Chapter 141: William recovers and Noah's suspicions
"Ouch," Lucy rubbed her head in pain, with tears threatening to come out of her eyes.
"Young master…"
She turned to Aur to see a worried expression on his face.
"Are you alright, Lucy?" Aur asked, his tone filled with concern.
"Ye… yes, I am fine," Lucy said while rubbing her face to wipe away the tears.
"I am sorry; you just suddenly came up to me," Aur replied while gently touching her face.
"Thank you, young master." A blush appeared on her face while she shyly spoke.
However, since her face was dirty, the blush looked rather unattractive.
Aur just silently stared at her with his crimson eyes.
"Lucy, tell me what are you doing here?" he asked in a simple tone.
"Young master, I wanted to give myself to you," Lucy said, blushing even more.
Aur looked at her body up and down, with a moment of silence, as he shook his head with a sigh.
"Lucy, you are beautiful as you are; you don't have to give yourself to me," Aur spoke in a firm tone.
"But-" Lucy had a hesitating expression on her face. Just then, Aur hugged her with a smile on his face.
"You are beautiful the way you are; I will always be with you," Aur softly whispered in her ear.
"Young master…" Lucy looked at Aur with a smile on her face.
"Now go and clean your face and change into your normal clothing," he patted her.
Lucy nodded her head and left the room with a reluctant expression.
Aur smiled until he saw Lucy entirely leaving the room. The moment she left, a sneer morphed onto his face.
"What a method to seduce someone; if I were completely clueless, I might even fall for it, who knows…" Aur's crimson eyes reflected coldness, eyes that seemed to not have a shiver of emotion, like a devil.
"Forget it; better start training now."
Aur looked at the roses on the bed and casually swiped his hand, generating a gust of wind that swept the flowers away.
"First tier: Elemental Mastery."
His crimson eyes reflected the spell as well.
"Hmm, my spell has gotten much stronger than before." Aur nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
Since he has broken through and become a high wizard apprentice, naturally, his spells have become stronger with it.
"Not only has it become stronger, but I can also use it more efficiently as well. Unfortunately," a bitter expression morphed onto his face. "However, I still can't use the full power of the spell yet…"
All of Aur's spells were tier one spells, and for him to use them, he needed to have blue mana to utilise their full strength.
No matter how much mana fills up in his mental space, unless it becomes a blue mana pool, he couldn't use the full strength of his tier.
"Muscle system." Aur called out with a thoughtful expression.

"Not bad." Aur muttered with a thoughtful expression. "Should I use the minor point already?"
However, Aur soon shook his head.
"I have no danger, and I couldn't care less about the outside world for now. I need to train myself first." Aur started to meditate by sitting cross-legged on his king-sized bed.
Taking out two middle-grade mana crystals, Aur began to cultivate.
"I will reach at least peak wizard apprentice by the end of the year and will make another breakthrough with my muscles." Aur's eyes glinted with determination as he set his goals straight.
…
"Young Master Williams!?" A shout came from inside the room as a middle-aged man ran out of the room with a shocked expression on his face.
His steps were hurried as he rushed outside, his eyes wide open as if the man couldn't believe what had happened, running faster than he had ever run in his life.
With hurried steps, he directly entered the centre of the academy where Noah's office was.
"Halt!" the guards said with a cold tone.
However, the man didn't seem to listen, or he couldn't listen, as he ran with a face of disbelief.
The guards frowned, seeing this, they gave one last warning, "If you come within half a metre without stating your purpose, you will be dealt with."
They released their presence as tier-one wizards, making the man finally pause.
"I am a person who is healing William, the disciple of the leader. I have come bearing valuable and important news," the middle-aged man announced.
Hearing this, the guards finally took back their presence and sheathed their killing intent.
"Wait here."
The guards looked at each other, and one of them immediately ran inside.
Before long, the middle-aged man was allowed entry, causing him to heave a sigh of relief.
"What happened?" Noah asked with a frown on his face.
"Leader… William is healed," the middle-aged man said in a trembling tone.
"What?" Noah stood up from his seat with an astonished look. "William is completely healed from the poison." He asked as if seeking another confirmation.
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded his head, causing a strange glint to flash through Noah's eyes.
"Lead me to him." Noah spoke as he left the office, and the middle-aged man followed suit.
"That kid, how did he cure the poison so quickly? That poison was…" a thoughtful expression marked Noah's face as he thought about it.
"The only way he could survive is if he has an untold secret that no one knows about."
Greed flashed past Noah's eyes as he considered this. There was no way William cured himself without any external help!
"Leader," the middle-aged man called out.
Noah looked up, and they had already arrived at the infirmary.
"Let's go," he said, entering the place.
Everybody bowed with reverence once they caught sight of Noah.
Noah casually nodded before finally reaching the room of William.
