"You are?" She asked, her tone containing a clear hint of surprise.

During this whole creation process, she had never once thought that the person in front of him was the disciple of the director. There was no reason to, after all.

She was only helping someone, so why would he try to hide his identity?

That's why Anna had never focused on his appearance or his identity within the academy. He had given her a great idea, so Anna had decided to help him to the utmost of her abilities.

She was truly grateful for the new path that Aiden had created for her, and she hoped that this potion would be able to help Aiden in whatever task he needed it for.

'Still, I do wonder if it's for the director or not,' Anna thought as she couldn't see any use for this potion.

Maybe it could be used to train your body since Mana does make your body a lot stronger in a lot of aspects. However, there was simply no way for her to make sure of it.

"But, why did you come here under another identity?" Anna asked.

"Ah! Uh... that's because... the director asked me," Aiden said as he seemed to be scrambling his mind to find a plausible reason.

Anna wasn't dumb and noticed that there was something that wasn't usual about Aiden. However, she didn't comment on it, she knew that he was the disciple of the director... so the reason why he asked for such a potion was probably a good one, there was no doubt in her mind about that.

But, even then there was honestly no reason that was coming to her mind about hiding his identity.

"Uh, alright I guess, no need to act so panicked. It was only a simple question," she answered.

Then, a high-pitched voice distracted them from the current topic as Evelynn was still watching both of them talking about everything and nothing at the same time.

"Fucking fix what's happening stop talking about that stupid subject. I want my mana back!" Evelynn shouted as time was running and running and there were still no changes, so of course she was extremely panicked about this whole thing.

This time, Anna took a good look at her as if analyzing everything about her, trying to find a solution. From the very beginning, she didn't really care about what would be happening to her, but she still decided that she would help her since it was kind of cruel to be fair.

"Sure, I'll help you," Anna said out of nowhere after a few seconds of watching her. Then, she took out something from one of her pockets that looked like the same potion that she had just drank.

This color was somewhat traumatizing for her since she didn't know if her state would be even worse by drinking this.

"Is that the same potion as earlier, the mana-restricting one?" Evelynn asked, scared, as she was getting a little closer.

"No, just drink it. You'll see what will happen," Anna said with extreme confidence.

For some reason, it seemed that she had found a way for her to get her mana back.

Aiden had to admit that he truly didn't care as he interrupted the discussion, "Can I have a vial of that potion?"

Evelynn was furious when she heard him say that as she had almost lost all of her hard work because of that stupid plan of his. He was lucky that Anna had found a way or else she might have done something that she would have regretted in the future.

*Glup*

*Glup*

Still, she didn't say a single word as she started drinking the entire potion extremely fast. Not even a second later and the vial was empty.

Anna decided to ignore Aiden for the moment as she wanted to see the effects of the potion that she had just given.

Her solution was only a guess, there were two options... The first one was that Evelynn got her mana back and the other was that there was no effect and no change at all.

Anna had decided to use her for her test since she had already drunk the potion. However, she wouldn't be telling that to Evelynn as she didn't want to scare her away. She would become her lab rat, so Anna needed to make sure that nothing happened to her.

"So, what happened? Feeling any different?" Anna asked as she looked to her right, seeing that Aiden was grabbing one of her vials and getting the potion.

"Are you that impatient? Can't you wait a little, we need to do more tests," Anna said as she had no idea as to who he would be making drink the potion.

She truly hoped that it wasn't the director since that would mean that he would be losing all of her mana. It would be catastrophic for the whole Magic Academy Ecosystem.

Aiden gave her a side glance, which clearly showed that he couldn't give a shit about what she would be saying next.

This potion was his way to getting out of there alive, the fact that Evelynn was having problems wasn't related to him at all. He wanted to leave this fucking world and go back to Nova where he would be able to try many things.

He didn't know in what state the Emberbane Family was currently since he had left while nothing special was happening.

However, there was a chance that the Nightshade family had tried some things since she had clearly disrespected them by taking in Aiden.

The Nightshades didn't know yet the true identity of Aiden, but it was only a question of time... who knew what would be reaction of Sylas when they would find out about the true identity of the Reaper?

"No, actually, I'll leave right now. I need to prepare some things for this morning, or rather, early in the night."
