Xavier held out his sword which was sheathed the whole time in his scabbard. He wasn't sure that it was the correct thing to do, but he had a gut feeling in this matter.
Like Lafia, he trusted his gut feelings immensely. They rarely ever disappoint him.
'I now possess both qi and mana… To truly awaken, I have to use this power at least once. Only then I can truly see the fruits of my efforts… and Lafia's gift.'
He raised his sword in an extremely familiar and practiced manner and imagined the qi running through his body. He tried the motion of using aura, but he soon found out that he wasn't able to. Even his qi was moving extremely roughly compared to him in the trials.
'Well, as expected. I'm not using the Supreme Demonic Arts anymore, the enlightenment of using aura was sealed along with that sword. I should not depend on it in the first place, since it is something that I may get dependent on in such early stages of my growth…'
