Chapter 240 240 - Lightning Steps

BEEP

[You have created a new skill.]

This looked exactly like what happened a few days ago when he had succeeded in the second challenge, however, this time he still needed to do a few things before reaching the next one.

'Well, looks like I finally got it,' thought Aiden, as he realized that he was moving way faster than everything around him, he could see everything around him moving at an incredible or incredibly slow pace.

Paul who had just seen that the Reaper had finally learned it, couldn't help but be secretly happy about it since this meant that it would finally be his time to learn about the Reaper's movement technique and he was excited, to say the least.

However, he still didn't interrupt Aiden who was currently running around, enjoying himself since it was the first that he had reached such speed.

'However, even if I try my hardest, I'm nowhere close to the speed that he was going at earlier,' thought Aiden, knowing that he would be getting better and better by practicing and actually using this skill.

He wouldn't become the best in less than a day, after all. He would need to work on this skill, it simply made sense.

Then, after a few seconds of watching the Reaper running around, Paul had enough and actually wanted to learn since it was his time to do so.

In fact, he was even more impatient when he realized that the Reaper still wasn't making any sort of noise while running at such high speed. This made it even clearer that Aiden's movement technique was a really good match with what he had.

A few hours later,

"Are you sure this is the best way to learn it? There's no need to use mana or any of that stuff?" asked Paul, who was starting to doubt if this really was the way to learn that movement technique.

Aiden who was watching this had no choice but to be confused when hearing that as he was teaching Paul exactly the way that he had been taught in his past life.

Sure, the training wasn't the most pleasing as Aiden's past training was always based on pain and stuff like that.

"I don't know if it's the best way, but this is how I learnt it, so you should be able to do it," replied Aiden, as he had no idea if this was the best method to learn [Shadow Steps].

However, it wasn't like he would be able to create a better method on the spot.

Hearing that answer from Aiden, Paul could only close his mouth and continue practicing just like he had been doing for the past hours.

"Do I really need to hurt myself like this every single, though," continued complaining Paul, a grown-ass man.

Seeing the look that Aiden just gave, Paul once again closed his mouth as he knew that his complaints wouldn't make him reach his goal faster. 

That goal is learning [Shadow Steps].

While Paul was practicing, Aiden didn't need to pay that much attention to him which is why he was currently reading the details of the movement technique which he had just gotten, wondering if all he had gotten from it was speed.

[Lightning Steps]

[Rank: Blue]

[Restrictions: None]

[Cost: 15 MP for a five-minute activation.]

[Description: This skill or rather movement technique will make it possible for the user to move at speeds which wouldn't be possible normally. However, that isn't the only thing that this skill gives, but to discover its other abilities, the user will need to get more proficient with the skill in itself.]

'More abilities?' thought Aiden, trying to think about what had happened when Paul had used it earlier.

However, the only memory that he had was seeing a literal blur of light moving, so it wasn't exactly easy to pinpoint abilities with such images.

Also, seeing that this wasn't a passive skill, Aiden was a little disappointed, however, he wasn't really surprised since he had felt his mana being used earlier when he had activated it.

But, fifteen Mana Points was a huge cost considering Aiden's total Mana Points.

Then, after reading more on the skill, he closed his system once again and looked at Paul who was still struggling just as much as earlier.

Nonetheless, Aiden wasn't going to comment on how much he was struggling since he had probably looked even worse earlier.

Two days later, 

Aiden was watching the beautiful smile that had appeared on Paul's face only a couple of seconds ago.

"I fucking did it, finally," uttered the man, excitedly.

After two days of relentless torture, Paul had finally done it, well... somewhat as he clearly wasn't as proficient as Aiden when using it since he would make some noises when walking at some random moments.

However, it was clearly better than nothing.

In fact, Paul was so happy that he said something which surprised Aiden completely.

"Since we made this trade, I'll just guide you to Melinda right away, the fourth challenge is pretty much useless for you either way," said Paul, with a calm expression on his face.

'Useless for me?' thought Aiden, unsure if it would really be since he didn't have a class which meant that he could literally learn everything well as long as the system would allow it.

"Why would it be useless?" asked Aiden, right away.

"It's more for people with the enchantress class, I doubt you will even like the challenge in the first place," said Paul, seemingly knowing what Aiden liked and disliked.

However, Aiden couldn't really disagree with him as it was true that he didn't really want to learn how to make illusions and all that. 

As long as he could see through them, then there was no problem.

"Um, alright, but will Melinda be fine with that?"

"Just let me worry about that part, ahaha," said Paul, as he giggled seemingly not worried about what Melinda might do.
