Aur slowly cultivated in his room with closed eyes, holding two crystals with large patches of purple in his hands.
As time passed, the original colour of the mana crystal gradually started to turn dull before finally disappearing altogether.
However, just then, Aur's crimson eyes snapped open, and he had a satisfied expression on his face.
"I have broken through, High wizard apprentice," his voice was filled with excitement as Aur looked at his mental space.
Half of his mental space was filled with mana, and the shine on his five spells seemed to have become brighter with it.
However, he wasn't excited because of this; instead...
"Muscle system," Aur called out with a smile on his face.

Seeing the one added extra point on his future talent, Aur's eyes lit up.
"My theory was correct; with any substantial increase in my strength, there will be an increase in my talent as well," Aur thought.
However, even after training for so long, Aur's Muscle Mass had barely increased by a point in these twenty-three days, which was insane for him.
Although he did primarily train only his mana, still, his basic quest and the extra effort he used to train his body didn't do much at all.
Even using two hundred kilograms of weight barely did anything to his body.
"Yes, it is true. You haven't heard about it?"
"Well, brother, you know I am in seclusion all year round," the man said while scratching his head.
He and his friend were heading towards their own class since it was the day of the assessment again.
Just then, they heard a murmur to their side, which made their gazes also be drawn.
There stood Aur, who was even taller than before, slowly making his way.
"Is that the kid the teachers were talking proudly about?"
"Yeah, I heard he did quite well in the assessment as well. Unfortunately, his talent will eventually weigh him down. Forget about it."
The two shook their heads as they weren't better as well, considering their talent was even lower than Aur himself.
However, they didn't feel much amazement at Aur, since they believed that if they were in Aur's position, they would also work hard.
Aur heard the whispers of the others, however, he didn't care much.
It was nice to have a reputation; however, being controlled by reputation was a different matter altogether.
As he reached his classroom and sat in the middle seat again, patiently waiting, something unexpected happened which greatly surprised Aur.
Henry directly walked into the classroom with a smile on his face. The moment he entered, a strange silence engulfed the entire room as their eyes fell on with clear disgust and mockery.
"How did this horny bastard come here? He dared to harass our leader's daughter, and he even dared to show his face again. Does he have no shame?" one of the girls said with a disgusted expression.
Hearing this, Henry's ears started to twitch uncontrollably, and his face became even darker.
He took a deep breath, calming down. Suddenly, he spotted someone, which made his face brighten as he walked up.
The moment he did, the girl shut her mouth in fear, but Henry just ignored her completely, walking past her as if she was thin air, directly walking up to Aur.
"Aur, how are you?" Henry said with a smile on his face.
"Huh?" Aur raised his head, looking at Henry with a strange expression on his face. "I am fine, but what do you want?"
"Good, may I sit next to you then?" he asked with a smile on his face.
"Sit wherever you want," Aur casually spoke as he withdrew his crimson gaze again.
"Very well then." Henry nodded his head and directly sat next to Aur's seat to the left.
