"So, you're strong, right?" 

"Yes, of course, I am, my mom said that I was one of the most talented awakened of this generation," said Emma with a proud air on her face.

She seemed to really like to show off and wouldn't lose an opportunity to do so.

But what she had just said made Aiden think, if she was one of the most talented awakened of her generation then would she also participate in the Inter-Family Tournament just like Aiden?

"Are you participating in the tournament?" asked Aiden, only realizing this now.

"The Inter-Family Tournament? Of course, I am! I'm the strongest there is, I'll make sure to bring back good rewards for my mother."

'Can two members of the same family participate?' thought Aiden as he remembered that Maelis didn't give him much detail on how the selection of the participants actually worked.

"That's cool, I'm also participating," said Aiden, not mentioning his doubts and instead waiting for her reaction.

"You are? Interesting, I didn't think someone like you would be able to get the second spot," said Emma as she was still sending insults toward Aiden.

But every time she did, she noticed that Aiden didn't even react.

It seemed like insults wouldn't affect him at all.

"Do all families have permission to send two members?" asked Aiden, not minding her last comment.

"Isn't that basic knowledge? Low-level families have one spot, Medium-level families like ours have two spots, High-tier families have three spots, and I think you can guess how many the last one has."

It seemed to make sense the stronger your family the more members you could send which would as a result make your family stronger in general.

"Then, I guess that means we'll both participate in the tournament together."

"Don't believe for one second that we're a team, I don't need help," said Emma, once again showing her competitiveness.

Aiden didn't understand what he had done for her to act that way with him, but he simply nodded his head as he opened his mouth.

"I didn't want to form a team either way."

"I know that I'm beautiful and talented and that you probably wishe-," said Emma as she stopped speaking when she noticed the answer that Aiden had just said.

"Wait, you didn't want to be in a team with me?" asked Emma with a trace of sadness contained in her voice with tears forming in the corner of her eyes.

Aiden didn't quite understand the reaction she was having, wasn't she the one that had just said that?

Not wanting to deal with a sudden outburst of emotion, he simply placed his hand on her while activating his Unique Skill [Gentle Touch] which worked instantly as the tears that were forming in her eyes instantly disappeared.

'What's happening to me?' thought Emma as she felt her emotions being controlled by someone.

'Is it him that's causing this?' thought Emma as she couldn't find any other reason that she would be reacting this way.

Her conclusion was simple there wasn't anyone else with them which only indicated that Aiden was the one who was altering her emotions at the moment.

Noticing her starting to calm down, Aiden removed his hand from her but he didn't expect her reaction.

"What did you just do to me?" asked in anger Emma.

It was the complete opposite of the reaction Mia had when Aiden used it on her.

Mia felt relieved and calm which eventually led to them doing the deed but this time after he removed his hand Emma seemed truly angered at him.

"What do you mean?" asked Aiden deciding to play the innocent card as Emma didn't have any proof that he did something.

And even if she did, why was she so unhappy?

Didn't he just remove the negative emotions she was feeling?

Shouldn't she be thanking him instead?

"I was about to cry, but then you touched me, and I lost all the emotions I felt a moment ago."

"What can I say, you seem to like me touching you," said Aiden, not realizing the meaning behind those words as Emma instantly became completely red.

"W-what are you talking about, why would I like you touching me?" said Emma as her face kept the same shade of red.

"I don't know can you tell me? Do you want me to touch you again?" asked Aiden as he started having fun seeing the reactions she was having.

"T-touch me again?! What kind of pervert are you?" she said as she became shocked by the words that were starting to come out of Aiden's mouth.

'What the hell is she thinking?' thought Aiden, not understanding why her reactions were so intense.

He simply wanted to touch her shoulder or maybe her hand to show her that he hadn't done anything earlier but she seemed to think about something else completely.

"I just want to show that I didn't do anything, stop panicking."

Noticing that he had become serious, Emma stopped speaking as she started to get scared of the aura that he was putting off.

He seemed annoyed at her by the looks he was giving her.

Taking note of it, she quickly got her mind back together as she understood that he didn't want to do anything to her and that she simply imagined a scene.

'Just why did I think of such things?' 

But as she thought of that, she started to look Aiden up and down once again realizing how charming the person in front of her was.

Her thoughts became dirty again as she imagined him touching the most private parts of her body.

Her face was starting to gain the same shade of red as earlier because of those thoughts which confused Aiden even more as he just couldn't understand about the person in front of him.

Out of nowhere she turned her back and started to leave him as she was simply too embarrassed to look him in the eyes.

She had just imagined him naked which caused her to have this reaction.
