Teresa had the ability to detect Yoma aura, allowing her to accurately predict
an opponents next action. Later in the series, Clare uses the same technique
to battle the male awakened being. Is it because she became a claymore using
Teresa's flesh and blood, or did she hone this particular technique to a
cutting edge specifically for the purpose of battling Yoma?

claymore
Is Clare able to detect Yoma aura due to Teresa's flesh and blood being the base of her power, or because she honed this ability to a cutting edge?


It's a bit of both.

These are Clare's official data book stats for when the series starts (up
until the battle in the north), from the perspective of the organization. She
has the lowest possible rank in nearly every stat, except a D in Willpower and
a C+ in perception. It contains the following two facts about her perception:

> A "+" indicates an extra level of proficiency above the average.

and

> Her perception is "+", which is probably because she became a solider by
> taking in the flesh and blood of the former #1, Teresa.

So as far as the Organization is concerned, at least, what skill she does have
in Perception is attributed to Teresa. Teresa was ranked as S in perception,
with the special skill of [Preemptive
Sensing](http://claymorenew.wikia.com/wiki/Preemptive_Sensing).

Clare, however, was deeply shaped by Teresa's death at the hands of the
awakened Priscilla. She became a Claymore for the singular purpose of revenge.
Starting in Chapter 25 Clare joins the Paburo hunt. This turns out to pit them
against a (male) awakened being, who makes short work of everyone but the team
leader Miria. The other members get a clue to Clare's sensing ability when she
provides quick and accurate insights into the extent of Miria's ability. When
Miria is exhausted and overwhelmed, Clare gets back up.

The awakened being is completely unable to land a hit on her, and it's then
that we learn that this is far more than the weakest warrior's inheritance.
This is a skill honed for that one, singular purpose.
