"Stronger than the Golden Level? Are you telling me that his aptitude is White?"
Even before Mr White could speak, an elder behind him —one of the principal's of the surrounding schools spoke. He was the same elder that had tried to calm Mr White down when he first realized Ace's insane aptitude for magic.
From what Aiden heard he had spoken earlier, he was called Mr Bai, the principal of West Sea High; one of the most popular schools in the world. Aiden didn't naturally didn't know him since he had never tried to delve into matters like researching the principals of the high schools.
"White? I think you are trying to twist what I am saying!" The middle aged man slowly shook his head to emphasize the confusion of the latter in this matter.
"If not white then what? Are you trying to tell me that there are people who have talents higher than White?" Mr Bai asked angrily. Even as a principal, he couldn't contain the fellow's arrogant attitude coming here and questioning Mr White's — a good friend of his — judgement.
"Ah, if I am to guess correctly, you must be Mr Bai!" the man suddenly turned his gaze towards Mr Bai. He seemed displease about the fact that Mr Bai continued to interrupt him.
"What about it?" Mr Bai asked fearlessly as he patted his chest on pride.
"If I am not wrong, you are the youngest principal so if I am to guess correctly, it means you haven't explored the world that much so what makes you say that there aren't people out there whose talent could even rival the heavens?"
"This..."
"Of course you have no evidence. Sometimes, it is better to listen to the people older than you." The middle-aged man continued to speak.
"Hmph!" Mr Bai snorted angrily. Even though what the man said made him angry, he realized that it was true too. He had no evidence to back what he was saying so he could only withdraw for the moment. Even though he was being disgraced as a principal, there was nothing he could do.
"Are you telling me that this kid's talent is a Supreme Talent?" Mr White asked after a while.
"Exactly! It seems like you are still sharp after all these years," the man chuckled and nodded.
Hearing the man's words, a frown formed on Mr White's face. "What makes you say that?" Mr White asked.
"Hmmm, let me put it this way. About a week ago, a friend of mine had a fight with this kid." the middle aged man said.
"A fight?"
"Yes a fight! And can you guess the result?"
Mr White frowned as he answered, "He lost?"
"Lost? Hehe, I think you are underestimating him. He won! And he did it easily!" the middle aged man said after a hearty laughter.
"He won? Are you telling me that a kid of this size can fight someone at at least mid Mortal realm?" Mr Bai asked.
"Indeed!" the middle aged man nodded firmly.
******
Aiden was confused when he heard that he had fought with someone about a week ago. Moreover, that person was at mid mortal realm. He doesn't remember fighting anyone and winning. The only person he fought was....
"Wait, could that the hench man he is talking about is actually Ghost Face?" Aiden couldn't help but mumble in shock.
The only person he had fought with about a week ago was Ghost Face and even though he didn't win — like what the middle aged man said, he did get away from him.
Also, from the way the man was talking, it was as if he knew of that incident. Because if this, Aiden couldn't help but think that Ghost Face was his hench man.
"Yes, Ghost Face is indeed my hench man!" the middle aged man said as he turned to Aiden.
"How did you know?" Aiden couldn't help but ask. He had only pondered about the matter so how did this man know that that what was he was thinking about.
"I heard you mumbling about it!" the man shrugged as be turned to Mr White. "So what do you say White? I think you should be more specific with your words next time!"
"You!!" One could tell that Mr White was definitely annoyed by the rumbling of the middle aged man but he forcefully held himself back. Turning his gaze into the man, Mr White questioned,
"Of course I will do just that. After all, I am a human and I also make mistakes. I will send these kids to the headquarters to check them. And..... I am sure that you didn't only come here to tell me this right? Tell me , what are you here for this time?"
"Hah, that's great. You are listening to advice. And as for the reason why I am here.... " The gaze of the man suddenly turned cold and Aiden immediately had a bad premiums motion that something was going to happen.
"..... I am here for the gate of Magic!"
"What?!"
********
"What? Gate of magic?"
"How can someone be this shameless?"
"Yeah the gate of magic is used to help people from the younger generation to be able to awaken their powers and you want to take ours? keep dreaming!"
"Yeah, from what I know, there is only one Gate of Magic in the entire City. And only the gate of Magic can be used to access the Myriad of Magic!"
The moment the man stated what he was here for, the crowd went into an uproar as they rained insults on him. Even the students weren't left out as they thought that the man's actions were simply too shameless.
Aiden knew that what they were doing was dangerous since the man could do anything at anytime. After all, the man was able to easily confront Mr White and talk down on him.
Such a person was definitely confident in their strength and they wouldn't make such a statement is he didn't have the strength to back it up.
