"W-what are you saying, of course, we aren't dating," said Emma, having a little difficulty speaking.
She was now completely as if this question from Olivia had totally blindsided her.
It was totally unexpected and why would she ask such a question in the first place?
Based on what sort of indications she thought that they were dating, hell... she couldn't even see Aiden's face which was hidden under his mask.
"Then, why did you become red like a tomato when I asked about it?" asked Olivia Starweaver, curiously.
Then, as Emma was about to respond, she was interrupted by Aiden who was quite annoyed by the direction of this conversation.
Why are they even talking about such a thing when the Inter Family Tournament was about to start?
They hadn't been told an exact time, but the dwarf who was still watching would probably give them some time to learn about their teammate's strengths and weaknesses.
They didn't have any time to waste, they needed to concentrate on the task ahead and prepare some strategies for the team battles which would soon commence.
"Why are you even talking about such a thing? We should talk about how we're going to fight," said Aiden, ignoring the earlier conversation as if it didn't have any meaning.
Sure, he had gotten close to Emma once, but it was because of Emma's actions, not his.
He didn't even care about what happened between and Emma clearly didn't care as she hadn't even talked to him about it.
Well, the reason for her to not talk about it was because she didn't even remember about it in the first place, but Aiden didn't know about that.
"Oh, is Mister here getting protective or something?" said Olivia, smiling while approaching the masked Aiden, not scared at all.
'Why are their personalities so different? Didn't they say that they were brother and sister,' thought Aiden, trying to make as little sense as he could of their personality.
"Leave them alone, sis, he's right, this is a big opportunity for all of us here," said Logan, gaining the courage to speak up albeit in a low tone that was barely audible by Aiden or Emma.
It seemed like he was either really shy or scared, well, Aiden didn't know yet.
"Hmm... I guess you are right, little bro, then, I'll start," she said as pumped her chest. "I am Olivia Starweaver, me and my brother are Starweavers and as you probably know we are a high-level family," said Olivia, finally revealing what type of family they were since Aiden or Emma had absolutely no idea.
"I am a mage, so I will be in the back when we will be fighting releasing the strongest skills that I can pull off," said Olivia, continuing her little speech, not letting a single second for someone to interrupt her.
'A mage, huh?' thought Aiden as this was the first time that he was seeing one.
Well, on second thought, it kind of made sense that she was a mage as she held a massive stick of wood with some blue sphere at the top of it.
Her hair was also completely red, and she was wearing plain clothes that weren't revealing any part of her body which was quite the contrast to Emma who was currently wearing a tank top as she still hadn't put on her armour.
The reason for that was her inventory. She would just put it on when needed.
"A-as for me, well, I'm a shieldbearer," said Logan, timidly.
This time, Aiden was quite surprised as he literally couldn't have guessed it.
Weren't people on the front line quite massive, especially for a shieldbearer who would rely on his body to tank some of the attacks from others?
Then, why was Logan so small and frail?
It looked like he would die from a single hit as his body was so unmuscular and frail. It literally made no sense for him to be on the front lines.
Olivia who had noticed the looks that Emma was giving her brother, immediately came to his rescue.
She would have noticed the ones that Aiden had been giving, but well... is was wearing a mask which hid his entire face.
"Please don't judge for his appearance, I'm telling you he won't bring us down," affirmed Olivia, sounding so sure of herself that Emma or Aiden didn't ask her to prove anything.
'Well, he must be strong if he's here,' thought Aiden.
That was a good point brought up for Aiden, if he was at the Inter Family Tournament then he must be one of the most talented awakeners of their generation.
So, there was no need for them to worry too much about his strength.
Then, it seemed like it was time for Aiden and Emma to present themselves.
"I'm an archer, so I will also be long-range," said Emma smiling looking at Aiden as it was now his time to tell them about his class.
But, before he could do so, Emma once again opened her mouth seemingly forgetting something.
"Oh, and as you probably saw, we're from the Everheart family, a middle-level family," said Emma, also revealing the strength of their family in case they didn't know of it.
As she said that, the two from the Starweaver family nodded as if learning something.
It seemed like they hadn't heard of the Everheart family.
'I guess, it's time for me to reveal and my class,' thought Aiden, apprehensive about the whole situation.
He didn't know what to do, well he had two choices and was currently hesitating between the two of them.
He either had to tell them that his class was Assassin or just not reveal anything to them.
Telling them about the fact that he didn't have a class wasn't even part of the option as this was a pretty hidden secret of his and there was also no need to tell them about it.
However, telling them that he was part of the Assassin class would help his team be more coordinated with him.
So, after thinking things through, he decided that he would simply reveal that he was of the Assassin Class as it would help him in the end.
He didn't want to lose the first fight after all.
"As for me, I'm an Assassin. So, I won't be able to be on the front line either, I will probably be hiding and surging at some moments onto enemies," said Aiden as he looked over to Logan trying to see what his reaction was because of this information.
Even if he knew that he must have some strength, he still couldn't trust either Olivia or Logan, he had never met them before after all.
He wanted to watch for his reaction because it would certainly be some sort of indicator as to whether or not he would be confident.
But, Logan didn't have any reaction and didn't look more scared than earlier., his face was still the face.
'I guess, its is resting face,' thought Aiden noticing not a single change.
Then, as Aiden mentioned his class, the dwarf who was in front of them was growing tired of them, as he made some noises from time to time to show his unhappiness.
"Are you finished or what?" said the dwarf, looking at the 200 people in front of him.
Faced with no answers, he simply said. "You have three minutes left, so try to make it quick. The tournament will start after three minutes."
"Well, I guess we got some time, what did you guys want to talk about?" asked Olivia as they had pretty much said anything that was needed.
"Hey, Reaper, show me your face," she asked out of nowhere.
But, Aiden simply ignored her as he didn't want to talk to her and he also didn't want to show his face.
"Just leave him alone," said Emma when she heard her ask that.
Was she jealous that someone was trying to catch a glimpse of Aiden?
Three minutes later which the team of Aiden had passed in silence, well... most of the members had done so.
It would have been silence if it wasn't for one person in their team who hadn't shut her mouth.
She hadn't stopped talking for the past three minutes, always some subject to talk about.
Even though she was talking to herself, she didn't stop.
But, then they were saved from her rambling as the dwarf once again started talking.
"Alright time's up, it's now time to start this damn tournament!" said the dwarf excitedly.
"Then, I guess we should send you to the middle of the arena. Oh, and don't worry everyone will be fighting at the same time, we don't want to spend days here after all," said the dwarf as Aiden and everyone around started to turn into particles.
'They can teleport us at will too? Just what is this dimension? Was this why we couldn't participate from anywhere?' thought Aiden, trying to think about how this was even possible.
