Ch.8: The power of the Aura
-Hajime: Well, today you will learn something that will help you in your tasks and fights which is the aura surrounding you. You can finish simple battles with the power of your aura but in the strong ones you need force to end them.
-Akihiro: And how can we control it, Hajime?
Hajime smiles with a look of happiness..
-Hajime: well done with this question. The answer is easy, the aura depends on feelings, even when you don't control it, it's around you but in the inert state. The more powerful your feeling get, the greater the intensity but its expansion depends on your strength. The more you train and increase your stamina and strength, the greater your ability to expand to a farther distance. And the stronger your feelings, the greater the intensity and the more you will affect others. Of course you are asking me how there is fighting between auras. The idea is that the stronger and powerful is the one to break the aura surrounding the other person, making him feel it. But this is only used against the weak but even if the powerful feel it, they won't shake at all by it but it will make them know what you feel.
-Akio: Can someone control his aura and hide it completely?
-Hajime: Sure, you can but you should know how to control it.
The three try to control and expand it..
Hajime notices there is no result in their evolution without any stimulus. He doesn't see any vibration in the aura around them, which doesn't promise any interaction..
-Hajime: Ok then, we will try a stimulus.. let's try with you, Akihiro.
Akihiro looks closely and with interest to Hajime..
-Hajime thinking: ( Well, we can use this to solve this boy's mystery. I will try to remove some of the obscurity from his unknown past)

Suddenly, Hajime's face changes to a smile and eyes unleash contempt and evil..
-Hajime: Where is your stupid family? Leaving their son like that without any care, no foolish father could do this. Let them go to hell..
Akihiro is shocked but suddenly his face turns into furious and an unruly aura emerges from him which the room drowns in. An aura of great hatred and anger. A great thirst for blood and murder. Both Akio and Emmy fall down terrified with sweat falling from the intensity of their fear. Hajime and Hachiro are shocked by the intensity of those feelings..
-Akihiro: Take your words back, you scum.
Hajime is surprised by Akihiro’s words but he behaves rationally..
-Hajime: Ok, I take them back.
Akihiro then calms down and leaves in complete silence..
-Hajime thinking: ( What happened now? What happened to his family to feel all this anger and thirst for blood? How bad is the past if this boy to feel all these negative emotions?!)
Hachiro looks to Akio and Emmy..
-Hachiro: Will you still be sitting like this?
Both Emmy and Akio stand and Hajime looks seriously..
-Hajime: Well, Akio. You already told us about how you met Akihiro, but are you sure you don't remember anything about what happened to him when he was young? Didn't he tell you anything or did you notice anything strange?!
Akio tries to remember and then looks seriously to Hajime..
-Akio: No Hajime, he didn't tell me anything and he didn't do anything strange. I really don't understand why he doesn't tell me what had happened to him.
-Hajime : It is better not to insist on it, as you have seen it seems so painful that he doesn't want to speak at all or remember it. The idea here that I care about his past because I think it has a connection with how Akihiro got those two rare abilities and what is their condition with him, and did the Dioborikita really left him or it just a trick?

Akio and Emmy are shocked..
-Akio: What do you mean? Could she be there?!! Do you mean that Akihiro fool us?!!
-Hajime: Of course he doesn't fool us. I think that the Dioborikita didn't leave him and that she deceived him for some reason. I thought of it and this is an unusual behavior. Why didn't she kill him as long as she left him? I think she is hiding within him and waiting for the right time to reappear, just like the Celestial Dragon did.
- Akio thinking: ( I didn't expect to come to this situation one day, Akihiro. What does the future hold for us?)
-Emmy: Can we go to see him, Hajime?
-Hajime: Alright, go.
Both Akio and Emmy leave..
-Hachiro: What do you think, sir? Is Akihiro going to be a danger on us?
Hajime smiles enthusiastically..
-Hajime: Who knows Hachiro! Who knows! But I am ready for any possibility, I will crush him with my bare hands.
Akio and Emmy are looking for Akihiro but without trace..
-Akio: We didn't search the headquarters’ garden, let's go there.
They both go together and find him sitting in the garden behind the headquarters, his back towards it looking at the flowers in front of him..
-Akio: Akihiro.
Akihiro turns his head to find Akio and Emmy..
-Akihiro: Uh. Welcome.
-Emmy: Do you like flowers?
Akihiro smiles a kind and a nice smile..
-Akihiro: Yes. They remind me that one day I thought that this world is the most beautiful.
Akio and Emmy show sad faces hearing Akihiro’s words with his quiet and sad voice..
-Emmy: Akihiro, I completely believe that one day this world will comeback beautiful in your eyes..
-Akihiro: I don't think so, at least for the time being to see it like that.
-Akio: The world isn't eternal comfort, Akihiro. It must stand against you sometime. It's not completely comfort and not everything exhausted. Not all of happiness or grief, it's a mix of all this Akihiro. At least me and Emmy are something good that happened to you or you have another opinion.
He says it joking and smiling and Akihiro laughs a little laugh..
-Akihiro: Thank you. I hope for that day to come when I will see this world better than it was.
Emmy and Akio smile with a nod approving on his words..
To be continued…
