The Only Aura User In Magic World - Chapter 831: My Victory is Obvious

831 My Victory is Obvious

Training usually meant that one needed to do it in order to surpass the limit. But That is not the only thing a training can do. Or in this case, it’s sparring.

Instead of fighting until one find their own limit then surpass it, what if there’s another meaning of training? For example looking for something that they can do, but they don’t know yet if they can do it? Learning another strategy? Finding the opponent’s weakness?

For some, it might not be considered as getting stronger. But what’s the goal of getting stronger? Isn’t it so that one can overpower their opponent?

Whether it’s to kill someone, to protect someone, because they enjoyed it, or many other reasons, the purpose of getting stronger is always the same. To overpower one’s opponent.

For me, I have a lot of problems in training. It’s because I’m not really specialized in one weapon. So I tried my best in various weapons and how quickly I can change my weapons. Either by getting Victoria’s ability to shapeshift into another weapons in my hand, or to swap a weapon already in my hand with another weapon.

Even if I can’t be as good as the Aura users in the past in their specialized weapon, if it’s in the past, I should be at least the best in using various weapons.

Just because I use any kind of weapons, that doesn’t mean that I’m what they call as jack of all trades, master of none. Well I might not be a master of something. But at least I could be expert in all trades.

Doesn’t that make me the master of various weapons? Maybe. Though I think if I fight an Aura user in the past specialized in just one weapon, and I limit myself to fight that Aura user with that same weapon, I will still lose. But if I’m allowed to use various weapons, I can have various strategy and winning is not impossible.

Anyway, what I’m talking about is that training doesn’t mean that one must surpass the limit. It also means that I can learn something else I can do within that certain limit.

…..

That’s why for this match against Wendy after she reached master level, I limited myself to not use my familiars other than Victoria. Because Victoria is the only one who will always be with me. Even if she doesn’t, I will always have loads of Blobbies I can transform into anything I want.

I always feel that I have more things I can do now that I have become an Aura Master. That’s why for a match like this one, I want to find out what else I can do.

We are fighting in the sky. With several monsters trying to follow us. I told them before the match that they have to keep their distance because wind mage’s attacks are mostly targeted for a large area. And they can get hurt just because they want to watch.

Well, since I have told them about it, they should be careful while we’re both trying our best.

For acceleration to reach the highest speed, I am better than Wendy. But Wendy’s top speed is higher than mine, so once she reached her fastest speed, it’s difficult for me to catch up to her. And using two guns, she can block the bullet approaching her easily. And not just that, she blow the bullets far away from her because she thought that she might end up inhaling the gas that I hid inside the bullet.

I guess this is how a fight between two sides who knows well about each other. But this also mean that I can figure out more about my weakness. And I can show her what weaknesses she has.

“Roy, when you swing your sword, as long as your opponent can see your sword movement, they can dodge it easily.”

Wendy said that after she dodged my slash from distance easily. She’s right. Most of the opponents I have faced are those who can’t even see my sword movement even if they are master level mages.

If the opponent is around Wendy’s level, then my long distance attack will be useless. Or that I have to surpass my limit. But the goal today is to find out more about my weakness that I need to cover.

“Thanks for mentioning. I know that as well. But don’t you think that it won’t do you any good if you tell me in the middle of a fight?” I asked.

“It’s fine. As long as you can’t catch up to me, I won’t lose,” Wendy said confidently.

I still think that there’s a way to beat her without breaking my limit though. I mean my stamina is obviously higher than her. As for mana, even if mine is lower than her, it’s not like I kept using mana all the time.

If I compare it, how long I can use Aura is already much longer than how long a master level mage can use magic continuously. So if it’s just a long fight, I will still win.

Her hope is only if she can hit me with magic from far. But because we’re both quite far away from each other, I can also see her magic from this distance. So I can avoid it.

Except that her magic has bigger area than my slash. So I need to get far away from her magic. Unlike Wendy who just need to move slightly to avoid my slash.

Should I make my slash bigger? But if I do, it ended up becoming slower.

Maybe I need to focus on just making my slash smaller and faster, or bigger but didn’t drop its speed.

When I do that, Wendy had more trouble avoiding my attack. But she still managed to escape and started attacking me again from distance. At least it’s better than when I used guns.

“How about this?”

Then, Wendy used her strong magic. Creating powerful hurricane that even pushed me.

Well, I’m in the air, so just a little bit of wind can push me. But this is a hurricane. And I’m far from getting the ground. I don’t have anything to step on except the air. But that’s still difficult.

Her wind is so strong that even I have problem moving my body in the air. I’m an Aura Master, you know? My physical abilities should be surpassing that of anyone. But I still can’t move my body freely.

If I use my Aura to the fullest, I can escape from this hurricane. In fact, that should be what I’m after since Wendy started to create a fire. Now it became a fire storm.

Still, I didn’t use Aura to escape from the fire storm. I just let my body follow the wind as I get blown by the hurricane around with Wendy at the center.

If I can use the wind created by the wind mage to get close to the enemy, then that’s what I should do. As for the fire, I’ll just protect myself with Aura and use air magic so that even the air that becomes the wind are not something that are flammable. This should save me for a few second.

And I can use that few seconds to use Aura for an instant to reach where Wendy is and hit her. This could be another way for me to fight wind mages in the future.

“You lose!”

Oh, wait. The wind is too strong that she can’t hear me. Well, that’s fine.

As I get closer to her, she instantly created a barrier made of wind and fire in panic. But that’s not a problem for me.

I just covered my arms with Aura and pushed through the barrier. Just one arm holding a gun entered her barrier and aimed directly at her head.

I can see her expression changed. Afraid of getting hit directly. And I quickly transformed the Blobbygun into just one small marble ball filled with a calming gas.

Then I flicked the marble into her mouth. Erasing the Blobby as soon as it enters her mouth so the calming gas will take effect in since it will enter her lung right away.

The winner is decided. Although none of us were harmed, it’s obvious who is the winner. Because if I decided to use the gun and not flicking a marble into her mouth, she could die. And she knows.

Maybe it’s the effect of calming gas. Or maybe it’s because Wendy has accepted her lost. But the fire storm stopped.

“You won, Roy,” Wendy said as I was free falling to the ground.

“Well, at least we both know more about each other’s weaknesses that we need to improve. That’s what’s important in a training,” I said.

Since there’s no more fire storm, she can hear me just fine even while I was falling.

I just need to land on the ground. This height is not a problem for me. fel. c

But instead, Wendy grabbed me and carried me like a princess as she helped me descending to the ground.

“…You don’t need to do this, you know?” I said.

“Are you embarrassed that your first love is carrying you like a princess?” Wendy teased.

“Now the embarrassment is doubled. Fuck you. Let’s go home.”

Yeah, I forgot that she knows that she’s my first love. This is getting more embarrassing even if it’s my second chance in life. Good thing there are only monsters watching us.
