As he thought of the parkour, he didn’t think that he had to tell Isolde about it as he simply started moving away from her with complete silence as he was used to doing.
He had realized that Isolde wouldn’t be able to give him anything, so he had decided against telling her anything.
He would simply be wasting time if he were to go up and tell her that he thought that going toward the parkour was the key to this challenge.
Well, he still hadn’t told her about that focused state he had achieved earlier, but she would probably be able to figure it out considering that she placed at the Inter Family Tournament which meant that she wasn’t completely hopeless for sure.
And who knows maybe the next challenge would be in her favour.
Then, Aiden didn’t waste any time as he started moving around completely blind, well it was more partially as he was sometimes able to see glimpses of what was happening around him with that light.
“Are you still here?” called out Isolde as she didn’t feel Aiden’s presence anymore.
However, even while hearing that voice, Aiden simply dismissed it instantly as he couldn’t bother listening to it at all.
He wouldn’t answer that was what he had decided on and her calling him out wouldn’t change anything at all.
‘Alright, now all I need to do is find that damn concrete slab,’ thought Aiden, as he had no idea where he could even be.
Nonetheless, he decided that he would trust his instinct or to be more precise his [Sixth Sense] as he had a great feeling that he simply needed to walk forward for a little more time and that he would reach it.
That’s why, he continued walking forward sometimes hitting his foot against a rock or something like that.
While doing that, he was sometimes able to see a meter or two in front of him, however, the time when he could was simply too short and he had to simply trust his instincts which were most of the time right.
***
A couple of minutes later, Aiden was still walking forward without any idea if he was close to stepping on that concrete slab.
Then, as he made one step after another, he felt something extremely hard under his foot, Aiden wasn’t sure what it was but it for sure wasn’t grass or dirt.
‘Am I on that slab?’ thought Aiden, unsure if he was.
Then, as he thought that, he was able to get a quick glance of his surroundings and he remarked that he was indeed at the right spot.
Now all that was left was to finish this parkour and from Aiden’s expectation, he would be able to gain his sight back.
However, that was where there was a big problem, why would Aiden even be able to gain his sight back from climbing this parkour?
Or rather, how could Aiden even go through this parkour, he was literally half-blind.
***
While all this was happening, Evelynn was still watching from far away and she wasn’t looking at Isolde, but at Aiden who was almost about to complete her challenge by completing the parkour.
He was already at the base of it, so he only needed to go through it and he would be able to reach the third challenge.
However, that was a problem in itself as Aiden and Isolde were supposed to spend days on this challenge and it hadn’t been a complete day since the Reaper had started.
It simply made no sense how fast he was currently learning.
‘That kid is an anomaly, a pure anomaly,’ thought Evelynn, as she saw the Reaper step on that concrete slab.
‘How did he even make the right decision?’ she thought, confused as to why he hadn’t searched the direction in which the parkour was.
From her point of view, it was as if Aiden had felt it, he had felt which was to go. However, was that even possible in the first place?
Sure, she had told him that the key to this trial wasn’t the eyes, but that didn’t mean that he was supposed to figure out everything in less than a day.
‘Should I increase the difficulty again?’ thought Evelynn, as she saw Aiden looking around with his eyes closed, probably asking what to do at the moment.
‘No, I can’t if I raise it any more then both of them won’t be able to beat it.’
It seemed that this challenge’s difficulty had already reached its limit and that Evelynn wouldn’t be able to raise it higher than it already was.
Knowing that she couldn’t change anything, she continued watching the Reaper who was currently not moving, seemingly observing everything that was around him even if he couldn’t as he was currently blind.
However, she was shocked by the actions that he took after doing that.
Aiden started jumping toward one of his right which was where a platform was situated.
Evelynn had no idea how such a thing was possible, but it seemed that Aiden was able to see where the platforms that he needed to jump on were.
‘How is he doing this, is it still his instincts?’ thought Evelynn as the Reaper didn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon as he kept jumping from one platform to the other.
There was literally no way that someone would be able to do this without seeing anything.
Did he already figure out, how to get his sight back?
Evelynn knew that he was close to actually getting it back, but it wasn’t supposed to be this quick.
He seemed weird that he had already figured everything out, but it seemed that was the case as he was about to reach the top of the parkour, meaning that he had completed the second challenge.
It also meant that he had obtained a skill, and it seemed to be the case that the Reaper was immobile on the platform reading what was in front of him.
