Chapter — The Seeds that are Sowed
**The Crowd — A Hunger for Knowledge**
The applause in the auditorium didn't just fade; it transformed. It turned into a low, buzzing hum of curiosity. As Luke stepped down from the stage to rejoin his friends, he wasn't met with silence, but with a wall of people. Students—both high-ranks and Averages—stared at him with wide, questioning eyes.
"Luke!" Marin squeezed through the crowd, her face a mix of relief and awe. "That was... I don't even have words."
Uno then comes.He said "I know you are our school one of best pitcher but you will use it to throw aura sphere . I did not expect that."
Shuri ,Chika and Evelyn where also there appreciating Luke.
Liod stepped forward, his analytical mind already dissecting the battle. "The way you handled the output was one thing, Luke. But the techniques... I've never seen them anyone doing before. How did you do it? How did you perform Aura Reversal?"
Luke rubbed the back of his neck, looking slightly embarrassed by the sudden spotlight. "You don't really need to know that, Liod," Luke said with a small smile. "It's just a defensive move I worked out for this specific fight. You have way more raw power than me. With your strength, you can do things much more impressive than that."
"Still," Liod insisted, his voice firm. "The logic behind it... it could change how we all fight."
Around them, other students—the one who where"Average" too—started to gather. They didn't look at Luke with pity anymore. They looked at him with hope.
Luke sighed, realizing he couldn't just walk away. "Well... alright. I'll show you. But it isn't something you can master in a single day."
**The Lesson — The Art of the Ring**
Luke led a group to the center of the auditorium floor. He stood in the middle, calm and centered.
"Step one," Luke instructed. "Spread your arms out at your sides. Balance your weight."
Liod, Marin, and a dozen other students followed suit.
"Now, create a small aura sphere in each hand. Don't worry about size. Just focus on stability."
Blue flickers of light appeared in the hands of the students. So far, they all succeeded.
"From here, it gets difficult," Luke warned. "You need to stop the creation of those spheres without releasing them. Hold the energy in place, and simultaneously, start creating a new pair of spheres right next to them. You are essentially 'stacking' your aura in a circle."
The air filled with the sound of static and soft pops.
* Some students accidentally released their spheres, sending them rolling harmlessly across the floor.
* Others tried to force it, causing the spheres to merge into one unstable blob that flickered out.
* Some simply saw their aura vanish the moment they tried to multitask.
"I told you," Luke said gently. "It's hard. If you keep practicing, you'll get it one day."
After nearly an hour of intense concentration, Liod ,Marin where first to do so then few others managed to hold four spheres in a semi-circle.
"Good," Luke encouraged. "But in a real fight, you took too long. It has to be instant."
To demonstrate, Luke spread his arms. Instantly, a perfect ring of twelve shimmering aura spheres appeared around his torso, spinning slowly. The students gasped.
"Once the ring is set," Luke continued, "you have to imagine you are throwing every single one of them straight out at once. Not one by one. All directions, simultaneously. This creates a wall of force that protects you while hitting everyone around you."
They tried again. This time, spheres went flying in zig-zags; some curved, some collided. But under Luke's patient guidance, they began to understand the rhythm.
"You're an incredible teacher, Luke," Liod remarked, wiping sweat from his brow.
"I'm not," Luke replied, adjusting his tie. "I just practiced this a lot, so I know where the mistakes happen. I hope it helps you all.I you keep your focus and continue practice you will soon learn Aura reversal."
**The Departure — Shifting Personas**
"I'm feeling pretty tired," Luke said to his friends as the crowd finally began to thin. "I think I'll head home and rest for the day."
No one questioned him. After the high-intensity battle with a 4-Star like Kael, everyone assumed he was drained.
Luke walked away from the campus, but he didn't head home for sleep. As soon as he reached the privacy of his room, the air shimmered. Auru drifted out from the shadows, her eyes glowing.
Koru also know what going to happen.
"I don't think you came home to rest," she said playfully.
Luke looked at his reflection. "We haven't been Auron for a while. I need to clear my head. I should go around the world once."
Koru in tiredness said"Again the boring schedule."
He activated his Illusioner,creating his illusion then he unify with Auru and Koru, his form blurring and shifting until the "Average" student was gone. In his place stood the legendary figure, Auron. With a surge of true power, he took to the skies, patrolling the corners of the world that the University lights couldn't reach. The day ended with Luke feeling the weight of his secret and the thrill of his freedom.
**The Next Morning — The Popularity**
When Luke walked through the university gates the next morning, the "unfamiliar" feeling from his first day had returned—but for a different reason.
Twenty-four hours ago, he was a ghost. A 1-Star nobody.
Now, every head turned as he passed.
* "That's him," he heard a girl whisper. "The one who beat Kael."
* "He taught the Averages a new move," a boy muttered to his friend. "Even couldn't do it as fast as him since I am a aura blaster."
Groups of boys who used to ignore him now approached him, offering handshakes and wanting to be his "friend." Girls who had never looked his way now tried to start conversations about "notes" or "campus life."
For Luke, the fame was a nuisance, but the result was worth it: No one in the college would underestimate an Average again.
Meanwhile, the once-feared Kael was a shadow of his former self. His reputation was shattered. His gang had deserted him, and the students he used to bully now walked past him without fear. Kael sat alone in the cafeteria, the "trauma" of losing to a 1-Star keeping him silent. He had stopped his bullying, paralyzed by the memory of the Aura Meteor.
Luke sat at a quiet table, watching the campus flourish in this new atmosphere of respect. For a moment, it seemed like everything was finally good. All was happy.
But Luke didn't know.
Deep in the shadows of the world he had patrolled as Auron, a much bigger storm was gathering. A storm that didn't care about university ranks or category.
Luke unaware that seeds of great storm is already have been planted.
