"Did you just say aura?"
I looked very confused
"Yes, is there a problem?"
He looked at me with shocked eyes and said
"Only people who have surpassed the master realm of mastery can use aura. Which is commonly aquired in their third year of studying at the academy"
I looked very confused, we had a moment of silence until John said "Don't tell me….you didn't know about any of this"
"…"
"Hah, let me fill you in, so when you first get a hold of basic swordsmanship you are at a stage called starter realm of mastery, when you master the basics of a swordsmanship style you are at a stage called minor realm of mastery, when you master the complex parts of a swordsmanship style you are at a stage called advanced realm of mastery, when you master the swordsmanship style and use a bit of aura you are at a stage called master realm of mastery, when you can use aura freely whenever you want you are called a swordmaster. You got everything?"
"I rougthly got it"
"Thats good enough, well i guess we're acquaintances now"
