"For stronger persons that can even be used to influence their foes but this requires a huge difference between them. Of course aura can be retracted as well but that requires training."

"Oh, thank you for the explanation. Then what changed about my aura?"

"Your aura now contains killing intend which wasn't there before. And to be exact it is the kind of killing intend that is clear and pure and not of the baleful kind."

When Ivan head this his first thought was that he should have had killing intend before since he had killed monsters before going into the wilderness but then he remembered what had happened after his first encounter with a Steelback Bear and how dungeon monsters hadn't count there. From that he guessed that they didn't count towards killing intent either.

That only left the second question, "There are different kind of killing intent?"

"Of course. Nothing is simple in life and killing intent is no exception. It is heavily influenced by the feelings and goals one has while killing as well as how one kills. If one kills in order to get resources or defend oneself then the killing intend will be clear and pure, but if one kills just for fun or for the killing itself then it will become dark and baleful. Besides that there is the way one kills. If the kills are without deliberate torture then it will be clear and pure but if it is with then it will be dark and baleful."

"So that means that I didn't torture my enemies while killing them?", Ivan asked after remembering one of his fights where he had slowly killed a Bear by letting him bled out. To him that had seemed to be quite torturous.

"Generally yes.", the waitress confirmed.

"Oh. Then how come I can't feel either my aura or that of my mentor.", he asked. Making use of the opportunity that someone was willing to explain.

"I told you before that one can retract ones aura and most people will do that if they aren't fighting so they don't disturb anyone. Besides that if one hasn't trained any aura skills one can only feel auras if they are much stronger than yours."

"You said that most people wouldn't retract their aura during fighting, why is that?"

"That's because ones aura is an important tool during fights. Not only can it be used to make the opponent feel pressure it can also be integrated into ones skills to increase their lethality. Of course all of that depends on the strength of both parties aura."

He nodded deep in thoughts as he thought about what she had told him. He guessed using aura during a fight could lead to the opponent feeling more pressure or even get them to freeze up during an important moment.

Seeing that he didn't have any other questions the waitress returned her focus to her job.

"What would you like to drink, Sir?"

This time Ivan didn't want to drink coffee since even though it had tasted good it wasn't really his thing but since he had no clue as to what was available he could only ask.

"We have many different beverages available. You can check out or menu on the screen after you used you card or you can tell me your preferred taste and I will recommend something. Of course there is also the option of letting me surprise you. I'm sure I will be able to select something that is to your taste."

The last sentence was spoken full of conviction and pride.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

She nodded and then left the room.

"Good now turn in your mission and then I'll teach you how to retract your aura since it will be better if not everyone can feel it."

Ivan then used his card to activate the screen in the table. After the menu appeared he navigated to the mission he had taken and pressed the submit button. As soon as he pressed it a compartment opened on one of the walls with a sign to put the items required for the quest into it.

Pulling out the ten pelts and 100 kg of meat he put all of that into the compartment which managed to hold it even though it seemed way to small. There had to be a space enchantment on it which increased the internal size of it as well as enabled it to teleport the contend away.

As soon as he closed the compartment a notification popped up on the screen.

'You have fulfilled the selected mission. You have been awarded 100 CP for the submitted pelts as well as 500 CP for the submitted bear paws. Since this is the first mission you have done for the Slavers Alliance you have awarded an additional 50 CP. We hope that you can complete many more and help our Slavers Alliance to grow and prosper.'

The 50 extra CP were nice but what was really important was that he finally had some money to buy things.

He quickly checked his inventory and saw the 650 CP. He couldn't stop his happiness from showing on his face and he broke out into a wide smile.

His mentor could only shake his head at this sight but his lips too curled up into a small smile.

At this moment the door opened and the waitress came back in. A glint of surprise flashed through her eyes when she saw the look of delight on Ivans face but it was to fast for either of them to see.

"Your beverage Sir."

She then put down a cup made of glass on the table. She positioned it so that it wasn't on the screen but as close as possible to him without it being in danger of him knocking against it.

Ivan then took a look at the content of the cup but wasn't able to identify it.

"This is?"
