"What did you do to me?" Evelynn asked in an extremely plain voice.

There was not an ounce of emotion contained in her voice which surprised both Aiden and Anna.

The reason it surprised Aiden was simple, usually the effects of that skill were temporary as people would most of the time be extremely angry at him only a few seconds after he had used it.

But for some reason, that wasn't the case here as Evelynn was getting her emotions back, keeping a plain face.

Anna seemed extremely impressed as her eyes were wide open. "How are you doing this? Can you teach me?"

Those questions came out of her mouth without her even meaning to say them out loud. It was just so important.

"Uh… I can't teach you, this is a secret technique, but still, it should give you an idea as to why your personality changes once in a while," Aiden said as he slowly removed his hand from Evelynn's head as he didn't like seeing her being like that.

She had looked… lifeless.

"Right, yeah it's clearly related to emotions… Maybe I could create a potion to remove all emotions from my body for a period of time?" Anna uttered out loud.

She seemed to have found a great idea as she immediately started going through her notes.

She had a big smile on her face while doing that.

Anna was clearly happy that she had figured out a way to fix herself.

"Thank you!" Anna said as she started advancing toward the cauldron. "Here, take this!"

As she shouted that she handed him ten vials containing the potion's content.

Aiden was happy seeing that as he would be able to bring some back to Nova, and he knew that it would be useful since most of the system skills used Mana, this meant that Aiden would have a big advantage over others.

He would be able to give this potion to Sylas and it would increase his chances of winning against him. Aiden was truly happy, this whole thing wouldn't only be useful for the assassination.

"Alright, we'll be going now," Aiden said as he kept Evelynn close to him. She was now hugging Aiden over his shoulders with his legs around his waist.

Aiden didn't mind it as he had decided that he would be bringing her back to her dorm. 

"Are you okay?" Aiden asked as Evelynn regained some color on her face.

"Hmm," she answered not even opening her mouth. Her head was currently on Aiden's shoulder and she made sure to be looking at Aiden's face which was extremely focused on something for some reason.

She took her head off his shoulder and she grabbed his head with both hands. "Thank you for coming back."

She made sure that he was looking back into her eyes as she slowly got closer to his face, closing her eyes.

Evelynn had just tried kissing him for some reason. Maybe it was her way of thanking Aiden. However, Aiden wasn't a mannequin, he was able to move his head backward.

"What are you doing?" Evelynn asked as she felt tension from Aiden's neck.

She had also moved her head forward, not meeting anything back.

"The question is what are you doing?" Aiden asked as he had to admit that he was surprised that Evelynn had tried to kiss him out of nowhere.

Ever since he had met her she hadn't shown any appreciation toward him. So, he had to admit that he was quite surprised by the attempt at kissing him.

He had never seen it coming at all, she didn't seem the type to be doing such things either way.

"Uh…" Evelynn made a sound as she became extremely red. "I wasn't doing anything…"

Aiden grabbed her face by the chin as he wanted to make sure that she would be looking his way.

"Look, I don't mind it but at least ask me about it," Aiden said, showing no anger whatsoever.

After all, a girl had just tried to kiss him, so why would he feel mad about it? It was a great feeling.

A few minutes later, both Aiden and Evelynn were completely silent as Evelynn was still in

Aiden's arms looking in those red eyes of his.

'So beautiful,' she thought liking how special those eyes were looking. It was truly nice to look at.

"We arrived," Aiden exclaimed as he tried to push her off his body since he wouldn't be going inside with her.

Today was the day that he would be killing the director of the academy, so he couldn't get his mind off it.

Aiden struggled to push her off as she was tightly grabbing onto him, but he managed to do it after a minute or so.

"Oh and Evelynn before you leave, thank you for everything," Aiden admitted as he knew that the creation of the potion would have been much longer without her.

Evelynn turned around from the door as she looked at him for one last time. "Why are you talking like we will never see each other again?"

She was wondering why he was being so dramatic out of nowhere, why was he telling her final goodbyes as if he would be dying?

"Oh, don't worry about it. See you soon," Aiden said as he turned around. He knew that he couldn't tell her about his trial or the system, so he didn't even bother explaining it to her.

"Aiden, wait!" Evelynn shouted, probably waking up a couple of people in the dorms nearby. However, that thought didn't even enter Evelynn's mind.

"What is it?" Aiden replied as he looked back for one last time, seeing that Evelynn was currently running in his direction jumping in his arms.

She breathed heavily as she was now in Aiden's arms. "Can I kiss you now?"

Aiden didn't say anything only looking at her, wondering what she would be doing next. And that's when it happened, she closed her eyes slowly moving her head toward his.

They had finally done it, they had kissed. It was a nice goodbye kiss.

The two moved back from one another as Aiden looked at her in the eyes as he wanted to warn her about something.

"Whatever you hear about me tomorrow… don't believe it no matter what, there's always a reason for everything, okay?"

Evelynn was confused but she nodded, trusting Aiden.
