My Muscle System in the Mage World

"My maid, you shouldn't be so sad. I need to train now, but I will be all yours when I have the time," Aur said with a tender gaze.

"Thank you, young master," Lucy said with her face red.

"Good." He patted her bouncy ass and returned to his own room, eliciting a moan from her.

Aur internally sneered the moment he returned to his room. "How interesting; if it weren't for maintaining my facade, I would have killed her already," he thought.

After all, showing too much understanding was also self-harmful, as Aur had avoided almost every trick from the academy. They might eventually reach a terrifying conclusion for knowing too much.

Knowing too much can also lead to your death.

"You will be my weakness from now on, little girl…" Aur thought with a malicious glint.

He needed to give the academy a false sense of his weakness so that they would have a handle on him, at least until he was strong enough to either overthrow the academy or walk unfettered.

Until then, giving the academy a handle on him was the better choice currently.

Aur was now sure that the tier one which showed in his panel in his muscle means his body strength was comparable to the full power of a tier one spell. It simply meant that his own physical body's raw strength was comparable to a full tier one spell.

"I wonder what Wizard's Hands can do…" Aur thought curiously. Although Wizard's Hand was a tier one spell, as a mage apprentice, he couldn't fully unleash its power. In fact, even one-twentieth of the power was a very hard job for him to use.

Since every spell started with tier one, and there was no tier zero, at least that was Aur's understanding till now.

Aur casually willed it, and instantly the panel materialized again, and the storage space section displayed different numbers.

Storage space: 0.019/1 cubic meter

An unconscious mouse appeared in front of Aur in thin air.

Seeing the mouse, Aur nodded his head. After he had discovered the storage space function, the only thing he had previously stored was a mana crystal and a mouse he casually picked up for his experiment.

To his surprise, the mouse could also enter his storage space. However, it needed to be unconscious and completely stop resisting before Aur could fit the mouse inside the storage space.

This revelation opened up endless possibilities for Aur.

"I can exploit this a lot," Aur thought with a satisfied expression. The other thing he found out was that time in the system's storage space passed at the same rate as in the real world. Items stored there would still decay with time.

"I guess that's fine for now," he thought with some disappointment.

As he slowly extended his hands toward the mouse and activated his vital spell from his mental spell, the spell floating in his mental space began to rotate, and mana started to be absorbed by the spell.

He slowly opened his crimson eyes, with the reflection of the spell in his eyes as well.

Aur's hands flashed with a blue light, and the mouse slowly started to float up into the air.

He moved his hand, and the mouse moved according to the movement of his hands as well.

Aur wanted to tighten his fist, but unfortunately, he couldn't, no matter how hard he tried.

Veins popped in his broad arms, but no matter how much strength he applied, he couldn't directly crush the mouse into meat paste.

Seeing this, Aur frowned. "I wonder how heavy things I can carry? If I reach enough strength, can I directly crush people with my Wizard's Hands?" Countless thoughts swirled in his mind without answers.

"Let me try it on someone. The spell might not be related to my strength; it might be related to the strength of the spell itself, or even with the boost of my physical strength, I might not be able to crush the mouse." Aur thought, as his second previous assumption might be true.

From Aur's understanding, Wizard's Hand used the mana in the air as the medium, with the vitality of the creature that resonated to connect to each other and be manipulated by his hand.

That meant that the strength of Aur was terrifyingly reduced in the mana and dispersed everywhere.

"I didn't grind this world's physics for nothing…" Aur thought with a satisfied expression on his assumption.

The laws and physics of this world were very different from his previous world. Not that he had studied much in his previous life, but in this life, he had studied as much as he wanted when he was a child in his free time.

The more you lack a thing, the more you yearn for it.

Aur also wanted more education; however, after he satiated his curiosity, he was done with studying for life.

His crimson eyes lit up upon seeing a tiny mosquito in the distance, and instantly, he activated the spell again.

Aur's hands glowed with a blue light again, and the spell was reflected in his crimson eyes again.

The mosquito suddenly halted in mid-air as if it was stopped by an unknown force. No matter how it tried to flap its wings, it was helpless against the force.

Aur slowly started to close his hand into a fist, and to his surprise, the mosquito slowly started to be gradually crushed as well.

"Let's put more strength…" He thought as he put his full strength into it instantly, as his fist tightened entirely.

Splash!

A thin amount of blue blood splashed out from its body as the mosquito was smashed into a small smear with its colorless blood.

Looking at this, Aur nodded his head with a satisfied expression.

"As long as the object has a slight amount of vitality, I can use Wizard's Hand to move it around." He thought. However, for now, it was entirely useless most of the time in combat.

"Better than nothing." Aur nodded his head with a satisfied expression and started to train his body again. He hadn't completed the daily quest for today, so he did physical training with glee.

It didn't matter if Aur didn't attend his normal classes because it was not supposed to be attended anyway.

The only important one was the first day, and the others were all boring classes, so he didn't need to go there. After these, the only important days would be at the first of every month, which was mandatory to attend, as everyone's progress is found from there.

Thinking of this, Aur delved into his physical training. First, he looked at his daily quest.
