The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 263 263 – Humiliation

‘Family? What are they talking about?’

Then, Aiden thought for a second or two and realized what was happening.

The people who were seated next to him were probably wondering why someone they had never seen before had been given the right to be seated there.

They probably all know each other very well.

That was what Aiden had deduced from that short interaction, however, he wasn’t sure if he was actually right.

Maybe they simply wanted to know if he was part of a renowned family.

Then, as he was about to open his mouth to answer, the lady who had brought him here interrupted him or at least she had cut him short with his answer.

“He isn’t from any renowned family, his talent was what brought him here next to all of you.”

The manner in which she had said it showed that she was deeply impressed with the results that Aiden had obtained. 𝓃𝞸𝑽𝗲𝔩𝒩𝑒xt.𝐜𝑶𝓜

“Then, where does he come from?” one of the people seated asked.

This time, the woman had no idea what to answer since she didn’t know the response to that question as she had only heard his first and last name earlier.

So, she paid attention to what Aiden would be saying, clearly interested in knowing more about his background.

‘Is she going to answer in my place once again?’

Thinking that, Aiden waited a few seconds and when he noticed that the lady was keeping her mouth shut, he answered the question.

“Um, hello my name is Aiden Nightshade and as she said I’m not from any renowned family. In fact, I come from so far away that there is no way that you will know the name of my village.”

Aiden had decided to present himself a little as he didn’t like the way in which the lady who had guided him had done so, he wanted to be the one presenting to the others which actually made a lot of sense since that was simple courtesy after all.

However, the young people who heard that they wouldn’t know the place that he came from since to take it as an insult as they immediately demanded to know where he was from.

Hearing them wanting to know more about it, Aiden flashed a smile as he had already thought of what to answer in such a scenario.

He had thought of saying something random and if they said that they never heard of it, he would simply answer ‘I told you so’.

There was literally no counter-play to that answer or at least Aiden hadn’t noticed any.

“I’m from the Emberbane Village,” Aiden answered not lying.

Then, seeing the faces of the people around him, Aiden already knew that they had never heard such a name before.

Well, it made sense, why would they know about the name of a place from another world, there were after all not a lot of chances of that happening and that was why he had said that.

“The ember what?” one of those people questioned, seemingly not understanding what they had said.

Seeing as there were some of them who were skeptical of his answer, he repeated what he had just uttered once more.

“The Emberbane Village, that’s where I’m from.”

As he said that, there was obviously a smile on his face as he realized that he had done it, they had been tricked and there was nothing that they could do about it.

Seeing as none of the people around him knew about that place, they stopped asking questions about it as it would only further humiliate them which wasn’t something that he wanted.

Then, the lady who had guided Aiden started leaving and as that happened, Aiden only heard a bunch of murmurs from those that were seated right beside him.

‘What could they possibly be talking about?’

Unknowingly to him, those people were thinking of something to get back at Aiden, well to make him as dumb as them.

That was their plan.

They wanted to ridicule him just like he had done to them.

That whole situation where he had mocked them was completely unknown to Aiden as he didn’t think that he had done anything wrong in that scenario.

And to be completely honest, he hadn’t.

“What is your affinity person who comes from far away,” one of the people seated next to him said, in the hopes of mocking Aiden.

However, Aiden took that question quite seriously not minding what they had just said.

‘What can I possibly answer to that? That I have too many and that they weren’t able to know?’

Aiden was analyzing what he could possibly answer and it was clear that it wasn’t the best situation.

He knew that whatever he would be answering they simply wouldn’t believe and simply mock him.

‘Where’s that lady when I need her?’ He thought, knowing that she could have supported him when he had answered.

However, as he turned to look where she was, he realized that she was nowhere to be seen and that she had probably gone outside once again greeting the other people who had registered.

‘Well I guess I have no choice, I’ll just lie to them, what were the common affinities again?’ Aiden thought as he tried his best to remember his earlier conversation with Evelynn.

He knew that she had mentioned them quickly and all that he needed to do was remember about it.

‘I think she mentioned fire, right?’

“Fire, I have a fire affinity,” Aiden answered as he knew that he couldn’t make them wait much longer or else they would suspect him for hiding something.

However, he hadn’t expected what happened next.

“You’re of the fire affinity, ahahaha.”

“Ahahaha.”

All of the people in the front row seemed to start laughing as if what Aiden had just revealed was bad.

‘Wait did I make a mistake? Fire was an affinity, right?’ Aiden thought as he didn’t understand what was happening.
