Kaiser interrupted and said, "But Dad, I never asked who a skeptiliar is. What I asked was-What is Aura Arts ?"

His father remained silent, listening to his son calmly until he finished speaking.

He smiled, surely realising how little his son knew. After a long "sigh", he finally spoke.                                             

 "Son, Aura Arts and skeptiliar are related."

He continued speaking while putting a light expression on his face. "A skeptiliar is a person who explores this world, interacts with mysteries and dangers in order to know more, and gets strong in order to delve more." 

He raises his left arm just above his head. As he did so, a thin flame-like aura covered his arm.

 He spoke again: 

"Son, as you see-this is my Aura."

He lowered his arm again and continued, "Aura Arts is a collection of techniques in which Aura is either needed or used."

Kaiser smiled. He already knew that this world was different, but after hearing all this, all his mind could do was think, 'This world is surely interesting.'

Kaiser asked curiously, "Dad, can you too use-" 

His father interrupted with, "Yes, I can too use some Aura Arts while I am not a skeptiliar."

He paused for a moment, then continued,

 "While you should know-the amount of Aura Arts I know is nothing compared to a skeptiliar. A skeptiliar is one who masters many Aura Arts."

He kept his left arm supporting his face while continuing to speak. "Aura is the ability of your body that how much energy your body can take out or how much energy leaks even when you try to hide it or .....uh-" 

He stopped. Kaiser had a confused expression. 

Kaiser said, "Dad, looks like you yourself don't exactly know what Aura is."

His father replied confidently, "Nah, I know, but roughly, uhhh, maybe I won't be able to explain it to you now, but when you get older, you will understand it yourself." 

His father stood with a strong, grounded stance, without producing any sound.

He silently walked toward the door of Kaiser's bedroom. Just before leaving, he turned and said,

 "Well, then son, goodnight."

He opened the door and closed it quietly behind him.

The silence was unbroken-until the moment Dad left.

But just after that- 

"Why did you tell him all that, huh?"

"Honey, honey-calm down. He should at least know."

"Know? Know what, huh ?"

Mother was on a total rampage just outside my room. I figured it was better to sleep than to interfere.

***

The next day, when I went to the market with Mother, I found a bookstore-and somehow became successful in making Mother buy a book on Aura Awakening to Aura Arts. While surely the book was costly.

As soon as I got home, I entered my room, opened the book, and began reading it without wasting a single second.

The text of the book was, 'Aura is the energy that surrounds our body-whether naturally or by will.' After reading this, I really thought, 'Why was Dad so confused while explaining it?'

As I continued to read further, the book told that-'The use of Aura in a specified or correctly directed way-known in or taught in society-is called Aura Arts. Most Aura Arts are designed to raise the efficiency of Aura used in it.'

'Aura is made by the body in Aura core, from where it is sent to the destined place. In humans, the Aura core is present near to the heart.' 

'Aura is never truly awakened, because it is awakened from the start. But the amount of Aura used by humans unconsciously is less than 0.00001per cent of the person's total Aura. These numbers or percentages can vary from person to person, but it doesn't mean their Aura is not awakened.' 

                                                      'Aura Awakening  

Even though the true awakening of Aura never happens, still when the bursting out of Aura happens in a concentrated form for the first time in a person's life-either triggered because of any cause, emotions or meditation-is called Aura awakening.'

'In humans, most people Aura Awakening happens between 9-21 years of age, while still some are able to awaken even before. The human record of the earliest awakening is of a boy who awakened his Aura at the age of 8 years, 9 months, and 29 days.'
