My Muscle System in the Mage World

However, his attention was drawn to something else.

There was a grey-coloured spell rotating among his other spells in his mental space. With some reluctance, Aur willed mana to pour into the spell as it continued to spin.

Suddenly, Aur's body felt light, as if he had become one with the wind, seamlessly blending into thin air almost to the point of invisibility.

"Oh?" Aur observed his own body, but he couldn't see a single trace of himself. "I can be invisible!?"

He glanced back at his mental space and noticed that barely any mana had been drained from it, which only added to his surprise.

"Looks like these spells don't consume much," Aur remarked as he cancelled the invisibility spell, causing his body to reappear with his white hair fluttering.

"Now I have attack, defence, movement, and concealment spells. Now the investigation spell would completely cover all my aspects," Aur mused, his expression contemplative. Although he was still not satisfied with his movement spell and some other spells, they worked for now.

"It's time to refine a spell from thief magic, blink!" Aur thought as he immediately began preparing all the materials for it.

However, when he was halfway through refining the spell, a slight mishap occurred, causing the entire spell to fail.

Aur could only reveal a bitter smile as he started to refine the spell again, but this time he failed miserably once more.

"Let's take a break for some time," Aur decided, rubbing his temple.

"Let me look at the books the second elder had given me previously."

He retrieved his ring and began reading the books. Soon, Aur found one of the spells that caught his eye, making them brighten with interest.

"Tranquil Mind Incantation," Aur mused as he read the name of the spell. As the name suggested, it helped calm one's mind, allowing the caster to reach an optimal state of mentality.

Although meditation could achieve the same effect, it would take time, unlike casting these spells, which could instantly calm all internal chaotic thoughts.

For countless individuals, these spells were immensely beneficial, even during battle, as a calm mind made for better decision-making.

The materials for the spell were relatively common, and Aur already had them in the ring given by the second elder. So, he quickly refined it.

To his surprise, the spell was successfully refined on the first try, and Aur immediately imprinted it into his mental space.

Aur's crimson eyes glowed as he activated the spell, instantly feeling a sense of calmness seeping into his body, masking all his internal useless thoughts as if he had achieved inner peace.

"Not bad," Aur muttered in a calm tone. The consumption of these spells was relatively average; if he used the spell continuously for around more than fifty times, only then could his mana reserve become depleted.

So Aur wasn't too worried about using it multiple times.

"Now it's time to refine the tier one spell: blink again," Aur thought as he tried after using his tranquil incarnation again. However, he failed once more.

Without much choice, Aur began to meditate again, drawing in the mana from the surroundings.

He was very close to filling his entire mental space. From his estimate, it would take around half a year to do so, and then he would need to break through, which might take around five years to break through the tier one without any resources.

The Wizard path was very difficult to follow, even for those who are talented. Without a step-by-step process and the necessary resources, it was almost impossible to progress along the path.

Aur thoughtfully took out a potion from his ring and opened its cork. Immediately, a disgusting smell permeated from it, assaulting his nose.

Bearing the disgusting smell, he directly drank the potion. A murky taste immediately filled Aur's taste buds.

However, Aur wasn't focusing on these details. Instead, he looked at his mental space and discovered that he was absorbing mana from the surrounding area twice as fast as before, much to Aur's satisfaction.

"Alchemy definitely does wonders." he mused however Aur couldn't do alchemy and produce potion currently because he needed to be a tier one wizard for it without blue mana it was impossible to do alchemy.

Just like that Aur spent his time training his physical body and refining various spells in seclusion while refining as much mana as he could.

Four months later.

Aur walked out of his dorm with a calm expression on his face.

"Captain Aur." John called with a smile on his face. The women and two men besides her also had respectful expressions on there face.

Aur just calmly nodded his head "it's time for us to do another mission." he spoke with a smile as well.

The four of them nodded their heads.

"By the way, why does the atmosphere in the academy seem to be depressing?" Aur casually asked, glancing at the faces of various people.

"You don't know!?" the woman in the group exclaimed with a stunned expression.

Aur just glanced at her with a questioning gaze "no, Darcy."

"I am sorry for my rude manner, captain." Darcy seemed to realise something and hurriedly bowed her head.

"It's fine, tell me what happened?" Aur said.

"Well an instructor of the academy died and it was our homeroom teacher." Darcy whispered in a low tone.

Aur's pupil slightly flashed with a strange light but his expression was still calm "tell me about it."

"Her name was Adriana. Apparently they had first thought that she was on a mission which for the instructors would take several months to complete however even after a long time she hadn't come the academy immediately started to investigate however the information seemed to have been leaked by someone that the academy instructor was killed making the entire academy in a tense atmosphere."
