My Muscle System in the Mage World

Williams stared vacantly at the ceiling with a dead-eyed expression while he was lost in thought.

"Don't worry, Master. He was just a weakling; you will surpass him in no time. It was just that he had an early victory, but you can beat that bad guy up whenever you want," the teeming voice rang in his ears.

This somehow soothed him, as Williams felt a lot better.

"How are you, my disciple?"

Suddenly a hoarse voice of a man sounded in his ears which caused him to look to his right to see a man in casual clothing staring at him with a smile on his face.

"Master, I am sorry I have let you down," William replied in a dead tone.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Take these as stepping stones for you to climb up," Noah said with a smile. "Remember, Williams, life is about learning new things every day and will never stop learning; that is the only way for you to improve yourself."

William just nodded his head while his eyes were still dull.

Seeing this, Noah frowned. "Do you know the difference between a loser and a winner?"

Hearing this, William was confused. "No."

"They give up as soon as they get a setback, while the winner constantly faces setbacks but remains stubborn to achieve his goal no matter the extent."

William's expression morphed into a frown when he heard this.

"So either you can be a loser or a winner; it's your choice."

William looked up only to see thin air; Noah had vanished into thin air.

However, William soon went into a contemplative expression as he closed his eyes in deep thought.

Before he violently opened his eyes, revealing his blue pupils.

"I must train harder."

...

Noah casually appeared inside his room as he sat on his throne as the village chief.

However, the moment he was inside, his hair seemed to turn grey as his body slowly became malnourished.

"I don't have much time left. I finally found the candidate for me to take over his body," he muttered as he sat on his throne.

"No matter who it is, I must leave, for that, my little pawn, Williams, you must grow stronger. Instructing Jonathan was quite good. He has done his job well. Now, grow my pawn until you are a tier two mage," Noah laughed hysterically, "then you will fulfil your purpose for your master."

...

"Brother Aur, remember you have to come with us to the restaurant without fail."

"Yes, yes," Aur said with a helpless expression as he looked at a brown-haired girl.

"Alright, it's a promise then," the brown-haired girl nodded with a satisfied expression on her face.

Aur and a group of five silently walked in the passageway while all talking in a harmonious tone as they went forward to their next destination.

"Do you know what our next class is going to be?" Leo suddenly asked with a mysterious expression on his face.

Everyone's ears perked up when they heard him, drawing all the attention to Leo.

"The next class, we are finally allowed to choose our vital spell."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"Is that really true, Brother Leo? We are finally going to have our own spell," the brown-haired girl spoke in excitement.

"Yes, it is true," Leo nodded his head with a smug expression on his face.

"As friends, I will tell you about the most important thing for you guys to choose from the countless types of spells you can choose from. Remember, when you choose a vital spell, you must only imprint a spell with a similar or complementary attribute to your mental space only similar to the vital spell attribute itself," Leo said in a wise tone full of voice, almost like he was a sage.

They nodded their heads; this much information was already known to them during their early education.

"This much you should all know, but some of you might not know that you should capitalise on your own strength and match it with your body to choose the spell you want to make as your vital spell."

"What do you mean?" The brown-haired girl was the first to ask with a confused expression, while others were also confused.

"I will give you an example: if your body is sturdy and your physique is good, you should make an earth attribute vital spell for yourself, which perfectly complements your body and stacks together with your strength."

"This is the most logical thing to do."

They had already reached the place for the next classroom guided by their personal servants.

However, this time there were two guards standing at the door with a stern expression, coldly looking at them.

The group shrugged as they were about to enter, but the loud voices of the guards startled them.

"Servants are not allowed to enter these rooms," they both roared at the same time.

"You don't have to scream about it..." Leo said bitterly as he instructed his servants, and everyone also instructed their servants to stay, including Aur.

As they entered the place, they saw benches neatly aligned with paper in front of each desk.

"Looks like we are the first to enter, friends. Let's sit near each other," Leo said as they sat in the middle seats, the most suitable arrangement for them.

As Aur sat on the bench, he curiously looked at the paper, but it was empty, which made a small frown appear on his face.

"What's the use of this paper anyway..." Aur shrugged as he patiently waited for the teacher to enter.

While he was looking at the paper, he also checked his system.

"Let's increase my blood and qi a little..." Aur thought internally as he allocated thirteen of the stat points to his blood and Qi.

Boom!

His blood flow increased as his heart pumped blood faster and purer, while Aur felt his body filled with power and strength.

He seemed to become younger, and his vitality increased by several times.

Feeling the changes in his body, Aur nodded his head with a satisfied expression on his face.

After upgrading his muscle attribute and his blood and qi, Aur had learned a significant difference and their key features.

While the muscle attribute was related to the literal definition of the three types of his muscles: skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles, these were the main components that were strengthened when Aur allocated his attributes.

His bones were also strengthened with it, but not to that large extent.

Blood and Qi, on the other hand, were like the vitality of his body, similar to the fuel for his body.

In short, the muscle was like the car, and the blood and Qi were like the fuel for his body, in layman's terms.

Soon, the class filled up again, with the exception of the front middle row seat where Williams used to sit.
