Lack of sound doesn't guarantee unnoticeability in this universe, though. Aura gives a sort of sixth-sense to help with detection that isn't based on sight or hearing. They help, of course, but being without either certainly wouldn't be a problem for an experience aura user. I do agree that it's more than a simple utility (and, really, most utility-based powers could be used effectively for combat with enough creativity), but it's definitely not as useful as you'd like it to be.

Also, just because he can't leave Grimm alive doesn't mean he has to carry a weapon. If he prefers martial arts so much, why didn't he just practice it to the point that he could kill Grimm without a weapon? It's not like that kind of thing hasn't been shown already.
