Chapter 62: Assassination Attempt
"Brother Aur, I will see you in three weeks in class. I hope you can progress in the mage realm…"
"Don't worry, brother, I can progress a little, but due to my talent-" Aur shook his head with a bitter smile.
"At least you can imprint your first spell by that time, right?"
"Yeah, I can barely make it at that time; the spell I chose is quite complex," Aur said with a bitter smile.
"Don't worry, brother, you can make it," Leo gave a thumbs up to Aur.
"Thank you, Brother Leo."
With that said, they parted ways, with Aur returning to his own dorm.
"Young master, I will take my leave."
"Hmm," Aur nodded his head with a mischievous smile on his face.
Lucy looked at him with a stunned expression.
He suddenly shot up and instantly took a kiss on her cheek before he entered his own room with an embarrassed expression.
Lucy looked at the broad back of Aur and couldn't help but snicker "he has already fallen in love with me this is better…"
"Now I will have to tie him down to me." she touched her stomach as if she was already imagining the scenario.
…
Aur just casually returned back to his room as he recollected all the things he had done today although he could have been better and smoother in the things but still all his goals were achieved.
He had managed to convince everyone that he loves Lucy which was an important part of his plan.
Soon Aur sat down on the bed and closed his eyes, sleeping for a long while.
"Tomorrow I will go to the five-elemental class to learn again…" he muttered to himself. Although he was sleeping in actuality he was still on guard with any sound or any feeling he felt Aur would instantly be alert of the danger immediately.
It was a special technique he had learned in his previous world.
In the dim light of the moon revealing the huge academy a shadow silently made its way around the place and slowly went to the dorms of the students.
"Here should be the blond boy, isn't it?" the shadow seemed to snicker as he made it's way to one of the larger and more luxurious dorm.
…
Aur opened his eyes with the sound of the noises that rang in the hallway. Even with the sound-cancellation of the room it was eerily noisy making him frown.
"What happened?" He quickly stood up and freshened himself.
And went outside seeing a crowd of people who were lining up in the hallway all going towards the right.
Aur casually looked at Lucy and asked "what happened?"
"Young master, it looks like there was an assassination attempt in the academy." Lucy replied with an uncertain expression with disbelief written on her eyes.
"Huh," Aur frowned when he heard this as he also joined the line with curiosity.
Killing in the academy was strictly prohibited and even an attempt at this was taken very seriously and was investigated by the power of the entire village no matter if it is the leaders or the leaders.
The guts to try an assassination attempt inside the academy could be said to be counted in one hand.
After all, the full power of an entire village was terrifying enough to kill even a tier three mage.
Since the academy was considered as the future of the village of course assassination was taken very seriously and hadn't happened in centuries.
"Who could invite such trouble?" As Aur made his way through the crowd of people he couldn't help but think he had already had a guess on who it was.
Soon as he pushed everyone aside there was a golden haired boy with tattered clothes and in his laps was a woman with blue hair, angel, with a knife on her chest.
"Hmm knew it of course that a bastard won't die he could be defeated but never killed there will always be a variable which stops him from dying it is the universal truth i learned from my previous world. But what happened?" Aur thought with a frown on his face.
He casually asked a person to his side.
"Brother, what happened to him?"
"Who the f-," The man's eyes met Aur, a bulky and strong man and he involuntarily paused seeing an almost six feet man.
"Hmm," A frown appeared in Aur's face which made the man even more flustered as he gulped his saliva.
"This.. I have also just come, brother. I don't know much." The man rubbed his nose with a smile.
Hearing this Aur was disappointed and asked around however no one knew what had happened.
Soon a group of teachers came who guided Williams while healing angels.
"No, I won't go anywhere without the angel being fully healed yet," Williams yelled out loud as he threw a fit like a child.
"This…"
Jonathan and his colleague were speechless when they heard this.
"You really are not coming with us, kid, you are also hurt right?"
"But, but she is injured."
"So…" Adiana suddenly spoke with a cold tone.
"I… I need to be with her."
"And what will that do, kid?" Adriana replied in a cold tone as she stared at him in a deadpan expression with a flinch as she stared at him as if seeing the inside of his soul.
"Huh," Williams was stunned as he looked at the injured angel and the teachers.
Although he initially ignored her, however, since then she had grown on his life for a long time and had become a crucial thing in William's life without even knowing it.
Now she was injured and going to die after taking the dagger for him which filled him with a terrifying dread, however, the most important thing was that Williams felt helpless and powerless to do anything or gain anything.
He wasn't able to protect her and instead, she used herself as a shield for him just because he was powerless.
"I must gain strength." Williams' eyes gleamed with a terrifying determination as a strange reaction seemed to have happened with his presence changing entirely as if he was entirely a different person from before.
He tenderly glanced at the angel who was slowly recovering from the healing and his blue eyes turned resolute, as Williams followed Adiana.
Seeing this Adriana nodded her head however she internally frowned "These guys seemed to have changed or is it my imagination?" She outwardly remained calm as she with her colleagues guided Williams to the village leader's office.
Aur looked at the scene with an amused gaze "Is this the famous change I have heard about it?" He looked at the angel with narrowed eyes.
However, Aur casually lifted his shoulders, a nonchalant expression on his face.
"It's not my business what happens to him. I've already made the decision not to rely on him to shield myself from that upcoming beast wave. I should focus on improving my strength as swiftly as possible. Whatever happens to Williams is none of my concern.
Nevertheless, I will ensure to collect my due interest for discreetly eliminating the evidence previously when you got the golden text," Aur sneered as he contemplated his next moves.
