Chapter 83: Breaking a Hand

"Brother Aur."

Aur's ear twitched as he turned around, seeing Anne behind him.

"Eh, have you become taller?" Anne asked with stunned eyes as she looked up at Aur.

"Yes, I have become taller. It must be my growth spurt," Aur casually spoke in a deep male voice.

"It must be so," Anne blushed as she nodded her head.

At their age, they were just becoming adults, so it was usual for their bodies to grow larger in just a day.

Especially with the increase in strength because of the spells they imprinted.

Although she didn't know which spell Aur imprinted, as it was their secret, it wasn't a secret that Aur chose from the five elemental magics as his vital spell.

And these spells were famous for increasing the strength of the physique in the most natural way. It wasn't the most powerful, but it gradually increased the strength of the physique naturally, which was very rare.

"Then you must have strong genes as well, Brother Aur," Anne replied with a smile on her face.

"Hmm, it must be," Aur just nodded as he went with the flow. Sometimes letting people come up with their conclusions was better.

"Come," she beckoned Aur, and he walked towards her with a smile on his face, following her.

As Aur and Anne left, the countless scrutinising gazes withdrew.

There were two men sitting at a table while drinking their booze, and they were also among the people who withdrew their gaze.

One of the men wore royal clothing, and the other wore silver light knight armour.

"Is that Aur? The new student?" the man in royal clothing asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yeah, it is," the man in silver armour responded with a nod of his head.

"Tsk tsk, why am I being sent to recruit such a peasant? Although his physique might be strong, he will die if he really fought a real wizard," the man in royal clothing spoke with a tinge of disgust.

"That is true, young master; however, this is the order of the patriarch," the silver-armoured man said nonchalantly.

"So should we recruit him now?"

"No, let him go. I will tell my father that the man rejected the offer," the man in royal clothing snickered as he turned around to leave.

"But... but..." the armoured man gritted his teeth, seeing that his young master was already going far from him without speaking a word.

"If this gets to the patriarch, I will be the one to get in trouble because of this brat," the silver-armoured man shook his head as he helplessly followed.

...

Alfred immediately fell to the floor with widened eyes, his gaze reflecting deep horror.

"I am sorry if I hurt you; I don't have much control over my strength sometimes," Aur said with a concerned gaze.

"It's alright, Brother Aur; I can understand," Alfred said with a forced smile.

However, the smile seemed strained, with his face appearing uneven, making him look extremely ugly rather than beautiful.

"Hahaha, that was a small scuffle. We should continue the introduction," Leo said, ignoring Alfred.

"True, Brother Leo," Aur smiled gleefully.

"I am Oliver."

Soon, the others started to introduce themselves one by one; however, nobody shook hands with Aur, as their eyes reflected deep horror.

After everyone introduced themselves, Leo nodded his head with a smile on his face.

Leo guided Aur to the best seat and patted it.

"Come, sit here, Aur. You would get the best view of the dance," Leo said with a mischievous smile.

"Okay, Brother Leo," Aur shook his head helplessly as he sat down on the seat with a smile.

The room had a balcony that directly led to the view of the pole-dancing woman. Being in the upper section, they could see a lot more than the people on the ground level.

Aur just shook his head helplessly.

Soon, the atmosphere became eerie again as Alfred went back to his own seat without speaking a single word to anyone. With his forced ugly smile, he didn't speak even after returning to his seat while tightly gripping his hand.

Leo started to converse with everyone, lightening the mood eventually for everyone. However, Alfred didn't talk to anyone as he silently stared at Aur with an expressionless face the entire time.

But Aur didn't notice him or acted like he didn't notice him, as he looked at the pole-dancing woman instead with a glint of interest in his eyes.

"Hehehe, after all, he is just a brat..." Leo thought while glancing at him.

Alfred remained expressionless even when ignored by Aur.

Leo noticed this silently as he conversed with others. With a subtle gesture, he signalled to Anne.

Anne came to Aur with a smile as she handed him a large cup filled with wine.

"Brother Aur, you should also drink some booze too. Aren't you feeling left out?" Anne said with a seductive smile.

"No, I am good," Aur politely refused the offer with a sigh. "I don't like the taste of it. I have already tasted it, but I simply don't like it."

"Hahaha, Anne, my dear, why are you forcing Aur to drink? He doesn't like to drink; I already tried." Leo sighed; however, internally, he cursed.
