The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 456: Her Change of Heart

“How is it?” Sophie asked me as I was checking on Angela’s body with my Divine Vision.

“She fainted because of the pain. I punched her too hard for her to endure. I guess no matter how powerful your magic is, if you are not used to pain, you will still end up losing with just two hits. It’s no wonder that the so-called Evil God is afraid of Aura users. They can’t take damage. Although in the war we will fight mostly mages, we need to prepare about the monsters they will use and have our body well-protected,” I said.

“But it’s not like we can just start training our body now,” Kayla said.

Before I said anything, I turned the cameras on me and Angela off so that no one can hear us. though I will still tell some people about it.

“The Blobbies I gave you should be able to turn into a flexible armor that won’t hinder your movements. Learn to transform those Blobbies at will. If your Blobbies aren’t enough to form into some sort of protector, tell me so I can give you more. I can’t tell this to everyone because everyone will want it. Also, have Sam to gather as many protective equipment as possible to give to everyone. Something light and easy to move in for mages,” I said.

I thought that a mage should have more advantage against an Aura user who fight in close range. But because of Angela’s blunder of not fighting in the way she used to, I can win with just two punches. Although those punches were not at my full strength, it was still strong.

If we fought monsters that fight in close combat during the war, we will lose. Even the Artificial Master level mage I fought, the mohawk girl, had a stronger body than most mages.

.....

I told everyone to train their body, but the most that they did is to train their speed and stamina. Not endurance of their body. But as long as they keep the fight from distance, they should be able to win.

I don’t want them to focus on other strength. They can continue practicing their magic. Probably, by improving their barrier magic, or have them use magic to create armor like Angela did.

“Angela is fine if you cast healing magic on her ribs and her inner organs around this area. She doesn’t lose any blood at all. Just a good rest and she will recover quickly,” I said while pointing on the area where the ribs are broken.

“No need for surgery? Then why are we here?” Sophie asked.

“I’m panicked, okay? If the strongest mage among us got injured too badly, I can’t calm down,” I said.

With that, there’s nothing else that Sophie and I could do. But if there’s something I forgot...

“Ah! I forgot to bring Sonia back with us. Well, she can travel here on her own. It should be fine,” I said.

“But it will take time, right?” Sophie asked.

“But it should be fine. Kayla, if you’re done, we’re going home.”

After Kayla finished healing Angela, I carried Angela back and let her rest in her room. I also see other people who watched, and they told me that they learned a lot.

Just what did they learn? The sparring session was over too quickly in a disappointing way. Angela could be much stronger than that, but she chooses to fight different way. Well, at least now Angela knows to not use the same method of fighting, unless it’s against an opponent who is clearly weaker than her.

Her strategy is good for capturing the enemy, but not good for a fight. Though if I’m not being covered by Victoriarmor, I might be the one losing the spar in the end. Getting burned by ice is a painful way to lose. Not just for the body, but also for the mind.

And element with the property of another element will make anyone who is unprepared lose their mind while screaming in pain.

If Angela used that last magic from the start, I would never be able to get close to her at all. The chance of victory is zero.

Now that the spar is over, I will have to return to watching over the vampires for the next three weeks. After that, I need to prepare for the raid. Though I can have the others watching over the vampires. I doubt they will break the rules after seeing how much fun they have in this world.

Although the extremely hyped spar is over, I’m not tired at all. I even managed to get some rest during the spar. I guess I’ll find something to do.

I’ll just watch the vampires who are helping the guards keeping the city safe. Seems like Arin is also helping them today.

“How is it? Have you adapted to this world?” I asked Arin as soon as I reached her. We’re on a rooftop of a building.

“Pretty much, yeah. It’s a good place,” Arin replied.

“What about your desire to drink blood?”

“It’s not bad. We even received blood bag from the hospital thanks to you. Although drinking it directly tastes better, it’s still good enough for us. Though I want to ask you to get some blood form stronger people,” Arin said.

“Can’t do that. Unless they are near their expiration date. I guess the closest time you can have one is in a month after someone donated their blood,” I said.

