"How is this even happens!?!?"
I slam my head on my bed in frustration. Of all things that I hope from Aura, I was expecting a basic shit. Well, I finally did get what I want.
Except for something so basic, everyone is making a big deal about it!
Apparently, combining Aura and Mana was considered as impossible even to the famous Aura and Mana users as every attempts they did to do so always resulting in failure.
And I somehow got a unique skill that allows me to combine both!!!
"I have to saw, your unique skill is something that I didn't expect as well." Andri, you did not help at all.
"How did the US lottery even works? Does it obtained by random or is it based on what your innate talents are?" I asked as Andri shrugs.
"Aura is still a topic that no one has ever discuss much." I groan before slamming a pillow on my face. "Oh, stop whining will ya? You got a skill that is perfect with your attitude."
"What was that suppose to mean?!" I asked. What is he even implying?
"You love experiments with your magic no matter how many times we told you to stop, allowing you to discover new type of power which people believe to be impossible, like your anti-magic. Receiving a skill that allows you to fuse anything that suppose to be impossible is exactly perfect for you." I simply stare at him before falling to my bed.
"I hate my life." I mutters.
"Why do you even hate such thing?" Andri asked in confusion.
"Let's see. A unique skill that never exist will surely attract attentions from anyone. Then, it'll attract people like Soul Hunters toward me either for selling me to slavery or kidnap me to either 'study' the skill or brainwash me to join their sides!" I ranted before staring at Andri who gives a deadpan look.
"You read too much book, Matt." I facefault at his deadpan reply.
"I'm not joking! An unknown power always attract bad shits!!" I exclaimed.
"And I won't let that happen, champ." I turn to see Dad entering my room.
"H-hey dad." I said while trying to regain my composure.
"I'll be honest, seeing you making a sword made of aura and mana at the same time nearly gave me heart attack." Dad chuckles before petting my head. "But, I can see where your worries came from. So, don't worry. I won't let that happen, and you'll train yourself so you won't be defenseless."
"I guess....." I mutter while rubbing my arm.
"Do you really hate it that much?" Dad asked.
"No, but the unnecessary attention it brought isn't something welcoming. And Sir Leon just have to show it to the whole village." I groan in annoyance. "I hate attentions, it's very unpredictable. It can be good or bad, and we won't be able to know which is which till its too late."
"I can see your worries, but don't hate a part of yourself just because it could attract bad attentions. You can't exactly blame an item with no consciousness to attract bad people just for existing." I looks at my hand before sighing.
"You're right, dad. I guess I was a bit too paranoia after the Spirit Hunters..." I mutters as dad ruffles my hairs.
"Being paranoid is fine, but don't let it affect you too much." I simply nodded. "Now, how about I explain more about aura."
"Yeah, okay." I smile at dad who sits down next to me as Andri joins us on our laps.
"Aura is a spiritual energy that allows human to go beyond their limits. Strength, durability, senses, agility, you name it." Dad said while showing his own aura, a familiar gold glow from that night. "In fact, you can do more than just that, like a flying slash, speed rush, etc."
"...so, aura made humans do impossible shit even without magic." I simplified before dad flicks my head. "Oww!!"
"Language." Dad deadpanned. "But, yes. Aura broadens the possibility in human potentials."
"Does creating swords made of aura count as well?" I asked.
"Most aura users are only skilled enough to enhance their sword and create a layer of blade on said sword, but a whole sword is never happen before." Dad said while rubbing his cheeks. "But then again, perhaps people just never got a chance to do so. Mastering to coat your sword with aura took a long time."
".....I have a bad feeling about this." This causes dad to laugh.
"What? You afraid you'll master it in short time like you did with all the magic lessons with mom?" Dad joked.
"Dad, I'm not that skilled to do such impossible tasks. The only reason why I get to learn magic easier is due to sciences from my world." I said while rubbing my forehead. "Supernatural like spirits isn't my forte."
"Bah! I bet you'll breeze through it!" Dad laugh.
"I hope not." I deadpanned before remembering something. "Hey, dad, what's your Unique Skill?"
"Weapon Master." Dad said with a giant grin. "It gives me power boost and mastery over any weapons I use."
"Including a hoe?" I asked.
"Well, I mean, some weapons were farming tools before it recognizes as weapon." Dad try to explain himself.
"You could just say yes instead of that excuse." I deadpanned.
"What's the fun in that?" I snort before we all laugh. "So, have you experiments with your Unique Skills?"
"Not yet so far. Too bust ranting about the future." I mutters.
"Usually, Unique Skill is more than what it seems. Like for examples, Weapon Master didn't just grant me mastery over weapons, it increases the weapon's strengths and it also give me a temporary skill to help me with the weapon I give." I nodded.
"And lemme guess, a hoe gives you a skill named Plow?" I asked in deadpannes manner.
"H-how did you know?" Dad asked in baffled manner.
"Dad...what do you even do with hoe other than plowing the field?" Dad has a decency to look sheepish. "So, I can do more than just combining aura and mana?"
"Yup. And who knows, maybe you can even combine anti-magic with aura?" This made me think about the possibility. I decided to try to access anti-magic.
"Eh?" I blink as I can see misty blue energy comes out of my palm. Is this my mana? I thought pure mana is invisible to naked eyes.
"Son, your green eye is glowing." I blinked. So, another aspect of my unique skill, huh? Okay, I guess I'll try anti-magic now.
From my experiment, mana consist of 8:2 ratio of positive and negative energy. And in order to access anti-magic, I need to change the ratio to 0:10 due to large doses of negative mana could converts positive energy to negative energy instantly, hence called anti-magic.
Basically, too many negative number in addition will results in negative results.
It's kinda easy to create anti magic, you simply needs to change the ratio to 4:6 and let it do the rest.
The hard part is that you need an advanced level of control to keep it stabilize. And mana control is a perfect help as the advance level of mana control will ask you to control the positive and negative energy inside mana.
Apparently, this unique skill manage to give me visions to differentiate both energy in my mana, a red for negative and blue for positive.
The overwhelming amount of positive energy really made it hard to see the negative energy, but I successfully detects them. As I let the negative energy duplicates by let it infects the positive energy, black lightning starts to appear from my palm. Okay, if I pour aura....
Bzzt!!!
I widen my eyes as the familiar blade appears but this time, it's a pitch black blade with blue glows on the edge.
Holy shit, anti-magic sword baby!!!
"Haha! Awesome!!" Dad cheered as I grin back to him.
Perhaps this unique skills isn't so bad after all.
