The Only Aura User In Magic World

"Wake up! Dinner is ready!"

I woke the girls from their slumber as I finished setting up the camp and cooked dinner. It's a steak. From the meat of the bulls we defeated. I also made some jerky for our rations during the journey. In case we didn't found any edible monster's meat.

"It's dark already? Did we sleep that long?"

"Yes, Angela. Although you ended up using simple trick to defeat the bull, you still spent too much energy. There's hope for improvement, but that's good enough. The fact that you used pitfall means I'm your biggest influence. I'm grateful for that."

"We still have a lot to learn. Not just from you and Victoria. We need to learn from everything we see and everyone we meet. That's what Victoria thought about you. She said that you're unlike other Aura user. You choose to absorb everything and use it for yourself. When I looked at Kayla after the bull attacked her, I calmed down after seeing her determination on her eyes. Then I thought about what would Roy do if he has my power? The answer I reached on my own is a pitfall."

"So you're pretending to be me but still with your power? That's indeed what I would do. But to be stronger, you should think for yourself instead of pretending to be me."

Then I woke Kayla who's still sleeping.

"Kayla. Wake up."

"Hmm? Ouch!"

"Slowly, slowly. You're still hurt from the attack. Your ribs should be cracked. Use healing magic few more times so it will heal. Then you can have dinner."

"What's for dinner?"

"Steak."

"Good. I'm starving."

We ate our meals around the fire to keep us warm. And we chatted about the girls' battle against the bull. I praised them for the result, but the process… they still have a lot to improve.

All this time, they can peacefully fight from distance because I'm always play the part of a vanguard. I attract the monsters to me and the girls would attack them from afar. That's how we always act as a party. But when I'm out of the equation, it was horrible. If I didn't see Kayla raised an earth wall, I would act immediately. Luckily she's able to raise the wall above her chest. It only resulted in her ribs being broken.

"…now, you have questions, right? Before you ask your questions, I'll tell you something about me you won't expect."

The atmosphere changed as I made a serious expression. After showing Victoria to them… no. Even before that when we were on a mission, I already know that they can be trusted. That's why I'll tell them my secret. Although I'm sure one day this secret will be out. Well, the obvious reason is that one day I will tell this secret myself to influential people who is not a part of the cult so we can be prepared to fight them.

"I'm actually a regressor."

"Regressor?"

"That's what Victoria called me. I time travelled back to the past from the future. Actually, I'm travelled to back on the magic awakening ceremony."

"What?!"

I stayed quiet so they can process their thought. It is indeed unbelievable. If someone told me that they are a regressor, I would not believe them as well.

Once they have sort out their thought, I continued.

"Soon… no. Probably even at this moment, the enemy of humanity is growing. That's the reason why I desire to be strong. To destroy every single one members of that evil group."

"… That's some unbelievable story. But is there any proof to what you said?"

"Here, around this part of your chest. You have a mole around here."

I pointed at my own chest where Angela's mole should be located. I knew about it. In fact, most people know about it. Especially men.

"Wha!? Pervert! Did you peek at me in the future?!"

"No. You were famous because of your four elements. And all of them should be around Advanced level. And even at the time, you were strong enough to defeat an Expert level mage. Why I knew about your mole… is because the dress you always wore on the battlefield. You always wear a revealing dress that shows your cleavage. Obviously, most men would look at that part."

"Why would I wear something like that?!"

"I don't know. Some says that your dress is a magic armor. But the truth is not something I know. After all we were not close at all. In fact we were never talked once in that timeline."

"I would never wear something that embarrassing in this timeline!"

""Shame.""

"What?! Even you, Kayla?"

Kayla and I high-fived. We do feel that it's a shame that she don't want to wear such outfit. Maybe if there's a magic dress like that again in the future, she would wear them.

"Anyway, you said something more important than Angela's cleavage before."

"But I want her cleavage to be the most important point… UWAA!!! Don't burn my hair!"

Angela can't take a joke at all. She would use fireball every time she's angry. Or maybe she could sense that I'm not joking at all? I should be more careful with what I said then.

Kayla, ignoring my pain, choose to continue asking questions.

"Enemy of humanity and the battlefield Angela is fighting. Tell us about them."

Then I explained to them thoroughly about the group and how evil they are. I choose to not tell them the name Evil God Cult. It was because it is not their real name. It is a name the kingdom gave to the group after their activities grow much larger. As of now, I don't have any idea of what they are called.

"… That secret organization is planning to conquer the world with evil. That's the gist of it."

"…fuck. That's too big for us right now."

"Yes. That's why I'm going on a journey to awaken my special ability from Aura. As for you two, you need to grow stronger. In fact everyone should grow stronger. But I can't tell anyone yet. I can't trust those in high position."

"But you should know at least some of them, right? Why don't you assassinate them?"

"If I do, the secret organization will target me. I'm still far too weak and their power and connection is still unknown even in the future. I only know some event that affect me."

"Then you can tell us the tragedy that will occur, can't you?"

"I will tell you when it's about to happen. You just need to get stronger."

"You can't do that. At least tell us one that will happen soon."

"What will, if I tell you, you will only train for that moment. The only thing I can tell you is that the tragedy will never stop until the organization is destroyed thoroughly. Even if we stop one, they will continue to act. That's why I ask you to get stronger. Even with all the knowledge I know, it's impossible to defeat them on my own. I'm fortunate enough to find two reliable friends I can trust and I don't want to lose you guys. Even more so that what I did in this timeline, has probably changed the future. The events that will happen in the future is totally unknown after I killed some members few days ago. It might be worse than it should be so please get stronger."

I bowed down and begging them shamelessly. This is my true feeling. I don't want to lose the first friends I made in this timeline. And also the things that the cult will do in the future will get worse and worse. At least I can wish for their safety if they got stronger.

"It's okay. You don't need to bow down. We understand."

"Yeah. Basically they're evil. And we're aiming to destroy them, right?"

"Not 'we'. Just me alone. Your goal in the future should be decided by you yourselves. At least if you want to destroy that evil group, it was from the bottom of your heart. Not because of an unbelievable story by a shameless man."

"Okay, okay. We got it. You want to say that our goal should be our own survival, right? But we refuse. We are a party and also friends. If you wish to destroy the evil, we also wish for the same. We trust you and you also trusted us enough to tell us about your secret. We won't let you down and grow stronger. Even stronger than the me in your previous life."

"Yes. You are the leader of this party. You decided where to go and we will walk with you."

This is amazing. These two now has shown their determination to follow me. Although the future is unknown, and maybe we will be split apart, I'm sure that they will still think of the cult as their enemy.

And there's another more important thing from what Angela said.

"You said that you wish the same thing as me, right? Then I wish for you to wear a sexy dress."

"That's right! I also wish for the same thing."

"GO TO HELL!"
