James may not have known it, but he was trying to accomplish one of those things that were even more difficult than the time elemental he had just gained, and if he could do it, and even if he couldn't do it fully, the benefit to him would be enormous.
As James was filled with these thoughts and trying to meditate at least and try to keep his aura under control, Vlad's voice was heard again:
"There was one thing my father always wished for. He hoped that one day there would be someone who could use magic and aura at the same time, or rather he hoped that there would be someone stupid enough to try to do it, after all, what kind of maniac would try to get magic and aura at the same time?"
James felt strangely embarrassed and hurt by these words, but what could he say? After all, James had unknowingly done it.
