"I hope that they will be safe. Maybe Kelvin can survive on his own. Knowing that he has level far surpassed mine. He has fifty plus on all his stats and I only have below than him. He will be safe with his armor on and it will be easy to slay enemies that were not as strong as the snakes. Despite it all, I don't know if the enemies were able to pierce his armor. I hope he will be okay." Kael said to himself.
Having checked the job-classes he got, he was still contemplating. He used to read books about them and it was the tradition of the noble families of job-classes to train their next generations to come about their job-classes. It was exclusively taught to them which made them high leveled when it comes to their job-classes. But they were low on their character level. Even though they have a low level of character stat, they were also taught about character stat cultivation. Knowing about it, they still lacked real-time experience due to them being sheltered on their golden spoons upbringing. Even the fact was slapped on his face, he didn't want to underestimate them. Due to them being high level when it comes to their job-class. The adventurers were job-classed but they were only taught by the subsidiary families of the nobles. Kael understands that he has to pay a hefty amount to be training on them and it will be a low level. Limited only to level twenty. Breaking the level cap has to be making close ties with them and has to be making huge favor for them. Which is not favorable for Kael, he might become their dogs for life.
They will be having an upcoming entrance exam in the academy and many nobles and non-nobles will join. He will prepare for their test and it will be a tough one. The nobles always have the upper hand knowing that they were trained by their family. Kael was born on a lord but they were a family of technique users.
"What was better? The technique or the job-class?" He asked himself.
He was baffled by the notion of what was better–the job class or techniques. Knowing that he almost got killed recently but the adventurers were unscathed. Knowing it, he was more amazed by the fact that the three mercenaries were only three but they have survived. They also defeated job-classed swordmen using their Kael family techniques.
"Just how strong a technique is? I am starting to wonder if my father taught everything to me. Maybe he only taught the basics and I have to find out the rest. Maybe he wanted me to discover it by myself!" Kael said while talking to himself.
While contemplating, he was struck by a train of thoughts. He immediately realized that his techniques were not strong enough to be compared to the mercenaries.
He smiled wryly and grinned like a grim reaper. He has gained an idea that will make him stronger by leaps and bounds without using the job-classes of the nobles. He planned to use the techniques of his family on the entrance exam without a job-class. Thinking of it, it was his original plan in the first place. He went on with his practice for the idea he has recently.
"If I focus myself to gather [Force] while sparring with the air, maybe I will be getting used to it in the past. Incorporating the aura to my attacks while I have the chance to improve myself." Kael said to himself.
"I have remembered now! The aura was force gathering, force releasing, and lastly was the body enhancing! Damn, I forgot about the basics! In the past, I am just focusing on the force gathering and releasing and ended up forgetting the body enhancement! I will gather force and it will further enhance my body. Making the force trapped inside you and thus making your strength to be explosive!" Kael said in his self.
Knowing about it, he went on with his experiment. He first gathers [Force] while he was on it. He used different weapons to be getting used to them while on the gathering stage. He slashed his sword shield while gathering [Force]. As he slashed, his gathering stage was disrupted. He was struggling deep inside to gather [Force] and as he swings the sword, his focus in the gathering was disturbed.
"Damn! This was easy with the light weapons but as I used heavy weapons, my strength was sucked by my gathering of [Force]. It seemed like it was my strength that was used for it. Hmmm, so I need strength for gathering it and thus releasing it to the outer part of the body. Now I know the fundamentals of Aura. I gotta make it my own and use it as much as I like in the battle. This will be useful if I can control it freely." Kael said while alone.
He noticed that it was his strength that was used by the time he gathers the [Force]. Knowing about it, he resumed cultivating his strength as far as he can. He was looking at his stats while exercising.

He further used all his stamina to cultivate his strength. While having weights on his arms and legs, his strength rose far more quickly. He was thinking of putting all his stats to his strength right now but refrained from doing so. He deeply needed it only on emergencies and has stat cultivation right now. Knowing it, he further strengthened himself.

He saw that it has risen by three points. He closed his window and resumed his practice in his research.
"Will this improve as I use it? I gotta try it as soon as possible." Kael said in his self.
He gathered [Force] in his body and swings his sword.
Swoosh!
He gathered [Force] and when he swings it, He barely made it and has only gathered little. "It was a success! But not enough! Gotta try a little more!" Kael said.
He put down his weapon and gasped air. Concluding that it was a success made him be at ease a bit. He has used his stamina while cultivating his strength thus he rested. He went again to the window side and was observing. While he was at it, he can hear the cocks of the roosters. Knowing that it was in the middle of the night and the start of a new day. Meaning, it was starting to be morning.
"A new day and I haven't rested for the night. I mean, I have enough time for myself for a while and was quite energetic. Not minding the time he was currently on. Maybe tomorrow morning will be peaceful as they will be successful with their assault. I will be resting for now so I can continue with my experiment. It was halfway there but still not satisfactory. I gotta train more to achieve the desired result." Kael said by the window side.
He went to wash with warm water in the bathtub. He felt refreshed with the warm water and has revitalized with his worn-out muscles. After it, he went to his bed and slept. Feeling that the cold season was coming, he covered himself with the blanket and warmed himself with his heat. He felt sleepy as the time goes by and thus slept till the morning.
