Wow........well.......this would make some very interesting fanfic material.

I can still see that you're holding onto that theory that Dust is made from souls. I think you said before that it came from superhumans who were being persecuted by the fearful commoners. So, as I understand it, the new big bad is "The Genius."

Okay, well, I have a few questions/comments:

How is Aura so easy to unlock nowadays, i.e, what did the Genius have to "research" about unlocking Aura since Pyrrha seems to have done it with no hassle?

Where did the the Genius get those millions of souls? Were those the millions of animal souls she had converted all at once or were they just humans that she kidnapped over a long period of time?

I thought actually that the fauna might have come after the Grimm War. Going by your speculation, if those millions of souls that were released into the world with the conversion of the Genius were all animal souls, then I thought some of them would form natural reservoirs of Dust while some of it would seep into the human populace. Sort of like radiation, I guess. These souls (since they are from animals) would then cause animal features to be born into humans. This would also explain the animosity that normal humans hold for Fauna because of their connection to the Grimm and the War against the Genius.

Where does "The Position" come into this? Was that the one noble/Aura user who had their own agenda and led the battle against the Genius?
