The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 314 Chapter 314 – Thoughts

Aiden remembered all the people that he had trained with in his past life, they had all been like him. Lost, without a family, emotionless.

Actually, at the start, everyone had a lot of emotions, every single one of them loved to laugh together and have fun. However… that changed quite fast when Aiden and the others saw what would happen to him if he were to smile.

‘We would get beaten up, over and over again, until we showed no emotions. Until we were robots…’ Aiden thought as he still had shivers from getting hit over and over again.

“Aiden?” Garestsa asked seeing that Aiden was yet again in another trance.

And as usual, there was no answer that came from him.

“Um, sorry,” Aiden muttered slowly as he looked around. “Just thinking of old memories.”

Garestsa was confused as what he had just said didn’t answer her question at all, in fact, it only made her more confused about where he came from. Nonetheless, she didn’t try getting an answer since she had seen how much of an effect it had on Aiden.

“Oh, no worries, it’s fine.”

“Just keep practicing that, I need to be alone for a while,” Aiden said as he flew up getting further away from the cabin as he needed some time alone to think of everything.

As he was getting away both David and Garestsa looked at each other as they were clearly confused as to why Aiden was reacting so strongly to her question.

‘I knew that he didn’t want to talk about it. But, I didn’t think that it was that bad,’ David thought as he knew that Aiden had a rough past, however, never in a million did he think that it was this hard.

“That was quite weird, no?” Garestsa asked as she ignored why Aiden would have so much difficulty answering such a simple question.

He even had an answer ready, however, for some reason, some of his past memories had entered his mind which made him think deeply.

“No need to worry about it, I’m sure he will be fine, let’s practice that move instead,” David said as he spoke to Garestsa as if she was on the same level as her.

Well, to be honest, they were on the same level in terms of close combat techniques. So, it was a good thing for David not to have any ego regarding what was to come.

Garestsa was surprised by the tone in his voice. She even found it quite weird that someone so powerful would be talking to her so casually, were they slowly becoming friends or something?

“Sure, let’s do that!” Garestsa replied, excited, putting her worries about Aiden in the back of her mind.

While all this was happening, in a dark cave, there was someone sitting down thinking about a lot of things.

That person was without much surprise Aiden who was currently going over everything that had happened in his past life before his death.

He had never taken the time to remember what happened in his past life since most of it was extremely negative, however, even through all those negative moments, there had been some good ones.

Those moments were when he would explore the cities, and everything surrounding them. Aiden would have liked doing it with friends, however, he didn’t have any as every single assassin in the organization took their distance from each other soon after being beaten up like dogs.

Aiden could still remember Jack, the one who had killed him, he remembered how ruthless he had been at the beginning.

“Well, it’s not like he changed much as time passed, he was always threatening us. That son of a bitch…” Aiden muttered as he still remembered his final moments in front of him.

His death was one of the good things that had happened to him. A death that at first didn’t seem all that great, however, Aiden soon realized how much of a blessing it had been.

The leash that had been on him his whole life was now gone. He was now free, able to do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted, and Aiden now knew that freedom had no price.

‘The more I think about it, I have to admit that it was a good thing for me to die, I met so many people and discovered so many things that I never would have seen in my life. So, I guess I can thank you now, Jack.”

Aiden then slowly stood up as he looked around him, he saw the dark in which he had sat and flew up going back toward the training place that David had organized for them.

‘Well, I wasn’t long for too long at least,’ Aiden thought as he was pretty sure that this thinking hadn’t taken more than 10 minutes.

Aiden honestly doubted that anyone would be good at the skill that he had shown when he was going to get back.

There was a little bit of chance for the Director since he was so strong and probably talented on the same occasion.

However, Garestsa had been so scared throughout all of her life that there was no doubt that she would once again be scared of trying new things.

At least, that’s what Aiden thought when he had observed her.

He knew that she was somewhat talented, not as much as him, but she was still great. However, considering the things that she had never experienced, she always doubted herself so much even if she would be more than enough to realize those things.

‘I thought that she would have been over-confident when she had asked a duel against me. But, it seems that she grew wings for that one single moment because, after the fight, I understood that she really is scared of trying new things.’

‘I wonder though who’s going to be better between the two of them,’ Aiden thought as he had a good idea of who it would be, however, there were always exceptions.

So, who knew what could happen?

***

As Aiden was flying back, David and Garestsa were currently trying to replicate Aiden’s strike but doing it on one another.

What that meant, was that David was trying to do the same strike as Aiden, then Garestsa would as David patiently waited for her to finish her attack.

They would do this over and over again until one of them got the same feeling that they had felt when Aiden had done it to them.

The two of them remembered that feeling of fear that Aiden had been able to create with a single strike and step.

It really was impressive, both Garestsa and David admitted that they thought that it would be extremely simple at the start since it didn’t require any incantations.

It only needed a single strike. However, the problem was that the strike had to be perfect every single time or else it would fail every time.

As Aiden was getting closer and closer, he decided to stay in the air a little, observing the two of them practice.

Aiden was currently judging their level and from what he could see… it seemed that Garestsa was much better.
