Chapter 166: Intent
Aur looked around. There were around ten people who had raised their hand to follow and the rest were hesitating however they looked very tempted.
While Aur remained silent, blending with the others. Mia showed the strongest combat strength among these seniors and she was domineering with a kind gesture which made it natural for the others to be excited as their guide for them.
However Aur felt doubt in his heat. There was no free launch in the world!
"There is no way that they are bothered to guide us just because they were instructed by the second elder and even fought for the opportunity and the strange feeling i felt in my perception…" Aur narrowed his eyes.
The more he contemplated the more he felt that there was something wrong about this which made him reluctant to act on it.
Although he was strong, that was only for students of the first year.
From what Aur could see these seniors of his were all in tier one wizard realm even he had to be careful against them however that didn\'t which gave Aur even more reason to be alerted and become more vigilant.
Aur could look through their perspective, why would they be so eager and even fight among themselves just for guiding the juniors?
As he thought about the ten students were already fighting among themselves, after all only five people could be selected in one group and there were already too many people.
"Hmm the battle shouldn\'t last long since there is barely anyone who is even a peak wizard apprentice." Aur thought to himself.
These students were still not equipped with enough spells to defend themselves yet with a few spells in their arsenal which made their combat strength extremely weak.
In fact there wasn\'t much difference between the ranks of wizard apprentices with just the mana reserve and the slight increase in the application of the tier one spell; however overall a normal peak wizard apprentice couldn\'t defeat three early normal wizard apprentices if the spell is the same.
For one to have a crucial breakthrough in the journey of the wizards one had to have break there mental space once making and reconstructing it making mental space which could convert the mana from the outside into blue mana.
Them fighting against each other with low level spells was like fighting with equal individuals. If they fought there might be a difference however when a herd of them fights then it will be up to luck and the insights of the person even if they were individually stronger.
Luck is a form of strength as well!
The battle was extremely short for these ten students as Aur had expected as five came out victorious trumpet standing up with a smirk on their face.
But Aur was a little surprised seeing Sophia who was still standing there in a trumpet victory with a smile on her face.
Her injuries were quite minimal compared to the others with just some slight cuts here and there.
She was actually the least injured in the group.
"There is something wrong with their girl…"
Aur\'s crimson eyes narrowed when he remembered the fight that occurred between them. The fights were extremely quick but he could vividly remember every detail whenever Sophia was attacked by anyone she somehow managed to dodge or even counter every single movement.
Even though she attracted the most attention and was targeted, somehow it all worked in her favour causing her to win with ease as if luck itself was favouring her heavily.
"Alright." Mia clapped her hand with a smile on her face drawing everyone\'s attention "these five people will be selected in my team the other junior brother and sister i am sorry but rules are rules so you have to choose the other seniors." she said with an extremely apologetic face.
Seeing her apologetic face, the five students who were utterly defeated somehow felt good for themselves, making their mood better.
While the other five seniors all remained throughout with a smile on their face however their eyes were constantly changing with different thoughts.
Soon everyone started to choose which senior they want to work under. Aur also chooses the person randomly.
The one he chose was a senior student with short blue hair with a distinctive scar in his left eyes giving him an intimidating personality although he was in the leaner build but he naturally excluded a slight hint of killing intent making the other students afraid.
Other than Aur who chose these senior brother willingly the other who choose were all the defeated students.
"Aur you don\'t want to join my group?" Suddenly Mia spoke with a curious tone.
"No." Aur simply replied in a respectful tone and became quiet.
Seeing this Mia casually shrugged "your loss then." she murmured, returning back.
The left eyed scarred senior just remained silently coldly looking at Mia.
Just as she reached the place, his killing intent suddenly released. A heavy feeling permeated the atmosphere as Aur could feel a distinctive stench of death around the surroundings.
"How many living beings have these people killed?" Aur mused to himself. Although Aur had a fair share of killing being an mercenary and all but he wasn\'t even close to forming a killing intent.
The most he could do is release a murderous thought with his aura making it a sense of intimidation.
Aura helped one boost their overall physical constitution, Presence was a naturally emitting thing that was based on the true strength of the person and lastly intent was a group of thought which would endless be imagined till it becomes reality itself.
Intent was very illusionary but once it can materialise to the real world its power becomes terrifying.
Of course it couldn\'t directly attack a person but it can make a person thought weaker or cut their will power to resist.
