The real problem was that Aiden was also part of those people, he knew that he didn't have a lot of chances at entering the academy.
Sure, he had a good core or whatever that meant, and he also had a lot of affinities, but he had no idea how to utilize them which was why he wanted to enter the academy, to learn.
However, it seemed that it wasn't a viable option at all since most people here were clearly acquainted with magic in general.
If the first thing that they asked to join the academy was to test their accuracy when launching spells then Aiden simply couldn't understand what would be happening.
However, Aiden had a plan to pass those tests, but there was just a small problem he didn't know if Sophia would be accepting his method.
Because if he couldn't figure out how that magic thing worked, he decided that he would clear the challenges without using magic.
That was his plan.
