My Muscle System in the Mage World

The blood and Qi could be increased by increasing the circulation of blood. There were numerous things to do, such as taking medicines like ginseng or taking hot medicinal baths.

These could increase his blood and Qi as well. Even eating beast meat can increase his blood and Qi.

While training could also increase the blood and Qi, however, it was very slow—in fact, it could be said to be the slowest method to use training to increase his blood and Qi. That might be also the reason why Aur's training wasn't getting much results as in the past.

Thinking of this, Aur frowned. "I should visit the market again and not let my impulse control me."

Aur could have avoided the trouble by simply ignoring it, like his past self when he used the future seer: minor to see a possible variation of what would have happened if Aur hadn't gone to save the girl as well.

However, that path would have directly contradicted his choice to live as he wanted.

Aur stood up and looked at the time. "There is still half an hour left, plenty of time." He left his room again.

...

Aur looked at the decorations that surrounded the road curiously. He was dressed in his classical black robe, but his white hair was styled in a neat and tidy manner like a gentleman, with clean, ordinary black shoes.

Although his face looked average, his bulky muscular body made up for it, with his tall stature that complemented his body.

"Young master, today is a celebration of Eden," Lucy said in a whisper to him.

The celebration of the Eden or also known as the harvest was like a prelude to an even bigger festival where the people celebrate and drink together for a "big harvest" by the farmers. Everyone was given a holiday today for it.

The bigger festival was when the merchants came to the village to do trades which usually lasted seven days.

Aur just nodded his head as he finally saw a pagoda-style building in the distance with a signboard on top of it inscribed with the words "THE GOLDEN HOUSE."

The building's blinding light made him narrow his eyes.

"Is this the place Leo invited me?" He asked Lucy.

"Yes, young master." She nodded her head with an excited expression.

"Why is this girl excited for..." Aur muttered with speechlessness.

As Aur went nearer, the place was bustling with people surrounding the entire place.

Every once in a while, Aur could see people going in and out of the place, some drunk and some sober, however, they all giggled and laughed with happiness.

Aur slowly walked up to the large door and was immediately stopped by two guards.

"I am sorry Young man, could you show us your card?"

"Yes." Aur just nodded his head as he took out his card which glinted with a bronze colour and had "1-A" written on it.

Seeing the card, the guard suddenly started to warmly smile.

"Please wait a moment, young hero." the guard said as he took out a device and beckoned Aur "please swipe her."

"Okay." Aur nodded his head as he casually swiped the card.

The device shone with a bright colour which made the guards smile even warmer.

"Please go in, young hero. I can guide you there," the guard said with a smile on his face.

"Sure." Aur nodded his head with an uncaring expression.

The door opened instantly, and the people who were dining themselves while wild laughter resounded in the place filled to the brim with people. The atmosphere was harmonious and celebratory with people smiling in the entire event.

Aur was led by the guard while Lucy followed behind him with an excited expression on her face.

As Aur and the other left in the distance, the other guard gritted his teeth in anger.

"Tsk this guy works like a leech always showing the high-ranking people at this rate I might never get a promotion while this guy could get a promotion…" The guard said while spitting "I need to do something about these guys."

…

Aur was led to a servant of the hotel, and the guard had an apologetic expression on his face.

"I am sorry young master, I can only show you till here, the servant will fulfil all your requirements as i have the guard duty as well." the guard said with a bitter smile.

"Go on then." Aur waved his hand, and the man immediately left the place.

"What was that room again?" He turned back to ask Lucy.

"It should be room 104, young master."

Aur nodded his head as he instructed the servant, "Bring us to room 104."

"Yes, yes, young hero." The woman had a fawning smile on her face; she was around thirty.

"But that will be on the second floor, and you need to verify your identity again, young hero." the woman asked tentatively.

"Alright." Aur swiped his card again, and the device glowed, which made her smile even warmer as she led him to the upper floor.

As they were walking, Aur curiously asked, "Why are there such security checks?"

"You see, each floor denotes one's status while the ground floor is for people living in the academy. The second floor is for the students, while the third floor is for the people with status like a son or daughter of an elder, but the last and fourth floor is for the leader and the elders only or an honoured guest.

This hierarchy is strictly maintained, and the village takes this very seriously." the woman said with a serious expression on her face.

Aur nodded with an expressionless face.

This was the only restaurant in the academy, so Aur knew why this place was bustling, and for a system to exist, there needed to be a hierarchy where a certain individual or group could control the entire thing.

It was very similar to his previous world. Hierarchy is a very crucial part of structuring a society. So being strict with these things was also natural, and Aur could agree on.

As the woman led Aur upstairs, unlike the open-air arrangement, there were different rooms.

She quickly led Aur to the assigned room.

"Here, young master." the woman said with a smile.

"Okay." Aur nodded his head and went into the room while Lucy also followed him.

…

"Brother Aur, you are finally here?" the brown-haired girl said excitedly as she looked at Aur with sparkling eyes.

Aur looked around the place. There were around twenty or so people in the room, not including him, with luxurious tables for each individual while there were extra beautiful servants, both male and female, aside from the servant assigned from the academy.

Their faces were already red as the smell of alcohol wafted in his nose, which caused Aur to frown.

"I am alright," Aur just nodded with a smile as he looked at Leo, who was similarly drunk as well.

Soon, two beautiful women wearing blue kimonos entered the door, guided Aur towards his seat, and started to serve him wine.

"I don't drink." Aur casually said with a smile on his face.
