As I landed in front of the carriage with the apparent grace of a butterfly, the carriage which was now only 70 meters away from me had stopped in it's place.
I could see the multiple soul flames within flicker, which promptly made me use my analysis skill to analyse their emotions.

'hmm?~' I thought while raising a brow, before plastering a nice smile on my face.
"Yo" I greeted while blurring to the front of the horseless carriage, making the driver put his hand on his sheathed knife.
"Wait wait, that's my daughter!" My father shouted with panic.
"Isn't your daughter like, 6? How the hell is what your daughter sir?! That movement speed too, she must be a beast disguised under a humans body!" The driver shouted while unsheathing his knife.
Before he could act, my father grabbed the knife and put it to his throat while whispering "Point your knife at my daughter and your head will no longer be attached to your body."
Feeling a shiver go down his spine, he finally decided to lay down and let it go, however, he would still keep his guard up just in case.
Opening the door of the carriage, I walked in with a bright smile on my face while looking towards the two children in front of me before sitting down opposite them and next to my father.
"You got here pretty fast" my father mused
"I sure did" I simply replied.
2 hours later
The smile I once had been wiped off my face and replaced with a bored uninterested expression.
The other two had seemed to see this, causing them to have extremely smug expressions while looking at me in distain, as if saying "Who told you to come"
This trip was going to be 2 to 3 days long, and was about to be the most boring 2 yo 3 days of my life. While at first, I was excited to see the 'district of waves' and with it, everyone in 'Poseidon Academy' that is powerful. However, now that I have to go through the 'Pleasure' of traveling on this slow a*s carriage, I had already started regretting my life decisions, while also thinking of how I had gotten to this point in my life.
'God I hate humans!' I thought
"Dad, can't we just run there?" I asked
"Unlike the monstrous body and stamina you have, not everyone is the same! You had to realise not everyone can catch up to a carriage as quick as you did" My father reprimanded
"Ugh! It's so slow! Can I sit on top of the carriage then? That is the very least I can do so I don't die of boredom" I complained
"Sure" My father replied which made the driver twitch in irritation.
'does this man think he owns this carriage?' The driver thought in irritation, but he couldn't do anything.
I quickly opened the door and used the part above the door to swing myself into a black flip and land on the roof. Landing there, I quickly dropped to the floor of the roof before laying down and looking at the sky while closing my eyes.
4 hours later we had gotten close to one of the towns where I hoped that I would find some nice food to eat that wasn't the same old bread that I would buy every week from the town center where we lived.
'ahh, nature... Leaves... grass... smoke.... cooked meat...the beautiful screa-...ms..
My nose had immediately picked up the scent of blood and cooked flesh. I had no idea how far or close it was in terms of accurate distance, but the lost I could do was pinpoint the place using sound.
"Analysis" I muttered under my breath

"Damn these eyes are useful" I mused to myself while getting ready to jump.
Before jumping, I had realised I probably should tell my father where I was going. Flipping my torso to the side to allow me to peak from the window of the carriage, allowing my father and brothers to only see my upside down head, I knocked on the window grabbing their attention.
"There is a village raid nearby so I'm going to go there. Wanna join?' I asked with a soft smile.
"A village raid?" my father said I'm shock before furrowing his brows and summoning his sword from his dimensional storage ring.
"Don't go anywhere! This is no joke Panni! I know you three haven't killed people so just stay and watch while I do everything. These people don't care if you are a child, mother, elderly... They slaughter everyone and I don't want you to see that" my father declared while standing up from his seat. I could are an imaginary holy light shining on his face that only made me chuckled inwardly
'I did tell him that I haven't killed anyone didn't I'
"Dad, we can just support you from afar, so we should be fine right? You know how strong I am" I replied with a bright smile
"Seeing the conflicted look on my father's face, I knew what I did had worked. On the one hand, my father wanted to keep us safe and sound, but on the other hand, with our help he could save more lives.
"Okay but don't leave the cliff side" My father sternly demanded
'Sure" I replied
"Yes father" The two boys said while straitening their backs.
"Good, now I'm going to go, stay safe" my father declared while crouching down to his ankles and jumping up with all his power. Immediately, I feel something that I had never felt before, an overwhelming energy that was not mana nor physical strength. At best, it reminded me of the scent of souls.
"Analysis" I thought while the feeling of my mana being sucked descended on my body. This was not a feeling I could ever get used to, nor was it something I have ever felt when using 'analysis'

Mana, soul and Intent has been analysed
…
Battle Intent - Battle intent is a form of intent created and strengthen through countless battles. It can also be amplified by precise killing intent. Battle Intent can be changed into pure battle aura, which can be used both offensively and defensively, by coating you or your weapons to make them stronger, tougher or sharper. Pure exhaustion of battle intent can cause changes in the environment depending on the nature of the intent.

…
'Well, that explains a lot.' I thought while an unconscious smile curled up on my face. The evidence of me being able to gain more power had put a weird excitement within me. I for some reason felt drawn towards the tremendous aura being exuded from my father. The sheer battle intent caused me to grit my teeth and clench my shaky fist. It might have been because of my unquenchable thirst for soul energy which seems to be what empowers Battle aura's, or just my usual normal thirst for both battles and power, maybe a little blood too.
*SLAP*
Smacking my face with my palms to wake my self up from my weird desires, I quickly got out of my reverie and expanded my senses to make sure no one is planning to sneak up on us. No matter how strong I was or how confident I was within my own power, to the point where I could let my guard down in a situation like this, with my brothers around, I couldn't do that anymore.
In this whole group, they were the clear weak links to any one watching, and to me, they were worse than weak links. They were idiots who didn't know a single thing about killing another human, yet my father entrusted them to be able to protect themselves in this kind of battlefield full of criminals willing to kill families and children for an extra coin?
Darting my eyes around, I observed the entire area for any abnormal movement that couldn't be due to just the wind. Immediately, I spotted 5 mana signatures moving towards us from 3 different places. 2 solos and a three man team. They all seemed both magically and spiritually weak which I could tell by just looking at their soul flame, however, it's never good to underestimate the opponent.
I remember beating those guys who assaulted me every single day, but just a day after I find out that those weren't even the real henchmen, just some high school kids picking on me for some extra bucks.
Locking my eyes on the nearest target, my smile extended from ear to ear, showing an unsettling smile behind the mask of boredom that I usually put on around people. I quickly summoned my pitch-black makes with golden cracks, the same one that I was using when fighting against people back in the forest to hide my identity.
Getting my light's brigade out, I was fully ready to kill, making an abnormal amount of bloodlust surge from within me like a broken dam.. Bloodlust enough to freeze up an unintelligent awakened Beast which purely emits bloodlust.
