Chapter 303 - Five Aspects Part 2

"I can't show you their power, but I can give some explanation about them." She smiled. "First is Awareness. If we have Soft Control, Force Control, and Perfect Control in Control category, Awareness has Expansion, Prediction, and Future Views."

"Future Views…" Theo raised his eyebrows, thinking about something.

"Yes. Expansion is simply a more powerful vision while transmitting your intention or something, like Killing Intent or sensing those around you. I'm sure you already have it. After that is Prediction… Using your Awareness, you can observe your opponent like watching from behind the screen. It will allow you to get a better understanding of their movement and predict their movement. When you're already at the top of Prediction, you will start understanding more and more, making you able to glimpse the future.

"Of course, even though I'm saying the future, it's just you predicting your prediction, making you see this kind of "future". And it's indeed hard to grasp this power."

"I see." Theo nodded.

"Then there is Breathing. It's also divided into three Major Categories: Burst, Innate Regeneration, Unlimited Generation. The one I showed you earlier about the combination was classified as Burst plus Force Control. Breathing gives you a rhythm after all, allowing you to gain a momentary boost or calm mind.

"After that is Innate Regeneration. It allows you to create a more powerful Burst and regenerate your Magic Power. At the peak, it's called Unlimited Generation that allows you to naturally absorb or use the Magic Power in the air to make it look like you have unlimited Magic Power."

"All I can see this whole time is that each power has its own use. And I'm sure they're the power every person wishes for…" Theo looked down, falling into deep thought.

"Of course it is. The technique is the same. Mastery, Original Technique, and Divine Abilities. Hmm, let me take an example of a famous person in the past. Do you know Tsubame Gaeshi? That Kojiro Sasaki?"

"The one where you make a feint by swinging your sword down before waving it one more time?" Theo asked.

"Yep. That's an Original Technique. At a glance, it's a technique that only you can use… Unless you're teaching them to another person. Divine Abilities is the stronger version of it."

"I understand." Theo nodded.

"Last but not least, it's Endurance. It's quite similar to Breathing to be honest, but this one is more physical. Harden, Innate Regeneration, and Inhuman Physique. These are the three categories for Endurance. Harden means hardening… I remember when I'm reading an article, you know about a normal human destroying bricks and other things? This is Hardening.

"Innate Regeneration means your wounds will gradually heal by themselves, whether it's external or internal injuries. As for the last one, have you ever seen someone burning, but it's actually his normal form? Something like that. He can assimilate his body with his power, turning himself into a fire, water or something that is capable of giving them power beyond human's limit."

"Yep, as expected, all of them are pretty badass powers that are hard to deal with."

"Indeed. But the most annoying one is the combination. Like my Magic Saint Fist Style, which requires powerful Control and somewhat okay Breathing… the combination of more than one aspect will give tremendous power to the user.

"For example, the current head of the Griffith Family can use Breathing, Control, and Endurance at the same time. His peak power allows him to destroy half of Italy's base we saw a few days ago.

"There is also a samurai in the east that combines Breathing, Control to create his own Technique that can cut the same base to half with a single slash. There are many examples in this world, but I shouldn't waste your time." She smiled. "I'm sure this explanation is enough for now."

"Indeed. I can see the benefits of learning them. For now, I have the Control at my disposal, but I don't know if this one is what I want." Theo smiled. "Thank you. You just opened my eyes."

"Hehe." Nella made a big smile before putting her head on his lap as if wanting to be spoiled. "How about patting my head as a reward?"

"What are you? A kid?" Theo shook his head helplessly but still gently patted her head as thanks for her explanation.

While enjoying the pat, Nella was muttering inwardly, 'I wonder what will he do when he realizes he can learn everything. An enviable talent that is useless by himself but becomes the strongest when he meets many people. Still, the Griffith Family has its own rule, which they haven't broken yet for centuries. I wonder if they are going to break the rule for Theo if he doesn't want to become the family head.'

Nella suddenly chuckled. 'You may not know it, but ever since my father talked about you, I have already become your fan, Cousin. I want to see how far you can go from here.'

"What is it? Why are you laughing like an idiot?" Theo shook his head helplessly.

Her smile only just got bigger as she replied, "Nothing, I just love you, Cousin. Hehe."

"Whatever." Theo sighed. "Anyway, you're going to tell me about the Griffith Family later, right?"

"Yes. After the banquet, I will tell you about them. However, my parents don't talk much about them, so most of what I know comes from my own research. Also, do you think I can come to your room at that time? It's going to be a long story. Or we can talk in my room. Either place is fine as long as no one can bother us."

Theo thought for a moment. "Well, the competition is already over, so I don't really mind."

"That's great. It's an important matter after all. I can't really say it in front of other people."

"Still, judging from the reaction of other people, the Griffith Family seems to be a big family, yet, they are not that well known?" Theo was suspicious.

"I will tell you in detail later, but I can give you one hint." She smiled. "They are a hidden family."
