The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 284 284 - Real or Fake

Seeing the two of them slowly walk toward him without saying anything, Aiden wasn't sure if it was normal as he remembered that he had killed them in the past so why were they here once again?

'Maybe that amount of monsters were all the monsters that I killed during the first trial?' Aiden thought as it made a lot of sense.

The reason why he came to that conclusion was that he couldn't see Ava anywhere.

"Oh, whatever, it's not like those two are real either way, and even if they were I would still kill them. It's not like I care about them."

Then, Aiden dashed forward just like he had done previously and decapitated the two of them as they didn't even try to defend themselves.

'What even is the point of this place? Is it really a test to tell what I will be the best at?' Aiden thought as he heard a beeping sound inside his mind.

*BEEP*

[You have reached the second level in the System's Evaluation.]

Aiden who saw this was really confused this time as he had no idea what that message was related to.

Well, actually, he had a little idea, it was probably related to the beeping sound that he had heard when he had first entered the dark portal.

'Did the system transport me somewhere else to test me?' Aiden thought as he realized that it would make a lot of sense.

However, it was confusing since he was already in a trial so why was it that the system or the Lumithars wanted to test him again? 

Weren't they already doing such a thing, why were they feeling the need to do it once again?

The point of the trials that Aiden was going through was to be tested by the system, so the "System's Evaluation" really didn't make any sense in his mind.

However, what could Aiden even do in the face of the system, an entity which came from higher beings?

The answer to that was quite simple actually and Aiden knew it very well as he had gone through the struggle of accepting that answer many times.

The only thing that he could was... nothing, actually the only thing that he could was get strong enough to reach those higher beings.

However, he had all those thoughts, he remembered that he could actually ask questions to the system and that he would answer most of the time.

"System what is this thing?" Aiden asked as he noticed that there weren't any monsters or anything for that matter, it was a simple space with nothing inside it.

If the colour of the walls were white, then Aiden could have called this place the Waiting Room, but at last, it wasn't.

*BEEP*

[An evaluation.]

Aiden reading this was honestly disappointed as he understood that the system wouldn't be answering any of his questions regarding this ordeal.

He knew that he would dodge any questions which asked for more details which is why he decided that he wouldn't be asking any as it would simply be a waste of time.

Then, as he thought of that, he heard another beeping sound in his mind.

*BEEP*

[The second level of the System's Evaluation will now start.]

Then, as Aiden read that, all of his surroundings changed as he was now in a forest with someone whom he knew very well.

'Mia?' Aiden thought as he looked at the person who was sleeping right beside him.

'Wait is this when we got attacked when we were sleeping?' Aiden thought as he slowly stood up getting out of the small tent.

'I wonder if this Mia is a real one since I didn't kill her or anything like that.'

Aiden wanted to talk to her a little which is why he hoped that she wasn't fake like those two people that he had just killed.

However, that could wait since as Aiden got out of the tent, he saw that there were a lot of monsters attacking him.

But, he noticed that there was a monster which he had never seen before.

'Actually, maybe I've seen it before?' Aiden thought.

Then, it hit him. 

He had seen it before, in fact, he remembered extremely well where he had seen that monster.

It was the monster who had caused an explosion to happen, the Minotaur.

A monster which he hadn't fought even a single time yet, however, there was something weird about it as it wasn't acting like the others mindlessly advancing toward him.

It seemed to be observing Aiden, analyzing him wanting to see his weaknesses.

However, Aiden couldn't keep watching that monster as there were monsters which were currently approaching him, trying to attack the tent in which Mia was sleeping.

'Oh, so you sacrifice them to see my abilities, huh? Pretty smart,' Aiden thought as he decided to give no information at all to that monster.

He would be annihilating all the monsters that were currently moving toward him so that the minotaur would obtain a total of zero information about him, he would make sure of that. 

Then, the annihilation started as the heads of all the monsters that were in front of Aiden all dropped on the ground practically at the same time since he still had [Lightning Steps] activated.

After killing all those monsters, Aiden looked up directly into the eyes of the Minotaur which was still acting all high and mighty looking down on Aiden.

However, just as he did that, he heard a voice from behind. A voice that he hadn't heard in a really long time.

"Who are you? Where are we?" asked Mia as she didn't seem to understand where she was at the moment.

'Huh? Is that really who I think it is?' Aiden thought as he couldn't believe that the Mia he had seen inside the tent could speak.

However, there was still something that Aiden needed to figure out and that was if she was the real Mia or some clone that the system had created.
