"Yeah? I still feel like I haven't recovered a bit."
Alena helplessly sat back on the ground.
"Of course, you haven't. That was just imagination." Tyler chuckled as he replied.
"Wait, I don't understand. How is it an imagination when you said it can help me with Aura awakening?" Alena stared at him with some confusion.
At this moment, even Tyler didn't know how to answer this question. He only knew that he had done the same with Rose.
And, Rose managed to awaken her Aura quite faster than him, and her Aura was also stronger than his during the awakening.
Of course, his Aura did get stronger with time.
Misaka saw through his problem and quickly spoke.
"Sir, let me!"
Tyler felt a bit relieved and nodded.
Misaka placed her finger on her mind and said.
"Our mental energy comes from our soul, but the soul also has some important parts."
"After all, the soul is no different than a body except it is intangible and exists on a spiritual level."
"So, when we train, when we fight, every part of our body improves. But the brain doesn't improve that much. To say it doesn't improve wouldn't be a lie."
"Yes, we do get experience, but that experience affects our soul more than our body. For normal humans, it will be their mental growth."
"But for us, it is an experience needed to improve our souls so that we can produce more mental energy."
At this moment, Tyler suddenly interrupted.
"Wait, so this thing helps us because we don't have a direct method to improve our souls. Even the Natural Fruit exists to help our body than our soul."
Misaka nodded with a smile and continued.
"Yes, sir! That's why, after awakening Aura, people start to recover their mental energy faster. It's because Aura directly tempers their soul."
"But most of the time, we need Aura to clash with Aura. If we don't have it, the opponent's Aura will crush our body and soul."
Alena blinked her eyes and said.
"No wonder I felt so horrible at that moment. So, my body and soul were affected by Aura?"
Misaka nodded and continued.
"But as I said before, mental energy comes from the soul, and the soul also has important parts. Its most important part will be this area where our brain resides."
She pointed at her brain once again and explained.
"So, when you use your Willpower to fight against the side effects of Aura, you are actively using your brain to command your soul to release more mental energy."
"This is important. It does make your soul weaker, but it's just like an exercise. You feel weak after doing it, but if you do enough, you will get stronger."
"So right now, you are feeling weak, but you also manage to persevere, which means your soul will get stronger after a proper recovery."
"A stronger soul means more mental energy. So, when you reach Second Rank, there will be a higher balance between physical energy and mental energy."
"This gives you a huge boost in Aura during your awakening."
Tyler couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Tsk! If I knew this was the case, I would've waited for a few months before reaching Second Rank."
"Why, sir?" Rose gave him a confused look.
Tyler shook his head and said nothing.
He couldn't say he met an Eighth Rank hunter during his fifth month after coming to this world.
'I wonder what that man is doing right now.'
......…..
"I say chance, you say Dance."
"To reach the top, you must have love."
"Say it with me, I say chance….. You say Dance!"
A middle-aged man in a black-and-white suit and hat stood before hundreds of strange creatures, showing off his dance moves.
There was music coming from a huge speaker in the background, where two people were standing and guarding it.
He raised his right leg, kicked in the front, shook his waist, and waved his hands.
Each of his words resonated with nature. Every word released a powerful element.
A massive fireball fell from the sky.
Two of the wolves jumped above the others and opened their mouth.
[Divine Wolf God Slash]
Two powerful slashes emerged from their mouths, moving towards the fireball and splitting it in half.
But the fireball was quickly followed by two large bolts of purple lightning.
Those two lightning bolts struck the wolves in mid-air, charring their bodies on the spot.
Thud! Thud!
Both of them fell to the ground, creating a massive crater.
At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly spun and started walking back in a style, with his feet slipping on the ground.
A massive hurricane came from the side, tearing apart the limbs of those monsters.
Blood splattered everywhere, and many monsters tried to block the wind.
"Hey, did you see that? Master has never used that move before."
One of the women guarding the speaker spoke with stars in her eyes.
"He must have created it. I think he came here to test this move."
"Master is still so awesome. Each movement he makes resonates with nature, summoning the power of the five elements."
"Come on, he is Eighth Rank. Even without these moves, he can easily kill these monsters."
"But have you noticed it? The number of these monsters is increasing. Master has been dancing for three hours now."
"Yeah! If Master hadn't gone on this hunting expedition, we wouldn't even know there were many monsters."
"It's scary to think about."
Their voices weren't small. They were speaking next to a loudspeaker. So, their voice was quite loud.
Even though the middle-aged man heard it, he ignored them and started waving his hands.
The next moment, a huge wave of a tsunami emerged from the sky, crushing those monsters with the weight of the water.
"Hey!"
He raised his index finger and pointed at one group of monsters while constantly raising his shoulders.
"Go!"
He raised another index finger and pointed at another group, doing the same thing again.
Two large bolts of lightning emerged from the sky, striking them with so much power that they shattered the ground and created a huge crater on the spot.
"Dance!"
"Come on, Dance with me!"
He started moving his legs up and down while twisting his waist. He was also spinning his arms next to his chest.
Clap!
Suddenly, he clapped both of his palms and separated his arms to the side, and pulled back his elbow while standing on his toes.
Then, he jerked forward with his middle section.
Suddenly, the earth shook. A heavy force emerged over those monsters, and before they could even react, their bodies were crushed on the spot.
The blood flowed like a river, and a massive hole appeared on the ground.
Clap!
Once again, he clapped and finally stopped moving his body.
"Alright, everyone! Thank you for watching my performance!"
He lowered his head towards the river of blood and station of dead meat as he saluted them.
"Mary, Jessie!"
He shouted.
"Yes, Master!"
Two girls immediately turned off the speaker and rushed towards their master.
"It's time to finish the job!"
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The middle-aged man clapped several times, and the two girls immediately started doing their job.
They took out a large metallic box and placed it on the ground. One of them pressed the top of the box while the other went in front of the box.
"Mary, do your job!"
Jessie shouted, and Mary closed her eyes.
She opened her mouth and started singing in a very loud pitch. Her voice was so strong that it started pulling the souls of those monsters.
"Tsk! I can't dance in this kind of music."
The middle-aged man pouted. His face was bright like a shining moon. He had black hair that was perfectly combed.
He stood six feet tall. His body was lean but with some muscles. His face had defined cheekbones with a sharp jawline.
He watched as the souls of those monsters poured into the metallic box. The pitch of this song, sung by Mary, was getting higher and higher.
Until not a single soul was left behind, where she finally stopped.
"Master Alex, job is done!"
They excitedly made a heart shape with their fingers and shouted as if the concert hadn't ended.
"Good job, my apprentices!"
Alex shouted back with some excitement.
"Now, let's spread our music to the world even more."
Their excitement suddenly faded as they showed a tired look and said.
"But Master, we have been doing this for three days straight."
Alex shook his head as he twisted his waist and said.
"No, no, no….. no, no, no…. No..No.Nooo.Nooo.Nooooo!"
As he made some tune with his voice and started shaking his head, he continued.
"What do we do?"
"We hunt."
"What do we do?"
"We sing."
"What do we do?"
"We dance."
"That's right! Mary, Jessie, the world is our concert, so we can't stop dancing."
As he kept vibing with his words, Mary and Jessie looked at each other and closed their eyes without a second thought.
Thud! Thud!
"Mary! Jessie!"
