Aura Reading and Combat.

Posted on September 07, 2008 @ 03:07AM

I have to admit, I’d never really paid too much attention in aura reading classes. As a splicer, it was always kind of inherent. You could see it all around you, this faint, glow, or outline around people. It always helped to get a good feel for people, and you could tell if someone was being straight up with you, or if they were blatantly lying to your face, but I’d never thought of it past that.

Mr. Naseden, my self-defense instructor, told me it was essential to learn to read auras as fully and deeply as possible. As splicers, he’d tell me we have inherent abilities, over humans. Him and I were splicers with enhanced, strength and dexterity.
“We need to use that.” he said. “We’re stronger and we can hit harder. When we apply the ancient martial arts, we can focus that into something truly powerful.”
“So what about the aura reading then?” I asked.
“If you know an opponent, so fully, so deeply, you can read their moves, judge them before they act. This, is why you must excel at aura reading. Aura reading is not a cheap trick to impress your friends at parties, it is not a skill to waste wanting to know if someone likes you. It is what makes us inherently deadly.”

Naseden continued,
“If the aura flares black, you know that they are angry, pale grey, they are frustrated. This is when you strike. Remember that. You have to think about their moods, their motivations. Know them better than they know themselves, because you can see it. They can only feel it.”

“But what about the Black Guards?” I asked, how do we read their aura? Surely they don’t have them.”
“Maybe not, he replied. But they’ll have recruits, collaborators. Mutants and splicers who feel like they got a raw deal in life. Who are so full of hate and bile that they’ll hurt anyone to get back to them. We can take them out. The Black Guards, we’ll just take them apart.”
