Chapter 238 238 - Shadow Steps

'Jump over that thing?' thought Aiden, unsure if that was even possible in the first place.

He knew that it would be extremely difficult, however, he quickly grasped the goal of that challenge.

He knew that the key to jumping such a big distance was quite simple, it was speed.

And from what he had seen earlier, the goal of this challenge was quite simple, it was to get faster.

From catching his instructor earlier, Aiden had no doubt that if he was able to learn whatever method this man was using, it would make him much stronger.

In fact, just thinking about it, he couldn't see anyone being able to hit him if he were to combine both of those techniques.

"Oh I like that look on your face," said the man, as he noticed that Aiden didn't seem scared or worried about not being able to do it.

He noticed that Aiden was instead thinking about ways to reach the other side of that one-kilometre-long crevice.

"Since you wouldn't be able to do it without me showing you a thing or two, I will give an example on how such a thing is possible," said the man as he instantly disappeared from Aiden's view.

'Just how fast is this man? He clearly didn't go at his top speed earlier,' thought Aiden as he hadn't even been able to guess which way that man had gone.

'I guess that's the difference between a literal child and an adult,' thought Aiden as he knew there was clearly a couple of years between them.

However, Aiden wasn't the type to judge or base his strength on the age of someone since younger people could more often than not be more powerful than other people.

But, it was clear that this person was extremely strong, well from his speed alone as Aiden had no idea about his other strengths.

"I'm over here," shouted the man who was now hundreds of metres away from Aiden.

He wanted to make sure that Aiden would be able to see him which is why he had shouted from so far away.

Then, when he saw that the masked Aiden had turned his head toward him, he immediately disappeared from Aiden's vision once again.

However, when Aiden made sure to pay attention he noticed that some blur was on his way toward him.

Well, not toward him but right beside him as his goal wasn't to hurt the Reaper in any sort of way.

His goal was to make that jump successful, or else he would be looking like a real amateur which is why he was extremely serious in his run, making sure to use great speed.

It wasn't his top speed since Aiden needed to be able to actually glimpse at some of his movements, but it was a speed which was comfortable for him.

Then, as the blur started approaching the edge of the mountain where they were standing, it disappeared and reappeared a couple of seconds later in the air.

It seemed that he had jumped, but Aiden hadn't even been able to see how he had done so since he had simply disappeared from his vision.

'Just how does he move so fast, what's the trick here?' thought Aiden, as he knew that he would have to figure it out if he wanted to reach the fourth challenge.

Then, the blur which was obviously the instructor continued moving forward as he was about to reach the other side of the crevice.

'I guess it is possible, huh?' thought Aiden, as he saw that the instructor had, in fact, landed on the other side of the crevice.

*Swoosh*

Then, as Aiden saw that he had landed on the other side, he heard a similar noise as earlier.

"How did you like that performance?" asked the man who was now once again right beside Aiden in less than a single second.

Aiden who was a little shocked, had no choice but to make it known.

"How fast can you even go?" asked Aiden, as this was the thing which he had on his mind since earlier and when he saw the speed at which he had come back, Aiden had on choice but to ask since it was extremely impressive.

However, when asked that question the man seemed hesitant to answer.

"Um, well too fast to keep up with me clearly," he replied a little bit arrogantly.

"We'll see about that," mumbled Aiden, with a serious look on his face.

"What did you say?" asked the man, unsure of what Aiden had just mumbled.

However, seeing that Aiden didn't want to say, he simply dismissed it as he went on to talk about something else.

"Do you want a tip to move fast? Never mind, I'll show you what you need to do to move fast, well I'll show you the basics," said the man as he knew that it would be really hard for Aiden without a single bit of help.

The man knew that Aiden was completing the challenges really fast, but that wasn't really a problem in itself since it was just proving how strong that young man in front of him was.

When Aiden heard that the man in front of him would show him the basics of his movement technique, he had to admit that he was really happy as he revealed a smile.

Then, after doing so, he focused on the man in front of him who was about to start showing him how this movement worked.

"First of all, it's all in the footwork, but that doesn't seem to be a problem with you since I can't even hear you walking," said the man, realizing that it was quite weird that no matter how much he tried, there was not a single sound coming from Aiden's movement or stepping.

"Wait, how are you walking like that?" asked the man, who seemed extremely curious about [Shadow Steps].

Hearing that question, an idea popped inside Aiden's mind.
