The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

*BEEP*

[You have won the duel.]

Then, as he thought of that, the system instantly beeped inside his mind.

It seemed that after doing that deal with it, it had become a lot more responsive to some of Aiden's questions. However, he still refused to answer those that really mattered which pissed off Aiden to a high degree.

*BEEP*

[The kills inside of the duel room do not count, on the kill count of your item.]

'Thank you for that clear and concise response,' said Aiden to himself in his mind.

After making that deal with the system, he had decided to go on a softer approach with it, basically being polite as much as he could.

He thought that maybe it would be even more responsive if he were to act like that. However, he still couldn't see any real changes since he had made that change.

Then, as he continued to think about the system and the answer he lacked, the dead body of Isolde which had disappeared into particles started to slowly reappear in front of Aiden.

"That always makes you feel like the worst," she muttered as she could see all the parts of her body slowly starting to reappear.

Seeing this scene was quite impressive to Aiden since he had lived the exact same thing in the past, and he remembered the emotions that he had felt when doing that.

He remembered the helplessness that he had felt when "dying" a second time.

He wondered how Isolde was holding on, but it seemed that she was used to the defeats inside of this room as she revealed a little smile followed by a slight chuckle.

"You really were scary at the end," said Isolde, acknowledging the fact that she had almost shat in her pants because of only his glare.

But what could she say that deathless glare was traumatizing and she hoped that she would never have this see it again in all of her life.

Aiden hearing that he had scared her, wasn't confused as he knew that he didn't have the friendliest face to exist, but for her to be that scared was a little surprising.

'Maybe I got carried away,' thought Aiden as he remembered the end of the fight and some of the frustration that he had felt during its whole duration.

"Um, sorry about that, didn't mean to," apologized Aiden as he really hadn't wanted to scare her off at all.

"Ah no worries, you were trying and so was I," she said, flashing a beautiful smile toward Aiden.

However, it had little to no effect as Aiden barely even noticed it.

"I guess we better leave this room," said Isolde as she slowly headed toward the door of the room. 

"Oh, and thank you for this fight made me understand what I lacked the most," added Isolde as she turned around, seemingly, truly thinking those words from the bottom of her heart.

Aiden was a little surprised by the thank you, but he still appreciated it. 

One had to admit that getting thanked by the person whom you have just "killed" was quite weird, even if it made sense since the goal of this wasn't to eliminate the opposition.

It was a change that Aiden would have to get used to if he were, to be honest. Fighting to learn from one another wasn't a concept that he had experienced a lot in his past life and in this one.

Then, all of his thoughts went away when he heard the voices of the people who were entering the duel room as they were going out.

"You won! I never even doubted you for a second," exclaimed Emma as she ran up toward Aiden jumping in his arms.

Aiden not wanting to get hugged at the moment, simply moved out of the way which led to quite a funny moment of Emma being on the ground.

"She's lying when you stopped moving because you were in that illusion she was panicking, but I was calm, not once doubting you," said Olivia, acting like she was the most mature one of the two slowly approaching him and locking hands with him.

Emma who was on the ground behind the two of them, then shouted something back.

"She's lying she was just like me, that stupid bitch," said Emma as she quickly stood up and also locked hands with Aiden.

Then, they were back in their original position one on his left and one on his right.

"She's right, they were both worried about you," added Melinda, putting an end to that conversation, as she couldn't endure the two of them arguing any longer.

Just being in the spectator's room with them had been exhausting, so she didn't want to hear the two of them bickering any longer.

"But, enough of that, you both performed well in that fight, it was actually impressive to watch. Especially, when you cast your skill at the start, even I was impressed by it," said Melinda as she turned toward Isolde congratulating her a little, before turning back toward Aiden.

"But was it true that you had no knowledge regarding illusions?" asked Melinda as this was the question which had been weighing on her mind since earlier,

Aiden was a little confused by that question and he quickly answered it truthfully as he didn't think of a reason to lie to her.

Also, he wasn't going to lie to her again and again, he needed to reveal some bits of truth at some point.

"Um, yeah it was why?"

But Melinda ignored his question as she was confirmed that information.

"Then how? How did you get out of that illusion in two minutes even less?" asked Melinda, clearly shocked.

Isolde who was right beside them was even more surprised than Melinda as she thought that the Reaper had at least some knowledge of illusions.

"Do you really not know anything about illusions?" asked Isolde, as she simply couldn't believe it.

If she thought that there was a gap between the two of them, it had only grown much more.
