Then, Aiden followed behind Emma interested in this new attitude of hers which wasn't anything like he was used to.

However, while doing so, he was still debating whether this was a good use of the little time they had to prepare themselves.

Realizing that it wouldn't, he decided to speak up as they were clearly wasting their time.

"Emma," he said grabbing both her arms tightly waking her up from whatever situation she had imagined. "We need to talk strategy, and I'm sure that they are also talking about that right now," added Aiden.

'Well maybe not, who knows what Olivia is even thinking about right now,' thought Aiden as he knew that she could be laughing right at this very moment not even caring about the fight that was ahead of them.

He knew that she wasn't the most serious, especially in moments where she needed to be, but still, he wanted to talk about strategy with Emma as this was clearly the best course of action.

"Who cares, we'll win anyway," she said as she started behaving exactly like before, going toward the same spot as before.

Aiden this time was mad, she had ignored him once again. Who the hell did she think she was?

"Emma, stop this game of yours it's annoying," said Aiden as he used a completely different tone of voice from earlier, clearly mad about this whole thing.

As Aiden said that, the annoying voice once again resounded throughout the Arena.

"You only have 30 seconds left to discuss with your partner, hehe."

Hearing this, Aiden knew that he had to act fast and discuss how they would be fighting against Olivia and Logan as they could easily counter their style.

They were both the type of people to hide and strike when the opponent wouldn't be expecting it. However, it wouldn't be possible this time as both Olivia and Logan would be expecting it.

There was also another problem, Aiden had no real idea of the strength of the two as he had been focusing on the fight against the Prodigy and there was also the fact that Olivia had to chance to see the technique of Aiden.

If they were considering all those facts, their victory wasn't assured at all.

"Emma, alright, listen to me, I'll tell you what we're going to do when we fight them. If you do as I said then we should be able to win without any problem," said Aiden, as he seemed to have already figured out a problem to completely obliterate the team of Olivia and Logan.

Sure, Aiden may not know the full extent of their abilities, but he knew that if they did exactly as he had planned, then there shouldn't be any surprise on who would win.

Then, Aiden proceeded to tell her about all of his plans as she constantly nodded her head every time he said something.

'I guess, I'll just laugh at her after the fight,' thought Emma, still thinking about the fact that Aiden had chosen her over Olivia.

It really was a great sensation, however, she didn't want to make him all mad before the fight, so she decided to listen to that strategy which he wanted to say desperately.

Then, as Aiden finished telling her everything, the voice came back as it once again began talking in the Arena.

"Time's up, then I guess we should change the environment this time," said Thorin, who was the voice, laughing as he said that.

'Fuck, then my plan is literally useless,' thought Aiden, hearing that last sentence which had come out of that person's mouth.

He had planned to use the trees to hide himself, as his main focus would be Olivia which should be defenceless, especially when Logan activates his weird skill which makes him lose his mind.

'Let's just hope that it isn't a desert of something like that,' thought Aiden, as he could feel himself being transported into a new zone.

Then, as he regained his sight, they were in a completely different location which wasn't anything like a forest, in fact, it was quite the opposite.

It was the one thing that Aiden had wished against and here it was, a desert.

'Fuck, why wouldn't they be announcing it before,' thought Aiden as he was now completely in the open as he could see the forcefield in front of him.

"Alright, Emma change of plans," muttered Aiden instantly when they appeared. He knew that his previous plan wouldn't work at all as it had taken into account that they had somewhere to hide.

"We'll need to improvise," said Aiden, as he could see that Emma was still nodding, not saying a single word.

"Are you alright? What's up with you?" asked Aiden, noticing that weird behaviour.

Emma still nodded once again as she didn't seem to be able to open her mouth at all.

'What's up with her?' thought Aiden, as he just couldn't understand why she was acting like that.

However, he had no time to deal with that as he needed to concentrate on the task which was ahead of him.

"Whatever, just make sure that it doesn't affect your strength when fighting," added Aiden as he could the countdown inside of his head.

[The fight will begin in five seconds.]

[The fight will begin in four seconds.]

[The fight will begin in three seconds.]

[The fight will begin in two seconds.]

[The fight will begin in one second.]

[Fight!]

Aiden heard that inside of his mind as the force field in front of him completely disappeared, giving them a look toward the other team.

It seemed that the force field also had the use of hiding people behind it.

'It seems that the distance between us is much shorter this time,' thought Aiden, immediately as there seemed to be at most one kilometre between the two teams.

Then, Aiden dashed forward as it needed to reach the other side of this desert before Logan activated his skill, or else the fight would be a lot more complicated.

If Logan wasn't able to activate his skill then it would only be a matter of time before Aiden and Emma would be winning.

*Swoosh*

As Aiden had been running in front of him as fast as he could, an arrow passed right beside him and it was aimed directly at the head of Logan.

It seemed that Emma who had been quite distracted was now totally focused on shooting arrows in Olivia's direction, it's not like she hadn't wanted to do it.

She had understood Aiden's action instantly when seeing him run at them without caring about anything else.

'That will probably make me gain some points with him,' she thought, inside of her mind, as she knew that he would be very happy if they won this fight right now.

Then, after shooting the first arrow, she shot another in the direction of the enemy team as they weren't that far away, well for an awakener as it would only take at most one minute to reach them.

And if Logan started running toward Aiden, then who knew how much time it would take?

*Swoosh*

*Swoosh*

Arrows kept going past Aiden as he continued running in their direction, however, when he looked ahead of him, he became confused.

'What is she doing?' thought Aiden, seeing Olivia waving her hand at him as if they were not in a life and dead battle.

A battle which would make the winner able to win great rewards for their family.

Then, he started a faint noise coming from over there.

"Don't attack us, let's talk," shouted Olivia as loud as she could.

'What? Talk? What is she even planning?' thought Aiden as he could still see Emma's arrows going straight into the direction of Aiden's head.

"Talk, what do you mean?" shouted Aiden back as he was getting closer and closer to them.

The arrows which Emma had just been blocked by one of Olivia's spells as they were hitting their target.

"We don't want to fight you, we'll let you guys win. But there's a condition," she said as she could see that Aiden was only a few meters away from them.

Aiden, hearing that, and seeing that didn't seem to have any hidden intentions turned his back and called Emma who wasn't too far away from them.

But, even while turning his back, he made sure that nothing could happen to him as he wasn't even sure if they were even telling the truth.

Nonetheless, if they were going to let them win, then why wouldn't Aiden accept, it was literally a golden opportunity to go further into the tournament.

Seeing that Aiden wasn't attacking them and had just made a sign to her, she began running in their direction as she was clearly interested in what they were talking about.

'Don't tell me, she's going to use this chance to charm him,' thought Emma, as she began picking up the pace.

Emma was panicking over that matter as she just couldn't imagine what they were discussing.

She needed to know what was happening which was why she started to move at a faster pace.

What if she proposed something to him that Aiden wouldn't refuse, she knew that Olivia was someone known as bold and she didn't want to take any risk.

Then, Emma ran toward them as fast as she possibly could. 

An excited Olivia had a big smile on her face as she could finally have a conversation with Aiden alone.
