[You could get up to 5 chapter ahead if you support me on patr30n. At patr30n . com / Zaneninjacat ]
{Jaune Pov}
I opened up my eyes and let out a pained groan, damn... my whole body hurts.... It feels like every single fiber of my muscle have been shredded rough by a meat grinder and all of my bones is grushed by a road roller....
"Wha.....what happened" i managed to croaked out through the pain and i tried to sit up but i gave up halfway there and lay back down on the floor.
I then look at the moon and sees that its already low, i probably have an hour of two before dawns break....
I then try to remember what the actual hell had happen, hopefully it would explain my current situation.
I remember my stupid decision to follow my heart, why did i do that? I chuck it up to me being a kid.... kid do stupid stuff right? Well i am kinda stupid... so i guess that answers it..
And i then remember walking deep into the forest and reach my usual spot before i had to dodge something and thankfully i did cause that something is a alpha beowolves....
Why is there a lone alpha beowolves alone in the forest? Why would there even be a grimm in the forest?! My father and a few of hunters that is still hunted any grimm in the forest or the surrounding lnd once every three day... well not dad, he sometimes need to go away for weeks if the job need him somewhere else.. like that time on atlas where he become the bodyguard for one of the schnee...
And i guess its kinda stupid of me to even go here in the first place considering about a couple of days ago i overheard dad talking to mom about how the hunters let a grimm escaped... dad tried to track the grimm down the whole night but it looks like he didn't find it huh... this is a bad way to find out about it..
I should be thankful that its me that the grimm found and not Modred, i don't want to imagine Modred fighting the grimm alone with a Wooden sword...
I remember me rolling under the grimm and i think it managed to nicked my back? I would had checked it if i could.... but i guess compared to what happened next that scratch would mot be my biggest worry because the grimm slapped me into a tree... i'm pretty sure i broke my ribs and my left arm..... shit... how do i explain this to mom... i would be pretty happy if she can come here and heal me but no... Jaune you just have to sneak away in the middle of the night didn't you? Stupid Jaune...
And what happened next? Oh yeah... i remember trying to stand up and i'm pretty sure i heard the sound of chains breaking.
I.... i then... i then felt it... that energy... it felt.. like true freedom.. is that.. aura? That gotta be aura right?
And those circuits.. what is that?! I never seen Modred have that! Is that my semblance? No... From what Modred tell me she instinctively know what her semblance is when she unlocked it.. and that is not my semblance... so thats gotta be my aura right?
Why does that grimm move so slow anyway? Did that Circuits makes me faster? But whenever Modred used her aura whenever she showed me on how she used it, she never have that kind of circuits pattern on her body and also she said that whenever she moves as fast as she can with her aura its really hard for her to see or even concetrate...
I also experienced that too.. i only meant to take a single step to the side of the grimm so i can get to my tree but suddenly the world goes blurry and i infront of the tree..
And when i picked up my sword i got a feeling that i could flow that energy... or aura.. i need to ask Modred about it... i then flow my aura to my sword and it also got the same circuit pattern on it.
And that attack.. when the grimm tried to hit me again, i swimng my sword to its jaw and my sword alongside the grimm's head explode... could that happen to my arm?
"I.....i need to .....go home..." i gasped through the pain that has covered my entire body.
My aura... i need to use it again.. last night when my body was covered in those circuits i didn't felt any pain... i need to do it again...
I start to concetrate to bring that feeling back into my body for a few minutes before i stop and pants roughly "haa....ha...ha.... i need to concetrate deeper...i have to feel what i feel before..."
With new vigour i concetrate deeper and remember the feeling i had when i first experience that kind of power.
I remembered the feelings of pain.....fear....anger... and the most prominent and powerful of them all.....LOVE.
Emotion... Aura is connected to our emotion right? Well hopefully it is because i don't have anymore idea... Modred never really told me about this emotion part of the Aura..
I concetrate on the feeling of my love even more, I start to think about how much i love my family and the people i have met.
My mother's cooking with a gentle smile when she looks at the childrens playing around.
My father's loving gaze when one of his kids shown him something to be proud of.
Saphron gentle gaze when she dances with me to the sound of music.
Artoria stoic facade that hide away her gentleness as she looks over and watch the other's back while they play the arcade games.
Modred frankly fierces emotion and determination to not be chained by rules and her willingness to support me by helping me train.
Jeanne gentle aura while she gently help the others do their chores and the gentle smile that had always stuck on her face.
Noir's exteoverted love towards her twin as she drag Blancheur to play and Blancheur letting Noir drag her around to play with a small almost unnoticable smile that had assaulted her introverted self.
Olivia's beautiful eyes that looks at the world in wonder as she looks at it for the first time.
I concetrate deeper on the feeling of love that has been prominent in my heart and i can finally feel the energy flowing through and out of my body.
I open my eyes to the feeling of the pain greatly lessen and a white forcefield that has covered my body, At that moment i can finally confirm that the energy that has flowed through my body was my own now unlocked Aura, but i didn't got that circuit pattern again when i looked at my arm... but this confirms it that it is Aura..
I'm still curious about the circuit-like pattern that has covered my hands and presumably also my body before, but i put the thought away for some other time as i focus on the aura to help me move.
I managed to move my right arm up and when i feel pain, i fight through it as i force to sit up.
I did not managed to sit up straight and had to lean on my right arm, and look at what i found... my left are is bending the wrong way..... Modred's gonna kill me...
I then force myself to stand on my own two feet as my Aura grows brighter to accomodate for the stress my body is experiencing.
When i finally managed to stand up, i lean my body on a nearby tree before i look at my surrounding and saw the tree and i had been thrown too is concave in by the force of my body hitting it.
How did i survive that? I don't know... but thanks oum for not hitting that head first.. oum knows i would break my neck..
I wonder where has the body of the Grimm has gone too and my heart start to beat wildly as i look around panicked about where has the dead body of the Grimm has gone too now.
Well i guess thats one less thing to worry about now.
I then start to calm myself down and metally chide myself for forgetting that Grimm's corpses fade away into nothingness after a few hours.
I then had the relization that i am in need to go home now! When i look at the night sky and see that i have about maybe 4 hours if i were to be optimistic to go home before the sun rises and the other found my room empty without me being there.
I then start to limp as fast as i can back to my town and sneak away into my home... this is hping to be a pain in my butt isn't it?
It took me about 2 hours before i manage to climb into my window.... i won't ever do that again... climbing with one arm.. i fell down a couple of times before i literally grab my broken arm a nd re-aligned it myself.. that was stupid but with my left arm not bending the wrong way, its easier to climb the pipe..
I then lay on my bed and can't help but laugh as i then think about what happened and how i am now much stronger and being closer to my dream as i had now unlocked my Aura.
the fact my Aura is better quality because of me unlocking it by myself doesn't cross my mind as i am too thankful for being alive and living another day to be a hunter.
Well try to be a hunter.. i need to go to the academy first.. thats a problem for future Jaune...
