Chapter 4
Midnight started running after Natasha. He began to notice his speed was way greater than when he was a human, but Natasha was even faster. Midnight focused all of his attention on catching up with her. After a minute, he had not only caught up with her, but he passed her altogether. When he stopped, he was at a clearing. It was then that the exhaustion from the running hit him. After a few minutes, Natasha got there and saw him breathing heavily. "What happened?" he asked. "You probably manipulated you aura," Natasha answered, giggling. "What's so funny?" Midnight asked. "It's just that you wanted me to teach you how to manipulate your aura, and you taught yourself, but, either way, you still need some practice, then we will get started on some attacks." "Okay," Midnight said. "But before we get started, is manipulating my aura always going to be this, well, exhausting?" "It gets easier," Natasha said, smiling. "What about when you healed me?" "Well, when I manipulated your aura to heal your leg, it took no effort. All I really did was focus on my gratitude towards you." Natasha said, blushing. "So on that note, let's get started with some attacks."
"First move I will teach you will be Aura Sphere," Natasha said. "Okay, what do I do?" Midnight asked. "First, close your eyes and focus on your aura." "Okay, what next?" "Then visualize it," Natasha said. After a few minutes, Midnight opened his eyes. In front of him, he saw a glowing sphere of his aura. Slowly, he reached towards it. When he did, the sphere glowed even more brightly. He looked towards Natasha for further instruction. She then gestured to a huge boulder in the middle of the clearing. Now sure of what to do, he thrust the Aura Sphere towards it. As soon as it made contact, the rock shattered, and dust flew everywhere. When the dust settled, there were no traces of the boulder. Natasha stared at Midnight in disbelief. "What incredible power!" "What's wrong, Natasha?" Midnight asked. "It's just that I misjudged your power." "You call that power? I'm just getting started." "Don't get too confident now," Natasha said, jokingly.
