My Muscle System in the Mage World

As Aur stepped through the door, he couldn't help but notice the dignified youth seated before him.

Clad in casual attire, the youth exuded an air of authority and confidence. Indeed, unlike his previous visits, there were no elders present this time; only Noah, the leader, occupied the space.

Aur shook his head with a bitter sigh. He had only come to the leader's office during his interrogation.

Of course, he would be able to see countless elders sitting there without a leak in their presence. However, from one glance at their demeanour, one could tell that they all carried heavy authority and were lofty during his previous visit.

"Leader," Aur addressed Noah respectfully, his tone devoid of any hint of arrogance or servility.

Noah looked at the paper before him, not even stealing a glance at him.

"Aur, have you reached the tier one wizard realm?" Noah inquired, finally lifting his head to meet Aur's gaze after a long time.

Aur remained silent, his presence commanding and unwavering as he released his presence unceremoniously, without hesitation.

Noah finally raised his brows in amusement. "He really has reached the tier one wizard realm," he muttered to himself.

"Take back your presence," Noah said, shaking his hand.

"Yes, leader," Aur respectfully withdrew his presence.

Noah nodded in approval, slightly amazed.

Actions speak louder than words, and since Noah had seen it with his own eyes, he didn't believe this to be untrue!

Noah's eyes faintly glowed as he used an unknown spell to communicate with the elder.

"Aur, wait a moment."

"Yes, leader," Aur respectfully bowed.

After a short time, a knock came from the door, and the second elder entered with a surprised expression. Upon seeing Aur, his expression changed to shock for a split second before returning to calm.

"Sit, Second Elder," Noah said casually, glancing at the two with a glint in his eyes and some pity.

He already had the intention to recruit Aur. However, looking at the two, it seemed unlikely. This guy had already entered the faction of the second elder, and from the looks of it, the old bastard probably had given him plenty of resources to break through to the tier one wizard realm.

"That will half-explain why he was able to reach the tier one wizard realm, but the half..." A mysterious light flashed in Noah's eyes.

Aur patiently waited, casting a tacit agreement glance at the second elder.

One by one, other elders also arrived in the hall, each bearing a different expression on their faces. They had already heard the news that Noah had shared with them.

Aur had reached tier one directly before completing five years at the academy!

This fact was terrifying to them and could be considered nothing short of a miracle. Those who could reach tier one before the academy years could be counted by hand in the history of the village.

Once all the elders had gathered in front of Noah, he clapped his hands with a smile.

"Let's begin the meeting," Noah said, looking at Aur.

"Show your presence, since there might still be some elders who don't believe you," he instructed Aur.

"Yes," Aur nodded with a respectful expression, immediately releasing his presence.

The expressions of the elders changed as they felt Aur's presence.

"Leader, you are right. I am sorry for doubting the younger generation," one of the elders spoke, and some of the other elders nodded in agreement.

Noah simply waved his hand. "It is natural."

"Alright, now let's discuss the rewards for achieving the tier one wizard realm." The moment Noah spoke, some elders frowned.

After all, the rewards would not be small for such an achievement and might even affect their own benefits. As elders, they naturally gained plenty of resources from the village's salary and various businesses.

However, for tier two wizards, the vast resources consumed daily for progression were very high. Not to mention the costs of advancing spells from tier one to tier two, which required fortunes.

Literally, fortunes to advance their spells.

Nobody wanted to give up their vested interests from their already dwindling resources.

For example, even the Sound Elder, who was a top rank among the elders and leader of the third faction, only possessed four tier two spells, despite being at the peak of tier two!

Noah could naturally see the concern of the others, but he didn't care much for his own progress. The amount these people consumed was chump change, and he had long been stuck at the early tier three wizard realm for decades now, with no hope to advance further.

"Does anyone have any suggestions?" Noah asked with a meaningful smile.

No one replied; the elders chose to remain silent, including the second elder.

"Very well then, since that is the case, I will issue the award myself," Noah chuckled before looking at Aur. "You see, Aur, due to some accident, our eighth elder has died, and the position of the elder is vacant right now."

The second elder's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Leader, it might not be appropriate for this to happen," the first elder intervened with a respectful expression.

"Oh, why not?" Noah asked curiously.

"Although achieving the tier one wizard realm is a great feat while still being a student, the fist in the end does the talking anyway. Besides, he only took twenty-five steps in the awakening ceremony, which makes it extremely hard for him to reach tier two wizard, no matter how he tries," the first elder explained with an unchanged expression.

"Hmm," a contemplative expression appeared on Noah's face.

The second elder cursed in his heart upon hearing this, silently giving a glance to the first elder. Although his expression couldn't be discerned, one could already tell what he was saying.

"You are right, first elder. It might not be appropriate for Aur to directly become the elder. However, he could become a temporary elder and take the place of the eighth elder, since he has no descendant. It would be appropriate, wouldn't it?" Second elder spoke nonchalantly while looking at Noah.

"And if he could reach tier two wizard realm, he would officially become a permanent elder."

"Oh," Noah raised his brows with a surprised expression.
