The Only Aura User In Magic World

"Does this mean we\'re up against someone from the past who killed every single aura user?"

"What are you talking about?"

I was just guessing the identity of the one behind Evil God Cult, and Sonia curious about it. So Victoria told her about the fact that I returned back in time thanks to the ability of the black slime.

"I\'m also curious about the truth about this black slime. How can this slime has the ability to let someone go back into the past? Then the fact that Victoria never appears in my past life as well. We can only guess about this. Maybe if Blobby can talk, she will tell us something. Victoria, can Blobby talk or not?"

"I don\'t know. Ever since I was reincarnated in this black slime, I never communicate with Blobby. In fact I always be the one in control until you summoned me and make me your contracted monster. After that, I need to defeat a lot of monsters to be able to have more time in control of this body. I knew that this slime has the ability to turn back in time, but I could never use it in the past. There are also many other abilities that were locked until Roy\'s summoning element level improved."

There\'s too many things I don\'t know about. Like the truth behind the Evil God Cult, and about the Black Slime and how Victoria\'s soul ended up in the body of that Black Slime.

I only got this far depending solely on knowledge of the events that\'s going to happen and my own body. There are also several other things that were different from my past life, so I can\'t always depend on my memory of my past life.

More importantly, at the moment, there\'s something I have to do.

"Now that reunion time is over, let\'s exorcise some ghosts."

"No! I want to live even though I\'m already dead!"

"That\'s two things I never would have thought to be said in a sentence."

"Wait, Roy! Why don\'t we let her be and be the guardian of this building? She can help chasing away intruder."

"But won\'t they be charmed by this land and come again?"

"I\'ll try to undo the magic I casted in this land!"

"Then there\'s the fact that there are four ghosts of men here. I will live with my girlfriends here so I don\'t want them to peek on my girls. I\'ll exorcise them and let you alone live."

"Nooo! Is there any other choices?"

"Nope. It\'s either you alone survive or all of you get exorcised."

"Ugh! Fine… I want to continue living."

"Alright. You\'ve made your choice."

I approached the male ghosts one by one and exorcise them with my aura.

"Ghost Killer Punch!"

"Darling!"

"Ghost Killer Kick!"

"Honey!"

What? So she has nicknames for each of her lover.

"Ghost Killer Head-butt!"

"My Trophy!"

"Wait, what?!"

The ghost Sonia said some weird nickname to the third ghost I exorcised.

"He\'s used to be someone else\'s boyfriend until I stole him away from her."

"And you called him your trophy?"

"Yes."

"What about the last one, then? Ghost Killing… what else is there? Ghost Killing Knee Strikes!"

"Mr. Handsome with perfect smile!"

"Too long!"

I killed all the other ghosts leaving only Sonia alone behind. Although I just killed her lovers and she screamed out their names, I don\'t think she feels sad at all.

"You\'re not sad at all even though I just killed your lovers?"

"They were just men I toyed with. I have no real affection toward them."

"They died and stayed here for nothing if you said that. Now what to do with you? I can\'t just let you stay here without doing anything."

Even though I told her I will let her live(?) I don\'t know what to do with her.

"For now try to leave this place."

"I can\'t. I\'m stuck in this building. At first I was stuck in this land, then they built this place and I can only stuck in this building."

"If you can\'t do anything, I\'ll exorcise you."

"I can help you take care of any trespasser! I\'ll be the watch dog of this place!"

Did she just say she\'s willing to be a dog? That mean I not only have a unique summon, I will also have a unique watch dog.

"If you don\'t want me to exorcise you, you have to lift the spell that you cast on this area! You will undo your charm magic you casted in this place!"

"Sorry, I can\'t!"

"If you can\'t do it I will exorcise you!"

"Hiiiii! I\'ll try my best! I don\'t know how long will it be, but I\'ll do it!"

A ghost who\'s afraid of a living being. That\'s funny.

"Roy, aren\'t you too harsh on her?"

"I think so too. But she\'s already casted her magic on me. Even though it\'s unintentional, I already decided that she\'s hostile and I won\'t hold back against her."

"Well, if that\'s what you want, I won\'t say anything else."

"What about you? I thought you two were rival?"

"Only she thinks that way. She had a crush toward a man who had a crush on me. I rejected him so many times and that\'s why she thinks I\'m her love rival. I don\'t like him one bit though."

"Why?"

"He\'s an aura user. And at the time, most of aura user has a body even bigger than the guards of Mellian city that you taught. Men with big muscles are not my taste so I thought of being single my whole life. I prefer someone like you. Muscular but slim. Instead of someone with biceps bigger than a girl\'s waist."

Damn! If they\'re bigger than Mellian city\'s guards, then aura user of the past are all beasts!

Well, size doesn\'t matter! What\'s matter is usefulness! That\'s what matter most!

Wait! I forgot something important!

"Victoria, did you just say you prefer someone like me?"

"Yes I did."

"Was that a confession?"

"Yes. But you only need to say yes once I can fully take control of this slime at all time. I can only stay a little past 12 hour at the moment. Once I can be in control, I\'ll be your lover."

"That\'s great! But… is this how easy to get lovers?"

Victoria admitted that it was a confession but I need to answer only after she can fully take control of the black slime.

But… first is Kayla. Then Sophie. And now Victoria. If this is how easy to get a lover then…

"How come I can get three girlfriends in just a few months but I could only stay single for a whole lifetime!"

"You have terrible luck."

"You don\'t have any charm as a man in your past life."

"Shut up and do your job, you shitty ghost watch dog! Or I\'ll exorcise you!"

"I\'m sorry!"

I yelled in anger because both Victoria and Sonia because they were right.

I had terrible luck with women that I have to endure dozens of times being rejected. I also lacked charm. I mean I\'m not that ugly, but no one wanted someone without confidence.

I guess I was too timid in the past. I never had any confidence.

I used to only had one element, and my summon is Blobby. I had to try my hardest to be able to survive, but with how weak I was, I didn\'t have any confidence.

Then as I manage to collect money, I tried to go to medical school, but I was the oldest student there. In fact, there are many professor who\'s younger than me. I was around 30 years old at that time, and most of the students are those who had just finished their introductory school. Which means most of them are around 16 years old.

Surrounded by people around half my age and richer than me, I lost more my confidence.

Then as I finished medical school, no hospital will accept me because I was too old.

It was way later after I thought of using Blobby as weapon and accidentally managed to be able to use aura, my confidence raised.

Then the stupid me decided to join the war and died soon. I died because of overconfidence.

That is why I\'m a coward now. A coward by choice, not by nature.

I gained aura and its special ability, get a lot of friends and allies, but I still choose to be a coward.

Like how I killed the Orc Emperor. I can defeat it on my own, but I choose to stick with the others and get everyone\'s help. If I do it alone, I don\'t think I can finish it unscathed. I will most likely be injured greatly.

And fighting the All-seeing Eye without using magic or have any companion, I took care of that after sparring with it for a few days. And even after all that planning, I almost lost one of my arm.

That\'s why being a coward is a good thing since I can find more way to survive.

I guess that\'s what makes me different from my past life.

Back then before I gain aura, I was just a man without any confidence. I was also so stupid that I dare to confess to multiple girls. Those were not bravery, just stupidity.

But now, I\'m a confident coward.

I\'m confident that I can escape through any danger.

Then when I\'m with the others, I only made decisions that will make them stronger but won\'t push them too hard. And I made sure that they will be safe.

Confidence do changes people. Even though I\'m a coward, I still have three girls confessed their feelings to me.

But for three girls to fall for me… it was way too surprising.
