Then, everyone got teleported to a completely different location which Aiden had clearly never seen before.

Getting a quick look around them, it seemed that they were outside the territory as Aiden could see the ramparts made of stone all around it.

'What are they even scared of?' thought Aiden seeing those remparts.

In his mind, it didn't make sense for the city to have something to defend themselves since there were no monsters that could potentially attack them since they were all in the Otherworld and even there they were rare.

Then, he stopped looking at the Ravenwood Territory as he glanced to his right and saw a vehicle that didn't resemble anything like what Aiden had taken to get here in the first place.

It wasn't some weird vehicle, well it was but it was in a completely different form which Aiden had never seen before.

It was literally floating, not even touching the ground and the most shocking part about all this was that there were still wheels under him for unknown reasons.

The other thing was that this floating vehicle was immensive and it was of the colour pink which made him visible from very far away.

'Well, I guess it's not something you use to be discreet,' thought Aiden, seeing that flashy colour.

He knew that if it had been who had designed this thing, the only colour that would be on it would be black. So, that he would be able to use it discreetly which was the complete opposite of right now.

After getting a good look at this pink floating vehicle, he noticed that there were already multiple people on it.

However, since he was too far away from it, he wasn't able to see who they were. Aiden could already guess that there would be Melinda on it, but regarding the others, he wasn't sure.

Then, he stopped looking from far away as he got closer and closer to that floating vehicle.

As he got onto it, he was able to glance at who was on it and then he remembered that Isolde was on it, the girl who had finished third place.

Aiden wasn't sure why she was there at first, but then he remembered that she had asked for Melinda to train her, so it made sense to see her here.

There were four other people who weren't Isolde and Melinda, and they were all guys.

Aiden simply gave them a glance as he wasn't really interested in them, in fact, even Emma and Olivia didn't look at them, ignoring them as if they were simply decorations.

To be honest, why would they look at other guys when they had the perfect one right beside them?

"You're finally here," said Melinda as she noticed that Aiden had once again his mask on his face, clearly not wanting to show it to those who were present there.

She would have to be careful regarding his name since he clearly didn't want it to spread which was something that she couldn't understand as everyone wanted to be renowned.

Seeing that the Reaper had just gotten on, Isolde gave him a quick look however she quickly looked down when she saw the two crazy girls who were holding his hands.

'Yeah, they're crazy,' thought the maid seeing the looks that they were giving to Isolde.

Were they not scared of her family or something like that?

It was as if all that mattered in their life was Aiden.

"Alright, now that everyone here's what do you say that we finally leave this place and go home," exclaimed Melinda, indicating for the three of them to sit in front of them.

Aiden obviously listened as he sat down, and while doing so neither Emma nor Olivia let go of him which shocked everyone inside the floating vehicle.

All of them had pretty much the same thought.

'Yeah, they're crazy.'

That was what they all told themselves seeing that.

But they didn't give it too much importance as everyone started feeling the vehicle slowly getting higher and higher in the air.

Then, everyone stopped talking and made sure that they wouldn't fall off this thing, since there were only small walls to protect them from falling.

***

A few minutes later, they were now arriving at the Emberbane Territory and it was the complete opposite of both the Ravenwood and Nightshade Territory.

Everything was so... colourful as if there was a party going on every single moment of the day.

Everywhere that Aiden looked there were new colours that he had never seen before, a mix of colours that he had never thought would even exist. It was weird, especially for Aiden who was used to everything being of a dark colour.

Feeling that everything around was joyful was a change that he would have to get used to.

"Alright, everyone we arrived, get off," said Melinda.I think you should take a look at

While she said that, Aiden was able to glance at the gigantic building that was right behind her and he was shocked.

It was even worse than the city itself, everywhere that he looked he was blinded by how flashy the colours were.

'Well, this is obviously not a place where assassins are welcomed,' thought Aiden, as it would be very difficult to hide yourself with all those colours.

'Well, I understand why that floating car was pink,' thought Aiden as he slowly started to realize that it made sense considering this was the place where they lived.

"Do you like it?" asked Melinda, seeing everyone's shocked face.

Well, Olivia was obviously used to it, but it was both Emma, Olivia, and Aiden who couldn't even begin to believe what they were saying.

"Um, y-yeah, it certainly colourful," replied Olivia, still not convinced over this whole design.

"Right, well I'm happy that you like it because inside is even more colourful," said Melinda excitedly while she started walking toward the front door of this colourful castle.

'Jeez if I stay here for too long, I'll become blind.'

"Alright, let's go in," said Melinda as she started moving toward the door which wasn't too far away from her.

Soon after that, the rest entered this giant mansion, estate, or whatever could fit to describe how massive this thing was.

Hell, Aiden couldn't even see how large it was when entering.

Then, soon after entering, Melinda stopped in front of all of them, turning around.

"Alright, so what do you want to go and visit first?" said Melinda, looking in the direction of Aiden making it clear that the question was for him.

"Oh, and you boys can leave and go do whatever you usually do," said Melinda to the people who had participated in the Inter Family Tournament for her family.

It seemed that she really didn't care about them at all, as if they were something that she could throw away whenever she wanted.

Well, theoretically that was the case, but whatever.

"Um, the training hall," replied Aiden to her earlier question.

He said that he had no choice but to think of when he had first arrived at the Everheart family and visited the training hall, becoming the Legend of the training halls, well over there.

He remembered beating that parkour challenge on his first try.

Thinking about that, he also remembered that the training was the reason that he had met Emma who was still right beside him even now.

Well, Aiden was excited about the differences between a founding family training hall and a middle-level family training hall.

He couldn't wait to see what things the other training hall lacked since from Aiden's perspective it had been pretty good.

Then, as they were about to leave in the training hall's direction, a voice interrupted them.

"When we get there, I want a duel against him," said Isolde as she pointed toward Aiden who still had his face hidden behind a mask.

'Why me again?' thought Aiden, as he started to get annoyed by this whole fighting thing.

Couldn't they simply leave him alone for a single moment, he always had to find someone different.

In the trial, it was Lucius, now it's her.

What's next?

Melinda, however, wasn't of the same opinion as Aiden since there was a big smile on her face.

"Oh! I like that, what do you say Reaper, do you accept?" said Melinda, having no doubts that Aiden would accept this duel.

'It'll be interesting seeing the two of them fight, and it would give some idea of how strong she is,' thought Melinda as she remembered that she would have to train Isolde for one month.

It was easy to say that it would be a really long time before Melinda won't be able to know Aiden more which was basically what she dreamed of doing.

"Sure, I'll accept," replied Aiden, as he knew that he couldn't show that he was someone weak or scared.

He needed to keep this strong appearance up, even if he disliked it at the moment.
