Chapter 106: Testing out Ten Leaps and No Luck?
"Young master, are you going again?" Lucy asked tentatively.
Aur looked at the woman with a smile on his face. "Yes, I will be going again."
"Okay, young master." She said in a meek voice.
A small frown appeared on his face, which disappeared in a blink of an eye as he smiled, walking up to her.
"I need to buy some items for the spell I need and have been searching in the caravan for three days already. Hopefully, I will get it today, Lucy." He whispered in her ears, his hot breath stinging her skin.
"Yes, young master." Lucy nodded her head meekly and hurriedly left the place.
After she left, Aur's expression turned cold, and he left his dorm.
The sun had just risen from the west, causing the entire surrounding of the village to be boiling hot and humid.
Aur felt the heat, however, he wasn't affected much by it at all as he looked ahead.
Unlike his previous world, the sun rose from the opposite side instead of the east, which made his theory that this was an ancient time where mana was available quickly go away, or even the future of his previous world when he first saw the sun.
The road wasn't as crowded as it was previously on the first night of the caravan, however, it was still as bustling as previously.
Although the walls of the academy were gone, but that didn't mean the people from outside could enter the academy now.
There were still guards guarding the entire place.
"This is too slow." Aur thought with a frown on his face as his crimson eyes started to shine with a strange pattern. The moment he did, he was launched into the air, almost like he was flying.
Every step he took was like taking ten steps in an instant, causing Aur's speed to increase almost by ten times as well.
"Tier One: Ten Leaps."
The wind breeze Aur as he closed his eyes, enjoying the wind that was galing past him.
Swish! Swish!
His short white hair stood up due to the wind as he made past people at a terrifying speed.
"Mother, look there seems to be a wind man." A little girl said as she pulled the helm of her mother with curious eyes.
Swish!
The mother shook her head. "My daughter started to daydream again."
"I am not daydreaming at all, look there is really a big brother there."
"Really?" She asked with raised eyebrows as she looked at the direction where her daughter was pointing at, only to see nothing as a breeze went past them.
Seeing this, she shook her head again with a sigh. "I need to prepare my daughter for this cruelty."
"Your homework will be raised ten times."
"What?" The little girl said with disbelief.
"You lied to me."
"I am not really lying. I saw a silhouette of a big brother who passed us just now."
The mother didn't speak a word as she dragged her daughter into the house again.
Aur's ears twitched as he heard the conversation since he was walking so fast now because of his base speed being increased massively, he was like the wind but still, he didn't hit anything even till now because of his five enhanced senses.
Although his eyes were closed, that didn't mean he couldn't feel the wind through his skin or hear the voices of people from his ears.
As Aur slowly reached the market, he hurriedly canceled his spell, causing him to come to an abrupt halt.
"That was fun." He muttered with excitement, which soon returned to calmness as he walked into the caravan.
His footsteps measured as he walked in the familiar shop, however, strangely, there was no sound of bickering or anything here.
"Oh, Aur, you are here again?" The man had red crimson hair and wore brown robes, said with a surprised expression on his face.
Aur nodded his head with a smile on his face. "Adrian, yes, I wanted to try my luck here again."
Adrian raised his eyebrows, however, he soon shook his head. "Alright, if you say so."
As he walked away from him, directly entering the shop with a smirk on his face.
The mana stones that were put here had very low chances of getting anything good from it as they were kept for the mortals, but in actuality, the real treasures were hidden inside the shop exclusively for the wizards.
Not only did it have a higher chance of getting treasures, they were even chances of getting spells from them.
The people surrounding Aur were mostly all from the academy itself. Only the first day was occupied with mortals. The other days pretty much were only occupied with Wizards from the academy or even the most casual ones like his father and mother. They didn't have much of an authoritative position, however, their position was naturally much higher than an ordinary mortal itself.
Aur quickly chose a purple stone according to the description Sebastian had given him and looked around the place here and there.
"Cut the stone here."
"Yes, young master." A servant said politely and started to skillfully chip down the stone bit by bit, his expression serious.
Although it was unlikely to have a treasure, facing the consequences of breaking these treasures was terrifying.
However, Aur's attention wasn't on the stones itself but on the surrounding people around him.

"Where are you Sebastian?" He thought with a frown on his face. Although from the diary it was written when he cut the stone, there was no fixed time of when he came, so Aur needed to wait and wait.
While waiting, he had already cut ten, already which were all a null to Aur's disappointment.
"My luck isn't great." He thought with a frown. The sun was already setting in the distance, however, there was still not a trace of Sebastian anywhere he could find.
"Aur, you still here?" Adrian asked with a surprised expression.
Aur turned towards Adrian and looked behind him, where two servants were carrying bags for him.
"Yeah, I will be staying up late. I need to try my luck more. I will surely get something if I choose the stones here." He said with a determined glint flashing through his crimson eyes.
Adrian shook his head seeing this.
"Eh, why are you shaking your head, brother?" Aur asked with a confused expression on his face.
"Nothing, just amused, that's all." Adrian said as he walked out, and the two servants followed him.
Aur just watched the fleeting figure of Adrian and soon returned to choosing a mana stone, taking his sweet time with it.
After Adrian traveled far away, he let out a small chuckle, which soon turned into an uncontrollable laugh the more he thought about it.
Hahahah!
"That fool…" Adrian couldn't stop laughing for a solid ten minutes.
Only stopping when he felt the weird gazes of the people of the caravan staring at him with curiosity.
He hurriedly did his best to stop his laughter and scurried away with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"I thought that Aur was smart, but unfortunately…" He shook his head with a smirk. "I can manipulate him to join my faction in the academy."
Although Aur might be stupid, however, his strength was undeniable, and Adrian wanted people just like him, stupid but strong.
