My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 68: Returning Home

After all, only the cream of the crop—those who were on the verge of breaking through tier two mage—were allowed to become the teachers of the academy, the third most powerful people who had authority in the academy.

The elders were second, and the leader was the first in authority whom no one could disobey.

"Hey kid, what are you doing here?" Jonathan asked when he noticed Aur standing there with brightened eyes. "Are you here to train?"

Aur just shook his head which disappointed Jonathan.

"Then, what do you want?" Jonathan asked.

"I want to ask a small favour." Aur smiled as his crimson eyes glinted with slyness, as if they were the abyss hellfire that could burn everyone with just his gaze.

"Hmm, what is it?" Jonathan said with a frown.

...

"Kid, remember you must be back within a week. You can return sooner; however, if you don't come back in a week, you will face the consequences," Jonathan said while rubbing his temples.

"Thank you, teacher," Aur bowed with a smile on his face as he walked out.

Boom!

The huge gates opened for him, and he looked outside, smiling seeing the familiar streets and people.

"Remember, kid," Jonathan said as he turned back, leaving.

"That kid caused quite a bit of trouble for just going outside," he thought as he went back to the workplace to teach his other disciple again.

Aur walked outside with a smile on his face.

He was still wearing the black robes that his mother gave him; however, there was a badge of a strange triangle on his chest. In his hand, there was a small metal bracelet, and he kept a backpack on his back.

Whenever people around him saw this badge, everyone bowed and made way for him, no matter who it was, with reverence in their eyes.

After some searching, Aur finally saw his home in the distance. It blended quite well with the other houses, making it difficult to spot.

As he stepped outside the house, Ava came out of the door, running towards him as she hugged him tightly.

"Brother, you are finally back."

"Of course, I am back," Aur said with a smile on his face as he pinched her cheeks, which were bloated like his own when he was a baby.

Umu!

"You are bullying me, brother," Ava said with an angry expression, touching her red cheeks.

Aur just snickered with a smile on his face.

"You seemed to have grown taller too." She had to raise her head to the highest point to actually see his face. He was at least double her height.

While Evelyn blushed hearing these, "Oh, you two, stop buttering me up and eat the meal," she said while shaking her head with embarrassment.

However, her cheeks were as red as a bun.

Ava and Aur looked at each other with a smirk on their faces as if in tactical agreement.

"Alright, now eat, you guys." She also sat down on a chair.

"What about Father?" Aur asked with confusion.

"Don't worry about him. You should eat instead first before worrying about him. After all, you have come here hungry. It's better for you to eat right now," Evelyn said with a smile on her face.

"Alright, Mom." Ava shouted with a loud smile. "Put me down, brother, already."

"Okay, okay." Aur put her down in a seat with her eyes sparkling, looking at the meat.

Evelyn shook her head speechlessly. "I guess you took this trait from your brother, Aur. He eats like a monster like you."

"Hehehe." Ava just giggled.

While Aur was stunned, "What does that have to do with me?" He retorted with speechlessness.

"It has everything to do with you, son. Except for you, nobody eats like a monster other than you in the family," Evelyn said with a smirk.

"I guess you are right." Aur nodded his head with a thoughtful expression.

"Now eat, son." She smiled.

Just at that time, Adam's loud laughter came from outside.

"Oh, your father has come." Evelyn's eyes brightened as Adam came from the door.

"Son." Adam nodded his head with a smile on his face.

"Dear, it is just dinner time. You have come at the right time," Evelyn said with a smile on her face.

"Oh indeed I have come at the right time." Adam nodded his head as he sat down as well.

"Let's eat dinner then." Evelyn smiled, seeing everyone present at the dinner table.

"Thank you for the meal."

The four prayed in unison as they silently ate the dinner.

The two Aur and Ava were the ones who consumed the food like hungry beasts, while Adam and Evelyn just ate in moderate amounts, seeing their children eat in such quantities they undoubtedly felt proud.

"They will probably progress far more than us in the future," Evelyn thought with some pride, especially when she looked at Aur, who was about 6 feet tall.

The tallest member of the family was already him, with Adam barely being 5 feet 10 inches and she being even smaller.
