The Only Aura User In Magic World

"Hola amigo!"

The black slime that has always been with me suddenly changed after I breakthrough to intermediate level. The voice is changed from a feminine voice of a woman, to a macho voice of a man.

This is not Victoria. This is someone else. Blobby? Or is it another person?

"Who are you and where is Victoria? And what is that amigo?"

"That's just a greeting my first master used to say to other people. I was a summoned monster long before Victoria died and her soul transferred to my body. I'm the real black slime, or should I say I'm the original personality of who you called Blobby. My name is Javier. That's the name my first master gave to me. But you can call me Blobby like usual."

"My name is Roy, but you can call me The Great One like usual."

"…your personality is the same as ever."

I feel a sense of familiarity from Javier. He's Blobby after all. But what does this mean? How come there are multiple personalities in Blobby? And where's Victoria?

"You don't have to worry about Victoria. I have received permission from her to take control of this body for a while. She's also listening at the moment. Unfortunately, this will be the first time and the last time we meet each other. Once Victoria returns, this body will be in her full control. That's why I want you to listen carefully to what I have to say. With both you and Victoria listening, I think it would be fine even with your terrible memory."

"…we just met and you already make fun of my forgetful trait? How long can you stay in control?"

"Until I changed back to Victoria. After that, I will never be able to come out again. Even when you improved your summoning level to advanced level. Now, where do you want to listen to my story?"

"The king's bedroom. Or wherever Albert decide."

"You still don't trust me and want Albert to detect if I spoke any lies? That's fine."

"No. He's just smarter than I am. If he listened right away, he might be able to make up some plans. What you're going to tell me is something related to what happened, right?"

I just make some wild guess, but I don't feel that I'm wrong.

"Yes. That mean Victoria won't be with you for a while. Is that fine?"

"Yeah. She will agree with me here. If she's inside Blobby with you, you should be able to contact her, right?"

"…she said she'll leave everything to you. And she has many questions to ask me, so I won't be able to speak much with you on the way. I'll tell you everything I know when you're there."

"Okay. But at least you have to greet the others so they know what's going on."

Then I quickly return to my home and told everyone that I'm going to the capital in a hurry. I contacted Sonia to gather everyone in the house before I left.

Once I returned, everyone is looking at me with worry. Those worries changed into confusion when Javier spoke.

"Hola amigos"

"…what?"

Of course they would be confused. I can guess what Hola means, but what is amigo?

"This is Javier. He appears and took control of Blobby for a while, so Victoria will be unavailable until he's gone. But he has something important to tell me, so I'm planning to go to the capital so Albert and I can listen to what he says." I summarized what happened.

"So you'll be going to the capital? When?" Kayla asked.

"Right away. Ian, if I rode on your back to the capital, how fast will you get there?"

"Probably around midnight."

So fast! Even me, if I run with full speed, I would arrive at the capital tomorrow at noon if I'm leaving right away! Now I'm jealous of those who can fly. I need to learn Air Steps soon.

"Then can I ask you to bring me there? And Sonia, inform Albert that I'm meeting him."

"Okay." Sonia said.

As for Ian, he asked for Ruby's permission first. Seeing how important the situation is, Ruby permitted Ian to leave with one condition.

"Bring Lana with you as well. Since you're going to meet her parents, it will be a shame if she didn't come with you."

We will be flying, but I don't have to worry about Lana's protection if she's with me. I can make Air Shield around her body. It's a weak protection, but if it's useful against normal wind. If it's hit by wind from magic, it will break easily. And Ian can make Wind Shield as well to protect Lana. She will be safe on flight.

"Sure. Jewel, even when I'm not around, don't slack off on training!"

"YES MASTER!" Jewel shouted.

She still can't control the volume of her voice well. But it's getting better. As long as it doesn't involve me, she won't raise her voice. Like when Kayla or the others asking her something, she will answer normally. But only when I told her to do something, she will raise her voice.

Is it because she worships me?

After preparing ourselves, I ride on top of Ian's giant falcon form with Lana in my embrace. Although my Air Shield should be able to protect her from the wind, it's still better if I embrace her.

We flew very fast and within few minutes, even with my Divine Vision, I can no longer see Cassau. Make me envious again with those who can fly.

With this speed Ian flew, I can match him if I run on land. But there are many obstacles, and there aren't any in the skies. That's why I won't reach the capital so fast.

Back in Cassau, Shirley also wanted to return to the capital. But she must have noticed from my reaction that it's something urgent, so she held back from asking.

She can fly as well with her wind element, but unlike Ian, she needed mana to stay in the air. She won't have enough mana to fly all the way to capital. That's why she can't join us. She will return home in another time.

Then midflight, Sonia appears and informs us on how to meet Albert, while I'm making funny face to entertain Lana.

"Roy… your face might traumatize her so stop it. Albert says that you need to enter the capital from the north. The security in the capital is heavily improved after the stampede. But for tonight, all the guards patrolling the north area are our people. They know we're coming. After you enter the capital, you can directly enter his chamber from the open window." Sonia said.

"Oh! It really is as you said! We will talk in his bedroom!"

Suddenly, the black slime who has been quiet all this time speak.

"How's Victoria?"

During the whole time he's quiet, it means that Victoria is asking him some questions. It took so long so maybe they have something similar. I hope it's not their hobby.

"We're good. My first master and Victoria both came from the same world. I had a lot of fun talking with her. Seems like that greeting I learned from my first master, 'Hola amigo' is from another language in her world. It means hello friend. Victoria and my first master lived in different countries in that world. And their main language also different. Victoria's home country's language is similar to the language we use in this world, which was called English in that world. While my first master's country's language is Spanish." Javier said.

"You've been watching us ever since I summoned you, right?"

"Yes. But I only know now that my first master is also from another world. I thought the way he spoke is just gibberish. Turns out it was another language. I should have learned more about his language."

"Was your master an Aura user?" It was Sonia who asked. I guess she's also curious about Javier's first master.

"No. But he's a genius in magic. He awakened five elements at once. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Summoning. Other than his summoning element which stays as beginner level since I can't fight, everything else has reached master element." Javier said.

"Then… does that mean you're able to talk with him when he's just a beginner level in summoning element?" I asked. If he could do that, then why did he keep quiet in both this life and in my previous life?

"I know what you want to ask, but I'll tell you everything when Albert is with us. It also involved how Victoria and I share a body."

"Okay. Then… are you really a black slime, or you were also a human in the past like Victoria?"

"Born as black slime. Raised as black slime. Living forever as black slime. I'm immortal after all."

"Are there any other summoners between your first master and me?"

"Yes. Several of them. But only you who has reached intermediate level in summoning element. None of my previous masters are Aura user. I was considered as flop even when I show them how smart I am by talking to them. After my first master died, I became wild monster and returned to Monsters World. Then each time a summoner activated a portal for their first summoning close to where I am, I quickly throw myself into the portal to be their summon."

"Can't you attack like Victoria? Turn yourself into human form and attack with weapon?"

"I couldn't before. Since I always summoned by mages who aren't Aura users, neither I or all my previous masters thought of that."

"Then… are you the one who returned me to the past?" I asked something I always curious about.

"Yes. I'll tell you about it later. We have reached the capital."

Now I will know how I returned to the past and for what reason. I can't calm down knowing that I will find the reason about my return to the past even though I always told others to calm down.

Wait! Does it mean Javier also come from the future since he knows that he's the one who brought me to the past!?
