After walking for a little, he entered Maelis's office as fast as he could without even knocking as he wanted his rewards.
He wanted to see what his armor would look like, he wanted to see if she had managed to contact the mercenary she had talked about last time.
After all, the meeting with the mercenary was what he wanted to have as soon as possible.
He simply had too many interrogations without answers as the system never wanted to answer the juicy questions as if having a mind of its own.
"Oh, Aiden, make yourself at home I guess," said Maelis seeing Aiden entering not even looking at her as he went to sit at his usual seat.
Aiden hearing this only nodded and waited in silence as if it was obvious what he was waiting for.
"Hello? Can you even speak?" said Maelis finding Aiden's attitude quite rude as he wouldn't usually act like this at all.
Aiden realizing that he wasn't acting like a normal being quickly opened his mouth.
"Oh, sorry about that, it's just when I heard you talk about rewards I was too excited," said Aiden as he knew that his reaction had been quite excessive.

Aiden obviously was going to say an answer that resembled the one he had just given Emma.
"Well... quite bad to be honest I'm stuck on the second step, any tips?" asked Aiden trying himself even if he knew that it was better for him to find on his own.
"The shaking of the ground, huh? Well, Emma probably told you already but it's better for you to find on your own, nonetheless what helped when I was stuck at this stage was focus on what was beneath the ground and not at its surface," said Maelis, hoping that it could help him a little.
'Focus on what is beneath the ground,' Aiden kept repeating inside his mind trying to make sense of what she had just said as it couldn't be useless.
But as he racked his mind for over a good minute, he realized that it didn't help him at all at the moment.
Nevertheless, he kept this information in the back of his mind for when he would be trying the technique again.
"Thanks, I guess," said Aiden after a good minute of useless thinking.
"What about Emma, how's it going?" asked Maelis who still didn't know what had happened between the two of them.
Funnily enough, Maelis was almost in the same situation as Emma, having no memories of their moment together.
'Should I tell her about it?' thought Aiden, debating whether or not to do it.
The most dominating answer in his mind was obviously "no" as it wouldn't make him gain anything to say to Maelis that her daughter was on the ground begging for his dick as if nothing else mattered.
He thought as hard as he could trying to find an advantage to saying "yes" but he just couldn't. The only small advantage would be that because of that their relationship was growing well, but it still wasn't enough.
Because of those reasons, he answered that nothing major happened and that everything was going as per usual with their respective teachings of each other.
Then, it was finally time, it was time for Aiden to see his light armor that he would now wear pretty much all the time as he didn't have any other clothes.
The outfit that he was wearing was starting to smell quite bad and he needed a change.
"Ready?" asked Maelis smiling seeing Aiden's expression which couldn't contain his excitement.
He still didn't know if she was able to join the mercenary but this was only secondary in his mind as his armor was about to be revealed.
But before Maelis showed him, she added some words just to annoy Aiden a bit because of his earlier actions.
"It was crafted by a talented blacksmith/craftsman, you will see that it is quite detailed. Maybe this will make your relationship with Emma develop even more," she said winking not knowing that it had already developed by a lot.
Aiden hearing her teasing him, only nodding as he knew that if he showed any emotions that showed his annoyance then maybe she was going to make him wait even more.
Then, after a long wait, Maelis was finally going to reveal what his armor would look like.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut that wasn't what truly interested Aiden, he wanted to see its rank, and what it would give him.
She opened a drawer from her desk and out of it came out an armor made out of leather.
The leather was of the color black as Maelis knew that he liked being discreet which is why she had taken this choice.
The armor was basically an all-black armor made out of leather.
The choice of this material was also great for Aiden as he liked moving around a lot and this material made sure that his movements wouldn't be restrained at all.
He knew that this wouldn't be the best armor defensively but it was still better than nothing.
"I like it, it looks cool," said Aiden showing his gratitude.
But, then as he thought that this was it, Maelis still wasn't done as she took something else out of her drawer.
It was all black, however, there was some kind of design on it, a design that Aiden had seen before in his past life.
The design was in white color which showed a clear contrast to the black color.
But then as Aiden started to see some more of what was coming out of the drawer, his eyes opened wide in shock as he simply couldn't believe it.
"Do you like it? It's for the tournament," said Maelis showing what she had in her hand to Aiden clearly.
