The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 220 Chapter 220 - Wasted Skill Slot

"Isolde, you can come back in," said Melinda as she looked at the door, waiting for it to be opened.

Then, as she walked in, Aiden started feeling somewhat nervous since he would be showing his face.

'Should I really do it?' thought Aiden, with a final hesitation.

Was it worth it to show her his face and at the same take more risks regarding his identity?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought that in the future he would have to show his face to more people, so why not start now?

He couldn't hide for the rest of his life, after all.

'Well, I'll just do it,' thought Aiden, ending this dilemma that was currently happening inside his mind.

He had already wasted enough time thinking of those things.

"He will show his face to you," said Melinda, as she showed Aiden right behind her.

Isolde hearing this was a little shocked, as she didn't think that she was close enough to him for that.

She knew that he must be valuing his privacy since he had even hidden his face in the Inter Family Tournament, a place where fame was pretty much guaranteed if you went far enough.

"You don't have to if you don't want to," said Isolde, before Aiden had even attempted to remove it.

However, Aiden's response surprised her.

"I'm doing this for me, so stop saying those things, they are only making me doubt myself," answered Aiden as he didn't want to go back into that dilemma now that he had made a choice.

Hearing that, Isolde nodded not saying another word, simply looking at the Reaper's mask, waiting for it to be removed from his face.

'I wonder what he looks like?' thought Isolde, as she slowly observed Aiden's body, which was pretty well built since he had made all those challenges.

In fact, his body really had changed a lot since the time he had arrived in this world, it was honestly quite impressive to see some massive changes in such a short amount of time.

Sure, the system played a big role in that, but it didn't remove any accomplishments that he had really gotten that much stronger in such a short time.

After all, pretty much everyone in this world had access to that system, well most.

'He must be good-looking with a body like that,' thought Isolde, as she slowly started to look at his face.

Then, Aiden slowly but surely removed his [Everchanging Item] from his face, revealing his lips, his nose, his eyes, and then, his hair.

Isolde was pretty surprised by his appearance as she knew that he would be good-looking, but his face seemed gentle which wasn't what she had expected, especially after that fight against him.

He even seemed friendly from a first glance which was completely from the dark aura that he had released during the tournament.

"Aiden, nice to meet you," he uttered, putting his hand forward, waiting for her to shake it.

"Oh, nice to meet and thank you for trusting me with how you look," replied Isolde, coming out of her daze.

Aiden had noticed that she was looking at him quite intensively, but he didn't mention simply that it was normal since it was the first time that she had seen his face.

"Um, no problem."

"Alright, now that you both know what you look like, what do you say that we start your training?" said Melinda, excitedly.

'My training? When did I ask to train with her?' thought Aiden, not sure where this was coming from at all.

Seeing Aiden's face, Melinda could only laugh.

"Come on, you didn't think that I would be making you stay in the same room for no reason. You'll be training with me and Isolde, well... if she agrees since it wasn't to be like this in the first place," said Melinda, as she knew that the training of Isolde was supposed to be completely private.

"No, I think that it will be better this way since it would give me a sparring partner, even if he is a scary one," said Isolde, not finding any problems with Aiden training with them.

However, the one who had a problem with this whole thing was Aiden as he simply couldn't think of what Melinda would be showing him.

He was an assassin, not an enchantress like her.

'Well, I guess I won't be able to use that System Function just yet,' thought Aiden, a little frustrated by this whole thing.

'I'll try to make her change her mind, but it doesn't seem to be an easy task at all. She even tricked me by putting me in the same room as her,' thought Aiden, as he remembered the arguments of Melinda and at no point in time did she mention training.

She really was sneaky when she wanted to be, Aiden would have to be careful around her, that's for sure.

"What are you even going to show me?" asked Aiden, wanting to see what her reaction would be.

Melinda had already noticed that Aiden didn't want to train with them, but she would make sure that he wouldn't have the choice to do so.

"I'll show you one of my techniques. A technique that depends on Charm that will help you greatly, I'm sure of that," said Melinda, clearly not wanting to reveal too much of it.

However, Aiden wasn't duped, he wouldn't agree simply because of that. He needed to know what that technique was beforehand.

"What is it? If I'm interested in it, then I might agree to do that training of yours."

Melinda ousted a short laugh, as she became serious once again.

"Didn't you already agree? Well, no matter, it's a technique to change your appearance. But, not just your face, your entire body," said Melinda, knowing quite well that Aiden wouldn't hesitate to grasp such an opportunity.

She thought that Aiden would be very happy to learn this technique, but he seemed mad over something.
