[You have won this team battle.]
Reading this, Aiden was quite happy as he had done it.
He had done it, the first step of many had been accomplished and Aiden was overjoyed.
However, he knew that it was only the start of a long way.
He knew that if he wanted to win some good rewards, he would have to get a lot further into this Inter Family Tournament.
"We did it, we did it," said Emma as she ran into the arms of Aiden.
She didn't realize instantly her actions as she had done them without even thinking.
But, seconds after doing it, she realized that she was currently inside Aiden's arms.
"Um, sorry," she said as she moved away from Aiden as she knew that he didn't like such things.
However, the next words that came out of Aiden's mouth confused her. She had expected him to not say anything, only showing some displeasure on his face, but the words that came out of his mouth shocked her.
"Why are you sorry? There's no need," said Aiden, realizing that he was currently opening up a little more toward Emma as he wouldn't have said those words before.
Emma, only blushed, hearing this, still keeping her distance away from him as she jumped down from the tree as Aiden followed right behind her.
Aiden followed right behind her, as he could also hear the cheers from the other members of the team.
"What was that at the end?" asked Olivia, curious as to why everything in their surroundings completely changed.
Aiden, however, only ignored her as he didn't want to reveal anything about what he had just done.
It was a secret of his, and thinking back a little, he understood that maybe he shouldn't have used it and simply on his teammates to finish the job on their side.
However, he hadn't done so, to prove to himself that he didn't need to rely on them at all.
Maybe it wasn't necessary, but Aiden had felt that he needed to do so.
"You know, you really are mysterious," said Olivia, talking about Aiden as she started to get closer to him.
Aiden once again ignored, not even looking at her as she started to get closer and closer to him.
"And, that's kind of hot, you know, being deadly and all," whispered Olivia, right into Aiden's ear as her breath went onto Aiden's neck.
However, she once again received absolutely no reaction from Aiden, so she decided to tease him a little more.
"What? Why are you so serious? Calm down, we won, in fact, I think that we should relax together," said Olivia as she winked at him at the end.
Aiden this time, only flashed a little smile on the corner of his mouth, finding all of this quite funny.
"Oh, the Reaper smiled, I repeat the Reaper smiled," said Olivia getting closer and closer to him as she lifted her face up and whispered something else in his ear.
"Are you sure that you don't want some of this?" she said, clearly talking about her flawless body.
Aiden, however, just couldn't grasp why this woman was trying so hard to get him.
So, he whispered back at her without any hesitation.
"Why are you doing this?"
Emma who was seeing all this closeness and bickering between the two started to get a little mad, but she still didn't say anything only observing the situation.
"I don't know, your vibe and all, it's attractive," she whispered back in his ear as she moved closer on purpose so that Aiden would be able to feel her boobs going against his body, squishing against it.
However, Aiden only nodded hearing the answer as he had no time to waste on some random female that he didn't even know that well.
Seeing him getting away from her, Olivia didn't want to lose touch with a potential great power, so she quickly thought of something to stay in contact with him.
"Then, here with this we'll be able to talk and all, and who knows maybe I'll be able to see your beautiful face under that scary mask of yours," said handing a Mental Transmitor to Aiden with her name on it.
Aiden grabbed it and stored it inside his pocket.
"And what makes you think that I'm beautiful," said Aiden, wondering why she was so sure that he was as she hadn't been able to see his face even once.
"Well, it's quite simple, I trust the ladies," said Olivia, as she winked toward Emma who was flustered over her comment.
But, Aiden was completely clueless as to what that meant as he looked behind and saw Emma with a completely red face, clearly shy over what Olivia had just said.
'Wait did she mean that she trust Emma's judgement,' thought Aiden, realizing the meaning behind those words as he also blushed a little, now almost sure that Emma felt something for him.
Well, he had always kind of knew since that fateful night between the two of them, but because she hadn't talked about it at all, he had decided to keep his distance from her as much as possible not wanting to do anything wrong.
Then, the forest in which they were started to disappear little by little as it turned into particles as if it had never even existed, it was like the same process that happened when you killed a monster inside of a trial, it was quite interesting.
Then, clapping sounds started being heard from their surroundings as they found themselves in the middle of the arena with all the competitors around them.
It seemed like everyone had finished their fight as Aiden could only see one hundred people which meant that the rest had been eliminated.
Aiden didn't know where they had been sent to, but he knew that they weren't part of the tournament anymore.
"Good job to everyone who passed the first fight," said a deep voice, without revealing its appearance.
"I know that most of you want to pass right away to the second part of the tournament, however, there has been a weird request by one of the founding families heads," announced the voice.
Aiden hearing that started to panic a little as he thought that they had discovered him and that they were about to eliminate him for good, killing him as if he was simply an ant.
However, his stress only amplified when he heard those next words.
"One of the founding families' heads would like to meet with the Reaper," said the voice as if expecting the Reaper to show himself to everyone.
However, it was quite the opposite as Aiden was currently hiding as much as he could not wanting to meet whoever had just called him.
"The Reaper would you please come forward," said the voice once again, wanting to give some glory to Aiden.
"Thorin, stop and just bring him to me, he clearly doesn't like the attention that you're giving him," said Melinda who was right beside Thorin who was actually the voice.
Obviously, this hadn't been heard by anyone as Thorin once again took a deep voice to talk.
"No need to come forward, I will now teleport you in a room where you will have a private conversation with one of the strongest people that exist," said the voice trying to make Aiden stressed even more than he already was.
'No way, was I really discovered,' thought Aiden, as he could feel himself being transported somewhere else against his will.
Beside him, Olivia, Logan, and Emma all seemed jealous of him as they simply gave him looks of envy as if wanting to be in his place.
'Then, take my place, when did I ask for this,' thought Aiden, as he really didn't want to meet whoever was waiting for him.
However, he had no choice as he could his vision of the Arena starting to fade as he opened his eyes again and was in a completely different place.
Looking around, Aiden was quite stunned by how everything looked. It was just so simple.
It looked like someone had just organized this minutes ago, as there were in this room two chairs and one small table in the middle of it.
There was still no one there as Aiden started advancing toward one of the two chairs, sitting down, waiting patiently as there was still no one arriving to meet him.
'What's happening? Are they just leaving me here without anyone coming to see me,' thought Aiden as he just couldn't understand what was currently happening.
Then, as he thought that, someone appeared in front of him, teleporting just like he had previously done.
"Sorry about my tardiness," said Melinda who had just appeared in front of Aiden or the Reaper in this case. "You must be wondering why you're here right?"
Aiden hearing that only nodded, thinking that this was it. He was going to die if he even made one bad gesture.
He was doomed.
