After I woke up from the nap that Velzards lovely fingers put me in, I immediately got up and apologized, "Sorry, I… didn't mean to… fall asleep, it was…it was just very comfortable."
"Why are you apologizing." Velzard said while smiling, she raised her hand and patted my head, "We're family now, aren't we?" Velzard looked at me with a little anticipation.
'Puppy dog eyes?! Jeez, this must be how Rimuru felt when talking to Veldora. Fine then you pouty true dragon.' I took her into my arms and hugged her petite body, she was cold but not the bad kind of cold.
Velzard accepted my embrace with enthusiasm. I tried to let go but she was still latched onto me. After a while, Velzard let go of me.
"While I have to go now, Guy is probably expecting me." I got up and headed for the door.
Velzard simply waved with a smile as the door closed behind me. She felt something stream down her face, '…tears?'
Her mind was wondering what was happening to cause this but another feeling came from those tears, an unfamiliar feeling that has always baffled her her entire life
'…warm.'
––––———————————
My thought process was contemplating what had just happened as I walked over to Guy, 'Well that was out of character… especially for her.'
'I'll think of it another day.'
I met Guy on the battlefield, which he kept to use as a training ground for me, 'I'd like to think of it more as a torture ground for me.'
"Ok Guy, what are we learning today?" I asked with slight sarcasm.
"I'm gonna teach how to use aura."
I immediately became enthusiastic at his words
"I'm listening o'great and splendid teacher."
"No need to suck up, you're already my favourite student, but listen because it's important that you know or else that aura of yours is gonna cause me more problems."
My mind blanked at what he just said, "Wait… my aura… has been leaking out?"
Guy tried to explain the problems I caused, "Me, my sisters, Dino and Velzard are fine, but for everyone else in the palace, well.
Some of the demons have been feeling nausea and fainting, describing your approach as something akin to a living flood.", Guy said with amusement, "no need to be worried, with your rate of improvement, I positive you'll be able to learn quick. Not to mention, you've been unconsciously using Aura."
"Try to use magic sense on yourself."
I attempted to use magic sense on myself, which came easy, but doing so made me realize the flood that all the demons were talking about.
"Holy shit, well this explains how afraid they've been."
Guy explained further, "Aura is based on physical ability, so for a human, it should be easier than using magicules. Try sucking in your aura by imagining a sponge continuously sucking in water."
I did as he said and the aura emanating from me immediately dissipated, or more accurately, converged into one point.
"Told you you'd get it quick." As Guy said this, I could feel the aura around me condense. Instead of it aimlessly pouring out of me, it's now coating around my body, condensed tightly into a semi-physical shell, almost like an aura armour.
5 minutes and I've already created my first battlewill, although to be fair, what I created was basically just an enhanced version of diamond path.
Not only does it give a thick protective shell, but my muscles are bursting with energy. It's like I took instant steroids.
I started trying to use aura in a multitude of ways while Guy just sat back watched me mess around like a child discovering a new toy.
I condensed my aura in my palm and threw it. A successfully created mana bullet.
I kept on experimenting with this, to see how far I can push this. I effectively recreated death march dance by creating one mana bullet as a capsule and then filling it with dozens of other mana bullets. I found this technique to be pretty disappointing though, what's the point in creating multiple of the same weak mana bullet.
I was wondering what to do next when I looked at the blizzard, the fast moving winds that could rip me apart with ease… and got an incredible idea.
Guy looked at my grin and knew my mind was about to do something that would involve in him having to step in.
I created the mana bullet in my palm… and then began swirling the aura faster and faster in clockwise formation, while simultaneously condensing it smaller and smaller into a smaller but more impactful projectile.
I kept on adding aura while simultaneously condensing smaller and swirling faster.
When I was done, I had gotten a tiny vortex-like projectile, a tiny Hollow purple that rested at the ends of my fingertips. The swirling light of energy was a magnificent sight, even Guy was slightly mesmerized by the Kaleidescope of coloured energy… only slightly.
I put my hand in a finger gun fashion with the mana bullet at the end, pointed it at the sky and shot it.
The mana bullet burst into the sky and exploded, expanding into a black hole and dissipated the clouds before disappearing entirely.
For just a second, Velzard's climatic control faltered and the blizzard disappeared…only for a second though.
————————————————
Velzard, Misery and Rain all teleported outside wanting to know what had gone on and expecting some sort of fight.
What they found instead was me on my knees with a bump in my head and Guy looking down at me with an aggravated look.
I could just feel his eyes burrowing into my soul.
Velzard finally interrupted the silence, "I'm going to assume that sudden surge was our dearly idiotic Simon?" Velzard asked with glee.
Guy was in deep thought while looking at the sky, that torrent of Aura and magic had also caused a shockwave sent across the world, alerting most of the major and even minor powers across the world.
Guy threw me over his shoulders, sighed and responded, "This is going to be a problem, I have a feeling that I'm going to get some visitors soon."
"Hey! Put me down! I can… I can walk by mysel-." My mind has began to falter, my vision going blurry, 'goddamn, not again!', my thoughts shrieked before losing consciousness.
