My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 131: Choosing a Faction?

"No." Asmodeus replied with a chuckle instead.

"I am not scamming you. These aren't normal vampires. The ones you usually see are the descendants of the previous diluted bloodline of vampires. They are basically a fraction of even the diluted bloodline of the vampires; however, this blood is the true vampire bloodline."

"True vampire bloodline?" William's eyes narrowed. "Is that true, Lily?"

Lily hesitated tentatively for a moment before she reluctantly agreed. "Yes, master, this is the true vampire bloodline."

"This… this can really cure me?" William asked with disbelief.

"Yes, it can, master. However-"

Just as Lily was about to continue, her body of the holy book trembled.

William unhesitantly directly swallowed the drop of malevolent blood.

"Hmm?" He accessed his body; however, nothing had happened to him as he waited patiently, but there was nothing that happened to him even till now.

"Why isn't it working?" William asked with a frown.

"Look at your real body in the real world." Asmodeus said with almost rolled eyes.

"Oh yes." William hit his head as he slowly opened his blue eyes, seeing the familiar ceiling again. He sighed.

The green light still erupted continuously; however, his internal injury healed rapidly without any stopping from his poison. Although he was still malnourished, however, the main cause which was continuously making his health worsened disappeared as if it wasn't there in the first place.

"I recovered this easily?" William thought with his eyes widened.

…

Aur was slowly guided into the office of the Leader by Adriana.

She lightly knocked on the door and asked tentatively, "May I come in, leader?"

"Come in."

As Aur entered, immediately he was engulfed in a terrifying aura that pressed down on him, making him sweat just from it.

Immediately, the pressure lifted on him as he gazed at everyone present in the room.

There was the elder at the side, all seating patiently, and Noah in the front seating with a smile on his face.

Aur immediately bowed respectfully. "Did you call for me, leader?"

"Yes, I did call for you, Aur, to reward you." Noah replied with a smile.

"I don't deserve any rewards."

Hearing this, Noah laughed with an even bigger smile on his face. "I like you. You are still humble. Still, there is breaking through your mortal limits when you are only a wizard apprentice is unheard of. There have been two people who have already praised you greatly for it."

"Thank you, Leader." Aur said with a smile.

"Good, your reward will be that your daily supply of mana crystal will be increased to ten now and hmm… the other reward shall be…" Noah thought carefully for a long time before he finally replied, "How about you choose a faction you want to join?"

"I knew it," Aur cursed internally while he had a confused expression outwardly. "Choosing a faction?"

"Right, you must have not heard about it. There are many factions in the village, and one can freely create it; however, that will only be done on an annual basis." Noah said with a smile on his face.

"Hmm?" A thoughtful expression appeared on Aur's face as he looked at everyone around the room whose expressions were indifferent and then lastly at Noah.

"I…"

Aur walked out of the room with his crimson eyes twinkling as if with innocence.

Adriana followed him with a strange expression on her face.

"Teacher, why are you following me?" Aur asked.

"Oh…" Adriana just realized as she shook her head. "Nothing."

"By the way, I have a question for you, teacher." A mysterious smile formed on Aur's face.

"What is it?" Adriana inquired with a frown on her face.

Aur paused and looked around his surroundings with a tentative expression before he finally whispered into her ears, barely audible to even her.

"Well, do you want to break through and become a tier two Wizard?"

Adriana's eyes widened as she looked at Aur with an astonished expression.

"Wha… what is it?" She asked almost instinctively.

"Well, for that, you need to wait for me for a week, and I will contact you. I am confident that once you follow me after a week, you can definitely break through to tier two wizard." Aur replied with a confident expression on his face.

"If you say so…" Adriana said.

"Now I am back to my dorm again to train myself, teacher." Aur revealed an innocent smile on his face.

Adriana looked at the dorm of Aur, and a smile appeared on her face while she closed in on him slowly, coming just an inch away from him.

"If you can help me, I can grant you some special awards." Adriana said as her cleavage touched Aur's chest while she closed in on the cheeks of Aur.

However, just then, Aur backstepped, almost making Adriana fall with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"I… I don't know." Aur ran into his dorm with his steps flustered.

Seeing this, Adriana chuckled. "How cute, but you better have a thing that could help me to break through, or else…" Her eyes glinted with malevolent eyes as she left.

Aur looked from the window at the fleeing figure of Adriana with a sneer on his face.

"I hope you can help me in the inheritance cave, Adriana, or else…" That's right, Aur wanted to take Adriana to the inheritance cave.

He wasn't really lying when he told her that she might have a chance to break through to tier two wizard if she went with him.

Aur's pupil flickered while taking out a dagger that materialized from thin air.

If you looked carefully, the dagger was still coated in blood.

"This is the dagger which poisoned William, huh…" Aur mused to himself. "I wonder how a tier one wizard apprentice will fare after I stab her with it."

When he was traveling to the carnival to buy the materials for his rock skin spell, he had found these daggers hidden in the bushes.

Although most of the poison had already seeped into the body of William, there was still some left in the dagger.

A chuckle escaped his lips as he called out to his system.

"Muscle system."

Instantly, the blue panel materialized in front of him, displaying all his stats.

"I should train my body for the whole week now." Aur stretched his body, his body trembling with excitement just at the prospect of training his own body.

…

Noah had a frown on his face as he was alone in his room, deep in contemplation as he thought about the previous thing.

"That boy is certainly interesting; however, his talent is limited. He won't go far even if he wants to…" He thought with amusement, his eyes glinting with a cruel light.

When he had offered Aur to join the fraction, he had politely refused with a smile on his face, saying that he was unworthy of it and will also choose his faction at the end of the year.

Actually, this was a logical thing to do because no matter which fraction Aur would choose, he would inevitably offend the other, especially right in the face.
