Chapter 69 The Legend Of The Training Grounds



The girl seemed quite good as many people were watching the parkour trial.

She was wearing a tight black uniform which clearly showed how fit she was. But that wasn't all that the uniform revealed, her forms and curves could be seen quite easily even from far away.

She had blonde hair and blue eyes, just like a typical elf, she also had their characteristic those pointy ears that indicated that she was, in fact, an elf.

Her slim body truly accentuated her features which raised the rod in between Aiden's legs. It had been dormant since Mia but it seemed to have woken up when he looked at her.

But, Aiden quickly calmed his mind down as he started to look at the scene around him. He wasn't the type to be distracted simply because of a girl, after all.

Then, he started looking around him.

He noticed that there weren't as many people watching as when he had done the trial.

It was to be expected since he had been accompanied by the Matriarch when he had done so, but he still noted it inside of his mind.

Seeing her moves impressed Aiden as he wasn't sure what type of movement she was using. 

She didn't look as good as Aiden but she surely had talent even Aiden couldn't say otherwise.

Interested, he decided to get a closer look as he wanted to learn about who that person was.

As he got closer, he started hearing some people in public talking about her and the performance she was putting up.

"Do you think she will be able to surpass him today?" asked one of the people in the public.

"Nah, no way, he was already on the fourth platform by now, and look at her she's still finishing the third platform. I'm telling you, that record nobody will be able to beat it," answered the other guy, mentioning facts.

The other person had no choice but to agree with him when he heard the information he had just said.

"Who is she trying to beat?" interrupted Aiden as he arrived in the middle of their conversation.

The two of them turned around with a judgemental looks on their faces as they simply couldn't comprehend how someone would ask such a stupid question.

"What am I supposed to know?" said Aiden, noticing the looks they were giving to him.

"Of course, you're supposed to. Didn't you hear about the legend of the training ground?" said the man excitedly as if he was going to reveal a secret to Aiden.

"The legend of the training ground?" repeated Aiden showing that he didn't know what they were talking about.

"Well, of course, the Aiden. The one who beat the record of the Parkour Trial in a single try."

'I became a legend,' thought Aiden not sure if he had understood the man correctly.

After all, he had simply completed one of the many challenges. He didn't do much except place first, he didn't think that it was that much of an achievement that he deserved to be called a legend.

Another thing that surprised him was the speed at which everyone became to know about him in the Everheart Manor.

Things seemed to travel fast inside this family, Aiden would probably have to get used to it.

"This Aiden that you're talking about, is he that great?" asked Aiden, acting like he didn't know anything.

"Of course he is, or else we wouldn't call him a legend," replied the man as if it was obvious.

Confirming once again how they thought of him, he wanted details about the beautiful girl who was trying to beat his record.

"And that girl who is trying to beat his record, who is she exactly?"

Then the two guys once again turned around but their judgemental looks were even more intense. 

It almost felt like a crime to not know about the identity of this person.

"You don't know who she is?" asked the man, trying to make sure he had indeed heard him correctly.

"Yeah, who is she?" said Aiden not caring about the looks that they were giving to him.

"Are you new?" asked the man as he simply couldn't understand how the person in front of him didn't know of this girl.

Sure, not knowing about the legend of the training ground was fine. It had only been a week since he appeared but she had been around for years now.

"Kind of, yeah."

"I guess, that explains it then, she is Emma Everheart. The daughter of the Matriarch of the Everheart family."

'Maelis has a daughter?!' thought Aiden as shock couldn't help but be seen inside of his eyes.

'Why didn't she mention it when I first did the trial?'

He was shocked that Maelis hadn't even told him about her, but he didn't care that much as he was also hiding many things from her.

"Is she strong?" asked Aiden wanting to know more about her.

But as he kept thinking about the name, he seemed to remember the rankings when he had first done this trial.

He remembered seeing her name at the top of them.

That meant Aiden had replaced her from the first place in the Rankings.

He didn't like it that much since it gave him attention but it wasn't anything that he couldn't deal with.

"Of course, she is. She's the first in pretty much all the challenges around here," said the man confirming Aiden's thoughts.

Then, he raised his head when he noticed people around him started to leave.

It seemed like Emma had finished her attempt and that she had once again failed at the trial.

Noticing this, Aiden actually ignored the time that she had achieved and started advancing toward the starting line.

Many ignored him simply that some random person had advanced to the starting line, but then a shout was heard from one of the people which had stayed admiring the beauty of Emma.

"That's him! That's Aiden."

He would show everyone why they started calling him the legend of the training grounds.
