Chapter 86 Getting Closer
"Are you sure? I can stay here you know," said Aiden thinking about the possible benefits of acting this way.
Smelling his scent once again, it seemed like her mind was starting to fade away.
Aiden needed to leave her alone right now or else who knew what would happen.
"Everything's fine, just leave me alone," she said using her usual condescending tone toward Aiden.
"Alright then, see you tomorrow I guess," said Aiden entering the bedroom.
When Aiden closed the door behind him, relief appeared on Emma's face as she couldn't control herself when Aiden started to get close to her.
Everything about him simply looked too addicting.
If one day she tasted it, she might never be able to get rid of it.
While she started to calm down, she felt some liquid in between her legs coming out of her sacred place.
'Don't tell me that I was this excited?' she thought not believing that only his smell and touch had caused such a reaction out of her body.
'It must be sweat, yeah sweat,' she thought trying to convince herself.
'It's not like I'm interested in him, it's just because of his Charm stat points. Yeah, that must be it, why would I even be interested in him?'
Thinking of all this, her face was obviously red. She was ashamed of her own behavior.
'Why am I acting this way, when he doesn't even seem to have any reaction regarding my body?'
'Am I not beautiful?' she thought, standing up and looking in the mirror.
'Are they not big enough?' thought Emma as she grabbed both her tits squeezing them together.
This time it wasn't her face that was red but her pointy ears.
'Why am I even thinking of all this, I need to go to sleep who cares how someone like him thinks?' she then thought going back on the couch.
The next day, Aiden and Emma once again went to the training early in the morning as they both slept only two hours.
They both did their respective training as Emma kept swinging her dagger and Aiden kept shooting arrows sometimes with Emma's supervision, and sometimes without it.
Once again, when people started arriving inside the training grounds, Emma left Aiden and went back to their room to continue practicing.
Seeing Emma leave, a sudden thought came to Aiden's mind.
'Oh shit, I forgot to tell her about the Everheart technique.'
'I'll just tell her tonight,' he then thought as he didn't want to interrupt his current training.
As he continued shooting arrows nonstop he could see that he was making some ameliorations but it was still a long process.
He continued training until midnight as he wanted to discuss with Emma the Everheart technique and the fastest way to learn it.
Getting back to his room, he opened the door, and this time Emma was still swinging her dagger around as it seemed she still had the energy to do so.
"Emma, could I ask you something?"
"Y-yes, what do you want to ask?" answered Emma clearly stressed about what Aiden would ask of her.
Waiting for him to talk, her mind was creating multiple options of what he would ask and without much surprise, most of them were quite lewd.
"I actually forgot to tell you earlier today, but yesterday night Maelis gave me access to the knowledge of the Everheart technique."
'Why would I even think that he would ask me such things? Why is my mind so twisted?' she thought, before regaining her calm appearance.
"Yes, and?" she said, calmly, not letting show her earlier thoughts.
"Well, I was wondering as you already know how to use it if you could give me some tips on how to apply the knowledge that I got from it," said Aiden hoping that Emma wouldn't ask for anything weird this time.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but from my own experience I would say that it's better to experiment with the technique," she said as she knew that people had different ways of comprehending something.
Aiden nodded and continued as he had already guessed as such.
"Alright thanks anyway, I will probably spend the night analyzing the knowledge from that old parchment."
"I'll probably come soon, I can feel that my arms are close to coming off on their own," said Emma watching Aiden enter their bedroom.
Then, a bit later Aiden was on his bed with his eyes closed as a beeping sounded inside his mind.
*Beep*
[Do you wish to access the details of the Everheart technique?]
'Yes,' thought Aiden answering the system.
But as he responded inside his mind, a single image appeared inside his mind which actually didn't contain that much information.
[Creator: Anonymous]
[Middle-level Technique]
[Description: You will be able to concentrate the natural elements that surround you into a single attack. A long-range weapon is needed to use this technique.]
[Steps to use it: ...]
Aiden continued reading everything noting the steps to realize this technique.
But the thing that interested him the most was the creator of this technique.
'Why is the name of the creator of this technique hidden?' thought Aiden finding it weird.
'Wouldn't it be the Everheart family that created it?' Aiden thought, not sure why they would hide their name on it.
But he didn't spend too much time thinking about it as he simply couldn't get anything relevant out of this information.
The way to learn the technique was what really mattered.
There was a total of fifteen steps.
And even if Aiden succeeded in all those steps, it wouldn't even be sure that he would actually be able to use this technique.
He now understood why Emma had taken years to master the technique.
It was already looking quite a long to learn, but she also had to master each step which probably took even longer.
Aiden without mastering the steps could potentially release the technique, but it would be random as to whether he would succeed or not.
Then, as he was about to go to sleep, Emma entered the room with both her arms looking dead as they were hanging from her body.
