Chapter 353 - Murderer
Aiden took a good look at the face of the corpse and used his skill to change it perfectly, he knew that every single detail would count.
Aiden had been able to learn about the affinity and name of the man but that was it, he didn't know anything else. He had no idea about his schedule that he had or his personality, so he knew that he needed to find information about this person, and the best source of information was literally in the same room as him - his roommate.
'Let's find him,' Aiden thought as he knew that his roommate must have heard them. 'Oh, actually maybe he didn't hear me with that alarm that's sounding.'
As the alarm sounded, a voice came with it, giving instructions to every student.
"There is a murderer in the academy. Everyone, please evacuate the academy as we are now in search of him!"
Aiden smiled as he knew that they were talking about him. 'Well, seems like they found her body…'
He knew that it had only been a matter of time which is why Aiden wasn't panicking at all, keeping a stoic face for everything that would be coming his way.
Aiden immediately prepared himself to open the door in front of him after hiding the body of the person he had replaced in the closet that was close to this room.
He knew that it wouldn't be good enough in the long run, but he would leave it there until he found more time. Right now, he needed to evacuate the dorms with his roommate, if he was there.
"Alek, open the door we need to leave right now, didn't you hear the alarm sounding?!" A voice on the other side of the door said, panicking out of her mind.
Aiden was confused when he heard that voice as he thought that he would be the one going up to him first.
"Sure, just a moment," Aiden shouted as he made sure that Alek's body couldn't be seen by anyone in this room.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
After making sure that there would be no problem when opening that door, Aiden swung it wide open with a stressed expression on his face.
Aiden had decided to take a gamble, he would be acting as scared as possible hoping that it would correspond to that person's personality. And… even if he was wrong about it, it wouldn't even matter since they wouldn't have any sort of proof of his identity.
Only someone who was extremely close to Alek would be able to notice that his body frame had changed, however, the differences were so small that Aiden would be incredibly surprised if someone could spot such things.
He knew that he had thought the same thing with the potions, but it was even harder this time.
"Alek, fucking hell. Open that door faster! We need to go," the person on the other side of the door shouted putting pressure on Aiden.
"Yeah, I know I know, give me a s-second," Aiden said, his voice febril.
His roommate looked at him shortly and immediately started dragging him by the arm which surprised Aiden completely because he had thought that Alek's roommate was weak from how he looked, however, he was able to drag Aiden as if he was a doll which was honestly impressive.
A few minutes later, Aiden who was under someone's else appearance was coming out of the Magic Academy as if was quite impressed with what he was seeing.
There were rows of students on his right and on his left, patiently waiting for someone to arrive.
'I have to admit that they are well prepared for such situations,' Aiden thought as he made sure to look for David right away.
Aiden wanted to make sure that he wasn't here at the moment because he was the only one who could potentially blow his cover.
And… unfortunately for him, the director was here and he was currently going past every student one by one, looking at them carefully while moving his arms a lot as if casting a spell.
Before Aiden could wonder about what that spell was, both he and his roommate arrived face to face with a teacher who directed them toward the big line that was on the left.
"Go there and wait, the director will come see you in a couple of seconds," the teacher said not even glancing at them. It seemed that she was way too focused on her task at the moment, to do such a thing.
Aiden celebrated in his mind for a short moment, however, he instantly realized that the director was currently going toward him, and for some reason, he could feel that something was going wrong.
'The spell is probably to reveal any type of spell used for morphing into another person,' Aiden thought as he knew that he was currently using something related to that. 'Anna probably told him about that.'
After all, Anna had seen him take another physical appearance which is why the director wasn't taking any chances looking at every single one of them.
'Let's just hope that mine isn't considered a spell,' Aiden thought as he knew that he couldn't run away right now, he could only hope that everything would be fine.
As he looked at everyone around him, he started hearing voices from students who were a couple of steps away from him.
"Do you know what's happening? Who do you think the murderer is?"
"Shush, don't say anything who knows they might accuse you or something… The only thing I know is that it's extremely serious, just look at the director even he's here, looking at all the students."
The student heard this and closed his mouth for a short second before opening it once again.
"Do you think it's his disciple who's the murderer, that person was weird after all. Don't you remember their fighting style, it was so weird."
However, before their conversation could continue even further there was the feminine voice that replied, completely denying whatever they were saying.
And that person was… Evelynn.
