When people heard someone shout the name ‘Aiden’, everyone turned around and came to watch what was happening over the Parkour Challenge.

Even Emma seemed to have some sort of shock on her face as she also stared at the man who was approaching the starting line.

She quickly started going down as she started to shout toward Aiden.

“Wait, don’t start yet.”

But Aiden didn’t give her any attention as he started to get ready to proceed with the challenge.

His face became devoid of any emotions as he wanted to concentrate as much as possible on the task ahead of him.

As he prepared himself, his stats were restricted but he didn’t mind it.

He also saw the chronometer created by the system which was on the top right of his vision.

He quickly verified that everything was fine, then he directly started running as fast as he could.

His goal this time was still to beat the first ranked, but it was different from last time. The best time was already him.

He needed to prove to himself that he had indeed improved.

Emma finally arrived close to starting line but noticed that he had already started the trial which pissed her off.

Nobody had ever dared to disrespect her, she was the Matriarch’s daughter who would even dare to disrespect her.

But she didn’t say anything as she started watching the man who was supposedly the one who had beaten her record.

Emma still wasn’t sure if that man was actually the Aiden, but she still watched intrigued.

She had to say that his physique was quite pleasing to her eyes, he didn’t have an ounce of fat on him which showed the firm muscles on his body.

The view was in fact pleasing but that wasn’t what truly interested her. His movement techniques were the thing that she looked at in detail.

As she kept looking at his feet, she just couldn’t understand how they were able to move at such a pace even when his stats were restricted.

She just couldn’t believe her eyes. 

The fact that her eyes had difficulty following his movements meant one thing and one thing only, the person she was watching really is the one who beat her.

Realizing this, she concentrated even trying to see the methods he had used to beat her.

The first change she noticed was that on the second platform, the one where the floor would fall when stepping on it, he didn’t know the best path like her. 

He would simply jump when he felt the floor under him open, but this scene was unbelievable.

How could someone even do something like this?

This was the first change between them, then he jumped on the third platform, the one with lava and rocks, but this time he did the same as her.

He then arrived at the fourth platform which required to jump on the walls on each side since there was no platform under him.

However, what he had just done completely shocked her.

He didn’t jump in between the walls, he was simply running on a wall almost falling on the ground at any moment.

But, the important thing to note was that he didn’t.

He had succeeded, he had passed the fourth platform simply by running on the wall. 

Emma realized that if she was able to do such a thing, then she would be able to gain time.

However, there was a problem, she had no idea how to do such a thing. It simply looked impossible.

But then, he jumped toward the last platform, the most difficult.

It was the platform on which projectiles would be thrown at the person at an impossible speed.

As she looked at Aiden, she noticed that some sort of red energy seemed to come off his body.

It seemed like he had activated [Mind of an Assassin], but Emma had no idea about this skill of his as she didn’t understand what was happening to him.

But then, a shout could be heard from the public watching Aiden.

“He’s using it again! The red aura.”

Many shouts could be heard around as they seemed excited to see him use this aura once again.

Emma didn’t understand what was happening at all what was happening, but she didn’t mind it. 

She was simply mesmerized by the skill of this person.

She couldn’t wait to go talk to him, she wanted to know more about the person which her mother had brought over here.

After all, being the daughter of the Matriarch, she knew about Aiden and how her mother had met him.

·ƈθm She knew that he came from the Slums and she wanted to know how he had such good movement.

She just couldn’t understand.

Seconds went by and Aiden was finally at the end of the Challenge.

And the time shown was [1:19], he had upgraded his time by three seconds and this was only his second try on this challenge.

‘Who knows how many tries it took to reduce my time by that much.’

Three seconds might seem small but it was actually quite massive, it meant that he had gained three seconds with small details.

Aiden was now at the finish line.

He was happy with the time he had just achieved but he didn’t focus on it.

He started looking down and he could see all the people who had watched him but his eyes quickly found the person he wanted to talk to.

After all, what the two guys had said earlier interested him.

She was supposed to be the most talented here, how couldn’t he be interested in knowing her more.

He quickly jumped down from the platform and started approaching her.

The looks he was giving her were quite intense but she didn’t mind it.

She wasn’t looking at his physique, but simply admiring the speed at which he had completed this challenge.

“So, are you the famous Emma Everheart?” asked Aiden who kept looking at her blue eyes.
