My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 99: Sebastian's Diary and The Limit of the Body

An old man with a sagely appearance slowly floated in the air, a smile adorning his face. He suddenly paused, observing a small village in the distance.

"Is this the place?" he muttered with a smile lingering on his face.

He proceeded to float towards the village, crossing through the academy walls and arriving at the towering building that overlooked the countless people below. A smile remained on his face as he gazed upon the scene.

Suddenly, just as he was about to descend, a roar echoed through the air, causing the old man to pause in mid-air.

"Intruder! Who are you?" a thunderous voice emanated from inside the academy as a man elegantly floated up in the air.

"Your village seems to have committed a lot of sins, so I have come to purify you," the old man's smile widened even more.

"Hmm," the man from the academy was stunned when he heard this. "And how do you intend to purify our small village?"

"Well, I would need to take control of the entire village and purify them according to my commands individually," the old man said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, the man from the academy's gaze turned cold.

"Why not say that you want to rule the entire village entirely, Hanma?" The man said with his expression turning fierce.

"You know my name." Hanma chuckled with a smile on his face "so you must know the consequences of defying me. Give me that person who has a supreme-grade mental space."

He snickered.

Hearing this, the man from the academy's face turned expressionless.

"Don't push us too far, Hanma."

"I will." Hanma said with a mocking tone "what are you going to do about it?"

"Then we have no choice." The man shook his head with pity.

Suddenly countless people appeared, surrounding Hanma.

However, Hanma was unmoved, his expression morphing into a sneer.

"A group of headless chickens."

A terrifying pressure emanated from Hanma, making the people around him falter as they instinctively backed away, their eyes widened in terror.

Seeing this, the man who previously came out panicked and looked around him.

"Let's charge together, brothers and sisters." He suddenly roared in a loud voice, his voice echoing throughout the place.

His words seemed to have caused an instinctive effect as everyone charged at Hanma in the heat of the moment.

However, Hanma was unmoved as he swiped his hand.

Boom!

The screen went blank.

A still silence enveloped the entire classroom.

"Unfortunately, there is no video recording after this," Adriana said in a sorrow-filled voice.

The silence deepened even more.

"That demon named Hanma not only tried to destroy our entire village, but he also attempted to sacrifice all of us for his evil goals. However, due to the heroic sacrifice of the previous patriarch," Adriana continued, letting her words sink into everyone.

"However, that demon Hanma didn't even die from the barrage of attacks and killed everyone to escape injury. But his strength had weakened to a large extent, making it easy for the greatest talent of our village—a supreme-grade mental space—to kill him easily."

One of the students raised her hand and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Was a person with a supreme-grade mental space never born in the village? Isn't that a myth?" She asked with confusion.

"There was one, actually, but he was killed by that demon cruelly. Our supreme-grade talent was a kind-hearted man who defeated that demon quite easily. However, just as the demon was about to be defeated, the demon started to beg and grovel to our talent, which caused him to falter," Adriana revealed, a fierce expression on her face.

"As he was faltering, that demon took his chance and killed the man. However, just as the demon was about to be reeled in, killing him, the heroic supreme-grade talent sacrificed himself, taking Hanma down with him."

Adriana remained silent as she let the students come to their own conclusions.

Soon, whispers spread among the students as they spoke in a tone of injustice.

"That bastard is a demon."

"How could there be such a treacherous person who dared to sneak attack during the magnanimous grace of such a person and beg for forgiveness, only to sneak attack."

"Despicable! Bastard! His mother should have killed that demon before he was even born. Or she should have hanged herself instead of giving birth to such a person."

The students' eyes were filled with injustice as they cursed Hanma to their heart's extent, expressing as much resentment as they could.

William gripped his fingers into a fist as he released his pressure. "If that demon were alive right now, I would kill him myself."

Everyone's gaze was suddenly drawn to William as the terrifying pressure caused the people around him to tremble.

"I know, William, that you are riled up; however, that doesn't mean you can intimidate your peers like that," Adriana said nonchalantly, with a glint in her eyes.

William scratched his head as he hurriedly withdrew his pressure, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Sorry, sorry," he apologised half-heartedly and sat back again in silence.

"Teacher, but he isn't wrong about that. How could someone be such a bastard?"

"True."

The other students supported William as the entire class erupted in chaos.

"Silence," she uttered with a frown on her face.

Instantly, everyone shut up.

"Good. We don't know whether Hanma is actually dead or not, as we haven't gotten his corpse even till now. Although with the explosion, he should have died, there is no guarantee of it. So, you must all strive to be stronger and stronger while being loyal to the village if you want to take revenge for all the humiliation that Hanma has done to the village," Adriana spoke.

"You are right, teacher; that is correct. We must take revenge on that bastard." Although they spoke in the heat of the moment, everyone knew that Hanma had likely died from the explosion. However, still, as youths, their boiling blood could be awakened quite easily.

But there was one guy among the students who had a calm expression on his face. However, since he blended in with the others, his calm expression was difficult to spot.

"How interesting," Aur's eyes glinted with amusement the more he thought about the entire case.

"So, the Hanma that I saw in my own vision is from here, huh?" His expression turned contemplative.

Since, as per Aur's understanding, the minor point of his future seer talent showed a shorter span of the future than the major point that showed his future.

"So, will this also happen in the span of five years? I need more information about it."

Aur had very little information about his own system even until now, especially his talent Future Seer; he didn't even know whether it was hereditary, which is unlikely, or just came from the system itself.

However, it didn't matter to him either way; he would exploit it to his benefits.

Aur narrowed his eyes, "harvest festival, huh."

From the diary of Sebastian, he read that the harvest festival was the place where it all began, making Aur even more anticipative of the upcoming harvest festivals.

Adriana's voice was suddenly heard from the front, which caused Aur's gaze to be attracted to her again.

"Since you brats are all finally in class, then I will finish an important chapter of it for now, which is very important."

Everyone's faces cramped when they heard this; however, since they were already in class, they could only helplessly nod their heads with reluctance.

They would have to listen to it anyway because they couldn't simply walk out of the classroom, as Adriana wouldn't let them.

"Good." Adriana nodded her head with a satisfied expression. "After I teach these brats, I won't have to teach them anything for a long time," she thought with excitement.

"You know that a normal human body has limits, right?" Adriana looked at everyone with a questioning tone.

William raised his hand with a smile on his face.

"I know."

"Good, explain it then."

"Okay," William shrugged and started to explain, "the human body has a limit that is set for everyone. After reaching that amount of strength, one finds it very hard to increase their strength. Although the limits of one's body may vary, normally it doesn't make much of a difference."

Suddenly, William paused with a thoughtful expression. "From what has been known from the conventional method, the only way to break from the limits of this body is through strength itself. Normal training or anything related to it can never provide enough stimulus and power."

"Good, you can sit down now," Adriana said with a smile on her face.

"However, you still don't know one thing about the body itself: it is used as a medium while casting a spell. When you cast a higher-level spell, your body might become numb, or the power of the spell might even be decreased if the body can't withstand it. That is also why the academy gave you enough time to train your physique so much."
