From the very next day, Theo's true torture began.
And it wasn't because of training his swordsmanship, but because he had declared such an unrealistic goal to his father.
The goal to manifest his aura.
Usually, manifesting one's aura took months, or even years, depending on one's talent.
And while someone like Cedric Merrick had managed to manifest a minuscule amount of aura within months, reaching a significant level had taken him at least a year.
But that was talent. The most difficult part about aura was acquiring it in the first place. Once that ability was added to a person's status, the progress of their prowess could be measured quantitatively.
For now, all Theo had to do was train his body. His sword strikes were good in technique, but they severely lacked power, even though his raw strength was above average for his level.
