The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

After they got through the Fort and left the horses behind, it was time for Mia and Aiden to walk until they arrived at the Upsilon Empire.

Aiden wasn't motivated at all but he had no choice. So, they started walking but they didn't go on the nice path which was clean and easy to follow.

They decided to walk close to the path but in the forest so that no one would spot them which was the point of why Aiden was having someone with him.

She needed to show him the path to enter discreetly which was why Aiden had hired a guide.

"Alright since we won't be on the main path anymore we'll have to be on the lookout for monsters," Mia said.

"Yeah, we don't want a repeat of last night, haha!" Aiden said as he laughed at the end.

After saying that, they started walking in the direction of the Upsilon Empire.

This time they didn't talk all that much as they had already talked about anything they could find.

After all, it had been one day since they had been spending all day with each other.

Suddenly, they were both walking silently which for Aiden was as easy as breathing. They heard big stomps close to them.

Boom

Boom

Boom

He could feel vibrations in the ground every time the stomps were being made. It was difficult for both Mia and Aiden to keep their balance.

"What is happening?" Aiden asked as he tried his best not to fall on the ground.

"I-I think it's a minotaur," Mia said, who was scared just by hearing the sound of those steps on the ground.

Aiden who didn't know what a minotaur was... didn't understand why Mia was trembling out of pure fear.

"We-we should hide quickly, even you won't be able to kill such a thing. I'm telling you... it's terrifying," she said, as she started trembling once again it seemed she didn't have good memories of the Minotaur.

"Is it really that dangerous?" He asked as he went to hide behind a tree with Mia on his lap.

"Y-Yes, you don't understand how strong it is... m-my friends once tried to fight one, and..." Mia said as she didn't have the strength to finish her words as she started crying.

Aiden didn't quite understand what was happening why did she start crying in his arms, what did he need to do?

After all, he never had any contact with a woman in his entire life, and he was even oblivious to how others projected their emotions being raised as an assassin.

The only emotion that Aiden knew how to emit was anger because of the betrayal of his master.

Aiden, who had no idea of what to do, decided to give small awkward pats on her head.

"It's gonna be alright, don't worry," Aiden said, trying to comfort her.

'What is happening?' thought Mia, not understanding why he was giving her a pat on her head as if she were an animal, but she kept crying in his arms without saying a single word. As weird as it was, it made her feel good.

"T-thank you," Mia said, as she started calming down. Her heart rate which had been beating scared her to relax from the touch of Aiden. Her tears which had been coming out of her eyes also stopped from the simplest touch of Aiden.

'What is happening to me? Is he able to control my emotions? Why am I so calm when he touches me?' She thought, not understanding why she liked Aiden touching her so much.

Aiden, on the other hand, was confused when he saw messages appear in from of him, the system was once again sending him messages.

[You have created a skill.]

'Again?! What the hell did I do?' Aiden thought, not sure how this happened.

[You have created the skill <Gentle Touch>.]

[Gentle Touch]

[Rank: Blue(Unique)]

[Description: A skill created by a person who doesn't know how to deal with emotions. Because of his indifference toward others when they show emotions, he has developed a touch capable of calming down others instantly not wanting to deal with them.]

[Cost: 0 MP]

[No Cooldown]

'What the hell is that skill?' He thought as he read the description not comprehending how he had created it.

He knew that he wasn't the best when it came to dealing with emotions but he didn't think that it would be so bad that even the system would offer him the skill to deal with others.

'It's even Blue Ranked?!' Aiden wondered, completely shocked when he saw that. After all, the skills he had currently were all of Green Ranked.

Wanting to test the skill, Aiden continued patting her head but this time with the skill in use. The effects were instant, Mia stopped crying and her melons which were going up and down slowly got under a normal rhythm. It seemed like she really was calming down instantly.

One or two minutes later, the stomps on the ground started decreasing, it seemed like the minotaur had gotten away. He probably got bored when he didn't find what he was looking for.

Mia got off Aiden's lap when she stopped hearing the Minotaur and his stomps. Then, she looked him in the eyes not knowing what just happened.

"How did you do that?"

"Did what?"

"You know, when you started to pat me on the head," Mia said not talking about the part where she liked it and regaining her composure because of it.

"Hmm, I just didn't know what to do when you started crying and all so I just... I don't know," Aiden said, unsure if there was a problem with what he did.

"It's fine you don't need to explain yourself, it's not that I disliked it or anything. It even helped me," Mia said, as she played with her thumbs blushing a little bit.

"Did it?" Aiden asked acting like he didn't know why it would do such a thing.

"Yeah, I don't why... I'm not usually that comfortable around strangers but you... you're different."

"Uh...thanks?" Aiden responded not knowing how to respond to that since it was the skill's fault that she had suddenly calmed down.
