Chapter 50: Suspect

"Now I need to learn the five-elemental spell." He frowned.

The reason why he chose the five-elemental spell was that it didn't conflict with the vitality magic, which made it a perfect disguise for his spell.

Although vitality magic might not be a forbidden magic, if the village finds out, they will undoubtedly investigate all things related to it.

Aur wouldn't doubt the plot armour of Williams; however, it was unlikely he would be on the safe side.

Even if he was, Aur liked to control things all by himself and never let variables occur. One thing he had learned from his previous life was that variables were very troublesome things that would come back to bite you when you least expect it.

Thinking of this, Aur sighed as he stood up and walked outside.

"Lucy," Aur called his little Latina maid, and she instantly arrived in a few moments.

"Yes, young master," Lucy asked with a curious expression.

"I..."

"Oh, you are that white-haired kid who beat Williams previously, right?" Aur was suddenly interrupted by a man.

Aur frowned as he turned back to see a stern man wearing silver armour with a scar over his left eye, giving him a fierce aura.

The moment Aur saw the man, his eyes widened, not because of his fierce appearance, but because of the terrifying pressure that descended on him.

"His presence is as strong as the teachers in the academy."

"Are you Aur or not? Answer me, kid," the man said with a stern gaze.

"Yes, I am," Aur nodded his head.

"Good, then come with me."

"Huh?" Aur was stunned when he heard this. "I wonder what the teachers want from me to come with you."

"Just come with me, kid, or you will face the consequences," the man looked at Aur with a cold expression and a threatening glint in his eyes.

That's why the elder appeared so old already. At least, that's what the village had told everyone.

Soon, the other teachers began to bring in confused students one by one, including Aur himself.

Aur's eyes sparkled with a strange light as he observed everyone present, understanding the purpose of this gathering. However, he noticed that William was missing.

"Is he not coming?" Aur wondered with a furrowed brow.

But just as Aur began to feel disappointed, William arrived, welcomed by the instructor with a smile on his face. Behind him, the girl who had been with him earlier stayed close, hiding behind his figure.

Aur couldn't help but be amused. He had seen in the future that if Aur hadn't intervened, she would have been brutally treated by Williams. But now, she acted as though she were already William's lover.

Noah frowned upon seeing William's arrival. "My disciple, no one else is allowed to enter except for the ones we invited," he said, his tone cold but with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Master," William nodded, glancing at the girl. The girl reluctantly moved away from William's side and remained outside the room.

Once everything was settled, William silently took his place to the side.

"I apologize, Elder Eight, for the delay," Noah said, looking at the old man, who remained expressionless.

"It's nothing, Leader," the old man replied neutrally, forcing a smile onto his face.

"Alright, let's begin the investigation," Noah nodded, his gaze turning to the nervous students who were waiting with anticipation.

"Don't worry, just relax," he assured them in a simple tone, a tone that somehow calmed their nerves, washing away their anxiety.

Aur narrowed his eyes, adopting the composed demeanor of those around him.

"Good," Noah nodded with satisfaction on his face.

"I have called all of you here because the eighth elder's grandson has been brutally murdered, and the killer may be among you," he said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, all the students were stunned, breaking out in cold sweat.

"Don't worry; we won't subject you to inhumane torture. You just need to provide detailed accounts of what you did when you last visited the academy market," Noah reassured them, pointing to a young man and instructing, "You, start describing your activities of what you did in the market that day."
