The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 287 287 - Calming her down

"So, um, who are you and why am I here with you?" Mia asked as she looked around herself.

She knew that they were in a forest in the middle of nowhere and the most worrying part about all this was that she had no recollection of getting here and sleeping in the same tent as the man that was in front of him.

'Alright, first things first, I need to figure out if she's real or fake,' Aiden thought as he ignored her questions.

He knew that her knowing those answers wouldn't change anything about the problem that he was in and it wouldn't help him figure out an answer for it either.

Seeing that Aiden didn't seem to be paying any attention to her, Mia uttered, "Hello? Are you okay?"

She seemed quite impatient in knowing more about the person who had just saved her since this was the first time that she had seen him.

"Um, sorry about that," Aiden muttered realizing that he had been ignoring her for a couple of seconds already.

Then, as he was about to ask a question of his own, Aiden suddenly got a horrible thought.

'Why didn't I receive a message saying that I finished this level of the System's Evaluation?'

He knew that he should have gotten a message about it, however, he didn't have any at the moment which was worrying since there were no other enemies or monsters that he needed to beat.

'Wait... don't tell me that I'll have to kill her?' Aiden thought, unsure if that would actually be the case.

If it was, he would need to determine if she was the real Mia or the fake Mia as it would greatly influence his decision which is why he came to the question that he had in his mind earlier.

"Yeah, um, sorry I'm Aiden."

He wanted to at least tell her his name so that they wouldn't be strangers anymore.

"Oh, and to answer your other question I have no idea why I'm here with you. Where were you before waking up here?"

Aiden thought that this question would give him a good idea over his problem, however, it seemed that it wouldn't be the case seemed Mia's answer was useless.

"I-I... don't know. Wait, why can't I remember what I did before waking up here."

After realizing that there was something wrong with her she looked directly into Aiden's eyes as there was clear anger in her eyes.

"Is it your fault... Were you the one who did this to me?" She shouted as she got closer to Aiden grabbing him by the collar.

Seeing how Mia was being aggressive Aiden had to admit that he was quite surprised as he had never expected her to be acting in such a way.

Based on his memories, she had been really gentle with him no matter how much of a jerk he had been.

"I wasn't, I really don't know what happened," Aiden said as he saw that Mia slowly started releasing him from her grasp.

If he had wanted to, he could have dodged out of the way when she had gotten close to him, however, he hadn't wanted to as he wanted her to pass all of her anger onto him and him alone.

"Do you remember anything about the past then?" Aiden asked as he needed to figure this out.

He knew that the second level still wasn't finished which meant that there was still something that he needed to do, he could only hope that it wasn't killing her.

He knew that it was related to her, but he just hoped that he wouldn't need to kill her because that would be cruel.

"I-I don't, why can't I remember anything, what's happening to me?"

It seemed that Mia was currently in the process of having a mental breakdown and Aiden who was watching her do so couldn't take it anymore as he slowly got closer to her putting his head on her head.

He was able to easily reach her head since she was now crouched on the ground panicking.

Then, Aiden heard a beeping sound confirming that he had activated the skill [Gentle Touch].

As soon as he saw that message he noticed that Mia was slowly starting to get in control of her emotions, it seemed that this skill really could work wonders

However, it could also cause a lot of problems since people, most of the time, realized that Aiden was manipulating their emotions.

'Why aren't I sad anymore?' Mia thought as no tears were coming out of her eyes anymore.

Then, she looked up and saw that Aiden had his hand on her head and she didn't know why but it felt really good.

It was as if his touch was comforting her on a whole other level that she had never felt before.

'This is so nice,' she thought as she made sure that he wouldn't be removing his hand anytime soon.

At least, until she got control of her emotions.

While Mia was thinking of all those things, Aiden's mind was in complete turmoil thinking about a lot of different things.

'What can I ask her next that could give me a hint? Maybe I could ask her about the time she spent with the king's assassin.'

But as soon as he got that idea, he discarded it as she had just said that she had zero memories of her life.

'It's as if she was created solely for this trial, but how can I be sure of that?'

Aiden knew that there were good chances that she had been created from the ground up, but he still didn't want to take any risks as who knew what could happen.

"Are you alright now?" Aiden asked as he didn't want to force her into answering any of his questions.

He wanted to make sure that she was doing alright before continuing their discussion.

'Maybe I can tell her some things that could make her remember me?'
