August suppressed his energy fluctuations so perfectly that he almost seemed like a normal human without any magical power. Claire, a master of sensing energy, was inwardly shocked as even her heightened senses couldn't detect anything from him. She marvelled at his control over his soul, recognizing that August possessed a unique and exceptional essence.
"It still amazes me how much control he has over his own soul," Claire thought to herself, her mind filled with awe and respect. "This proves once again what I and the others believe about Faction Leader: he has a special soul."
Unbeknownst to Claire, August's feat was not achieved solely through his own abilities. Rhea, the hyper advanced sentient artificial intelligence residing within his abnormal soul, had played a crucial role in helping him achieve such perfect suppression. August himself remained unaware of Claire's thoughts as his focus was entirely directed towards a peculiar piece of black rock in front of him.
