The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Emma and Olivia listened to Melinda since they already that their being inside the duel room with Aiden and Isolde wasn't correct or even acceptable.

Also, seeing the clear on Melinda's face they thought that it was for the best if they followed everything that she said for the moment.

Then, Melinda closed the door to the duel room leaving both Aiden and Isolde in quite a tense situation looking at one another.

"So, who do you think is going to win?" asked Melinda.

However, a few seconds after she pronounced those words she regretted it and the reason why she regretted was quite obvious, Emma and Olivia's obsession with Aiden.

"Is that a question?"

"Aiden, isn't it obvious? Why would you even ask such a stupid question? The fight won't even take long, Aiden would beat her without even trying," said Emma, truly thinking those words.

There was not a single in her mind that Aiden might be losing the fight ahead of him. Olivia was also thinking the exact same, however, Emma had already told everything.

'Right, I forgot that they were crazy about him, I shouldn't have asked them anything,' thought Melinda.

In the duel room where both Isolde and Aiden were watching each other, there was a tension that was only growing more and more.

Isolde was looking at Aiden as if he had wronged her in the past, but it was obvious that Aiden had never done anything to her as he had seen her for the first time yesterday.

Then, as a few moments passed in complete silence, the usual beeping sound resounded in both of their minds.

*BEEP*

[The duel will start in thirty seconds.]

[No one can die while fighting inside this room.]

[The environment for the fight will be a lake.]

As Aiden finished all those messages that had just appeared in front of him, the floor which had been made out of stone started disappearing letting water take over.

But that wasn't all, it was the return of the force fields that made it absolutely impossible for someone to reach the opponent.

'Why a lake?' thought Aiden.

'Everything but a lake, there's no way I'm winning this now,' thought Aiden, as he started to lose all the confidence that he had gathered before this fight.

'I can't swim and there is a lake appearing right under my feet, just what is that luck?'

Then, he started to glance around himself, he could see that the water was getting higher and higher around him.

'Are there going to be trees or something,' thought Aiden, as he couldn't imagine that this environment would only be water, and simply that.

There had to be something or else this fight would simply be doomed from Aiden's side.

Then, as the stone continued to change into water, Aiden started seeing some structures slowly being created not too far away from him.

'But, wait... why am I even worrying about not being able to swim?' thought Aiden as he had forgotten quite the important fact.

He had forgotten about one of the things which he had acquired in one of the past trials.

He could fly.

Who cares if the ground was only water with nothing else on it?

He wouldn't even be touching it, he would simply fly and this way he would be able to be much more agile and faster in pretty much every possible scenario.

In fact, now that he thought about it, this environment was the perfect one for him as it would hinder his opponent but not him.

Isolde couldn't see Aiden's face because of his Reaper's mask, but if she could get a glance at it, she would be seeing one hell of a dangerous smile.

Then, the timer which was situated on the right of Aiden, started to get dangerously low.

[0:03]

[0:02]

[0:01]

[0:00]

[The duel will now start.]

While this was happening, in the Nightshade estate, there was one person who was extremely mad, breaking everything that he touched.

"Find me all the information possible on that Reaper or whatever he was called, and I want it now," shouted Sylas as he broke his desk in half.

But that wasn't the worst, his whole room was in the process of getting demolished. 

Everywhere that someone looked, they would be seeing something totally broken. 

"Um, sir we can't simply infiltrate the Emberbane Territory just like that," replied one of the people who were looking at this destruction with their own eyes.

Surprisingly, they seemed calm. It seemed that this wasn't the first time that something like that had happened and most of them knew that it would pass with a little bit of time.

Also, most of the time they would not even do whatever he demanded simply letting time pass as it was simpler this way.

Especially, when one of his requests was to find information on someone who was now part of a founding family.

Sure, if he had been part of a high-level family or even a middle-level one, it wouldn't have been much of a problem, but now that the Reaper had been recruited by Melinda in person, there wasn't much they could do.

"Just do it! Just fucking do it," continued shouting Sylas, still being confused by his rage of losing the Inter Family Tournament.

"Why was he there that little fucker, not even part of a founding family and he beats my son, my OWN FUCKING SON!"

The people around there hearing him shout so loud, simply watched not saying anything only observing the destruction of his room.

"What are you all still doing here? Go get information on him and fast," shouted Sylas, basically chasing all of his advisors out.

Then, he simply took the nearest object and destroyed it by literally crushing it in his palm. The people looking at him, however, still showed no reaction as they slowly started leaving his room one after another.
