My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 67: Leaving

"Maybe it's because of blood and Qi?" Aur could only arrive at this conclusion. While his muscles had previously undergone rapid growth, the insufficient levels of blood and qi hindered significant improvement.

However, imprinting the five elemental spell provided him with a substantial boost in blood and Qi, leading to a massive increase in strength. This was the only plausible explanation he could come up with.

From what he knew, the five-elemental spell enhanced his body, but not to a terrifying extent. If it did, it wouldn't have been so unpopular, given its complexity and relatively low combat strength.

"Let's test it..." Aur's crimson eyes flashed with four lights as he surveyed the area. He could discern thin films of a domain extending about two metres around him.

"Is this the domain where I can control the four elements?"

Aur approached a glass containing water until it entered his domain and focused his will.

Splash!

The water promptly shattered the glass and hovered in front of Aur.

As he willed it, the water moved to the desired location wherever he wanted.

"Now, let's try the complex part…" Aur surveyed his surroundings and extended his hand forward. Although he couldn't see it, he could feel the air gathering towards his hand, albeit in very small quantities. He could feel the wind as it gathered towards his hand.

The floating ball of water also gravitated towards his hands as he willed it.

Under the amused gaze of Aur, the water and the air combined to form a ball of water and a thin rotating blade that surrounded it.

"How interesting…" he could use this for different things and he could combine elements, not only water and air but also fire and earth, which created countless possibilities in his mind that could deal a terrifying amount of damage.

However, just as Aur was contemplating these possibilities, the water ball suddenly fell to the ground, and his crimson eyes stopped glowing with four lights, causing him to frown.

"What happened?" Aur looked inside his mental space, finding a space that was completely dark, devoid of any mana; the only things that glowed were his two spells: Wizard's hand and the Elemental Mastery spell.

Wizard's Hand's spell glowed with a pure golden color, while the Elemental Mastery glowed with a blinding white light, but these two were not nearly enough to light up the entire place.

"I ran out of mana. Looks like using the Elemental Mastery consumes a lot of mana." Aur just shrugged, as it could be expected. After all, the Elemental Mastery spell bent the forces of nature with his will using mana, which naturally consumed a lot of it. In fact, it would have been impossible to do so with the amount of mana he had without his understanding of the five elements.

It was honestly similar to Wizard's Hand, but the Wizard's Hand controlled physical objects with vitality, while Elemental Mastery controlled a certain area's four elements, with Aur's soul himself being the fifth element that controlled the entire function of it.

Thinking of this, Aur nodded his head.

"Now, let's return back home…" Aur said with a warm glint in his eyes.

Still, there was a week and more left until the evaluation, so he had plenty of time to rest. At this time, he could just simply head home for the rest of his time.

"Let's go," he thought as Aur left his room.

There he saw Lucy, who was just sweeping the floor.

"Young master?" Lucy stood up with excitement.

"Yeah, what is it?" Aur asked with a frown on his face.

"I—" a small blush appeared on her face.

"Talk to me later. I am returning home for now."

"Eh." Under the stunned gaze of Lucy, Aur just left.

She hurriedly followed him. "Young master."

Lucy ran like a cheetah and slowly caught up to Aur with ragged breathing.

"What is it?" Aur asked as he turned back to the panting Lucy.

"I would like to go with you as well."

"Hmm, you can't go," he said with a simple tone.

"Eh, why n-" suddenly she paused and bowed her head. "I am sorry for stepping over my boundaries as a servant, young master," Lucy said in a serious tone.

Aur suddenly paused in his footsteps and patted her.

"You don't have to feel sorry; you are more than just a servant to me…. However, you will probably not be allowed to exit the academy."

"But young master, what about you?" Lucy raised her head with a tearful expression on her face.

"Me?" Aur smiled as he pointed at himself.

"Yes." Lucy nodded her head with a strange expression on her face.

"I have a plan so that you don't have to worry." Aur casually shrugged and headed back; however, his gaze was tender and loving as he looked at Lucy one last time before leaving.

Seeing this, Lucy gritted her teeth at the broad back of Aur, disappearing in the distance. "Although he loves me right now, however, if he goes far away, I don't know what will happen. If I try to follow him again, I will be more bothersome to him…" Lucy was confused about what to choose, however, she eventually returned back to the dorm.

"From the training I have, if I want to impress him instead of annoying him, then I will have to maintain everything here in tip-top shape…" Lucy said with a sigh.

She had been trained on what to do even in this scenario, and this was the best option for her, considering Aur's personality, at least from her keen observation.

However, she was rather flustered, which slightly diminished her rational thinking, but now that she had gathered her thoughts, Lucy could finally choose the best option.

"Sigh, life is quite unfair. If I had gotten any talent for becoming a wizard, I would have been at least taken as a guard to have a chance at free will. But now, I have to serve a green-haired brat in the hope of him becoming an elder and taking me as a concubine.

Even then, I will have to serve him for my life while becoming a spy for the village, all because I am a normal mortal who couldn't awaken," Lucy thought with a bitter expression.

She started to clean the place where she left off previously with unwillingness, but these were her only options to survive currently.

…

Aur didn't directly leave the place; instead, he went in a certain direction directly to the workout place. A large one floor building with wall as glass.

"I will probably find him there…." he thought.

Seeing the workout place, he couldn't help but feel excited as the blood rushed to his brain and his heartbeat quickened.

"Control yourself, Aur. I can go workout some other time. I want to meet my family first," Aur consoled himself.

As he entered the place, seeing hundreds of familiar equipment, however, he turned his gaze to the man who was at the centre working out.

"Weren't wizards usually not caring about their body much, what a peculiar man…" Aur mused to himself, however, since Jonathan was a teacher in the academy, his strength was undeniable.
