Chapter 92: More Learning

"Alright then, goodbye!"

I waved my hand and said farewell to Jessica and Ellen.

"Wait! You don't want to stop them?"

Ellen asked me why I'm not stopping Victoria from arguing.

"Hmm? She's free to do whatever she wants to do. Once she's got bored, she will go home. And I can just summon her anytime I want since she's my summon."

"…okay. It's weird now that I think about it. They are actually arguing with a monster. So weird… We will stay for a bit and tell Nana that we're quitting the party. " said Jessica.

This time, we said our farewell for real. I together with Angela, Kayla, Sophie, and Lina who has unsummoned Sunny, went home together. Ellen and Jessica choose to stay and told their party that they're leaving the party for good. Which means Victoria will catch up soon.

As for Ellen's party… Gladius wasn't it? I never heard that name in my previous life. I guess they must have been disbanded. Seeing how they can't get along among themselves it's obvious that they will disband. I guess that's why that old lady doesn't even try her best to stop her party members.

As for Ellen and Jessica in my previous life… I don't remember having heard their name either. I should have collect more information in my past life.

It has been only a few months since I time travelled, but I have regretted that I lacked information too many times.

As soon as we arrived at our new home, I called for Sonia and summoned Victoria.

"You're talking about age, now?! I'll tell you I'm at least a thousand year older than you! Wait! Where did they go?"

Seems like the argument getting more and more heated if she started to talk about her own age.

"You're still fighting?"

"Yeah! That old lady decided to side with those spoiled girls! Why did you summoned me too soon?!"

I ignore her question and looked at Sonia instead.

"How is it? Can you undo your own magic?"

"Umm… should I really undo it?" Sonia asked me.

"What's wrong?"

"I just… imagined that if my magic was undone, I will disappear. I don't want that."

"Well, it's fine. As long as you never charmed people I care, I don't mind if your magic stays. There's also one thing I'd like for you to try later, but we have something important to discuss."

I sat at the sofa in the living room with Victoria and Sonia stays floating in the air. The other girls also seems interested in our discussion, they choose to stay and listening closely to our talks.

"I have two things I want to talk with you two. First, tell me everything you know about aura. Second, tell me everything about the person who killed you two. There might be more questions later but those two are the most important things for me at the moment."

I raised both my index finger and middle finger.

The slime and the ghost looked at each other and then they tell me everything they know about aura first.

About Aura, no one truly knows everything about it. Some says that it's a substitute for magic. But the fact that even some Expert level mage in the past can use Aura as well, that theory was discarded. As for Master level mage, even in the past those people are rarities.

Then, Aura was commonly used for body and weapon reinforcement. Covering the whole body or part of the user's body, aura will increase the strength, endurance, and speed of the user's body. When used it on weapons or tools. They can be sharper and had stronger defense.

Those are what I already learnt from my previous life. That was why I got overconfident and got myself killed. I thought that just by reinforcing my strength alone are enough for me to join the war even though I have never kill anyone before.

After I had my first kill, I didn't think much of it and got used to killing already. But in the end, I got myself killed. Although I already killed the one who's responsible for my death, I still shouldn't get cocky again.

After returning to the past and awakened my magic element, surprisingly two of them, I practiced my body so that I could manifest my Aura again. I improved my physical ability surprisingly fast and finally able to manifest my Aura just a few months after that.

When I said it to Victoria and Sonia, they don't think it was too surprising for my growth in strength and stamina to increase rapidly.

"Roy, I think it was mainly because of your air element. Just like how ice element mage can resist cold and fire element mage can resist heat, air element mage can unknowing to the mage themselves, increase the amount of oxygen taken to their lungs and spread in their blood. That's should be what happened to you. The increase of oxygen in your blood can improve your physical strength rapidly." Victoria explained.

"I don't get what she's talking about, but it's a common sense for us in the past that air element mage can improve their strength faster than any other element. That was why most kids in the past wanted to have air element so they can be the strongest once they manifest their Aura." Sonia continued Victoria's explanation.

So air element was so popular in the past, huh? Although they were rare, Aura user who has air element were much more stronger physically than those with other elements. Although in the end, it depend on the people themselves.

And more importantly, we now know that introductory school actually didn't teach much in magic lesson. Mostly teaching about writing, reading, arithmetic, and history. As for magic, they only taught us the common sense like you cultivate like this, this element is useful, that element is weak to this element, and so on.

Even Angela just realize how she feel different right now.

"So the reason I don't sweat much anymore is because of fire element… I usually sweat a lot during the day. No wonder it was actually from my fire element… or maybe ice element?" said Angela.

We continued about the next use of Aura. Once people awaken their Aura, they can get special ability that their heart desire but the Aura user themselves doesn't know about it. And they need to defeat the enemy with ability similar or the same with the ability their heart desired.

Angela wanted to fly so she gained a pair of wings. Sonia wanted to seduce men so she's able to use charm magic to seduce men. I wanted to have be better in decision making so I gained ability to see everything.

And these abilities can grow more by defeating enemies, whether they are humans or monsters, with the similar abilities with what the Aura users have.

Then the third uses of Aura is materialize it. Aura user can materialize weapon or tools with their own Aura. They can also use it to lengthen the blade of a sword, or even making a steps in the air. This is how Aura user can run in the air. Once Aura users get into this stage, none of them carrying weapon anymore.

I haven't been able to use this yet. They told me that I need to be more powerful until I can walk on air. Maybe my air element magic can help me to walk on air. But I also need to raise its level as well. Where can I find air element magic stones?

"I don't know where you can find them but I know how to make them."

"What?!"

I was surprised to hear that I can make my own air element magic stones on my own from Sonia. And looking that Victoria is surprised as well, I don't think she knows about it.

"Do you remember the ghost you exorcised before? Mr. Handsome with the perfect smile?"

"…that's a long nickname there. Was he an air element mage?"

"Yes, he was. He's also a rich man who sells air element magic stones for money. Although air element mages are rare, he became rich by putting a high price on things he created."

So, that ghost with a long-ass nickname was an air element mage who somehow unable to awaken his Aura. He's making a living by selling expensive air element magic stones to Aura users with air element magic.

Sonia continued explaining how to make the magic stones. It was quite simple. I just need a powerful container and compress the air inside of that container as much as possible after putting some magic stones in it. Any type of magic stones is good because their elements can be changed into air element. But using a normal magic stones without any element in it will make the qualities of the air element magic stones higher.

Right now, most normal magic stones that have no elements are used by researchers for creating magical tools like. That was why I never see them in my previous life as well. Once a location of where such magic stones can be mined are found, the kingdom took control of it. That was why normal magic stones are much more difficult to find than other elements.

Maybe the unknown magic stones I gave to Sam from the dungeon are normal magic stones? Victoria doesn't know about it but maybe Sonia can.

After putting magic stones inside a powerful container and compressed the air inside of it, and just by leaving it be for a few days, the elements inside the magic stones will change.

Finally I found a way to improve my air element magic faster.
