The train services give Mr. Kent and Maru their meal, as the two eat. 

" Father? " Maru asks.

" I see many forests and hills along the way… 

It makes me wonder what 'Envy Peaks' would look like. " Maru asks Mr. Kent while he gulps his meal.

" Like the name itself, it's a place filled with mountains. 

Mountains are filled with sharp rocks and extreme plantations, for despite the beauty of its flora, it usually becomes the habitat of dangerous fauna such as the Fire Rat. " Mr. Kent tells Maru, which made Maru shiver.

" But despite all that, it's the best place to start training Martial Arts, before even learning Cultivation. "

" Cultivation? " Maru asks, he doesn't know what that is.

" I see, even your mother didn't tell you this, she should've had it inside her…, being a Blue Blood she is… 

An 'Aura Core', or by the Envy Peak people, is called Inner Core or Dantian. 

It's basically just like Gift Cores, but not from the Divine. It was created independently by the human itself, even though the abilities unlocked when forming it would not be as advanced as the Divine Gift Cores. 

Many Red Bloods can't obtain it, for the Blue Blood ensures their Martial Arts will never grant them the very sensation of cultivation, the sensation of forming an Aura Core, independent without the gods' interference. " Mr. Kent tells casually, while Maru, still confused, then asks the obvious.

" So Mother had 'two' Cores? " Maru asks, to which Mr. Kent responds by raising his eyebrows.

" One is Gift Core that gave her the [White Blizzard] ability, the second one… " Mr. Kent suddenly remembers something.

" Ah, yes, it made her hair turn Peroxide blonde, or she would say Beach Blonde, for her powers after that. I didn't see it when we first met, for I never let her unleash it as I defeated her in the tournament of her own making. I win her own game. 

Perhaps that's why she never uses it again, she believes her Aura ability is too difficult to wield than her Gift Power. 

Guess the Talent of her Aura Core is an Exalter one, judging from the 'difficulty' she mentioned of using it. " Mr. Kent says, he then mentioned that both Gift Powers and Aura ability are divided into five primary talents.

" Evocator allows you to conjure and summon. Enchanter lets you imbue and manipulate organic and inorganic beings, basically allowing you to enchant either an elemental, an object, or the person themselves. Enhancer allows you to be a superhuman, giving you powerful physical prowess as if you're a demigod, not just that, some could enhance objects as well. Expulsor allows you to unleash powerful blast and range abilities like an arrow or a gun; it's usually the fastest talent. And last but not least, Exalter, this talent allows one to have a demigod-like body like Enhancer, but their powers usually require a long time preparation, giving those with faster preparations an advantage against them. 

But don't get cocky, just because Exalter had a long time preparing, doesn't mean what they're going to unleash is weak and inefficient. Even Enchanters know better despite being able to unleash powerful enchantments. 

So you win against mother because of luck, father? " Maru asks, getting more interested in his father by the second.

" I won because I'm faster, stronger…, and the fun part is, I'm not even an Enhancer. " Mr. Kent suddenly tells Maru that which made him confused, considering how it is possible for his father, a strong, tall, muscular-looking man whose nerves can be seen in his huge hands, is not an Enhancer like what he described.

" Just remember, if the condition of the fight is equal, the advantage of talents starts from Evocators defeating Enchanters, Enchanters defeat Enhancers, Enhancers defeat Expulsors, and Expulsors defeat Exalters, and yes, Exalters defeat Evocators. But remember, this cycle of advantage could only happen if the fighters are of equal strength or power, conditions may vary. 

Hence why, a strong physical status and talent, great knowledge & intellect, experience & creativity, and a rarity and incredible nature of one's power are important, for those things could make variations towards the Talent Advantage Cycle. 

Hence, why your mother especially is the one being concerned, the reason why she's so powerful despite being an Enchanter, even against Exalters, is because of the nature of her Gift Power and the god who gave it to her. 

But let's shift from your mother, let's talk about me… 

I believe I already told you, the Inhumane strength and physique is genetic prowess. Also, I should've told you this, it is all added with years of training in Martial Arts and Cultivating Aura Core. "

 " I see father…? " Maru nods, " What's your Gift Power's then? Do you actually have one? "

" Yeah, I'm an Evocator. " Mr. Kent tells Maru, which made him confused.

" What's your power's name? Why do you never show me? " Maru asks.

" I can't…, your mother won't let me. " Mr. Kent refuses.

" Why? " Maru wonders.

" She told me that my Evocator skill would cause trouble for her. Especially if the other Blue Blood Families delve deeper into my origin.

She said my Gift Powers are too extraordinary to be given to a Red Blood Alien hybrid like me; some Blue Blood Families might be offended, she tells, with such paranoia, that woman… " Mr. Kent scoffs, telling Maru that the other Blue Blood Families' very annoying ego, they seemed to have a low tolerance for seeing people other than their bloodline attain great power.

" That's why she insists you have the Gift Core first, for the Gift Core is the very thing that made the Blue Blood Clan, the 'Blue Blood Clan'. For their Main Ancestor is the first one to ever show this world the power of the Gift Core gifted by the gods. " Mr. Kent tells.
