My Muscle System in the Mage World

"Because he is William," Noah replied in a cold tone, which made her instantly shut up.

"You mean to say that William killed Lucas?" Actually, Amelia already knew about Lucas, although their interactions were very minimal, but still, she was able to know a little about him because of his status just a step below her.

"Yes, he was most likely the one who killed Lucas," Noah said with narrowed eyes as if he was in deep thought. "I also doubted the authenticity of it first, but after a short investigation and seeing that woman so close to him. It is likely that he is the murderer."

"Then what should we do if the Eighth Elder finds out? He will be dead-"

"That old fox has already found out about it already," Noah replied.

"This… this…"

"That old man hasn't gone senile to attack William in front of my very eyes even if he attacked it will be pointless. But that doesn't mean I can protect him forever." Noah's eyes narrowed.

"What should we do now, father? That bastard already has enemies from the clan, and now he has enemies inside the academy as well," Amelia said with a frown on her face as she panicked.

"Don't worry, as long as he is inside the academy, the Eighth Elder can't do anything. But if he walks out-"

"Father, how about we kill Williams?" Amelia asked with an uncertain expression.

"No, Williams cannot die. If they dared to kill Williams, I will personally kill them all, whether it is the Eighth Elder or steele clan itself," he said as veins popped in his head, the desk caved in with the sheer strength from his pressure.

"What should we do then?"

"We wait," Noah said as he nonchalantly settled back in his seat.

Amelia frowned as her eyes scanned the entire place and just casually shrugged. "Do you have any instructions for me, father?"

"Yes, I do have one," Noah smirked evilly.

Hearing this, Amelia suddenly felt an ominous feeling.

…

Aur casually walked through the passageway with relaxed footsteps.

As he returned to his dorm room, he saw his Latina servant patiently waiting for him.

He sneered internally at this.

"Young master." The moment she saw him, her eyes brightened, and she bowed to him while Aur just nodded his head.

"Let's go to the five-element magic department and find a suitable teacher…" Aur said as he walked forward without looking back.

Lucy hurriedly followed him with a nervous expression on her face. "Wait for me, young master."

However, Aur's footsteps didn't change as he continued to move forward at his own pace.

"Is this the spell teaching department?" Aur thought as he looked at the tall building with almost three floors.

He entered the place casually, looking around.

The place was bustling, to say the least, with people coming and going every second.

Once he entered the place, Aur saw a board with countless names plated in gold on the side. There were names of countless people with the subjects they were teaching written beside them.

"Hmm…" Aur narrowed his eyes as he surveyed the entire board and finally found five people who were teaching the five-elemental magic course.

Unlike the vitality magic, which didn't need Aur's understanding to master, the five-elemental magic required insights, making it a troublesome procedure. However, for Aur to master these techniques, he needed insights into them.

Although it was a troublesome process, he needed to go through it, as it was the most complementary magic he could find that didn't interfere with his vitality magic.

The mentors cost around five or six low-grade mana crystals for one hour, which was quite cheap, to be honest, or could be said to be nothing at all.

The reason this was so cheap was because of the poor students in the academy. After all, every kid had the chance to become a mage, and the amount of money they got was not enough for them to start imprinting these first spells and become a true mage apprentice.

So it was like a relief program from the academy itself.

Aur randomly chose the cheapest one and pressed on it, and a beeping sound rang as a servant hurriedly came.

"Honourable Wizard, please come this way," the servant quickly showed the way for Aur, and he went with the servant, under the curious gaze of onlookers.

After Aur left, chaos broke out.

"Quick, quick, see which spell he chose," everyone said as they rushed to the board.

"From the angle I was looking at, it should be the five-elemental magic."

"What's that magic?"

"It's infamous for being hard, however, it does not have much combat power in itself."

"Hahahaha, this guy is so stupid," they laughed as they went to do their own thing with a smug smile on their faces. After all, now they had a guarantee that they would overtake Aur in the future. It was decided the moment he took the spell and with his mediocre talent among the middle-grade talents.

…

Aur looked at the metal passageway with an expressionless face.

The passageway was eerily silent; even Aur's and the servant's footsteps didn't make a sound on the floor, as if the sound was being absorbed by it.

There were many doors with golden plaques inscribed on them.

"Young master, please follow me."

Aur nodded his head as he followed the servant. They walked for a long time before the servant finally stopped. "It's here, young master," he said with a sigh of relief.

"Can I leave now, young master?"

"Wait, before you go, are there mentors in every single room surrounding here?"

"No, young master, that is not the case."

"Then what is it?"

"They are mostly empty rooms, unoccupied by anyone. There are only a handful of newbie mentors here, and you are in luck because the elemental spell has four teachers."

"Hmm," Aur nodded his head.

The servant went close to Aur and said in a whisper, "Actually, there are only ten people who have actually chosen the five-elemental spell as their vital spell in the entire village. Most of them choose it as a secondary attribute since it doesn't disrupt many other attributed spells."

"Young master, from what I have heard, the difficulty to learn this spell is too high. You should learn another spell instead-"

"You don't have to worry; you can go away now," Aur casually shrugged as he sent the man away.

He had already chosen his spell as the Wizard's Hand from vitality magic, so he didn't need to learn another spell at all. However, to maintain his disguise as an ordinary mage, he needed to learn it.

And since he would focus more on vitality magic, it was inevitable for his progress to be very slow. So, these five-elemental magic spells were the perfect disguise for him currently.

Aur touched the metallic door, and it instantly opened with a swish, revealing an empty room with a pink-haired girl sitting on a futon.

Aur's eyes narrowed as he looked at the woman. However, that was only a momentary reaction, and he quickly returned to his usual stoic expression as he sat on a futon far away from her.
