The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

After jumping on the rocks surrounded by lava, Aiden jumped onto the fourth platform, which was a bit different from the others he had faced before.

On the fourth platform, there was no ground, only two walls, one on each side. To reach the other side, Aiden would have to jump between the two walls at a speed that would prevent him from falling on the ground.

Meanwhile, Maelis had her sight locked onto Aiden impressed with what she had seen so far.

'He arrived at the fourth platform, it's the place where most people stop, unable to complete it. Let's see if he will be able to pull it off in a single try,' thought Maelis, kind of expecting him to succeed.

Maelis had no doubt in her mind that Aiden wouldn't be able to do such a thing when she saw the fashion in which he passed the second platform with the jumps he was performing there.

Aiden, seeing those two walls, didn't even question what he would have to do and immediately jumped onto one of the walls, knowing he only had 42 seconds left to beat the record of this challenge.

He wasn't typically that competitive, normally getting first place wouldn't have much importance to him but it seemed that this challenge had awakened something in him: the sense of competition.

He wanted to beat the person who was in the first place, to prove to himself that he was good at this and that even the best in this place couldn't rival him in terms of movement and agility.

He activated his skill [Mind of an Assassin] to calm his mind and focus on the task ahead. He also wanted to be able to see the best way to complete the challenge, and a red aura started emitting from him, which was noticed immediately by Maelis.

'He already has an aura, but how? He only completed the first trial; just what did he accomplish on the first trial for him to have one?' thought Maelis, shock in her eyes as she saw some sort of power coming out of Aiden.

With his skill, Aiden saw an image of himself running in front of him, not even jumping to the other wall. It seemed like the most efficient way to pass this trial was to run on the wall and not jump but would it really work?

Not questioning the image he was seeing, he followed it just like he did when he killed the boss monster. He knew he was going to succeed if he did everything that his image showed him.

'Why isn't he jumping from one wall to another? Wait, is he actually running on the wall?' thought Maelis, once again shocked by the actions of Aiden.

"Come see this!"

"How is he doing this?"

This action of Aiden attracted people who were training in the training grounds. The fact that the matriarch was even watching made them realize that the person who was doing this was important or would become important.

The people watching were even more shocked when they saw the time on the chronometer, which indicated that only 57 seconds had passed since he started the challenge.

"Is he really going to beat Emma?"

"Don't be ridiculous. She's the most talented awakened in the history of the Everheart family."

"Right, she even has a special class. Someone like him probably won't be able to beat her time."

"But why is the matriarch watching him?"

"Are you dumb? She obviously wants to recruit him into the family."

Discussion about the identity of the young man doing the challenge and why the matriarch was also there watching started happening all around the training grounds.

But Aiden, in his current situation, didn't hear a thing and was completely focused on finishing as fast as possible.

His mind was completely clear because of the skill he had activated; the only thing he could feel was the beating of his heart, which was steady, not even accelerating.

He ran on the wall without falling down and reached the other side. He quickly jumped onto the last platform, and he now had 25 seconds to finish the last platform, which was considered by many to be the hardest, with deadly projectiles being thrown at him that he needed to dodge.

The thing was that the projectiles thrown were almost impossible to see with the naked eye, especially when the stats were being limited to one.

But with his skill, it wouldn't be much of a problem. He simply followed the trail shown by his clone and saw bullets passing on his right and left, never being close to hitting him.

"How is he able to see the bullets? Does he have some power that allows him to see into the future?" exclaimed one of the people watching him.

'Is his class related to seeing the future, agility, or maybe even sight? I can't even tell because he is good at too many things. It's like the system gave him the opportunity to do anything he wanted,' thought Maelis.

Aiden continued advancing forward, once again not even hearing the reactions from the public that had gathered to watch him finish the challenge.

All of them were amazed by how he advanced from each platform. It wasn't anything like what the others did.

Usually, when arriving at the last part of the challenge, the participants would have memorized the pattern of the bullets to be able to dodge them, but that wasn't even the case with Aiden, who seemed to be doing it purely on instinct.

Arriving at the finish line, Aiden gave a quick glance at the chronometer that his system was showing him and saw the number [01:22].

He had done it; he got first place in only one try.

"1 minute and 22 seconds in a single try. Imagine if he does it again?" said one of the people watching him.

'He was able to beat Emma, and without any practice. How the hell are you this talented?' questioned Maelis, not understanding the moves Aiden had just pulled off." 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Author's Note :

What will be the reaction of Maelis when she learns that Aiden has no class?

If I hit 100 powerstones before the end of the week I will drop one bonus chapter, might be two if I have time :)
