"GET HIM!" Pete roared.
All ten charged in unison.
"This… this isn't good," Nokia thought, heart pounding. "There's too many of them. I don't know how I'm gonna deal with this, but—wait."

[⚡Flashback Initiated]
Nokia was at an art gallery, snapping pictures of a famous influencer swarmed by fans.
"Nokia…" the influencer whispered, shifting nervously. "I—I don't think I can pose right."
"And why is that?"
"There's just… so many people coming at me. It's overwhelming."
"Relax," Nokia said firmly. "Someone of your aura cannot let anxiety control how you come off."
"Then how do I deal with it?"
"Focus on one person at a time. A crowd is nothing more than a collection of singles. But if you treat the group as one giant thing, you'll drown in it."
"I see…" the influencer said, eyes widening.
"So remember—no matter how many come at you…"
[⚡ Flashback Ended ⚡]
"…you treat them as one."

Nokia's eyes lit up.
"Whoa…"
"GET HIM!" the men shouted, charging.
Nokia clenched his fist, reading the system window.
"Alright… it's gonna cost everything. Aura cost: 1000. Fine. Let's do it."
His aura flared violently.
"I didn't come this far… to back down!"
AURA PULSE!!!!
He pressed two fingers together and swiped to the side. A glowing circle of aura spread outward, humming with power.
As the men slammed into it, the barrier rebounded like a balloon, shoving them back.
"Begone!"
BOOM!
The aura sphere exploded outward in a shockwave, blasting all ten opponents to the ground.

Nokia's jaw dropped.
"What—? I just gained two thousand aura?"
"Whoa…" Nokia muttered as his body pulsed with energy. He staggered, then straightened, as a shockwave rippling inside him.
"My aura… it's getting stronger. I don't know how any of this makes sense…" He clenched his fist, eyes blazing with resolve. "But one thing I do know—"
He took a bold stride forward, voice echoing with conviction.
"In this world… I can farm aura. And that's not normal. If I can figure this out—use all my experience as a cameraman, capturing aura, retaining aura, never losing aura…"
He lifted his gaze to the horizon, eyes flashing.
"…then I just might become… something Extraordinary."
Just then a message popped up on Nokias HUD.
