'No. Knights are proud of their roots. To the point that they have marriages with strong warrior families. The reason they are pricks is that they do not shut up about their bloodline.'
"Uhm, Tsugumi-sama, I don't think using a sword on Master is going to have a good outcome."
'Knights like most nobility had inflated egos about their status as above the common folk. The divide between commoner and noble has always existed everywhere monarchies exist.'
"Thank you for your opinion Aurum. But I think this will be what is needed. Here take my niece."
'More specifically, their pride in the legacy and bravery of their parents. Thus by expectation just by being from their bloodline, they are immediately superior to everyone else like most nobility.'
"Lady Tsugumi, I strongly advise against this. Geo, Lars help!"
'Nobility specifically loved pushing this narrative. Everything from how they eat, and act, to who they marry is influenced by their status and nobility. Even just being with a commoner is considered as something beneath their status.'
"Tsugumi-sama? Aurum what is going on?"
'Marriage? Wait! Marriages! What if Aura is something that can be passed? If you have a mom and dad who had a strong Aura what if your kid gets it by default? Then wouldn't the oldest bloodlines have an OP amount of Aura?'
"Master is in brain mode, and Tsugumi-sama wants to smash him awake! Help me!"
'The Valorious continent has a history of five thousand years. The number of generations a single strong family would have would easily span a hundred iterations. How powerful would the Aura of these people be?'
"Thank you for your dedication to my brother, but I know him best. Stand aside all three of you! I am in a really bad mood!"
'But if a lineage is the key to creating stronger Aura, then not only knights but all nobility should have as great if not more than them, but most nobles have little to none. Why is that?'
"Otto-kun, you asked for this. [WISHING STAR]!"
Hiro then felt his back assaulted with a series of stabs numerous like falling rain. The blows were strong and hurt quite a bit. A few blows smacked the reincarnator in the head.
'My sister is turning into a combat junkie, that fucking hurt… Combat? COMBAT! Only knights are constantly embroiled in combat, nobles while having a proper lineage do not engage in battle!'
"Lady Tsugumi! Please stop! When Master is in this state, he is analyzing something! It might be of incredible importance!"
'Then no wonder only knights have such a bloodline, if taking life grants you power, that power would need to constantly be in the battle to retain its purity. Thus if knights become of higher nobility, they would not battle as much diluting it.'
"Get out of my way! [Wishing Star]!"
'But what am I missing? Aura is something passed but is not the pedigree nor lineage. And is related to combat. If someone is connected to your origin and the memory of your entire lineage.'
Hiro again felt a series of attacks that slammed against his body, like the first one this attack had meticulous attention to detail it didn't hit any major organs and simply made the butcher's entire body ring from impacts.
(Antheia's law is 'Remember your past and keep strong their memory for by their sacrifice you were born. Embrace your origin as it will make you whole.)
The butcher smashed towards the ground not moving multiple nonlethal wounds oozing with red liquid that dripped to the ground.
'Ouch, that hurt, stop being a pest Tsugu I am thinking. Look how many holes I have and I am bleeding… bleeding… blood? Blood is passed from parent to son. Even on earth memories and biological responses are encoded in DNA. Keep strong their memory… Wait.'
"Tsugumi-sama! How can you call yourself his sister when you are harming your brother while he is defenseless?"
'I am looking at this all wrong. What if something is being passed not Aura? Something like a biological response. A memory. What if the memory of the battle is the thing being passed into something like DNA and Aura is only a by-product, not the goal? And embracing means learning about it.'
Hiro then remembered how the Savior's diary describes Aura or its effects on a demon lord. Unlike when he figured out Spirit, the answers he had were far in between. The reincarnator needed to piece together the clues from Tsugumi's sudden boost and the Regalia.
(Dius's power which is an overwhelming energy from his body dulls the ferocity of the demon lord each time he is killed.)
'Aura kills the ferocity of a demon lord why? You lose ferocity when you feel you are going to lose. The reason why one would lose is quite few either the enemy is stronger or better equip or if they have higher morale.'
"Move away. Ototo-kun I don't even what you to call me Nee-sama anymore. Just let me hit you one last time!"
The man then felt his body being raised by his color, he then saw the bloodthirsty Tsugumi radiating bloodlust!
'FUCK! IT'S BLOOD LUST! You would lose if the enemy emits a lot of blood lust. Blood lust can only be gained by killing people or monsters that is why the lineage must always be in combat.'
Hiro then felt numerous punches hit his cheeks like a machine gun. The aura covering them allowed the attack to bruise Hiro's face.
'Aura is bloodlust that is passed from generation to generation! Your blood remembers the feeling but not the battle! You embrace your bloodline's history by remembering the battles! The reason Tsugumi gains aura is not because of knowing why she is born it is what she said after.'
(…I wondered why I was granted my strength. Now I know why. I was born to fight for you Nii-sama. AND ON THAT DAY, NONE WILL CHALLENGE ME.)
'Tsugumi embraced her bloodlust! She gained Aura the moment she wanted to annihilate the [Forsaken]! That's why aggression is the by-product of Aura! FUCK I FINALLY GOT IT!'

Exiting brain mode Hiro excitedly looked at Tsugumi and said his heartfelt gratitude.
"Thank you Tsugu, you are the best!"
"Aurum help. I think I hit Ototo-kun too hard and he broke…"
