The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 313 Chapter 313 - Old Friends

Aiden dismissed those thoughts as he reopened his eyes.

'What should I show them?' Aiden thought as he wasn't sure what would be the best move to start with.

After a few seconds, it seemed that he had figured out what he wanted to do as he started moving around his dagger in a certain manner.

"Okay, I will show you how to slice, or slash someone's neck if you would prefer," Aiden said with a very calm voice.

Garestsa had shivers down her spine hearing someone talk about death so easily.

'Just what did he go through to speak about such things without the slightest hesitation?'

David was also surprised about how cold and rational-minded Aiden was.

He was never perturbed, always focusing on the task ahead of him with a lot of concentration. It was the first time that David had noticed such a desire to get stronger from a student of the academy.

Many thought that they were like Aiden, but none of them had this strong desire to get stronger. It seemed like Aiden would lose his life if he didn't get strong, it really was interesting from David's point of view.

He knew that he ignored a lot of things about Aiden's past, however, he could clearly imagine that a lot of killing was involved since he talked about those subjects without the slightest problem.

"I would need someone to demonstrate," Aiden said as he pointed toward Garestsa. "Come here, I will use you."

Garestsa wanted to refuse but she remembered her agreement with Aiden which is why she slowly advanced, scared out of her mind.

'Am I going to die?' She thought as she started trembling while walking forward.

Aiden frowned when he saw such a thing, not understanding what was happening to her.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah, of course," she replied still trembling because of what Aiden was about to do to her.

She remembered their duel and how he had almost killed her, even if it wasn't anything personal. It was still taking a huge toll on her mind, knowing that at any possible moment, she could die at his hands.

And she also knew that she wouldn't be able to do anything if Aiden were to attack her. She remembered how hopeless she had been as he dived down from the sky.

'I really was pathetic, crying in the fight,' she thought, hoping that people hadn't seen her crying.

A few moments later, she was right in front of Aiden, looking at him directly in those red eyes of his.

"Ready? Make sure that both of you pay attention," Aiden said as he was about to perform one of his signature moves.

He had thought about it and this was the move that he was the most comfortable showing, and it was also extremely when killing all his opponents.

There was honestly no better feeling but to silently kill someone with one single strike.

Then, Aiden grabbed his dagger as he slowly made the move at first making sure that they could everything related to it.

From the trajectory, the pressure that he was putting on the dagger... it didn't matter what it was, they would be able every single trick regarding it.

'I don't think I should make them practice like I did in the past, most people don't seem to appreciate my ways,' Aiden thought as he knew that most didn't like to suffer too much during training.

The dagger then stopped right before touching Garestsa's neck.

"Alright, you all saw what happened and how I did it, right?" Aiden asked.

Both of them nodded heavily as it was quite simple from their point of view.

"Now, I'll do at my speed, so try to aim for that level of proficiency in the future," Aiden muttered as he knew that it would take them many years to reach his level, especially since they knew nothing about close combat.

Aiden once again walked back a little, taking a little bit more distance from Garestsa this time.

He wanted to show them how it would look like when he would do the strike while moving forward.

"Ready?"

None of them answered, however, it was quite obvious that they were both waiting for him to show them the move.

Garestsa was not that excited since she was the one who was receiving such a move. However, she did her best to try and shake as little as possible.

Aiden then dashed forward as he elongated his arm forward, his dagger reaching Garestsa's neck in less than a single second.

Seeing that the dagger was already right beside her neck, panicked as she hadn't seen Aiden move at all.

However, David who had been watching from the exterior was extremely impressed by the technique that Aiden had just used.

'Just where did he learn such a thing?' He thought.

Just what would be his answer if Aiden were to reply "I learned this in another world".

"Can you do it again?" David exclaimed. "But do it on me, this time. I want to see what it looks like when we're in front of you."

Garestsa hearing the director's demand celebrated in her mind as she knew that Aiden would stop attacking her a little.

It would be a small moment where she would be able to get a good look at the full movement since she hadn't been able to before as she would close her eyes when Aiden was getting too close.

Well, at least, she tried to when she could actually see Aiden.

"Sure," Aiden said as he started walking toward David, not minding it at all.

They were the ones being trained, so he would listen to their every demand if he could do them.

Aiden then did the exact same thing to the director who made sure to look at the movement the whole way.

Right after Aiden had finished, he couldn't help but ask where he had learned such a strong technique.

It was so deadly, that David wondered how a kid, who had at most 18 years of age, would be able to learn such a technique.

"Where did I learn this? In my village, a long time ago when I was nothing more than a little kid," Aiden said as he continued talking about that stupid story that he had made up out of nowhere.

That was the best excuse that he had thought of.

David nodded as he had already known about such a thing, however, it seemed that Aiden didn't want to give any more details about it.

However, it wasn't only the director who was curious about his background, Garestsa was also quite curious.

"What was this village like? Did you all practice things like that?"

Aiden hearing that question had no choice but to remember everything that had happened when he was young and training.

'It really was hard,' Aiden thought as he was able to get an outside point of view now.

Before he had only known that sort of training, so it was something extremely normal to suffer so much, but now as he explored all sorts of worlds, he was starting to realize that it wasn't the case at all.

'I wonder what happened to them?' Aiden thought as he remembered all the other assassins who were part of the organization.
