The Aura King.
It was a title given to the strongest ki user of a generation. Sometimes, the heavenly title could skip generations as some generations were considered useless and irredeemable.
Hence, one could imagine Reve's shock when he finally absorbed what Nikan said, "I see. He was stopped at [Ki Conversion]."
[Ki Conversion] was not a rank of ki mastery. Instead, it was something had to start learning from the moment they were able to manipulate ki. It was usually a long process but most would be done by the time they become a ki master.
"Yes, I just said that," stated Nikan.
"If it as you say, then perhaps my mind doesn't want to move on and is clinging on to something important?" analyzed Reve.
He had thought of that before but, at this moment, it held more meaning than the last time.
Suddenly, his big brain began to work. He put two and two together and realized that Nikan was absolutely right. The real question wasn't about his magic style. It was about what was missing!
If so, how should he dig it out?
Noticing his lack of experience with issues like these, he could only listen to Nikan.
The latter understood what Reve was thinking and offered, "Let's retrace thing back. There's gotta be a sign. Something you are missing. Have you ever felt the desire to emulate a fighting style?"
"Desire….Hmmmm...desire," wondered Reve.
So far, he hadn't seen any unique fighting style.
…...Wait, he had!
The shadow!
He was the only person that made Reve imitate him. Reve went as far as to create [Morai] due to his influence.
"Yeah," Reve responded.
"Who?"
"The shadow"
"The shadow who?"
"The shadow"
"The shadow what?"
"The shadow-shadow."
"Bloody hell, I don't fucking know who the shadow is, do I?" screamed Nikan.
"Oh, the shadow was one of my opponents in Amethyst's trial," told Reve.
He looked at Nikan and realized the latter wasn't getting enough context so he manipulated the earth and created a small stage that resembled the hall where Reve fought the shadow.
Two figures rose in the small hall to represent Reve and the shadow. They moved on to fight exactly how Reve remembered the real fight.
After the fight was concluded and the stage dissolved, Nikan raised his brows in disbelief, "Is this where you got the martial art? No, it doesn't seem to be one…..peculiar. It is more like a general fighting style that could be achieved through various means. However...."
Just like how Reve was a genius when it came to magic, Nikan was an absolute beast, no pun intended, when it came to martial art. His ability to analyze battle techniques was even better than Reve's.
This could be seen from how the latter broke down Reve's cloning spell without Reve telling him the full details.
"It manipulates a force and doesn't require any form of energy to pull it off. Yet, if augmented by, let's say, ki, it would unleash a destructive potential, just like the attack you used against me. I can also see you replicated the concept for your movement skill. I'm a hundred percent sure this is the missing piece!"
Reve sighed, "I know that, but I still feel I'm lacking sufficient knowledge. I can't perfectly merge this style with a battle mage's style."
"Then, let's start from there?"
"What?"
"Everything begins somewhere. So, I suggest beginning the merging process and we will see what we can do. You can expect to get full points on the first try. You seriously need to get out of that mindset," said Nikan.
"We?"
"Of course, we. I'm also interested in the fighting style. Using your memory and our joint brain, we should be able to retrace the concept. Don't forget, it is the concept we need," warned Nikan.
It was not his first time analyzing a fighting style. His experience shone like a beacon of light in situations like this.
"True, with our combined intellect, I see a possibility of success. It will be faster if we test it out by sparring occasionally. Ha, I now have another stuff added to my schedule," sighed Reve.
Quickly, both of them focused on the earth. Reve recreated the stage as well and the tiny figure.
As those figures fought, Reve and Nikan began their analysis!

[Reve's Random Lectures: Ki Mastery(Aura) Ranks
-> A concept coined collectively by the people of Arcadia after understanding the practice of Nixy's classification of raw power.
-> Unlike the universal level ranks, Ki Mastery is easier to evaluate as every Ki User is conscious of the differences in each level group. It can even be said that all Ki Mastery can be done without the assistance of the world administrator.
-> It is to be noted that the universal level ranks are different from the Ki Mastery ranks, as while universal level ranks measure raw power, Ki Mastery is stricter. It measures the process involved in the ascension of one state of being, as that is the grand objective of every ki user.
-> It is also to be noted that while bearing similarities, the level ranks of various paths remain different from the Ki Mastery ranks.
-> It is also to be noted that a ki user can access a level range without following the process of their path. That is where titles come in. They are given to those who accessed the level range while following their path.
-> It is also to be noted that, unlike the magic path, the ki path possesses names for the level ranges which is different from the titles/rank names of the level range.
