My Muscle System in the Mage World

Not only were his muscles being strengthened, but also his bones were being strained to the limits, growing even stronger than before.

Huff! Huff!

Aur took a deep breath as he relaxed for a split second, letting his muscles loosen before continuing to train again.

Almost instinctively, his crimson eyes widened to the limits, his forehead furrowed to create lines and wrinkles, and his mouth gradually distorted; he revealed a crazed expression.

"Let's increase the weight even more." He said in a loud tone and increased the weight in the bracers again to five hundred kilograms!

If it wasn't for the sound-cancelling and weight-absorbing spell in the room, the entire dorm of his might have trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.

Finally, a long time later, a "cuckoo" sound came from the clock in the wall, making him pause momentarily.

"It's finally time." Aur said while raising his head with a smile on his face.

"Time passes in a blink of an eye. Sigh, it's already been a week already, and it all passed away from just me training the whole time in my room." The more he thought, the more Aur couldn't help but sigh.

The reason that Aur wanted to take Adriana to the cave was simple: because it was too dangerous for him.

Although more than a century had passed after Hanma died, Aur would never underestimate a peak tier four Wizard. Who knows what they have left in the cave for the intruders?

Just the spell almost killed him. Aur couldn't imagine the amount of traps set up in the cave, even if most of them were likely to be washed away from time. He had Sebastian's diary, which let him know what was in the cave.

However, unlike Aur, Sebastian had directly accepted the inheritance, so his journey was actually smooth sailing with the help of Hanma himself.

As Aur was thinking, he heard a "knock" from his door, causing his attraction to be drawn towards the sound.

"Who is it?" He asked with a frown on his face.

"It is me, young master." Lucy said. "There is a teacher from the academy looking for you."

"Oh." Aur raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Stay here to wait. I will be arriving in about ten minutes."

"But… but…" Lucy's voice was filled with trepidation.

"Leave." Aur simply replied, causing Lucy to shut up.

"Yes, young master." Lucy obediently bowed and left.

Aur prepared all the things he needed for the trip this time, keeping all the valuables in his system storage and the superficial things in his space bag instead.

After he prepared everything, Aur stretched his body. "It will be quite an adventure this time."

…

"Aur?" Adriana said with a frown on her face. She was wearing light armor which covered her chest and legs and a pair of light bracers. With her red hair, she looked rather heroic and strong.

"Sorry, teacher. I was a little late because of something." Aur scratched his head with an apologetic expression.

"It's fine. Let's go." Adriana nodded her head.

Aur suddenly looked at Lucy with a smile on his face. "Lucy, you stay here."

"Okay, young master." Lucy nodded her head.

As they left, Aur and Adriana slowly walked through the passageway. Just then, Aur suddenly spoke, attracting her attention.

"One thing, teacher. Have you told anyone where you are going?" Aur suddenly asked with a glint in his eyes.

"No, why? Since we are going on a secret trip, then nobody should be informed of it." Adriana frowned.

"Nothing." Aur shook his head.

"Aur, let's go then." Adriana said with a seductive smile.

However, a frown morphed into Aur's face instead.

"Teacher, the place I told you about is very mysterious; however, we might be found suspicious if we leave together…" He said tentatively.

"I have a way for us to get out without people even knowing that we got out." Adriana said with a smirk.

Aur raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Please tell me."

"Follow me." Adriana said as she walked out, and Aur followed behind her.

The walls of the academy were already up like a giant wall that blocked the outside world from the inner place of the academy.

Adriana led him around the place before Aur saw a familiar building, which caused a frown to appear on his face.

"Is that a bar?" Aur asked with a sly smile. "Does teacher Adriana love me?" He whispered to her.

"Don't be such an arrogant kid. Just follow the pro in disguise." Adriana said as she paused. "And I have a boyfriend."

"Oh, really?" Aur raised his head with a regretful expression. "Too bad then."

Adriana looked up to see Aur's face and she looked from up to down as if scrutinising his body.

Before she closed her eyes and walked forward.

"Too bad this kid was my type, unfortunately…" Adriana shook her head with a sigh.

Before long, the two entered the bar, which was relatively empty, completely different from the one he had previously visited. The bar was in pretty bad shape and there were no obscene scenes here.

"Give me a chug of Moonfire Elixir." Adriana shouted, and instantly the owner of the bar, a chubby, short man, smiled amicably and went out to take the wine out personally with puppy eyes.

"Here you go, madam." He gave her the drink with puppy eyes. The drink was in a huge glass, and the liquid was tinged in a purple color.

"Do you want one?" Adriana turned to Aur.

"No, I don't want one." Aur shook his head with raised eyebrows. This was basically the name of one of the wines of this world.

"Suit your own taste then." She just casually shrugged.
