My Muscle System in the Mage World

"We will be meeting in a week at the same spot to depart for the task," Aur replied, glancing at George, who nodded in agreement.

"These seven days are for you to prepare and be in the best shape possible, gathering all the necessary items for the task and being fully ready," Aur announced, and the others nodded in unison.

After all, it was their first mission, so undoubtedly, they were all nervous, and this week would provide ample time for them to gather their thoughts and focus on the task ahead.

George displayed a slight trace of satisfaction on his stern face. "This kid is quite skilled in leadership, although it still needs some refining. He neither showed too much arrogance nor was overly gentle."

"I might not receive many rewards for guiding these juniors though if he is strong enough to even defeat Naomi until she's black and blue," he shook his head with a hint of pity.

As they engaged in conversation, a sudden commotion erupted from the hall, breaking the tranquility that enveloped them.

"William, don't be too arrogant!" echoed a voice, piercing through the air.

Aur's ears perked up at the mention of the name "William," his attention instantly drawn to the unfolding drama.

"Should we go and check what is happening?" John inquired, his expression laced with uncertainty, seeking Aur's guidance.

However, Aur simply shook his head, indicating there was no need for immediate intervention.

"We will be meeting in the academy hall after a week," Aur declared calmly, his tone decisive yet composed. With that, he gracefully exited the hall, his strides casual yet purposeful.

The icy cold wind whipped through the snowy landscape, causing Aur's white hair to dance in the air, almost blending seamlessly with the wintry surroundings, rendering him nearly indistinguishable.

Left behind, the other four companions exchanged bewildered glances, their minds abuzz with curiosity and speculation.

Eventually, they too dispersed, leaving the hall in a state of lingering tension from the commotion of William and the others.

George also seemed to have vanished into thin air. Whatever the commotion was regarding William, it was none of Aur's business.

The only reason Aur had not killed William until now was simply because he wanted to use him as a shield. Once every drop of value had been squeezed out of William, then Aur would end his miserable life.

Aur returned to the black market wearing a different capybara mask and headed towards the black market once more.

A guide was ready to assist him again the moment he entered the market, but this time he refused the offer and, with measured steps, made his way to the largest building in the area.

Entering the shop, Aur swiftly handed a list of ingredients to the servant, who respectfully accepted it and promptly disappeared.

Before long, the servant returned with a bag in hand.

"Young master, it will be forty middle-grade mana crystals," the servant whispered.

A small frown appeared on Aur's face, but he didn't say much. Quietly, he handed the servant a small pouch.

The servant accepted the pouch and disappeared once more, returning shortly after.

"Young lord, please," the servant said, gesturing towards the bag.

Aur nodded in acknowledgment and departed, changing his mask to that of an elephant midway before returning to his dormitory.

Looking at the pile of rare resources that were lying on the table and his pocket which was slightly diminishing, Aur revealed a bitter smile.

"Sigh, just for a tier one spell, this will cost me a fortune to refine," Aur muttered, rubbing his forehead in frustration.

Not only was the thieving hand spell itself complex to comprehend, but the items required to construct it were also exceedingly rare. Yet, despite the steep cost, Aur believed it to be worthwhile.

If Aur could successfully procure resources even from a corpse, he would soon amass an impressive arsenal of spells without much effort.

Of course, he still needed to grasp the fundamental principles of each spell to wield them effectively, but with his high level of comprehension, mastering basic spells was well within his reach.

This was precisely why he had chosen thieving magic!

"Sigh, I wish I had these spells when I killed Adriana…" Aur's expression softened with regret as he reflected on past events. However, he quickly accepted this loss. Life was unpredictable; anything could happen at any given moment.

What had happened was already in the past. Now, Aur had to focus on the future, and these spells were crucial to his plans.

Although he didn't currently require an attack spell—his body was formidable enough to handle any threats—as for his wizard path, given his limited talent the future wasn't too bright…

Aur was acutely aware that he would eventually encounter a bottleneck in his Wizard realm and might struggle to advance further. However, the same couldn't be said about his system.

His muscle system allowed him to continuously strengthen his physique without encountering any bottleneck.

…

The sun cast a faint glow over the streets, already bustling with activity. Remnants of snow scattered about, melting under the gentle touch of the sun's rays, creating a watery sheen on the streets.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, individuals extended their hands towards the water, causing it to instantly evaporate into the sky.

These were the logistic wizards, tasked with performing minor tasks for the village. While their combat prowess might be considered weak, they filled the lower ranking position of the village,

Their capacity for work was naturally hundreds of times better than that of any mortal, and that's how the academy operates.

These logistic wizards are dedicated to handling menial tasks, yet their quality of life is inevitably better than that of the mortals within the village or even wizards outside the academy.

Logistic wizards hold great importance due to their spells, which streamline various chores.

After all, without them, would the esteemed elders and leaders stoop to perform such tasks? It was obviously an impossibility!

Take Aur's parents, for example. Despite being wizards, Adam had forcefully broken through the tier one wizard realm, rendering him unable to progress any further.

Consequently, his spells were significantly weaker, limiting him to working as a mere teacher outside the academy for mortals.

As for Evelyn she was too weak to even be selected as even the logistic wizard.
