Chapter 343: Righteousness and Pride
Aur walked out of the room dressed in a simple black martial attire.
"Master." Tina bowed with her pupils flashing with a strange color.
"Hmm." He glanced at her, walking up to her with a smile on his face. "Your use would finally be decided today. As long as you are obedient, you won't die."
Tina nodded her head, her expression indescribable.
"I feel like I am slowly becoming the villain somehow." Aur couldn't help but think when he recalled his plan.
"This is the only way for me to increase my strength. If I stay in hiding until I complete all the daily quests and become "immortal," that is theoretically possible; however, what guarantees that I won't be killed, and some people won't find out?"
Aur's eyes flashed.
This was a magical world, and there were higher than tier six wizards, up to tier nine.
Who knows what kind of magical means those tier seven, eight, or even tier nine wizards have?
Yes, Aur believed that there were still tier nine wizards left with the destiny broken or damaged.
Essentially, a person can have infinite lifespan, so there was no way those old monsters would simply die.
Unfortunately, this was just a conjecture, and he couldn't verify it for now.
He shook his head. "I am going too far. First, I need to take the opportunity here and then run away."
"Master, we have arrived." Tina said respectfully while bowing her head.
"Hmm." Aur nodded his head casually while entering the room with a smile on his face.
Immediately, his eyes were attracted to the strong presence of the tall and slender woman with almost no curves.
Her emerald eyes, complemented with her green hair, seemed to be looking at him with some amusement.
"Why did you call?" Aur quickly redacted his gaze and looked at Nina with a frown on his face, as if the strong presence of the woman was invisible to him.
Nina and her master seemed to be stunned on the spot before her master started laughing.
While Nina nervously gulped:
"Aur, this… this is my master…"
The master shook her hand carelessly with an amusing expression.
"I see you are a very brave boy."
"I am not brave." Aur shook his head expressionless.
"Then what are you?"
"I am just arrogant."
Silence!
The room seemed to fall into a strange silence.
Nina's face seemed to be unnaturally stiff, even though the master seemed to be slightly affected, but as expected of an old powerhouse.
She quickly calmed down. There was no longer an amused expression on her face but instead deep coldness, coldness that seemed to chill the spine as if it was the winter.
"I thought you were interesting since you have been recommended by Nina, but it seems like the pitiful talent of an alchemist has gotten to your head already."
Her presence quickly eloped the room, revealing the presence of a tier five wizard.
Aur's expression finally changed, but in his heart, he was secretly calculating.
"Can I use the tier six spell on her? But if I do that, it will be too risky." Aur calmly realized, so he didn't act immediately.
There was a difference between tier four and tier five. Although the tier six spell would also affect her, the effect would be much worse, and he refused to believe that she didn't have any means to protect her.
The academy was a stronger force than the only duke because it was personally nurtured by the king.
And his second hesitation was because the spell wasn't truly his, and controlling it without it being in his mental space was not possible.
He couldn't fully release the power of the spell as well, even though he had some peak tier six mana from Lily.
Then the last fact is that the spell is completely vulnerable when used.
Aur could hide it in the system in leisure times, but to activate the spell, either it needed to be in his mental space or on the outside.
All these restrictions caused Aur to be restrained for now.
"Looks like you have learned your position now." The emerald-eyed woman squinted her eyes, but when she looked at the crimson eyes of the youth, the only thing she saw was a deep defiance.
"Is he rebellious or is he plotting something else?"
Her eyes squinted even more dangerously with a flash of killing intent.
"Master, no…" Nina shook her head with fear.
"Hmm." Finally, she withdrew her killing intent with a smile on her face.
"I forgive you only because my dear disciple asked for it."
Aur nodded his head, his knees were already falling to the floor.
The master looked at Nina again and finally relented with a helpless sigh, but there was a doting look in her eyes.
"I almost forgot why I came here. Would you like to join our academy?"
Hearing this, Aur seemed to be hesitating for a moment. At this time, she released her presence again.
Aur still didn't relent this time, even when the pressure from the presence dug deep into his own body, almost bursting all his muscles.
He didn't relent.
"Why are you so stubborn?" Her emerald pupil flickered.
"I am the servant of the young miss. How could I abandon my royalty just to join you?"
"Just that?" the master said with a little look of disbelief.
Aur nodded righteously.
"Then I can talk to Rowena about it, and if she decides to give you to us, will you agree?"

"Yes," he said with a flat face, but his eyes were filled with determination.
"Pft- " even Nina couldn't help but laugh incredulously.
The master just glanced at her and replied in a simple tone, "Go get Rowena."
Rowena immediately ran away with a smile still on her face.
Then an awkward silence presented itself in the room. Aur and she were along with no side talking about anything.
However, she didn't care about this for now.
"This guy seemed to be not simple at all. Is he really willing to be a slave?" She looked deeply at Aur again.
"Forget it, even if this peak tier one wizard is scheming something, but in front of my strength, all things can be destroyed."
There was some pride in her thoughts.
For tier four and higher wizards, they mostly looked down on lower-tier wizards, and she was the same. Pride was deeply in her bones.
