Chapter 114: Magic?
Aiden, seeing the message in front of him, is thrilled to know that he can copy someone else's talent successfully, just like the system said. Now, he realizes how much potential this ability has, as he just has to copy as many talents, and he can easily become the strongest on this planet.
He felt the strong gust of wind in his hands earlier, which proved the cute lady in front of him was telling the truth. It took about 20 seconds for her to create the small gust of wind, but he knew that if she practiced more and used more mana, it could become a deadly weapon.
Knowing he had also copied the same talent, a natural smile formed on his lips, which dazzled Isla, who was standing in front of him while his hand was still on hers even after she showed the magic.
'Ah! Now all my doubts are clear. I shouldn't give up on my love when he has openly invited me.'
'Hehehehe, I knew he would fall in love with me.'
A smile also appeared on her cute face, matching his. Aiden, now seeing her smile, quickly let go of her hands and said in an apologetic voice,
"Oh, sorry. After what you showed me, I got excited and forgot to let go of your hands, knowing you can actually do magic."
Alicia was fuming, seeing her brother smiling at the shameless woman in front of him. She didn't doubt anything while they were holding hands for almost a minute, as she didn't know if doing magic was easy or not, so it could take time.
'I will have to get answers from my little brother, who is smiling at that cute lady.'
'Is it because I wasn't able to satisfy him fully in bed?'
Her eyes burned with determination as she decided to do even better than before, making sure her little brother wouldn't look at anyone other than her, as his sacred shaft only belonged to her.
When she heard what he said, she still didn't feel satisfied for some reason. This woman irritated her whenever she looked at her, and his words, while justifying that he forgot to take off his hand, didn't explain why he was smiling.
Aiden let go of Isla's hand and ordered her to return to her position. The atmosphere in the room was full of excitement, as everyone heard what was said about magic.
This confirmed that Isla could indeed perform magic, just as she had claimed, and the image of stupid Isla in everyone's minds improved slightly. They were eager to ask how she was able to perform magic, as they could feel it they could do it too but didn't know how to do it themselves.
Aiden suddenly heard his sister's whispering voice in his ear, with a hint of sharpness in her tone.
"Aiden, why were you smiling earlier?"
Aiden, hearing the sharpness in her voice, could tell she was angry, so he decided to answer honestly. He had nothing to hide since he had no other intentions besides his excitement. He whispered back, matching her intensity,
"Big Sis, I was just excited earlier to feel the magic. I think I can do magic like her."
Alicia felt that his words were true, so she decided to let it go, but she still felt annoyed, having seen the shameless woman smiling too.
'Yeah, that bitch is trying to charm my Aiden. I have to be careful of her.'
She replied with a bit of annoyance in her voice,
"Hmph!, okay."
Aiden noticed the annoyance in her voice but could tell it wasn't directed at him, so he ignored it. He realized, however, that his earlier actions might have caused some misunderstanding between him and the cute lady.
'Hmm, I would like to have a harem, but now is not the right time, so I'll leave her as it is for now.'
As for now, he needed to focus on becoming stronger quickly, as he didn't think he could stay inside the protected dome and revive his mother.
'I have to check the surveillance and see what's happening outside. Hopefully, the electricity is still working, but even if it's not, I have plenty of high-voltage batteries and generators just in case.'
'But first, I need to see how many have awakened their talents.'
So, in a commanding tone, Aiden said loudly, having noticed earlier that their expressions improved when he used a commanding tone,
"How many of you feel that you can also do magic like the lady here?" He pointed at Isla as he spoke.
One by one, everyone began answering him respectfully, and the only reason they were addressing him this way was because he was the general's nephew and he also looked incredibly handsome at that.
Aiden listened intently to each answer and found out that the other twin, whose talent he really wanted to copy at all costs, hadn't awakened her talent. Everyone else had awakened their talents, and he didn't find it odd since there was only a 10% chance of not awakening one's talent during evolution.
So, with a 90% chance of awakening, they would likely gain their talents during the evolution. He felt pity for her.
'System, can I still copy her talent even if she hasn't awakened it herself?'
The system felt annoyed by his words. Even with such an overpowered talent, this child was still so cautious and shouldn't he be out there killing monsters? She liked people who used their fists more.
But the goddess had informed her what to say when he asked this because she didn't know how his weird talent worked at all.
'No, you can't copy the talent of a person who hasn't awakened it themselves.'
'And you are lucky, as the little girl from earlier is quite talented, having used her talent successfully so quickly without any guidance from others so you have a good follower little weakling'
Aiden felt surprised, as he could feel that he could also control the air like her, and he thought he could do it even quicker than she could, in a shorter time.
She heard everything he was thinking and said in an annoyed tone, as this child still didn't realize how over geared he was,
'You shameless child, you have your overpowered physique, but that girl has nothing, and she still did it, which is an impressive feat.'
Aiden replied as he remembered she called him a little weakling so he had to pay her back but he couldn't deny he was a weakling.
'Yeah, now you understand I am the chosen one, and you should feel lucky to be the sidekick of the chosen one.'
He wanted to see if he could make her angry.
The goddess felt humiliated by his words, but she couldn't find a rebuttal, as technically, she was his sidekick. Still, she didn't want to accept this, so she only showed her anger.
'YOU!! You called me sidekick, You little weakling, you're lucky. If I had a body, I'd give you the beating of your life.'
'Whatever,' Aiden said, enjoying her anger. He liked her better now than when she answered him like a machine.
She clearly heard his thoughts and felt embarrassed about being played by him, but she still enjoyed talking to him more. However, her anger didn't subside.
'I like the little girl from earlier more than you, hmph!'
