*Before the puppet got destroyed – No Name and Jihu*
They were both hiding under the table while watching the bodyguard deal with all the flying swords.
No Name: The person who is controlling those swords isn't really causing that much disaster, or the bodyguard is really good at dealing with this situation.
"Why do these swords keep shattering after getting in contact with these bodyguards?"
Jihu: It's because of their ability. These bodyguards all have the same ability called 'Barrier'. It's allowing them to create an impenetrable barrier.
No Name: That is one of the most basic abilities. How can all of them rank A?
Jihu: It's because they mastered the advanced version of 'Barrier'. Which allows them to create a different foundation to keep the building from collapsing even if the first floor gets demolished. Also to prevent that event.
No Name: Interesting... Also, can you remove your hand from my shoulder?
Jihu: I thought you'd ask about that first instead of the previous question.
No Name: I only asked to see if you also knew what was going on. These 'Barrier' people are all in the same company or guild, and that is basic knowledge.
Jihu: If you ask Sunz this, he definitely won't know what is going on or know that there is a company or guild for specific abilities.
No Name: Now, can you please remove your hand?
Jihu: Then can you conceal your aura again? If I remove my hand, those things will aim for us.
No Name: What are you talking about? My aura has always been hidden.
Jihu: True... I have also been keeping track of three familiar auras, and then suddenly a new aura appeared next to the "Ice" aura.
No Name: You can keep track of aura? Or is this an excuse for you to touch me?
Jihu: No excuses... From what I have experienced, there are two ways to keep track.
"First is sensing, which is pretty common. Using your own aura like a magnet to push other auras away while also being pushed when encountering a stronger aura. The only problem with this way is that it depends on your strength. The stronger you are, the more area you can cover with your aura, and it's also not that good when trying to stay on a specific target."
"The other way is using your eyes, which is really rare. It's like having x-ray vision combined with smoke and silhouette. You can see their aura outline, and it leaves a smoke trail to track down that person."
No Name: The second one sounds kind of annoying. Can you turn it on and off? Also, having that kind of make you seem like a pervert?
Jihu: You're right. It's kind of annoying and hurts my eyes, but I can toggle it, and it works best when my eyes are close. It only makes you a pervert if you voluntarily use it for inappropriate stuff.
Also, I have only unlocked this new skill for like a day. There is so much I need to learn to get used to it.)
No Name: You're right. It was wrong of me to call you that.
Jihu: Don't worry, it's fine. I'm at that age, so it's pretty normal to suspect that... So, can you hide your aura now?
No Name: You know, there is a saying, "Everything happens for a reason." So I won't hide my aura for now. Instead...
*She is looking for something in her outfit*
Jihu:...
No Name pulled out a long piece of cloth out of her outfit: Let use this situation for you to train.
