"Any suggestions from the other elders?" Noah scanned the room, finding no responses. "Alright then, it's decided. Aur will become a temporary elder of the academy."
The expressions of the other elders shifted subtly upon hearing these words.
"He really is willing to give the position of the village elder to Aur," remarked the second elder, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I thought he would have reserved it for William. It looks like that guy will directly become the village leader, then."
"So, will you accept this prestigious position, Aur?" Noah asked, a smile playing on his lips.
At this moment, Aur himself was the most surprised person in the room.
"These exceeded my expectations," a thought flashed through Aur's mind as he respectfully nodded.
"Yes."
"Good," Noah's smile widened. "It's decided. From now on, you are the temporary elder."
"Thank you, Leader," Aur replied, his tone pleasant.
"You can leave now. The academy guards will come and introduce you to all your duties."
With a nod, Aur left the room.
The elders also left the place one by one, leaving only Noah behind.
"He is a lucky person. I was initially planning to make William the elder, as he also had broken through to the tier one wizard realm, but his resources are enough for him to reach tier two, and he is nothing but a pig being raised on a farm anyway," Noah mused to himself.
In Noah's eyes, Aur held more value to the village than William. William was merely a pawn, destined to be sent to Lord Sky and sacrificed for some unknown purpose.
While Noah wasn't privy to the reasons why a grand Tier Four wizard would require a high-grade mental space, the same couldn't be said for Aur.
After all, reports had shown that even as a wizard apprentice, Aur possessed terrifying combat prowess solely through his sheer physical strength.
Although advancing in the realm didn't extend people's lifespans or enhance their physical strength, it was a different story for spells.
As they returned to his dorm, they found a familiar figure in silver armor waiting for him with a respectful expression.
"Cameron?" Aur said in surprise.
"Elder Aur," Cameron replied, bowing respectfully.
"Raise your head," Aur commanded, and Cameron complied immediately.
"Why are you here?" Aur asked, his expression showing some surprise.
"I have been commanded to become your personal guard, Elder Aur," Cameron explained, looking slightly confused.
"Oh," Aur said, studying Cameron. "I have just been declared as the elder by Noah not too long ago, but information has already been passed. It looks like the communication in the village is extremely fast and carried out in a systematic manner," Aur observed, his eyes flickering with a calculating gaze.
"Elder Aur," Cameron said, handing Aur an insignia with a gold bird on it.
"This is the proof of your identity as an elder of our village. As long as you drop your blood on it, it will instantly belong to you."
"Oh," Aur took the insignia.
"Elder Aur, I will guide you to your new residence," Cameron said softly.
"Okay," Aur replied, smiling at Lucy. "Pack up all things, Lucy," he instructed, his gaze warm and tender as he looked at her with love.
"Yes, young master," Lucy blushed and immediately went inside.
"Wait here, Cameron. I will need to pack my things as well. I can't let this little girl carry everything," Aur said with a smile.
"As you instruct, Elder Aur," Cameron replied, a glint in his eyes.
Aur entered his room in the dorm and looked around the spacious area without much thought.
He packed up all his belongings, storing them in the storage ring given to him by the second elder. After double-checking, he felt relieved to see the empty room and walked out.
