Only I'm Need

[AN: I have lots of AN at the end to help explain some shit. Will make a separate chapter later to put them all in the chapter and explain better.]

=-= First Person Quail =-=

The second I felt my conscious return, I forced my self to wake up with a high alert.

Instead of being impulsive and accidentally worsening my wounds, I lay on the floor with my eyes open scanning what I can, while I used my senses to located my wounds.

My wounds seemed to be slowly closing, although the pain is still there. Because of my wounds healing itself I could've already deduced that it was my aura at play. And for some reason, I can't 'see' my aura. But I can definitely sense it.

Anyways, since I can't really move at all because I don't want to aggravate my injuries, I attempted to use my aura to sense around me.

Aura is said to be mostly instincts on how they work and to really consciously use them, you must practice a bunch.

And since I need to at least get one scan out there, I attempted to feel my aura at first.

Aura is like a fuzzy feeling surrounding your body. It's both there and not there[2]

Grabbing onto the not there aspect of aura, I used it kinda like a radar pulse and sent it outwards.

Soon I felt a wave kinda go outside of me and spread into where ever my surrounds are.

Although, I mistake I seem to have made is that the radar pulse isn't coming back, so I need to modify my new technique a bit.

=-= Five Minutes Later =-=

Basically, I just straight made a sonar radar pulse, that bats use.

So I basically sent out my sonar pulse and waited for results.

It didn't take long at all.

Maybe like a nanosecond.

Because I f.u.c.k.e.d up really bad and my brain is being overloaded with information.

*passes out*

=-= Few Minutes Later =-=

Once I woke up, I immediately went through my memories and basically made a mental map on what my surrounds are.

From what I can tell, I'm just laying in a bush in the forest.

Looking back at my memories and crossing them with my technique, I realized my major mistake.

Every time the pulse came back, it would send EVERY information it had, so I needed to change it and give it certain modes.

After several hours of experimenting and passing out, I made the new modes.

[Basic Scan]: The basic scan allowed me to get a rough idea of the surrounds with only the shape in mind, not details.

[Soul Scan]: This scan basically scanned for anything that had an Aura level. This included anything that has an aura.

[Grimm Scan]: Because Grimm had no aura, I modified and combined this scan with [Basic Scan]. The Grimm scan searches for anything moving, that is of reasonable size, and checks to see if it has no Aura. If it has no Aura then it would send me the location and what the object looks like roughly.

[Complete Scan]: This was the scan I first made and it sends me information about everything. Currently, my brain cannot handle the stress that this technique has, but once I start training my brain with the other scans, I will eventually be able to use the [Complete Scan].

As for the distance of the scans, it depends on how much aura I put into it and the control I have in it, as without control, then I'm just wasting my aura levels.

Moving on, I systematically went through [Basic Scan], [Soul Scan], and [Grimm Scan] constantly to not only be aware of the surroundings but also to help improve my mental capacity and improve my aura control.

It's been over 3 hours since I started my 'training'.

Well, Yo-

Shit, Grimm!

Steadily and slowly getting up as to not f.u.c.k my wounds as much, I started to focus only on [Grimm Scan].

Also not only that but since I was afraid of my emotions that might act up, I decided to use the aura as something like cloaking and put my intent on masking emotions.

And while I was walking/speed running away from the Beowulf, I worked on my newest technique, which I'm going to call [Emotion Masking].

Currently, the Beowulf wasn't targeting me specifically as my emotion levels weren't high at all. But since they usually travel in a pack and I do indeed see them using my [Grimm Scan], it is only a matter of running away.

There are also countless variables to take into account like discovering more Grimm, my emotions spiking up, animal attacks, getting infected with some disease, and such.

The [Emotion Masking] helps to reduce some of those unknown variables.

And since I don't really need to constantly use [Grimm Scan], I used all three scans expect [Complete Scan] to help me map out an area.

And since my scanning doesn't take a lot of Aura, I was fine with using it constantly as long as I had certain timings on their use.

And if I had interactions with people that had their Aura, now that I had Aura, I would've been able to tell, that I had a smaller than average Aura capacity, with an extremely fast Aura recovery speed.

Although I don't.

I'm just breaking the fourth wall and manipulating time to see the future.

Anyways, back to my still ignorant, non-fourth wall breaking self.

As I was rotating through the scans and reached the [Grimm Scan] I noticed that the further I got, the more Grimm there was.

Taking this as I bad sign, I quickly turned into the direction with the least amount of Grimm and started walking.

And at this point, I was walking a bit slower to allow my wounds to heal and also, to make sure I had enough energy, should a fight break out.

As I had deemed [Emotion Masking] too dangerous to experiment on currently, as it could mess with your brain, I held the incomplete technique off to the side and attempted to clear my mind.

Once my mind was clear, I took a deep breath and activated [Complete Scan] with a radius of a quarter mile. The amount of Aura [Complete Scan] took, put me down to about 10%.

As the information started flowing in, I couldn't help but breath out deeply in.

As I was on the verge of screaming my a.s.s out, I took a deep breath and breath out. I repeated this process over and over until the pain wore off managing not to scream and attract Grimm.

Once the pain subsided a bit, I took the time to sort through my memories and quickly formed my mental map.

And looking at the said mental map, I knew I was going to be in a load of f.u.c.k.i.n.g pain.

Because of the pain, my emotions spiked for a few seconds before going down once I did the breathing technique.

And counting the Grimm number, I can say I am royally f.u.c.k.e.d if I don't unlock my semblance soon.

Assuming my semblance is useful in combat situations.

Cause dear lord, I don't think a 5-year-old can handle 12 Beowolves, 3 Ursai, 3 Death Stalkers, 2 King Taijitu, 4 Boarbatusk, and 2 Nevermores.

Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind was how f.u.c.k.i.n.g BADA.S.S they look!

LIKE DAMN!

Moving on the second thought I had, was how the f.u.c.k are all of this random Grimm with different species working together.

I mean I know there is Salem, but unless she specifically ordered this way, then I'm confused.

Although there is the possibility of an older Grimm ordering them.

Anyways it doesn't matter.

Cause I'm royally f.u.c.k.e.d.

And they are heading in my directions.

Long a.s.s AN below.

[2][AN: Since this is AU, Aura is like Chakra with the physical and spiritual aspect, hence the there and not there. Although in this case, since most people don't really use the physical aspect and experiment new techniques like in Naruto, they can't and overtime bloodline have polluted certain talents to help control the physical. So physical is mostly instincts and spiritual is mostly seen as a reserve. To sum it up, Aura is Chakra, but the Aura is mostly instincts with not enough people experimenting and spreading ideas. Greedy f.u.c.ks, we should purge them heretics.]

[AN: I made a chart of various speeds of recovery speed using aura, but I realized that I've been thinking of game mechanics and not real life you know. So since this is a fanfiction and AU, I'm going to change aura so it heals in game mechanics and even if your legs and arms are chopped off you can recover them. But of course, there are various things like bleeding you can still die from, throat cut equals death still and such. And the recovery only happens once you are outta combat. Minor injuries can be recovered during combat and that's only cuts or bruises. Serious injuries only recover outta combat, but if you bleed f.u.c.k.i.n.g like a fountain then you better pray you're outta combat asap and your recovery speed is light speed or your d.e.d. And since there are too many factors to calculate and I'm lazy to write all of them and implement it into my chart, I'm just gonna be vague in writing. But if you really want me to, I will take some time and figure all this shit out. Your choice.]
