The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 239 239 - Trade

'What if I made a trade with him?' thought Aiden, seeing that the man was quite interested in Aiden's movement technique.

That situation was literally perfect since Aiden was also incredibly interested in the other person's movement technique.

Then, hearing that question about his movement technique, Aiden took a few seconds to think about what to say.

'Should I simply ask him to make a trade?' thought Aiden, as he knew that it would be the simplest thing to do in this scenario.

Realizing that it was the easiest thing to do, Aiden simply asked that man to make a trade and on the same occasion facilitate the challenge which was in front of him.

Because if Aiden was taught how to use that movement technique then the challenge difficulty would literally drop instantly.

That was the thing which Aiden was currently worrying about the most, the man refusing because of the challenge and its difficulty.

However, there was no harm in trying, right?

"Instead of me telling you how I move that way, tell me how YOU move that way," uttered Aiden, putting emphasis on the word "you".

'He's clever, huh? Not revealing any information without something in return,' thought the man, realizing that he wouldn't be able to obtain information that way and that he would actually need to exchange something in return.

However, thinking about it for a few seconds, he had to admit that it was incredibly worth it because he had never seen something like this.

He had never seen someone who literally couldn't make the slightest noise while moving, everyone needed to make a noise while moving at some point.

Nonetheless, ever since the Reaper had appeared here and met the instructor. The instructor hadn't been able to hear even the slightest noise coming out of him.

"Alright, how do you want to proceed?" asked the man, ready for pretty much everything if it meant obtaining some hint about this technique.

After all, that man had been asked to create a challenge at the last minute by Melinda and he wasn't really excited for it as he was simply following orders.

So, if he could make this challenge shorter and on the same occasion obtain something out of it then the man would literally be on cloud nine.

And it also wouldn't be a trade where the Reaper wouldn't be a winner since he would also obtain something really valuable on the same occasion.

'How I want to proceed, huh?' thought Aiden, already having a pretty good idea of how he wanted things to go down.

However, the was a little problem, he wasn't sure how the instructor would react this his demand, but seeing the smile on the instructor's face, Aiden doubted that there would be a problem.

"Then, how about this, you'll teach me your movement technique and I'll teach you mine," said Aiden, a little bit anxious, knowing that he wouldn't be able to argue if that man were to refuse.

It wasn't like he could force him to accept, after all.

However, seeing the growing smile on the instructor's face, Aiden was now pretty much assured that he would be accepting his request.

"Sure, let's do this," said the man after a couple of seconds of silence.

[Five days later]

"Why isn't this working, did he even teach me the real movement technique," mumbled Aiden, frustrated over his past failed attempts.

He now realized that if he hadn't made an exchange with the instructor, then he would have been stuck here for a much longer time as even with the instructor personally teaching him he was having a lot of difficulties.

"Stop getting all frustrated, I already told you that you need a clear mind for this to work," said Paul, the instructor of the third challenge.

What he had just said hadn't been a coincidence since he knew what the Reaper had done in the second challenge to get here.

The challenges weren't in a random order, after all, every single one of them would be helping the participants to accomplish the next one.

For example, in the last challenge, Aiden had learned to see through illusions, but was that the only thing that he had done?

No, he had also learned how to put his entire mind and body in a state of pure concentration.

A state, where he would be able to feel everything that was happening in his body. From the sounds of chains to his muscles moving, he could feel literally everything.

"I know, I know, stop repeating it to me," replied the frustrated Aiden.

"Alright, try again and remember how I told you to manifest your mana, that's the most important part," continued Paul.

"Alright," uttered Aiden as he seemed to concentrate back on this movement technique that he had been learning those past five days.

Aiden also knew that he had to make this whole thing fast since he would also have to teach that instructor after he had learned his technique.

That's why Aiden was, at the moment, feeling some amount of pressure regarding learning this technique.

He didn't want to spend too much time here after all.

'Alright, this time it will work,' thought Aiden, as he started to manifest his mana in his legs and feet in a particular manner.

Aiden didn't exactly know why he needed to circulate his mana that way, but he simply did it since Paul had said that he needed to do so and who was Aiden to complain when he had no idea how this technique worked in the first place.

Then, after manifesting his mana, he placed himself in a running position, preparing himself to run as fast as he physically could.

"Nice, now all you need to do is start running," exclaimed Paul, who had noticed that there was absolutely no problem with Aiden's posture and position.

Then after hearing that, Aiden didn't lose any more time as he started to run forward.

'Did it work this time?' thought Aiden as he saw that the environment around him was moving way too fast.

Then, as he was still wondering if this thing had worked or not, he heard a beeping sound.
