Chapter 80 The Family Technique [Part 2]
?
'So, a technique is really that strong,' thought Aiden falling into his thoughts not caring about his surrounding.
'But it doesn't fit me at all, it looks like a bow is needed to use it, I'll need to see how it works as I still don't know if I can make use of it,' he thought not sure if he wanted to learn how to use another weapon.
He was after all used to the dagger and had a lot of experience, but if he came to getting stronger by learning how to use a bow then he would absolutely do it.
He knew that the way to be respected and not betrayed was to be the strongest.
Because the strongest person or most influential person in the world is always the one who determines the rules of the world.
That's what he wanted to aim for, he wanted to be strongest determining how others lived under his rule.
"And for this technique of yours, is a bow needed for it?" he asked wanting to make sure that his assumptions were correct.
"Well, yes, or any long-range weapon but the bow is probably the best one you can choose."
'So without a bow, I wouldn't be able to use that kind of technique at all,' he thought realizing that maybe joining this family wasn't that great of an idea.
He now understood how strong and essential the techniques that families had were.
At the Inter-Family Tournament, it was almost sure that everyone participating would have access to one since the participants were usually nurtured from a young age.
If Aiden was the only one without access to one then he would surely have problems competing against others.
He also knew that he would be one of the people who would be determined the weakest if they based it on stats alone.
He had, after all, only completed two trials, making him level 14.
But those who had awakened since they were young clearly had the advantage.
'Should I learn the bow? Is that really my only choice to have a better shot at the tournament?' he thought, having no other choice if he wanted to have a technique for the tournament that was a month from now.
'Emma did say that he took her years to learn,' he thought unsure if he was going to pull it off.
Then, he looked up in front of him and saw the face of Emma right in front of him.
"Woah, you really were focused, what are you even thinking about?" she asked seeing that since earlier he had been complete except when he asked that question.
She was so close that her boobs touched Aiden's body a little bit.
But when she saw that he started moving she quickly backed off from him not wanting him to notice.
Aiden did notice but he didn't mind as he was about to request something to Emma.
"Umm, Emma."
"Yes... Aiden?" she asked unsure of what was going on.
"I know that you won the fight and all, but let's say that I asked something out of you would you be fine with it?" he asked before quickly adding. "and let's say that this something would be beneficial for both of us."
"What is it?" she asked curious that Aiden was this serious about something.
"What do you say that you teach me how to use a bow and that I teach you how to use a dagger better?" he asked looking carefully at her, noting all of her reactions.
She was clearly surprised but she quickly her calm. "So you want my help, huh?" she said smiling that Aiden was depending on her.
This request once again proved that she was the best and the most talented.
"Sure, but for me to accept you will need to say something," she said, smiling even more.
"Why? It benefits both of us, shouldn't you just agree," said Aiden not sure what she would be asking him of him.
"Don't worry, I'll accept your offer if you say those exact words," she said giggling a little. "Emma Everheart is the best and I will never surpass her."
'She only wants me to say this, but why?' Aiden thought not understanding why she would go to such lengths to feel like she was the best.
'Does she want acceptance that much? Guess it doesn't really matter I'll just say it and be done with it,' he thought not understanding how someone would reach that need of acceptance.
"Sure, I'll say it if that's what it takes," he said noticing that Emma was giggling as she watched him do as she said.
Her behavior from before the fight was gone and replaced by a more casual and happy Emma who lost all seriousness around her.
"Emma Everheart is the best and I will never surpass her."
"Ahaha, you really said it, so how does it feel to be weaker than me," she said getting closer to Aiden without even realizing it.
"Well, if I'm being honest, I don't really care that much about it, it's just words. My future actions will simply prove that I'm better than you."
"You're no fun why can't you be sad over losing against me," said Emma realizing that he didn't mind what he had asked of him at all.
She found it weird because it seemed like Aiden didn't have any type of an ego which was clearly different from the other young awakened that she had met before him.
Those talented people always thought of themselves as the best there were. They also all had an extremely big ego over their head.
If one of them would have been asked to say such a thing, they would probably have refused, but Aiden didn't even hesitate as if all of this didn't even matter and was only in his way.
"You're a weird one Aiden," she said, noticing all the differences he had from the other people she had met before.
