The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

[Learn the skill <Phantom Parry> ?]

Hearing the question from the system, Aiden immediately responded yes, wanting to see what was going to happen.

Maelis was, also, watching the situation unfold with interest, wanting to know if he was going to be able to learn that skill or not.

"Yes, I want to learn <Phantom Parry>"

*Beep*

[Error detected: User does not have permission to learn the skill.]

It didn't continue putting errors, it quickly stopped unlike last time when it continued for a while, it seemed like he couldn't learn any type of skill.

"I don't think, it's working, I got an error message."

"Can't you try again to make sure it isn't working?"

The face of Maelis was one that showed disappointment because he wasn't able to learn all types of skills which could have revolutionized the world they were living in but she still had some hope that he would be able to learn it if he tried again.

'If only it worked, we could have become a high-tier family with the strength he would have developed,' thought Maelis.

Aiden was, also, disappointed but not as much as Maelis because he didn't understand the importance of being able to learn skills from different classes. He didn't think much of it because ever since he had arrived he hadn't depended that much on skills in general and much more on his experience in fighting as an assassin.

However, deciding to listen to Maelis he tried once again to learn the skill book.

[Learn the skill <Phantom Parry> ?]

"Yes, I want to learn <Phantom Parry>"

[Error detected: User does not currently have permission to learn the skill.]

Seeing the error message, it seemed that the situation was once again repeated with no success.

"It's not working, it's showing the same error message from earlier," said Aiden.

But taking a closer look at the error message he saw that a word had been added, he didn't currently have permission to learn the skill.

"Wa-wait, a word changed it says that I don't currently have permission to learn the skill. I might be able to earn permission from the system," exclaimed Aiden, happy with himself that he had read the error message and not simply glanced over it.

"Doesn't that mean, you'll be able to have access to learning the skill at some point?" questioned Maelis, who was as clueless as Aiden since it was the first time she was experiencing this type of stuff.

"I'll ask the system, what I have to do, just a second."

"System, what do I have to do to be able to learn [Phantom Parry]?" asked Aiden, opening his ears as wide as possible to not lose a single detail coming out of the system.

[To be able to learn [Phantom Parry] or any other type of skill that is related to the Assassin class, you will have to complete the second trial alone and kill the boss monster alone. Know that completing a trial and killing the boss monster alone has never been done before and is extremely hard.]

"What do you mean by alone, aren't we always a team when facing trials?" asked Aiden to the system.

[Normally, that is the case but since your situation is different from others we have given you the opportunity to face the second trial by yourself. The reward for doing so is to gain access to learning Assassin class skills.]

[Do you accept?]

"What is it saying?" asked Maelis, wanting to know more as she couldn't hear what the system was telling Aiden.

"It says that I can gain access to Assassins class skills by completing the second trial alone."

"Completing the second trial alone? But that's impossible."

"Not only the trial it also wants me to kill the boss monster of the trial."

"That's even more impossible, I don't what the system is thinking. You don't need to accept it we'll find another way for you to have skills. I'll try to find the best skills without any restrictions once you join the family, don't worry. Seeing your talent in the parkour challenge, I don't think you will need to depend on skills that much," said Maelis, not even thinking about the possibility of Aiden accepting the offer.

However, the next words that came out of the mouth of Aiden weren't the ones she was expecting.

"I accept to do the second trial alone," said Aiden, completely ignoring the words that came out of Maelis's mouth.

"Wh-what are you doing, if you die in the second trial you will lose all your skills and you will lose the levels you got on the first trial," said Maelis, trying to convince Aiden to not accept the proposition but it looked like it was too late to do so.

A message from the system appeared.

[You will be summoned by yourself to the Otherworld in 5 minutes.]

It seemed like the system had reduced the time before his summoning to five minutes, not giving a lot of time to Aiden.

"It's fine, don't worry I'm sure I'll be able to do it, after all, I experienced far worse," said Aiden, murmuring the last words which were not heard by Maelis.

"You're saying that because you didn't experience the second trial like me. It's not as simple as the first one, it's not about defending a city or killing monsters. The task given is much harder and extremely hard especially if you are alone, you will incarnate a new person and will have a new role that you will need to accomplish."

"It doesn't matter, I'm sure I'll be able to do it, as it already happened to me."

"Even if I don't know much I know, you'll have a lot of trouble beating alone even if you are really strong."

"Well, it doesn't matter what you think, I'm going to be summoned in a couple of seconds. Let's talk about the condition of me joining your family when I get back," said Aiden as he started disappearing in particles.

"Let's hope you don't die over there I guess," said Maelis after Aiden had completely disappeared from her eyes, hoping that he would not lose the skills and levels he had gotten in the first trial.
