The Kind of Evil

Chapter 19 - 19: Aura.

Rasmus put the stack of books on the table that he had taken from the bookshelves. He began to indulge himself with the first book he opened, but suddenly he heard soft moans from the corner of the library. He sighed and manipulated the air around him, making it denser so the sound couldn't travel to his ears.

The first book he read was a book about Aura, another form of Mana. It was something that he didn't find in Henry's bookstore.

"Aura is when someone manipulates the flow of Mana. Consuming Mana and turning it into a primal force is basically what an Aura is..." Rasmus read the page he was holding. "Unlike sensitivity levels, Aura can be trained by consuming Mana into a human body, manipulating the Primal Force to its limit..."

Rasmus stopped reading and went to the bookshelves to find information about Primal Force. He had never heard of that because Henry's bookstore was filled with historical events and not much about Mana and magic. Once he got the book about Primal Force, he went back to the table and began to read it.

"Primal Force is a measurement of each individual's strength and how much they can achieve in life. Every human has a different amount of Primal Force, some can barely train and still can outdo some who have trained their whole life..." Rasmus muttered as he learned about Primal Force.

"Primal Force can't grow, but re

Since his room was on the ground floor, the crack affected the foundation of the building. He heard people panicking outside his room and they were all looking around for the source of the immense power.

He didn't care about them and went to the kitchen to drink because he suddenly felt thirsty and hungry, but then Arnoldi barged into his room, finding the source of the problem. He could see the massive crack and a small crater on the floor. His eyes were wide open and his head turned a bit red from anger.

"You! You should know that we don't allow the use of magic in here!" Arnoldi shouted at Rasmus who was casually drinking his water, making the other find out what had happened.

"I didn't use magic," Rasmus responded as he looked at his left hand. He could feel a tingling sensation all over his body, especially his foot which had become numb.

"We are not blind! We can see the damage you caused over there," Arnoldi pointed at the big crack and a small crater on the floor. "Call the Chancellor, she needs to see this." He ordered one of the staff

Rasmus didn't panic and casually leaned against the wall as he held his glass of water. He also wanted to see Lenin's reaction because he wanted to know if she would give him a warning or not.

It didn't take a while until Lenin came in with Julian, and when they looked at Rasmus's room, they saw the damage he had caused. Arnoldi told them what had happened and he asked Lenin to punish Rasmus for using magic in the dormitory.

"There's no trace of magic here," Lenin pointed out as she looked around the room with narrowed eyes. Since she was a Great Sage, he could tell if Mana was used for magic or not.

"It's not magic..." Julian muttered as she walked into Rasmus's room to look at the damage on the floor. "This is caused by a strong Aura..." she furrowed her brows and was unsettled by what she found when she brushed her fingers on the damaged floor.

Lenin and Arnoldi were mildly shocked when Julian pointed out it was caused by a strong Aura.

"Instructor Blackheart, when did you learn to use Aura?" Lenin stared into Rasmus's eyes.

"Just now," Rasmus answered as he showed the book he had read earlier to Lenin.

Lenin couldn't believe that someone could learn how to use Aura which was supposed to be a complicated and dangerous process. She was baffled because the Blackheart family excelled only in magic and not in physical strength. Not a single Blackheart for centuries could handle Aura because they weren't blessed with a big amount of Primal Force.

"(Rasmus Blackheart...)" Lenin stared at Rasmus with her brows furrowed. "(Is it because your parents that you're excelled both in magic and physical strength that you can achieve both at the same time?)" She closed her eyes and shook her head.
