"So, have you ever heard of aura amalgamation?" Nozomu inquires.
"Aura Amal-what?" Tanjo asks, now being confused.
Tanjo and Nozomu can still be seen sitting at the dinner table, the food now being eaten into more since last time.
"Aura amalgamation, UH-MAL-GUH MAY-SHUHN." Nozomu corrects, sounding out the somehow puzzling word.
"Okay, but what does that word have to do with what happened earlier?" Tanjo questions, still apparently being stumped.
"It's what you seemingly have; it is a combination of auras. Allowing you to use techniques of the aura in use." Nozomu announces, piquing the interest of Tanjo before speaking again, "In this case, your magic sense would be doubled, considering you have more magic sense than the average person. But also risking an even bigger drawback when overusing your magic."
Just as Nozomu finished explaining this condition, Tanjo began to take all this information in, now being both exceedingly happy and extremely worried.
"S-so you're saying I can use more than one aura!?" Tanjo nearly yells out, making Nozomu cover his ears reflexively from the sudden noise. "And I can use more aura than the average folk!?"
Just as Tanjo stopped interrogating, Nozomu took his hands off his ears and gave an agitated look, "Please, don't yell in the home. And yes, all of those things are what I 'just' explained. But like I said earlier, try not to release your magic sense to the point where it becomes visible. Aura amalgamation is not a very normal thing to come by. And when people spot something new and potentially dangerous, they do anything they can to get rid of it or detain it." Nozomu warned. 'Not to mention that a huge tyrant might have had a role in spreading that fear.'
Once hearing the warning, Tanjo attained a petrified expression. "T-THAT'S NOT FAIR, I WAS ONLY BORN LIKE TH-!" Tanjo, for a second time, yelled. Before getting a karate chop on top of his head, stopping his rant.
"I said no yelling! And who said life was fair? This is why I'm warning you. Just heed my warning. Now, it is time for bed. Goodnight." Nozomu stated, then stood up shortly after to wash his plate and proceeded to go to bed.
Now leaving Tanjo in a daze with mixed emotions, staring creepily at his food before Nozomu hollers from his room.
"GO TO SLEEP!"

THE NEXT DAY
Tanjo, Akogare, and Nadameru can be seen sitting next to each other at their desks in school. Waiting for some very late students, "aaAAH! When are they going to get here, it's only the second day!" Akogare complained about the fact, 3 students were 10 minutes late.
Then, the door could be heard sliding open. Shortly after, the remaining students walked in.
"Ninki Meisei, Shizen Utsukushi and Senko Sukudo. Where have you been?" Mr. Oshieru lightly demanded, with a half-tired, half-mad look. Lazily sitting in his chair.
"Sorry sensei, our original path to school has been blocked for unforeseen reasons. Mid-class warriors were just blocking the path." Utsukushi answered calmly, hoping that they won't receive a punishment.
"Oh, alri-." Mr. Oshieru tried to speak before getting interrupted.
"YOU SEEN MID-CLASS WARRIORS, HOW MANY WERE THERE, DID YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THEM, DID YO-!" Akogare questioned, filled with excitement. Before getting an eraser thrown at his head by Mr. Oshieru, eliciting a small 'ow'.
"Why are you always so loud?" Questions Mr. Oshieru before turning back to the late students, "also, you're excused. Now, moving on to what we're doing today!" Reassured Mr. Oshieru, then declaring a class activity.
"We are going to strengthen our resistance to drawbacks from our magic, as you know. If we overuse our magic sense, we start to feel the effect of our magic taking a toll on our bodies. The most common cases are random burning sensations appearing throughout the body, varying on how much magic is being used in different parts of the body.
"Another case is a numbing feeling that spreads throughout the body as if our nerves are giving out on us." Mr. Oshieru announces, somewhat scaring the first-year students.
"S-sir?" Tanjo calls out with a hand slightly raised.
"Yes, Nozomu?" Respondes Mr. Oshieru.
"What's the worst drawbacks can do to someone, like anything serious or permanent?" Tanjo nervously asks, hoping for a positive answer.
"Permanent damage from drawbacks are possible, but only if your body is not in shape or the magic you're using is too strong for you." Mr. Oshieru somewhat assured.
"Now, any more questions?" Asked Mr. Oshieru.
"Yeah, I-."
"ALRIGHT, TIME TO GO OUTSIDE!"
_______________________________________
The set of blue aura'd first years are seen outside their school with their teacher standing in front of them as the students form a line.
"Alright! We're going to do a contest, whoever can perform a magic attack away from anything important the longest wins and gets to rest throughout the next lesson!" Declares Mr. Oshieru.
The next thing he knows, all of the students are running in different directions to their own areas, getting in a position to set in their magic.
"Alright, now when I start this timer. I want all of you to start using magic, Now.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"GO!" Orders Mr. Oshieru as each student began firing off magic.
Each student can be seen firing off small beams made of magic into the sky, but then.
*BOOM*
Tanjo lets out a 20-foot wide beam, a scorching blue laser being directed into the sky. Seemingly reaching the clouds.
"Ooooh." Awwed the students as they watched Tanjo produce a powerful beam, still producing magic themselves.
"Stop looking at him and focus!" Demanded Mr. Oshieru.
After about 1 minute, Nadameru gave out and started feeling a burning sensation, starting in her hands and traveling all the way up to her forearms.
"Aarrgh!" Nadameru irked as she stopped pushing out a beam of magic.
"1:08, Nadameru." Announced Mr. Oshieru.
Then, roughly 30 seconds later, Meisei gave out as well. Gaining a similar burning pain.
"1:43"
Soon, Akogare stopped shooting magic. But feeling his arms go numb
"1:55"
Shortly after. Utsukushi and Sukudo gave up around the same time.
"2:03, Utsukushi." Announced Mr. Oshieru as he then stated Sukudo's time. "2:05"
Once they were recorded, Mr. Oshieru noticed that Tanjo was still going, the time reached three minutes before Tanjo's arms started shaking slightly. At three minutes and thirty seconds, Tanjo started to feel more and more of a scorching sensation travel through his arms, feeling as if his arms were dragged through lava.
Suddenly, Tanjo stopped producing magic and dropped to the ground on his knees, "AAARGH, THAT HURTS!" Screeched Tanjo.
Only looks of amazement can be seen on the whole classes faces, including Tanjo. Who's face is actually showing half amazement, half pained.
"Well..... Damn!" Marveled Mr. Oshieru, then stating.
"3:37"

I finally posted a chapter, and this one was fortunately longer. But at least Tanjo's condition was explained and the second day of school is being played out.
I hope you enjoyed it, Peace.
