"You tell me how that's possible first," Maximus questioned.
"How would I know? Wait, did he somehow know about the number I bet?"
"No, that would not be feasible since he is just a mere wizard apprentice; it should not be possible," he shook his head.
"Then how?"
"Probably because he wanted to take his chance. However, he didn't fall for a brat's trick like the others, and bet all his fortune on it." Maximus said with a chuckle.
Amelia trembled with sheathing rage when she heard this.
"I will come back for him," she muttered, her gaze turning ruthless as she hurriedly left.
Seeing Amelia's fleeting figure, Maximus didn't utter a single word as he casually sat and started to drink the coffee he had just brewed.
...
Aur quickly returned to the academy directly without wandering around too much.
"How interesting that by just walking outside for a short time I have offended two powerful people already," Aur thought with an amused expression.
He didn't really care about a bratty girl like Amelia. However, the mysterious man who sent a tier-one wizard to him was a mysterious person for Aur.
And Aur hated unknown people.
Aur wasn't afraid of trouble, but why should he get into unnecessary trouble for no reason?
There were many options for him to avoid all these troubles.
His face gradually morphed into a smile. "I will remain in seclusion for the entire year."
Aur chose the simplest option, to avoid trouble that these children were riling up.
Unfortunately, unless he got the blueprint for the turtle's shell spell, he wouldn't be able to upgrade it at all.
All spells started at tier one. As one progressed, they would use various materials to upgrade the spell with them.
However, for one to upgrade most of the spell, there was a crucial ingredient needed: mana itself.
For example, if one wanted to upgrade a tier one spell to tier two, one of the most important ingredients was always the green-coloured mana, the symbol of the tier two mages, usually.
So it was far beyond Aur's consideration for now because he was just a wizard apprentice; currently not even a tier one wizard. Not to mention upgrading a spell, he couldn't even use the full power of the spell itself with his colourless mana.
Thinking of this, Aur decisively sat in a meditative position and started to take in the mana from the surroundings simultaneously.
Not only that, but to boost himself, he took out two middle-grade mana crystals and used them to boost his speed by several times.
Just like that, Aur spent the entire time slowly cultivating in his dorm and cooped up in his room the entire time.
...
Amelia walked back and forth with a frown on her face. She was biting her nails while simultaneously waiting for something until, finally, a knock came on her door.
She hurriedly regained her composer and said in a cold tone, "Come in."
A servant girl hurriedly walked in and immediately bowed while handing her a file.
"Madam, I have gathered all the information about Aur that I could find."
Amelia nodded her head while taking the file and looked at the servant girl.
"Yes, miss."
She hurriedly scurried out of the place, leaving the cold mistress alone.
After she exited Amelia's room, the servant girl couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, nothing happened to me. Looks like that bitch has some other problems to take care of," she cursed silently while leaving.
