Chapter 145: Provocation

I Just Inherited The Arcane Emperor's Legacy

"As for this pill, it possesses a unique property that allows for a temporary enhancement of your Aura Technique," Maria explained, her voice filled with caution. "It grants you a momentary boost, making it particularly useful in battle. However, it's crucial to remember that this pill should only be used once every six months at best, especially if you plan on using it multiple times."

She paused, surveying the attentive faces before her, ensuring they understood the gravity of her words. "Your body may not be adequately prepared to handle the Elemental Aura it's not trained for," she warned, emphasizing the potential risks.

"As for the next pill, it is more tame. It is also considered a necessity by many Aura Knights. It is the Aura Recovery Pill. This is a pill that has grades. Oh, I never explained grades to you. Let me tell you that first.

Each pill's potency can be quickly judged by the grade of the pill. For example, the Aura Gathering Pill is a 1st Grade Pill, which means it is mainly for 1st Circle Aura Knight. But that doesn't mean only they should use it. It means the effect isn't as great for people higher than that level.

As for a 2nd Grade, there is the Aura Essence Pill as well as the Aura Luminary Pill. The Aura Fighting Pill is a 3rd Grade Pill, so it is mainly for people in the 3rd Circle. But there are a lot of pills that can be multiple grades.

The Aura Fighting Pill is a 3rd Grade Pill, but if it is made with better materials, then it would be a higher-grade pill. And the Aura Recovery Pill is a pill like this. It can range from the 1st Grade all the way to the 9th Grade. But you won't have to concern yourself with mythical pills like those," she said.

She took a look at the clock in the room and decided it was time to wrap up.

"So you know that you can use an Aura Gathering Pill to reach the Peak-Stage 1st Circle Aura Knight. You can use an Aura Luminary Pill to cross that bottleneck. And you can use an Aura Essence Pill to reach the Peak Stage of the 2nd Circle.

To recover your aura after a match, there is the Aura Recovery Pill. And to increase your proficiency in Aura Techniques, there is the Aura Fighting Pill. The last pill you would need to know about would be that you can use to break through to the 3rd Circle." She said.

Leo's interest was piqued. He was very interested in it since he was definitely going to buy more than one of that pill.

"The pill is the Essence Refiner Pill. It can increase your chances of a breakthrough by 10%, but it has a lot of impurities. You cannot take another pill for a month and you will need to stay at that level for 5 months before trying to break through to the next minor level. And that is all you need to know about pils," Maria ended her lecture.

"Any questions?" She asked. She looked around and saw no hands were getting up. She then said, "Good. Class is dismissed."

Leo and every one next to him all quickly left the building. They then thought about what they wanted to do again.

"Do we have enough points to go to any of the training grounds?" Marcus asked everyone.

Madison and Leo shook their heads while the others nodded. While Leo had only 5000 points left, the others hadn't used any of their points from the rankings. As for Madison, she only had a pitiful 400 points from hunting 5 1st Circle Magical Beasts over the four days.

"So we can't do that today as well. Should we just try to attempt that after a month?" Lyra asked everyone. Everyone agreed except Leo.

"Don't let me not having points stop you. You guys can check it out while I gather the points to attempt it. If you stop increasing your strength just because you want to wait for others, then you will be left behind." He scolded Lyra.

"But-" Marcus was going to defend her but a glare from Leo scared him off. Even though he had never been in a fight with Leo, he had accepted him as a figure of authority for some reason.

"Fine. We will check it out. What will you guys do?" She asked him.

He looked at Madison."I will go hunt," she said.

"I will just train in my dorm," Leo said.

Everyone quickly dispersed. Leo went back to his room. He quickly got onto his bed and started training his magic. He didn't want to waste any time. He was going to only spend at most half of his time on training aura. Everything else had to go for training his magic.

He took out a leaf and started gathering magic. He was so deeply engrossed that he never noticed that someone had entered his room. He only realized that when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He opened his eyes and was ready to cast a spell in a second the minute he felt the touch. He had also gotten ready to get away but didn't when he realized who the person was. It was just Roland.

"Is there something I can help you with?" He asked Roland.

Roland nodded. "Yes. So, I need the help of someone to fight a battle for me," he said.

Leo was confused. "Sorry?"

"So, I got into a fight with another mage about something dumb. I was just defending someone in my class but-" He was interrupted by Leo.

"Details, Roland. Take a deep breath and just include details. You are too stressed," he said to Roland. Roland was sweating and clearly stressed about the incident. Leo calmed him down first.

He took a deep breath and slowly collected himself. After a minute, he started from the top.

"So, I was in my class for mages. I was just sitting with one of my friends. We were listening to the lecture until the class turned into a practical one. So we went to showcase our skills. However, my friend didn't do well in the practical.

It's not even his fault. He is a commoner and only got into the academy because his aptitude for magic was immense. But he doesn't know any magic yet. Since he couldn't perform any of the basic spells, one of the nobles started mocking him. The noble's name is Victoria Evernight," Roland explained.

"I didn't like this and went over when she used a spell on the commoner. It was immediately blocked by our instructor, but she was only left with a warning. She quickly went back to verbally assaulting him when I confronted her. And that is where I made a mistake," he said.

Leo nodded. "Mistake? It sounds perfectly righteous of you. How is it a mistake?" He asked.

"Well, I said that she was a failure in magic for having to compare herself with a commoner who only started to learn magic," he said.

Leo's mouth curved into a smile.
