"Alright come here I'll show you a move of mine," said Aiden as Emma got closer to him.

"You wanted to see what would happen if you followed the exercise that I'm giving you right?"

Emma nodded and said, "Of course, I do."

"Then, come here I'll show you."

"Try to defend against this move of mine," said Aiden as he got his dagger into his hands preparing to strike down.

'Should I do one of my most classic moves?' he thought still debating what he wanted to show her.

Then he thought about all the moves he had once practiced and chose his most classic one.

His strike to the head of his opponent was a strike that had been countered less than five times in his entire life.

'Yeah, that should do it,' he thought as he started concentrating as if he really wanted to kill her.

His aura instantly changed to a cold one that was threatening even Emma instinctively started walking backward.

Aiden didn't notice it but he was even affecting his surroundings which were becoming darker and darker as if he was death in person.

He gripped his dagger even harder, preparing for his strike for real this time.

"You don't need to show me, I'm already convinced," said Emma as she had already seen enough to know that his methods were sure to be good.

As Emma said that the whole dark aura surrounding Aiden completely disappeared returning to his previous one.

He started acting as if nothing had happened at all.

'Just what type of past did you have to go through to have such a deadly aura around you at such an age,' thought Emma realizing that whatever she had gone through her young couldn't remotely compare to what he had gone through.

She had already noticed that he didn't like to show any emotions as if he didn't have any. 

His smile had only appeared once since the first time she had seen him.

Then, as she was about to continue the exercise that he had given her, sounds of people entering the training ground could be heard.

She quickly stopped whatever she was doing, and acted as she would usually do.

She completely ignored Aiden so people wouldn't notice him at all.

But she had forgotten a massive detail, she wasn't the only one known around here.

Right behind her wasn't an unknown person at the training ground.

His nickname wasn't for nothing after all.

"Look, Emma and The Legend of the Training Ground are training together," exclaimed one of the people who had just walked in.

Emma was furious when she heard that, did they really think that she was on the same level as him?

"We are not, he's currently learning from me, trying to get better at using the bow, isn't that right Aiden?" she said as she hit the stomach from the side discreetly.

"Y-yes, of course, I am the one that is learning from her," he said as he understood what she had meant.

He understood her much better when she used actions instead of words.

Words were after all, always full of hidden messages.

The crowd hearing Aiden didn't ask many questions not wanting to distract the two of them.

But then, as everyone had stopped watching Aiden approached Emma from behind her whispering. "Want to continue in our room?"

Emma obviously got scared as she didn't hear him getting close to her as his steps were always silent.

When she heard him ask that, she thought of a scene that she simply wanted to forget.

She hadn't realized instantly what Aiden was asking, so her mind went into all sorts of places.

A scene where Aiden was asking if she wanted to continue the deed inside their room.

"S-sure, let's go back and continue the training," she said out loud making sure everyone around heard what she had just said.

Back in their room, Emma once again started swinging her dagger not even complaining.

She had learned what would happen if she complained and she didn't want to relive that scene.

Unknowingly to her, she had become a little bit scared of how Aiden would react most of the time.

"I'll leave you here, continue swinging the dagger until your arms cannot even more anymore, I'm going back to the training ground," he said leaving her alone in her exercise.

He also wanted to practice in their room but he simply couldn't as many holes would be created all around the room.

He then left for the training ground and trained for the rest of the day noticing small ameliorations in his aim with the bow, but it still wasn't anything like the arrow he had shot with Emma's help.

That was his goal to shoot an arrow as precise as the one Emma shoots.

He wanted to recreate the noise that it had made at the time.

Then, he started going back to his room to get some rest.

But then, as he was about to reach it. A small sheet of paper started vibrating inside Aiden's pocket.

It was the [Mental Transmitor] that Maelis had given him. 

It seemed like she was calling him but why would she do so at such a time?

It was almost two in the morning, what important reason would she have to call him?

"Yes?" answered Aiden inserting his mana into the [Mental Transmitor].

"I learned from my daughter earlier that you started learning how to use a bow from her."

"Yes, I did she was really helpful, but is that why you're calling this late at night?" asked Aiden almost sure that there was something else that she wanted to talk about.

"Well, since you are learning the bow. I think it would be great if you got hold of our family technique as soon as possible," she said as she simply wanted to help him as much as she possibly could.

"Oh sure, I also wanted to talk to you about something," said Aiden thinking back to the start of the day when Emma and Aiden had finished sparring.
