My Muscle System in the Mage World

The elderly man glanced at his granddaughter, who stood nervously behind them.

A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes as he slowly guided the others to the best hut available.

Once everyone was allocated their accommodations, the elderly man pulled his daughter aside, his expression cold and stern.

"Have you seduced any of the immortal masters?" His tone brooked no argument.

The girl immediately fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face. "No, Grandpa, I couldn't…"

"Really?" The elderly man scrutinised his granddaughter closely.

"Yes, yes, Grandpa," she whimpered, her voice trembling.

"But I saw one of the immortal masters who seemed to be interested in you," he continued. The girl was drenched in cold sweat at his words.

The elderly man's cunning eyes narrowed further. "You know we are nothing in front of those immortals. They could easily dispatch ten of our strongest men with a single move. It's impossible to even hope to defeat them, so we must strive to make a favourable impression.

If we succeed, our tribe might gain their protection and emerge victorious over the other tribes in the unfortunate event of conflict," he explained with a regretful tone.

"Grandpa, wait," the girl interjected, her voice filled with determination. "I will offer myself to them if it means our tribe could be safe."

The elderly man regarded her with a mixture of pride and concern. "It seems you truly care for the tribe's welfare if you are willing to seduce that formidable youth who appears to be the leader of the immortal group," he suggested, a smile playing on his lips.

A blush crept onto the girl's face, but she nodded firmly in response.

"I know my granddaughter's preferences, but considering his temperament, if he rejects you, seduce the person who was lustfully gazing at you," the elderly man said, leaving her alone.

…

Aur sat on the comfy bed and couldn't help but be surprised. This bed was very warm and cozy, and the smell of wood still lingered in the air. He estimated that it hadn't been built too long ago.

As he sat cross-legged, a stream of thoughts flashed in his mind. Retrieving some paper from his bag, he opened it and began to read the information one by one.

Actually, their mission wasn't solely to capture these ten bunnies, but also to investigate these tribes and slaughter them if necessary.

The tribes in these places were actually people banished from the village.

Since they were allowed entry in desperation, they started to live in the wild. Most of these people were mortals, and even if there were wizards among them, without the worldly essence to temper and create mental space, no new wizards could be produced.

Naturally, since they lived in danger in the wild with no protection and no knowledge of wizards, they called them immortals out of ignorance.

Even the tribe elder, who seemed intelligent, was the same. Being smart didn't mean they couldn't be ignorant.

With a group of around a hundred mortal population, slaughtering them all wasn't a problem, especially since they didn't have a single wizard.

"Aur, when will you start the hidden mission?" George suddenly asked as he flashed into the hut.

"There is no hurry, let's wait for nightfall," Aur said lightly.

"Okay," George nodded and left the place.

Aur sighed slightly as he assessed his situation.

His mental space was almost entirely filled up with colourless mana, and his muscles were subtly twitching involuntarily.

He could feel the slight stabbing sensation constantly destroying his muscles and rebuilding them.

Although the pain wasn't intense, it persisted like needles poking him slightly. Aur couldn't concentrate properly because of this discomfort.

With a sigh, Aur focused his attention.

"Muscle system."

Aur carefully scrutinized the panel, his brow furrowed in thought.

"These minor points may not necessarily provide me with any benefits at all," he muttered with some hesitation.

Just like before, when Aur had used the points to glimpse into the future, it showed irrelevant information about the girl and events that would have unfolded if he hadn't intervened.

It proved to be useless to him, offering little benefit, especially considering that the glimpses into the future were limited and mostly irrelevant.

When he had broken through the high wizard apprentice realm and used the minor point of his talent, he saw the future of a normal man living and then being slaughtered by William for disrespecting him.

That was the extent of what he saw.

So Aur hadn't yet used the minor point he had gained from breaking through the peak of wizard apprentice, and he was still contemplating what to do about it.

Eventually, Aur shook his head. "It's not worth it at the moment. After I break through the tier one wizard realm, I should use both the major and minor points."

Aur quickly stood up from the bed and focused on his mental space, his crimson eyes slowly starting to glow.

He directed his gaze about two metres ahead of him and concentrated.

Swish!

His figer instantly disappeared and reappeared in the exact location he had thought of.

"Not bad," Aur nodded with satisfaction, then shifted his focus to a spot ten metres behind him.

Once again, he vanished from his position and reappeared at the new location, like a ghost flickering in and out of existence.

"Tier one: Blink," Aur declared. The spell's name was simple, but its effectiveness was staggering.

His ability to vanish and reappear wasn't due to extreme speed, but rather the direct opening of space, allowing him to traverse the distance instantly.

Aur couldn't perceive or sense anything happening around him as he cast the spell, but its effects were remarkable.

However, in battle, the spell wasn't particularly effective yet.

As a wizard apprentice, Aur found that the time required to cast the spell left him vulnerable to attack, providing ample opportunity for opponents to strike him to pieces until he could even use this spell.
