The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 252 252 - Skills Slots

'What can I do next?' he thought, knowing that he had a lot of different options at the moment.

He had the possibility of going back to one of the worlds that he had visited in the past for a whole month, he had the possibility of doing the fourth challenge which would potentially be the thing that would make him progress the most in terms of strength.

However, thinking about it a little, he wasn't sure if he wanted to enter the fourth trial right away.

He had come out of one not too long ago and he also knew that Thorin, the blacksmith, would soon be sending over the dagger and the equipment that he had requested because he had won the tournament.

'Still, I guess doing the fourth trial would be the best choice,' Aiden thought as he knew that the rest could clearly wait.

It wasn't like he wanted to go back and see Mia right away. He knew that she wasn't even waiting for him since from her point of view, she had no idea that he was from another world.

In her mind, Aiden was simply the king's assassin and he hadn't disappeared at all.

In fact, Aiden couldn't help but wonder if something happened between the two of them now that he had given back the body of the king's assassin.

He didn't know how the assassin had reacted and he wasn't sure he wanted to know since he had done many things with Mia.

She was his first time, after all.

Maybe she had done something weird to him, thinking that it was Aiden.

However, all of those were pure assumptions, Aiden had basically no idea at all about what happened which was one of the reasons why he wanted to go back.

If he were to be honest, if he came back and saw Mia with another man, he would be really jealous since in his mind she belonged to him even if he hadn't been in his body at the time.

And Aiden would have the exact same reaction if such a thing were to happen to Emma or Olivia.

'Wait Olivia? Why do I care about her, I don't even know her that much,' Aiden thought, realizing that he was slowly but surely giving some importance to the girl that he had met at the Inter Family Tournament.

He knew that she was outgoing, however, he hadn't expected her name to come to his mind when thinking about people that he held dear since they were in such small numbers.

Thinking about all the people that he held dear, a small list appeared in his mind and on it multiple familiar names could be seen.

However, just like it was previously mentioned, the list was short... extremely short as there were only four names on it.

At the top of the list, there was the name of Emma, followed by the name of Mia, then there was Maelis, then it was Olivia.

Sure, Olivia had gotten important for him out of nowhere, however, she was still at the bottom of the list.

Still, the accomplishment of being on the list was incredible.

Then, realizing that he had gotten away from what he needed to think about, he started to think about his options once again.

This time, something had changed as he knew that those people who were on the list only wanted the best for him which is why he knew that he could always go see them again in the future and that for the moment, the one thing which mattered was simple.

He needed to get stronger and the easiest way to do so wasn't by training, it was by participating in a trial and performing well inside it.

That was the key to getting stronger and all the awakened in the world knew about it as it was the most common method.

Sure, having little training camps just like the one that Aiden had just gone through was nice.

However, it simply couldn't replace a trial.

Then, after a couple of minutes of silence, he finally opened his mouth and removed the awkward silence that Melinda was feeling.

She had noticed that he had been thinking deeply, clearly trying to give her the most appropriate answer, however, it was starting to get a little bit long if he were to be completely honest.

"I will be doing my fourth trial," Aiden said as he heard a beeping sound in his mind.

It seemed that it was now the turn of Aiden to get talked to.

*BEEP*

[For your fourth trial, the system gives you the opportunity to unlock skills which are related to the Enchantress Class.]

[The same conditions as the first time this happened will be applied once again which means that you will need to participate in your trial alone.]

Then, as Aiden tried reading those messages from the system he heard the voice of Melinda in the back asking him some questions about his fourth trial.

However, it probably wasn't anything important as Aiden basically dismissed her voice completely focusing on whatever was happening in front of him.

'I guess it was time for me to learn new skills, huh?' he thought quite happy that he would now be learning skills related to enchanting people since his Charm was honestly quite high.

Then, as he thought that everything was over and that he would soon be leaving for his next trial, he heard another beeping sound in his mind.

*BEEP*

[You will now have ten skills slots instead of five.]

Reading that, a strange expression appeared on Aiden's face which reflected a lot of confusion.

'Is that normal or is it another thing that the system is giving to me,' thought Aiden, unsure if it was normal that he was receiving other advantages over the others.

Then, he looked up, thinking that he could maybe ask Melinda if this was a thing.

However, he quickly decided against it as he had already told her enough about him, so he didn't want her to know anything else about him since Aiden had no idea if he could trust her yet.
