My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 111: Planting The Seed of Doubt

Aur travelled through the streets with a frown on his face.

"If I had been any later, then that person might have really caught up to me."

Although the fight between Aur and those random people might have been seen as long, it actually happened in a matter of minutes.

And in those minutes, if Aur hadn't hurriedly escaped, then he might have had to face that unknown person with the power of at least a tier one wizard.

If his keen senses hadn't warned him, he might have had to really face a pointless fight for no reason whatsoever.

"Damn it, I have to be careful in the future." Aur cursed under his breath as he increased his pace even faster, while keeping a close attention to his surroundings.

Although he liked to test his strength to see if his physique was really comparable to a tier one wizard's spell, Aur wasn't stupid enough to risk his life for it; he had other ways to test it as well.

Until he reached the city wall, he was vigilant throughout the time. Only after reaching the gate did he heave a sigh of relief and hurriedly went inside, directly making his way towards the center of the village inside the academy.

"Whoever sent me a first-stage martial artist…" his crimson eyes narrowed as a frown slowly morphed into his face.

"Who could it be that would send a tier one wizard at me anyway?" Aur didn't remember offending any big shot who would send a first tier wizard to attack him.

As he made his way towards his dorm with a contemplative expression, he suddenly heard a feminine voice which made him abruptly halt his steps.

He looked back with his crimson eyes, seeing a woman with brown hair, Anne.

"What are you doing here?" Aur asked with a frown on his face.

"Aur, it wasn't really my fault…" Anne started to talk with a miserable expression on her face, with tears that were threatening to come out of her eyes.

Aur looked at her with his crimson eyes gleaming with a cruel glint. "What is this girl up to now?" He muttered.

"... I don't want your pity, Aur, but I just want to tell you that I am not that kind of woman…" Anne said while muttering.

"Are you done?" Aur rubbed her ears with a frown on his face.

"You." Anne looked at him with her eyes widened in disbelief.

Aur chuckled with a smirk on his face. "So, are you going to tell me to fight for Leo after this?"

"Huh," Anne looked at Aur with disbelief. "How did you know?" She spoke aloud.

"Well, from the looks of it, my guess was true." Aur said with a chuckle.

He slowly walked up to her with his hot breath stinging her ears, causing her to blush uncontrollably.

"You poor thing. Should you have been played by Leo? You are nothing but a pawn for him to get close to me and scheme against me." Aur said in a whisper, his smile like a devil's.

"What do you mean?" Anne asked with a frown on her face.

"I mean what I mean? Do you think with the status of Leo he will make you, a poor peasant of mortal origin, his girlfriend?" Aur spoke mysteriously. "After your purpose is fulfilled, you will be a toy he will use to fulfill his desires before leaving you like a broken doll."

Anne was expressionless as she looked at Aur with narrowed eyes.

"If you don't believe me, investigate it yourself. I thought you were an intelligent girl, however, even after Leo spread such a rumor about you, still he…" Aur shook his head with a sigh and left the place, leaving Anne with a contemplative expression.

She didn't stop Aur from leaving at all; instead, she just stayed at her place.

After a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes, her expression gradually turning stern.

"Let's see if it is true or not."

…

Aur returned back to his room with a chuckle on his face.

"What a naive girl…" he actually didn't know what was going on with Leo and Anne. Actually, whatever he had said was just his assumption based on the fact that her parents were mortals.

Although this wouldn't affect people in the academy much, since her talent was enough—in fact, it was her chance to leap from her mortal origin—it was inevitable for her to be discriminated against here.

Where there is intelligence, there will be biasness, while a person with mortal origin would still be looked down upon, no matter their talent.

Not only because of their origin but also because of their education and condition.

Even when Aur was in the group of Leo, Anne was always the one to talk, however, most of them turned a deaf ear to her words most of the time.

What he did to her was plant a seed of doubt and insecurity and plow it deep inside her, which would bloom inevitably.

Even if nothing happened, Aur wouldn't care—these were just simple moves by him.

"Good luck, Leo."

Aur extended his hand, and a ring slowly materialized in his hand.

"So, this is the inheritance, huh…" A small chuckle left his mouth. The shiny dark surface of the ring reflected in his eyes.

Before him, a vial materialized from his other hand.

Looking at the blood which was contained in it, he nodded his head with a satisfied expression.

"Looks like storage space from the system sure is useful."

Although the storage bag he got from buying it had more storage than the system one, the system one was still convenient for him rather than using the storage bag.

Not only was it helpful for hiding it, it was also helpful for him to hide some stuff that no one could access.

Aur directly poured the blood from the vial into the ring.

Shing!

A sound almost like a sword being sheathed resounded in the entire room.

Aur's ears twitched as he glanced at the ring with his narrowed crimson eyes.

However, except for the sound echoing in the room, nothing else happened.

Aur patiently waited for a long time, his expression stern the more he looked at the ring.

Whoosh!

The cold wind stabbed Aur as he blinked his crimson eyes.

Just at that moment, a laughter resounded in the room.

"After three thousand years, I have finally been awakened." An old man materialized in thin air, with his body entirely blue, almost like a hologram.

"Who is the lucky one who is going to be my master?"

He turned towards Aur. "Are you the one who awakened me?"

Aur became expressionless, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the old man.

"Hmm?" The old man visibly frowned. "Why are you not replying to this venerable?"

Silence!

Aur just remained silent, without a single word being spoken out of his mouth.

"Aren't you my master since you dropped your blood?" The old man said awkwardly.

"No," Aur said with a chuckle in a mocking tone.

"You dare underestimate this venerable?" The old man said with an expressionless face. "Even if you are my master, it doesn't mean you can be arrogant in front of me…"

As he released his terrifying pressure around the entire room.

Boom!

The ground began to tremble with the bed behind Aur creaking, the entire room seemed to tremble with just the mere existence of the old man.

However, Aur remained unmoved as he stood tall like a heavenly tower unfazed by the pressure, his bones made creaking sounds as if they were going to snap.

Aur.

But that was all.

His crimson eyes revealed a deep, bottomless hellfire that seemed to have no end to it.

"Are you done, Hanma?" Aur asked with a smile on his face.

"Oh, you know my name." Hanma paused with a surprised expression on his face.

"Yeah, I know your name—the demon of our village who vilely invaded our village and almost took control of us, but after you were defeated, you weeped and begged for mercy only to backstab at the end." Aur pointed at Hanma with a justice-filled expression.

"Today, I will slaughter you, vile demon, so that the genius who you killed previously shall rest in peace." His tone was nonchalant.

Hanma became entirely silent as he deeply looked at Aur.

"Who are you? Aren't you a mortal?" He asked. this-chapter-is-NovelFire

Aur smiled with a mysterious expression.

Hanma looked at the smile of Aur with narrowed eyes.

"I see, I have been tricked, hahaha." He laughed with a sneer on his face.

"All of you, show yourself, no matter who you are. Do you dare to think that trapping this Hanma will allow you to escape scot-free?" Hanma shouted in a loud roar.

However, to his surprise, nobody came, and a dull silence engulfed the room.

"There is no one here other than me here." Aur suddenly broke the silence with a smile on his face.

"Oh," Hanma raised his eyebrow while looking at Aur with a questioning gaze.
