Understanding Aura
"Even more important than imposing an Aura?"
"It is even more important and stronger than the Aura itself."
Centurion racks his brain, but after getting Aura on his hand he doesn't know what other thing is more important and stronger than the Aura as his mother said.
"It makes Aura increase by severalfold if infant aura users are focusing on them."
An important thing that could increase Aura by severalfold. Is there anything like that inside my body?
"Mom, are you teasing me?"
Centurion's mother shook her head, denying his question. Then, she moves her hand and points it at his chest.
"This is the answer."
"What is it? Heart?" he looks at her hand.
"Mmmm," His mother pondered for a while, "it's correct and incorrect."
"What are you even saying."
"If you know, you'll say so too… Try to guess it, I know you know the answer."
As his mother replied to him with a vague answer, Centurion searched for another answer. His mother pointed her finger at his heart, if it isn't his heart then that means there is nothing else but that.
"Is it internal body?
"Ping pong. To be exact, it's your physical body."
At least his answer is half-accurate. He lets out a mouthful sigh of relief. A question was raised in his head.
"But mother, I can just train Aura while also training my physical body."
"That is true however, in the current state you could only use Pseudo Aura for a little amount of time, right?"
Centurion wanted to retort his mother's absurd answer but before he could, she continues.
"At the moment, your body couldn't withstand the effect of using Pseudo Aura just yet. If you diligently increase the amount of training you do with your body and escalate the resistance of your body stress, you'll be one of the strongest warriors in the future."
Centurion looks into his mother's eyes, unlike her usual gloomy and dead eyes, this one is serious.
While that is probably true, right now he couldn't compare the amount of time of using Pseudo Aura yet, as he doesn't have anyone to compare with.
He nodded in reply.
"Imagine it like this, there are two following options, the water on the sea and the water on the pond. Which side has more amount of water?"
Why is she suddenly asking a question? How could the talk from physical body training go to picking which side has more water? Centurion is speechless.
Anyway, between water on the sea and water on the pond If he needs to choose one obviously, he picks the one on the sea that would have more water compared to the pond.
"The sea?"
He is perplexed by his mother's question, why does she ask him an oblivious question? Isn't the answer already perceive that even a ten-year-old kid knows?
"If so, you have the answer."
"What?"
His mother flashed a grin at him, while the opposite gave a weird face. He doesn't understand what his mother means as she talks ambiguously and she doesn't have any initiation to explain either coming from her face.
She tapped his shoulder a few times and passed him.
"Believe in what I said, you wouldn't regret it later. Did you forget who am I?"
Centurion still doesn't know what his mother meant to say but he nodded anyways. His mother was one of the Grand Warriors all over the Arcadia Kingdom.
She has more expertise in this field compared to him. Advice from experienced people wouldn't always come, even if they're not important, listen to them. Someday, hopefully, that advice will help him with future problems.
"I understand, mom."
She flipped her hands at each other and give him a big smile, Centurion who sensed he is being scanned by his mother, gulped down his breath.
"Let me tell you about Aura, "his mother starts to open her mouth again, "aura has eleven shapes that imitate various kinds of beasts. Erymanthian, Fenrir, Bacchus, Falcon, Simphanzee, Amalthaea, Bjorn, Pegasus, Serpent, Centzon Totochtin, Bison."
She continues after taking a breath,
"each of them has its corresponding advantages and disadvantages."
His mother tells him about the eleven types of Aura, Centurion is amazed by this new information. As he is amazed, he is also curious about what type of Aura would he let out.
"Wow, Mom, then how do I know which type am I?"
"I don't know either."
Hearing his mother's blunt words, he forgot how to speak.
"Each warrior's Aura would manifest itself when dawn time arrives, before that no one knows."
That sentence is logically true but he is still speechless after hearing his mother's words. Could she say something else than rather blunt words instead?
"I will manifest my Aura and you would guess which type am I, if it's correct, I'll give you a gift."
Glancing at his mother's eyes, he tries to open his mouth but words couldn't get out. He encourages himself once more time.
"Is it true?"
"Of course, it is." She grinned, "step back a little because I don't want you to get hit by the effect."
Centurion jumps back as his mother told and braces himself, his mother closes her eyes. Not long after, something felt different in her body.
The winds are whirling around making her body in an orbit, and coming out of her back is a gigantic beast with limbs no legs, and a long and slender body. Its majestic head has the same big as its body. Its mouth opens and shows four sharp fangs on top of its jaw. Its coils around his mother's body with blue emphasis color.
Centurion knows what type of Aura his mother had.
His mother has a serpent type of Aura because the shape of the Aura is similar to the serpent beast he had seen in his father's book.
"No answer, no gift."
"Huh?... Ah!"
Only at this time, he remembers that his mother wanted to give him a gift if he makes a correct guess based on her Aura type, but because he didn't say anything, he didn't get any. Let bygone be gone, it's already late chance anyway so he lets the matter go.
He guesses the correct one in his head, that alone is already an increase in progression.
She released her Aura. It vanishes and creates a wave of winds rippling toward Centurion, He covers his eyes with his hands to shield his eyes from the dust.
His mother is back to the usual state like nothing has ever happened.
