In the meantime Ashoka and Karguel were talking, Paul put out the aura covering his wooden sword.
Yes, Paul used the Aura for the first time in front of others.
However, his face wasn't dyed in fear anymore. He seemed dispirited yet furious.
"Is this what you truly wish to happen, Young Master?"
He may be a coward, he may be from a fallen noble family, but he wasn't going to accept someone diss-respecting him like that.
"So you are able to use aura. In that case, you shouldn't hold back and make the most of it."
Ashoka had a hunch but to think that Paul indeed had Aura and was hiding it!
Now the fight was getting interesting.
Ashoka Maurya versus Jean Paul.
One of them was a prince of the empire and a monstrous beyond common sense whereas the other was a fallen noble family's heir and a coward to others.
The two of them had a short staredown.
