BXBX NOVEL Chapter 35: Mental Space
"Any more questions?" she asked expressionlessly.
However, to her dismay, another kid raised his hand and asked another question. "What are the colours of the further stages of mana, teacher?"
"Oh, a good question," Adriana smiled as she deeply scrutinised the kid, as if remembering him which made the kid feel a shiver down his back, before she spoke again. "A Mage apprentice has colourless mana, tier one has blue mana, tier two has green-coloured mana, while tier three has red-coloured mana. Is that clear to everyone?"
"What comes after tier three, then?" the boy asked with curiosity.
"I don\'t know if the village has not birthed a tier four ever since its creation," Adriana simply said as she looked at Williams. However, seeing his sleepy figure, she was about to erupt.
Just then, the bulky man put a hand on her shoulder, which helped her calm her anger. She took deep breaths, and finally, a smile graced her lips.
"So, let\'s go on with the history lesson about the place we are staying in and the things we have here."
Aur looked at all these dramas silently with a calm gaze; however, he wasn\'t really looking at them. In front of him was a blue panel with a big sign hung on top of it saying "MUSCLE SYSTEM."
–––––
[Muscle System]
[Name: Aur Cromwell/ Auriel

Quest: Daily (completed)]

Aur hadn\'t put any stat points into his blood and Qi for a whole month; that was the reason the stat points were so bloated. However, this wasn\'t the reason he was truly contemplating whether to put stat points into it or not; rather, he was remembering the book he had gotten from that strange place.
The blue panel vanished from his vision as he looked at the golden-haired boy sitting at the first bench.
"He must have gotten that holy magic book already," Aur could already guess it. But he wasn\'t truly interested in that book either because, sure, it might be powerful considering it had a strange consciousness inside it, as if it were a living person. It might not really be helpful to him, complementing his advantage.
Aur needed something that complemented his advantage of having strong muscles. The variance spell book that was all clustered in the book, although it could be said to be an irrational spell with no other same attribute complementing it, was rather useless. But just one spell caught his attention, making him excited.
"But for that, I need to choose a rather sketchy spell that hasn\'t been learned for decades," Aur\'s eyes narrowed as he looked around. If he suddenly came up with a spell that was completely different from the village teachings as a vital spell, the best thing that could happen to him was being branded as a traitor and receiving a death sentence.
"I will increase the blood and Qi attribute after I construct my first vital spell," Aur remained expressionless as he listened to Adriana\'s teachings. However, hearing things he had already heard about, which were just being repeated again, he lost interest and stayed silent and patient.
These things were already taught by his father, Adam, to him—all the history and geography, as well as the tiers of the mage. In fact, Adam was an even better teacher than her in the explaining part.
But Adam taught ordinary kids only until they turned eight, while Adriana taught awakened mages. The disparity in status was evident. It all boiled down to one thing: power!
While Adam was more capable, he barely entered the ranks of a tier one mage, and even then, he had no hope to progress further. The teachers in the academy had to be at least peak tier one mages to become one, all with the potential to become tier two mages in the future.
Aur just sighed as he wished for the class to end already.
Finally, after a long hour of lecture on all the things he had already learned, the class ended.
Adriana signaled the man to stop reading and stood up from the jade bed.
"Alright, the class has ended. Now it\'s time for your training before you can finally choose a spell of your liking," she yawned.
"This woman slept through the whole class."
This thought echoed through the children, but their eyes lit up with excitement when they heard that they could finally choose their vital spell, even though they suddenly heard snoring noises.
"Even Williams fell asleep." They were stunned but saw Adriana with an uncaring gaze.
Everyone shrugged. "This is the benefit of being a high-grade talent," their eyes glinted with envy, and some with lust.
"Williams, wake up, it\'s time for another class," Adriana said in whispers as she left the class.
William slowly opened his blue eyes and looked around at the people who were staring at him.
"What are you all looking at?" he said as his gaze turned cold.
The people who surrounded him hurriedly left, escorted by their servants to a huge ground with some weight lifting equipment.
William was the last to leave his classroom.
However, when he went out, his gaze turned cold.
"What are you still doing here? Didn\'t I tell you to leave already?" he said with a cold tone.
In front of him stood a blue-haired beauty in a kimono bowing toward him.
As she bowed, William could faintly see her ample cleavage without any undergarments.
"Young master, I am your personal servant. How can I leave?"
"I said to leave me alone."
"But… but young master…"
"What \'but\'? I said to leave, so leave already." Williams\' gaze turned colder.
Sob!
The girl suddenly started to sob.
"Huh," he was stunned when he saw this.
"Why are you sobbing?"
"If I can\'t serve you, young master, I won\'t be able to pay for the medicinal fee for my mother, and I might be sold to the brothel instead. Please, you are my only hope…." She looked up at William with tear-filled eyes, revealing a face that seemed to be straight out of a statue, but her tear-filled eyes made her look extremely miserable.
William frowned when he heard this and reluctantly nodded his head. "Alright."
"Thank you, young master," the girl nodded her head, her face still filled with tears.
"Now, wipe those tears away. How could you be my maid like this?"
"Yes, young master," she hurriedly used her hands to rub her face.
"Follow me now," William coldly muttered as he left for the training ground.
