My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 96: Guards of the Academy

"At this rate, I might really die right now." Hanma looked back, terror in his eyes.

"No, I can't die. How could I die, the great me who has once almost reached the tier four would die now?" Hanma thought with a terrified expression, his countenance changing to that of despair.

However, suddenly he paused with a frown on his face as the realization sank in him.

"You can stop hiding, Noah. I know you are there..." Hanma turned around with a cold expression, completely unlike his panic steps like before.

The moment he spoke, a man in casual clothing revealed himself, smiling. It was Noah.

"Why don't you perform more? It was an entertaining sight to look at." Noah said with a little disappointed expression.

Hanma didn't reply as he only narrowed his eyes on Noah.

"Do you really want to push me right now?" Hanma asked as his eyes had already narrowed to a slit.

The chilling wind of the forest fell upon the entire surrounding, however, these two weren't even nearly affected by it even one bit as the air itself seemed to turn heavy as the two faced off against one another.

Before long, Noah suddenly broke the surrounding with a chuckle on his face.

"...." Noah moved his mouth.

"Hmm?" Aur frowned as he didn't hear a single word spoken by Noah, he could only see the moving mouth.

"This is..." The more he tried to focus his attention, the more his vision blurred.

"Has my time run out already?" Aur thought helplessly.

However, to his surprise, Aur's vision did change, however, it wasn't to the real world. Instead, it was the simple room where it all started with Sebastian and the people who were praising him.

"Why am I back here again?" Aur thought with a little disappointed expression.

He tried to change his vision, however, no matter how he tried, he couldn't return back to the previous place at all.

"I am running out of time. I must find useful information here..."

Aur started to look around the home with hurried steps.

He first went to the kitchen to look, only to be disappointed with the rations and stove there. In simple design, there was nothing there of value to Aur.

Just like that, as he strolled around the house, he found numerous other things that he would find in every house of a mortal. There weren't even that many mana crystals as well.

"Tsk, a poor bastard." Aur didn't give up just yet as he looked around the place even more carefully.

He was in Sebastian's room, looking at his messy bed and the filthy room, with garbage bags littered on the ground, a disgusting smell emitting from it.

"What a miserable man."

He mused as suddenly a white paper sheet caught Aur's attention.

"Should I increase my strength?" Aur thought with a frown.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, Aur woke up from his contemplation as he focused his attention on the door.

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

"It's me, young master."

Aur frowned when he heard this. "Haven't I told you not to disturb me already, no matter what?"

"Yes, you did, but it is an emergency, young master." Lucy said helplessly.

Aur's frown deepened with an unpleasant expression.

"Alright." He spoke with his expression gradually turning cold before he unlocked the door.

"Young master." Lucy bowed to him with a meek expression on her face.

Aur ignored the woman who was bowing as he focused on the other person besides her.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Well," A smile formed on the man's face. "I am Haki, nice to meet you, Sir Aur."

The man said with a respectful tone. He was wearing a shining white armor and had a short sword around his waist.

Aur saw the reflection of the symbol in his armor, which made him narrow his eyes.

"So, what made the esteemed guard of the academy show up in my dorm?" Aur spoke.

Causing the man to smile even more. "I see you have heard about us."

"Of course, who wouldn't have heard about the heroic deed of the guards of the academy?" Aur smiled amicably.

"So, what makes you come here?" He asked with a glint in his eyes.
