77 Aura Reading
I tried to get used to my new senses for a while, but I couldn't handle the amount of information that my brain was getting from everywhere.
I focused and shut down all my senses.
I sighed, when I got enhanced smell, I understood a couple of things about enhanced senses.
The F-Rank kept the sense improved all the time, in the E-Rank the improvement is even more significant, but you can control it, for example with the F-Rank enhances sight I was able to see more details on the things I observe, but that was it. With the E-Rank besides that I can make my sight normal, improve it to be able to see all the details of a scene, or focus on something specific like a beast I'm fighting and ignore the rest, like concentrate in one thing with a camera the primary objective was detailed but the rest was out of focus.
When all my senses are working at max capacity like before my brain couldn't understand what was happening, so I shut down all of them for now.

After doing this, I slowly started to try my new senses. The taste didn't have much difference to how it was before, a sweet smell came from Rose who was next to me. I could hear her heart beating. I took her hand to understand the changes in the touch. Finally, I opened my eyes, and focused my gaze on her face, even with the crappy light we had I could count her eyelashes, and see the details of her iris.
I noticed the little blood vessels on her face and saw the process whole process her face made to blush. She knew that I was trying my new power, so even if she was a little embarrassed, she didn't tell me anything.
I also had a sixth sense, but that one will work when I'm in danger so I can't try it right now, about the seventh sense, it was even more supernatural than the rest.
After asking the system, I understood a little better my three options.
Precognition came because of time distortion, in reality, it gave me two abilities. First I can from time to time get glimpses of the future, I can't control them. It's a good ability, but the problem is that it's too unreliable, since what I see and when is random. The second ability was "battle precognition" which allowed me to see a little into the future when battling so I can see the attack someone will make a second before it happens, giving me more time to react and counterattack. Before it would have been a fantastic ability, but I think that with time bubble and my reflexes it's not like it can boost my fighting prowess that much so it's a little redundant.
Astral Senses was obviously influenced by my link with Rose, I found it attractive because I remember not seeing Lucy at the beginning, so I'm a little worried about the appearance of some unknowns dangers from the astral realm, just like Lucy could set me free it's possible that there were creatures that could harm us.
I was inclined to choose Astral Senses, but I think that if there is something dangerous, sixth sense should kick in, and we also have Rose who can see it. Also even if I can see it, it's not like I can't fight it, so is not necessary to the group.
The last was the most mysterious to me, Psychometry. This was influenced by time distortion and my other view type abilities. With psychometry, I was able to see the history of a particular object or living being. This wasn't the central part of this sense, don't misunderstand, it's impressive, but according to the system, one of the sub-abilities related to psychometry will appear in my case… Aura reading.
Because of the evolution and improvement of my senses, my different views will disappear and become my standard view. Since the different views are a part of my enhanced sight I can choose to change it at will, and I don't have the need to switch from one mode to another from now on, and I can even have all of them working all the time, of course, this would be a lot more tiring for my brain.
'Choose Psychometry.'
[Seventh Sense Obtained: Psychometry]
[Wide color range, Vital point, and tracking view, became Aura view].
Rose gasped.
"What happen?"
"I'm not sure, I think that your eyes changed somehow… I mean they are still the most beautiful green I ever saw, but I don't know how to explain it, they have this mysterious aura now like if they can see things that they shouldn't."
She was somewhat right, at this moment, I can see her with a white aura, there are some brighter parts that feels different from the rest, this should be Lucy's influence. Beside this I can feel the power coming from her aura, it feels like it can take my soul if I keep looking.
About the other part of psychometry, I haven't used it, but I think that with some time I should be able to see more about her.
With the improvement of my intelligence and the new perk, I didn't have any problem like the overload from before, unless I go all out.
Since I used all the things I received, I wanted to see how much I had improved.

I smiled while sharing my status with Rose.
"Aura view?"
She noticed the differences right away.
"Yes, I got it from the senses mission."
"How does my aura look like?"
I don't know why but for a second I thought that she would stand up to model the aura for me but that was a stupid idea.
"White, but not bright more like a white smoke that moves around you. There are some bright white threads, but the feeling from them is different, I think those are from Lucy's pact. Also, it felt powerful and gave off the feeling of stealing your soul away."
"Can you see yours, or other things?"
I looked at my hand, but there was nothing weird, probably it doesn't work on myself. I looked around, and there were indeed some random objects that had a pale aura on them…
"No, I don't think it works on myself, but I can see the aura of some objects. I will keep experimenting tomorrow though, now I want to pamper my cute girlfriend."
She gave a cute laugh, and I finally relaxed, the moment I used all the rewards it felt like Jamie's threat was finally over. I took Rose in my arms and kissed her. I didn't try doing this with my new senses, I will probably go crazy if I did, and I don't want another hickey situation when G is already a little mad at me.
After a couple of kisses, we went to sleep, we were both tired because of the last days, and even with the little nap, we took we fell asleep right away.
_________________________________________
When I woke up in the morning Rose was snuggled between my arms, I didn't want to leave the bed yet, so I just stayed there looking at Rose.
She woke up after a while and saw me looking at her.
"Good morning sweetie." I gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Good morning, can we stay like this and go to train later?" she stretched a little.
"Of course, I want to stay a little longer too I think we earned it."
She smiled and closed her eyes. She wasn't sleeping so we talked about the light novel that she got from the box, games, and tried to guess bizarre powers that we are going to see someday.
I decided to not do anything today, besides the usual morning training. I have ignored my girlfriend and friends for too long and wanted to have a quiet day once in a while too.
