Chapter 116: Chapter 115: The White Flame.
"I hate you, we hate you"
Rein stood there, traumatised. He got himself together and asked, "Who are you guys?"
"huh, us? of course you wouldn’t know us"
They all spoke in unison this time, "We are you"
"We are your selfishness"
"Your regrets"
"Your hatred"
"Your despair"
"We are the emotions you neglected"
Rein rubbed his chin, "hmm, so in order words you are all that is not good about me"
Only one talked, "What a beautiful way to put it"
"Well I’m sorry but what am I supposed to say, what do you guys even want, what do you mean emotions I neglected"
"It’s funny how you have lived up until now being a facade, a liar, a pretentious bastard and then all if a sudden you want to claim the white flame"
"oh, that fire"
"Yes that fire is the purest form of you, untainted and righteous, indomitable and invincible, we will never let you have it"
"Whst the hell? What is you all deal?"
"Our deal? Our deal is that we cannot let you take the White flame"
They all spoke in unison again.
"Wait wait... isn’t that thing like a mirror of me, aren’t you all suppose to be like obeying me"
"Why would we, when you have allowed darkness into your heart"
"Ahh my head is really paining me, what the hell, I’ve never acted like a saint so why are you guys doing so, no matter how much I think about it, I have nothing to do with you all bullshit, lowed darkness into my heart?, my regrets?, my despair?, neglected emotions? You all are crazy, have you tried living in the outside where you have to worry about so much at the same time make sure you don’t die, you all are ganging up on me because I neglected my surprisingly negative emotions. What was I supposed to do? fuck with them? You all are just stepping stones for me to get better don’t act on your own accord!"
By the time he was done, he was huffing as if he was settling some long time scores.
They all smiled after Rein was done.
"Just like you said we are a stepping stone but even we are a part of you?, stuff like crying when you want to, getting angry when you want, hating someone that brought you pain, regretting your choices when they end up wrong. Don’t deny yourself of it, the road will only get tougher and tougher, if you bottle up too much you could break hence let it out, the number of times you wanna cry about missing your mom? the number of times you get scared upon making a decision, everytime you get scared at the beginning of a battle having no idea if you will win or lose but still will face being scared is not a crime, embrace us because we are a stepping stone to make you stronger. I said it before, the White flame is the purest form of you, indomitable, invincible and it’s a reflection of you, so it is who you are, you are not a saint, you are just Reinard. But be careful, there’s another one...sinister"
All of them disappeared and the white flame appeared in front of Rein As he was about to grab it a black flame also appeared next to it.
"What is this ?...the system is not saying anything it is as though its not here"
"Normally the white flame is what I need but why do I feel a rush of energy from the black flame, it’s like... ah let’s not be greedy "
The moment Rein stretched forth his hand and grabbed the white flame he returned back to reality, he got fatigued immediately and started to catch his breathe, it was dark already.
"How long was I out for?"
"7 hours"
"What the hell? Master you didn’t tell me there was a trial"
"What trial, i have never seen anyone take so much time on trying to obtain Aura. Seriously why does everything have to be different with you"
Rein stood up, "I can feel it, I think I have it"
"Unleash it"
Rein closed his eyes after some minute the airflow around started drying off it, the flying leaves got slower, Hlofgar looked at it and was amazed, "what is he about to -"
𝐾𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟ℎℎ
Rein’s aura fell on the atmosphere like a fast approach comet, the pressure caught Hlofgar by surprise that he was almost brought to his knees but pushed himself back up,
’What is this? This makes no absolute sense, this guy’s aura shouldn’t be - "
Hlofgar opened his mouth at what he saw next.
As Rein opened his eyes, his iris began to glow white as a white almost transparent flame. As Rein drew out his sword the flame wrapped Rein’s sword and the pressure got thicker, Rein’s eyeball glowed so much that his presence felt entirely different.

’I’m tempted to use it’
Rein raised his sword to cut his face in half, the regular stance of his strongest skill.
"Sword of the -"
"No you don’t " Hlofgar with all his strength slapped away the sword from his hand Rein got knocked back after the sword fell off.
"You bastard do you plan to kill me before my time comes"
"Ah, seriously master if its you, you can take care of it"
"You just got 10 times stronger and you think I can control that sword skill that almost cut me in half even when you were a weakling"
"Ahh Master thank you for the compliment " Rein blushed.
"I’m serious about it, that aura manifestation I have never seen that, all my years I have never seen anyone wield a white aura Reinard, the rough will get very tough for you from now on, you are not that Reinard anymore, start acting like a man of responsibilities because that is who you are Reinard, you have grown and will keep growing. I’m really glad that I am your teacher, go take a rest we shall continue on aura materialization tomorrow"
Rein thanked Hlofgar and ran with joy to his quarters.
Hlofgar smiled as he watched him run.
"I’m really getting old aren’t I?"
He clenched the left hand which he had used earlier to slap off Rein’s sword as the hand was now shivering.
He sighed and began to laugh.
*******
"Open status window" was the first thing Rein said as he reached his room and began to put off his clothes to take a shower.

"wow compared to before I’m beginning to feel the change, it’s more like my body has gotten more light. And my body seems to he more toned now"
Rein kept flexing his muscles in front of the mirror.
**********
Earlier Ulfur was with Arnette when he felt something strange and unfamiliar.
"Is anything wrong?" Arnette asked.
"is it because you are a juvenile or you are just dumb, it is weird how you didn’t feel that"
"Is there something I should -"
"hmm... don’t mind it"
Ulfur looked at Arnette, "I thought Jon was the strongest where you left out"
"I’m a new member of the party"
"hm, I see"
"What would you have me do sir?"
"stop being eerie and attack me"
"Okay sir"
Arnette drew out his sword, immediately Ulfur felt a very threatening presence, a little bit weak compared to the one he felt earlier.
Ulfur smiled, "don’t disappoint me"

𝐾ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑔
Arnette’s speed was unmatched and Ulfur almost got stabbed in his left eye making him reveal the gauntlet on his hand which no one had seen until now.
He blocked the sword with the gauntlet.
"wow, I did feel like you are strong but to make me use this..."
Arnette jumped back immediately, ’ what is that? he blocked in the last minute, how could he even...’
"Okay, I think you are the first person I’ll get to take seriously"
𝑠𝑠𝑠ℎℎℎℎ
The gauntlet on the second hand revealed itself, silver gauntlet with engraved red gems, Ulfur stretched forth on of his hand.
"This gauntlet is called thesis of Vandier, a S grade weapon, said to be crafted by northern god of iron and casted down into the earth as a failure, but even the failure of a god supersedes the success of a human, watch. SHATTER"
The floor beneath Arnette disappeared and scattered.
"How did - " Arnette still caught in surprise could not predict the next attack.
Ulfur clenched his fist, "STRIKE LIGHTENING"

Arnette began to hear the clapping of thunder but could not even tell where it was coming from.
𝑘𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑠𝑠𝑠ℎ

The lightening attacked Arnette from all four directions, above, below left and right. He rolled out of the dust caused by the attack all tattered and burnt.
"Ahh...I overdid it"
