Chapter 8: New World (6)

~Jack POV~

"Whew…"

Breathing in and out I began to relax my body.

The royal blue color particles are flying around the area of my room as I began to use my <Aura Expel> skill to increase its levels.

And when I did so I was able to raise it to Lv.9 because I have been draining it and waiting to recover.

After that, I felt mentally exhausted from my soul for doing so.

Is that what it felt like training the soul?

But regardless though the more I train on <Aura Expel> the more I feel like I have control over it as the more I stretch out my own soul.

Unbelievable really.

With the security up in the Path Village I was visibly relaxed on the bed and bought some clothes for me to have but…

I'm running out of Lien very soon only enough to pay for one more night in the hotel room.

I need to start actively hunting down some Grimm for me to gain some Lien or get a job for me to do.

The next step was to train my soul.

But even then, I felt extremely tired so I tried to create a skill that would allow me to recover faster.

Relaxing a bit from expelling my aura and using my <Aura Expel> to get better adjusted to it I unlocked another skill when relaxing that I found out to be really good in between training which is really useful.

Meditation since I let my mind rest as well as my body.

Have to admit it's really handy in speeding the process up.

Of course, there is also sleeping which also helps restore me but I have the need to grind <Meditation> skill.

Never know when you can get something OP that could help.

Never hurts to get yourself in the grind.

The <Meditation> skill I got from the skill book back at the library as I use it to train.

And grinding skills up takes time.

But with everything now out of the way it was time for me to create that skill.

The amount of effort I placed in it better work or else I would be pissed.

Beginning to activate my <Aura> I began to use the skill <Aura Expel> leaving my body but with a general focus on the water bottle as I began to give it a command of sorts if that's the right term to use here.

Time to test my aura out.

Aura is the manifestation of one's soul in RWBY and can be used for a wide range of abilities.

The specific abilities and their strengths differ from individual to individual and are dependent on a number of factors, such as experience, training, and innate skill.

Aura is an ability that all those with a soul can use, at least with enough practice. Because Aura is the manifestation of the soul, it can appear very differently depending on who is using it.

It is mentioned that anything with a soul has an Aura, including Humans, Faunus, and animals like Zwei; even synthetic people with souls, such as Penny Polendina, can generate an Aura.

The Creatures of Grimm, being soulless, are the only known form of life that does not have Aura.

Skilled users of Aura can create their own barriers or even increase their own abilities in some way.

Weapons and armor can also act as a conduit for Aura, allowing for an even wider range of offensive and defensive capabilities.

Hell, I remember the main cast using mere food as weapons because they were aura enhanced to withstand the pressure.

It has been shown that the strength of an Aura degrades with continual use.

This limits the applications of Aura in combat as, with time or heavy use, a person's Aura will decay to the point where they are left weakened or even incapacitated.

Aura being completely depleted is visually represented as a colored sheen glowing along the length of a person's body or with colored particles flying off the body, indicating that they can now be physically injured.

Aura flickering means it is close to being depleted.

Aura is a necessary energy source for all Huntsmen, being a powerful ally in battle.

It is also required in order to trigger the use of Dust.

Aura, as demonstrated by various characters, can be used in the following techniques for defense, offense, unlocking aura, healing, dust usage, extrasensory perception, climate protection, sensing aura, and identifying aura.

With that, I decided to test my aura out by one means that can grant me to create multiple skills…

Manipulating it.

Now then…

Placing my body out and opening my hands with my eyes open I began to use my <Aura> throughout my body as I begin to follow where my soul is going.

First, gather the aura or soul in my body as I'm doing right now as I feel some kind of sensation throughout my whole body as I feel like something is tugging at it making me feel some pain in my nerves than in my veins at this moment gathering it to me.

Second, I try to visualize what I wanted from my aura as I try to force it to move or manipulate it as I felt like I was pulling a limb or small muscle action like moving a finger.

Third I ready my aura as I feel it gathering around my body as I feel the tugging sensation becoming stronger as I get ready to produce the effects I wanted to feel.

Tingly even but it's absolutely there.

And finally, the fourth, step…

Step four is when I have implemented the action in my head as I began to provide the response my soul wanted to follow as I saw my aura begin to contort and form out of itself moving.

Acting to the accord of my will.

Slowly…

I see my aura of mine begin to move slightly as I felt like stretching out…

*Thud*

"Sigh… whezzz…."

Damn it I was so close!

I felt like my soul almost collapsed there as I tried to move my soul.

Sigh…

Guess I'm going to need to retrain and heal at the same time.

For now, I need to rest but I won't give up!

////

*Shiii*

Using my Aura I tried to begin to manipulate my soul once more my aura to move and forth again as I move it.

[You have created a skill!]

[Skill <Aura Manipulation> learned!]

Fucking hell yes!

Stopping a bit from launching the same move multiple times feeling justifiably drained of my Aura as I saw my AP bar going down a few times and some of my aura feeling tired because of me tugging it.

But doing the process multiple times certainly was enough for my [The Gamer] powers to recognize the skill and made it one.

Now then…

Skill list.

-----

<Aura Manipulation> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 10%

AP Cost: Varies

Description: Allowing the user to manipulate their own aura, it lets the user gain better control of their aura, allowing them to use it for whatever purpose they need, once skilled enough to manipulate it.

-----

Now…

Grinning evilly at this I spoke to myself as I rest a bit as I spoke, "Now time to grind the living shit of this skill."

[Ding!]

[The Quest is created!]

But after I finish up my training all for that glorious and glorious Stat points.

Licking my lips in anticipation I began to rest then I would need to train up again.

I can feel my muscles become stronger after this time to rest…
