The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

It was now time for Gus and James to prepare to fight against an orc, but they seemed stressed about what could happen. That's why they decided to talk to Aiden a bit to see if he would change his mind.

"Humm... Aiden, I know what we did to you at the start wasn't smart of us. But please reconsider, I specialize in tanking fighting against an orc by myself is impossible, that's why I didn't kill many beasts, it's not what I do. I know you can't relate since you don't have class, but we're different from you, please," said Gus, pleading to Aiden to reconsider the proposal.

"I agree with what Gus said, I too am an assassin, a new one. Is it possible for me and that dwarf to fight against an orc together, it would give us a better chance for us to survive, and then we could help you. What do you say?" said James, trying to let Aiden fight the orc in a team of two.

Realizing that his demands weren't adapted to his teammates' classes, Aiden thought about whether or not to accept, but one thing was sure if they weren't able to do so then they would have to hunt alone without the help of Ava or Aiden.

The two men were looking at Aiden with eyes full of fear because of his choice, which would determine their fate.

"Sure, I accept let's see if you guys will be of any use," answered Aiden, still having his arms interlocked with Ava desperately trying to gain the attention of Aiden.

"Beware that if you guys are in danger and are close to dying I will not intervene, you will simply have to do the first trial once again."

Now being able to fight an orc as a team, Gus and James decided to go and try to spot one who was alone.

After a few minutes of trying to find one, they finally did and he was not even moving, or even paying attention to his surroundings, it was the perfect one.

Going up to the orc, they were not as discreet as Aiden. The dwarf was making a lot of noise because of his armor, which made some metal sounds while moving. This sound caused the orc to turn around and see the dwarf.

It seemed that the assassin wasn't there with him, maybe that was part of the strategy that they had decided beforehand.

James was actually right behind the orc, it seemed he had used some type of movement to not be noticed by the orc which was used often by assassins on Earth.

The movements of James were all seen by Aiden since he was used to seeing those types of moves and he wasn't that good at them, he seemed to be relying on an active skill to move without making a sound which wasn't the case Aiden who had his footwork imprinted in him for a long time.

James had the dagger which he had brought from Nova, but it was known that on the first trial, you could only bring weapons and equipment that weren't ranked by the system. That meant that the weapon he had brought wasn't great but was probably only as good as the dull knife Aiden used at the start of the trial.

He charged an attack with his attack wanting to slice the neck of the orc in a single try, and it worked because the orc had no idea of the assassin's presence and was only concentrating on the dwarf who was blocking the attacks he was making.

A couple of seconds later, the orc disappeared which caused James and Gus to receive messages from the system about what they had just achieved.

"I leveled up, finally!" exclaimed Gus, it seemed he hadn't received less experience because he was always tanking the monsters.

It seemed the system still counted his participation in the elimination of the monster which was a good thing or else getting the monster stolen from people could happen often.

Coming out of the hidden building, Aiden was pleasantly surprised to see the skill which the both of them had and he thought that they could probably be useful later when they would have to fight against the boss monster.

When the fight was going on, Ava was trying to get some information out of Aiden to see who he was and how he was so strong.

Using her features, she approached him once again looking him in the eyes, in a way that made Aiden difficult to refuse her. Her biggest features were starting to bounce and touch the arm of Aiden which caused him to become red since it was the first time in his life he had felt that.

"Aiden... did you lie to us at the start, do you really have no class?" said Ava, as she was touching the muscles on the body of Aiden.

"Hmm, yeah it's true I don't have any class and could you please stop touching me? It's annoying," said Aiden, starting to annoyed with her behavior, it seemed that she was used to getting what she wanted and it started to piss off Aiden.

"Then, how are you so strong? What family are you part of?"

Aiden remembered what he saw on his status panel, and told her the last name that was written there. He knew he was from an important family but it probably wasn't that big of a deal revealing it to others since he wasn't part of it anymore.

"The Nightshade... seriously, I knew you weren't normal. It's finally starting to make sense," mumbled Ava, making Aiden not hear what she had just said.

After asking that question, Ava became completely silent not trying to approach Aiden anymore it seemed the name he had just pronounced just caused fear to appear inside her heart and every time he asked a question she seemed to answer with the best of her abilities.

Aiden noticed this change but didn't think much of it.