I have told our friends about the benefit of donating blood. And some of our expert level mages have done it right away after I told them. Once the expiration date of the blood is discovered, there will be more blood for the vampires to have. Though we can’t let them drink any blood donated by our friends until they are near expiration date.

As for the blood of the royalties, the vampires won’t get a taste of them. Albert said it’s just in case someone is trying to do something with the blood of royalties.

“That’s fine. At least we can use the expiring blood to good use. Though I hope they won’t taste bad,” Arin said.

“By the way, there’s a thief entering that shop. What do you want to do?” I said to her while pointing at the shop the thief entered.

“I didn’t notice that. I’ll knock him out and drink his blood. Oh, there seems to be rumors spreading in the city about vampires. Not a bad rumor though. It’s just about us drinking blood of bad guys,” Arin said.

“If the people can accept you, you might not need to live in hiding anymore. I’ll try to have Albert get his people to spread more rumors about vampires around the kingdom. This way, once you are truly needed, you won’t have to hide yourself about being a vampire. Well, that might take a long time so be patient,” I said.

“Don’t worry. At least I enjoy this life. I’ll be leaving first. I have a thief to catch,” Arin said as she flew to where the thief is. I don’t think he’s a powerful mage, but even if he’s powerful, I doubt he can do anything to Arin.

After walking around in the night, I returned back with my portal to my room to see that Angela is there waiting for me.

“You need to rest more. You just had your ribs broken,” I said.

“Roy. Do you think I can be as powerful as me from your past life? I think even though we’re the same person, we have different reason to grow stronger,” Angela asked.

“You’re worrying about that? That Angela doesn’t exist in this world. And you’re already much stronger than when I witnessed her power back then. Even if you have different reason to grow stronger, that’s not a problem as long as you still want to get stronger,” I replied.

“...I was too proud with my new strength that I thought I can do other things. But I guess fighting the normal way is what you like most, right?”

Liking her way of fighting? I never thought of that at all. I said that because I know she is much more powerful if she used magic normally. No need to think much about plan or strategy, and use brute force to break through everything. That’s the simplest and easiest way to fight.

“Rather than the way of fighting that I like, I like the Angela who fight that way. You are best in using brute force to defeat your enemies and I like that. Kayla is best at using her brain and I like that. The others also the same. Lina’s cooking, Sophie’s desire to learn medicine, Candy’s way of thinking as a former spy, and everyone as well. Do what you’re good at and what you want. From our spar, I can tell that even though you are trying to trap me, you don’t look like you wanted to do it. That will only make you weaker,” I said.

“I see. Sorry about the spar. I’m not myself at the time,” Angela said.

“Get some rest. You need it. I don’t know what happened with you that make you think you’re not yourself, but I hope you can solve it. Good night,” I said.

“...good night,” Angela said before leaving my room.

Now, it’s just Victoria and me.

“What?” I asked Victoria who is watching me.

“You know why she’s here, right?” Victoria asked.

“I’m not that dense. Of course I know. Though I don’t know how she changed,” I said.

“Then, what’s your answer?”

“The same as usual. I won’t make a move, but if she does first, I’ll accept her.”

“Sigh... you know that she has fallen for you. Why won’t you be the one confessing if you’re going to accept anyway?”

I know that Angela has somehow fallen for me. Though I don’t know why.

She was someone who is long for romance. I know that back when I first become Kayla’s lover. And she should have known that I’m not a romantic man at all.

“Anyway, she knows that I won’t make a move on her. I guess she’s still sorting her mind before she can be forward with her feeling. I’ll wait for her until then. Though if she ended up going with another man, that’s fine as well as long as she’s happy.”

With how close we are to war; I don’t want to have my mind occupied with trying to get another woman to be my lover. If she confesses, I’ll agree. If she won’t confess, I won’t do anything.

I need to destroy the cult until I can be at peace. No matter how many women I have, as long as the cult exist, I won’t have a peace of mind.

“...your trauma is so severe,” Victoria said.

“...you’re right.”
