Chapter 55: Daily Quest

"The daily quest has become significantly harder; however, since my strength has increased significantly, this is nothing. I can complete everything in an hour," Aur mused. The only one that was troublesome was the plank, not because it was difficult, but because it consumed too much time.

Running, although Aur's room was significantly bigger, was still not enough for him to run at his full speed, as the speed would become too fast, causing the entire room to be damaged.

So, due to the room restriction, running was a little bothersome, but other than that, nothing fazed him much.

Aur started his squats first, which he did without breaking a sweat, and then did push-ups soon after.

By the time he was done with push-ups, he started to break out in a slight sweat. However, Aur didn't stop; he ran soon after and then planked.

Aur took a deep, relaxing breath. "Should I do more?" he thought, with a strange excitement coursing through his body.

Aur took a deep relaxing breath. "Should I do more?" he thought with energy coursing through his body.

"More exercise won't hurt anybody, will it?" Aur muttered as his expression turned crazy, delving into physical training, gradually falling into a hyper-focused state.

The day turned into night as Aur fully focused on the exercise, as if he were addicted, and physical training was his solution.

His body was already soaked with cold sweat; in fact, the entire floor was wet from his sheer perspiration.

Aur finally stopped his push-ups and stood up; his body seemed to have become leaner as well.

"Maybe I trained my body a little too much today," Aur thought with a bitter smile as he looked at his sweat-filled body.

"Muscle system," he muttered.

Lucy just nodded her head meekly.

"Good." He patted her head and tenderly looked at her before leaving.

After Aur entered the room, a sneer appeared on Lucy's face. "As expected of a greenhorn, he has already fallen for me," she mused.

Lucy walked up to the utensils and started to take care of them one by one, a frown on her face.

She didn't like cleaning at all, however, for her to make Aur loyal to the village and monitor his activities, she needed to do this. That was her lifelong mission.

All the servants assigned to the middle-grade talents were assigned to serve them with the mission of making them loyal to the village. That was the sole purpose of their lifelong mission; they have been assigned to and trained since young for these.

After all, the middle-grade talents had a chance to reach the same rank as the elders, tier two wizards.

As Lucy cleaned everything, she went to her room and wrote something in a scroll, which instantly disappeared from her hand after she folded it.

"I am done with my report," Lucy thought as she stretched her body and started to do makeup.

...

"I shouldn't be suspected as the killer of Lucas for now. Seeing that old man, the eighth elder's attitude, I am sure he has already suspected Williams as the killer..." He sneered when he thought of this.

After all, if he was to be suspected, then Aur would already be dead. Although the academy has rules that prevent anyone's death, even if the village leaders command it, there were many ways to kill him without even breaking the rules. Even if the eighth elder broke the rule, so what?

Would the village really fight with the eighth elder for him, a barely middle-grade talent who has just awakened his mental space and has a thin chance of being a tier two mage, against a real tier two peak rank mage? The answer was obvious.

The rules were only binding to a certain extent. Once one has a certain amount of power, it becomes nothing more than child's play to bend it according to one's will without even breaking the rule in the first place.

It was true in his previous life, and in this world, this was even more true.

Aur thought as he sat on his bed and took out the book that the teacher gave him.

With a contemplative expression, he opened the book and started to flip the pages.

The book was mostly about the meridian points on the body and the structure of the human body's muscles.

With different descriptions and some theoretical knowledge about the five elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Air, and Spirit. These were the five elements that were all combined to form the five elemental spells. Lastly, there was a breathing format.

According to this book, the human body contains these five elements. In order for Aur to reach these parts, he needed to become one with each element individually, gradually resonating with it to truly understand the workings of these elements. Only then would he be able to imprint a five-elemental spell in his mental space.

"Let's try it," Aur's eyes glinted as he sat in a meditative state, slowly taking deep, controlled breaths.
