BXBX NOVEL Chapter 65: Elemental Mastery
The only thing that was harder to do was the five element mastery of breathing. He needed to have a deep understanding of the five elements to complete this spell, or he would fail miserably at it.
"Maybe I need to go back to the house for my secret stash..." Aur thought with a bitter expression.
He was actually rich, with around 50 middle-grade mana crystals at home.
The average salary of an elder was fifty middle-grade mana crystals per month, so Aur was undoubtedly rich. Even the academy teachers were paid around ten to twenty mana crystals according to their ranks.
His father earned a salary of around two or three middle-grade mana crystals per month, so you could see the disparity between the status.
Instead of directly imprinting the spell, Aur meditated on the five-elements breathing technique continuously.
After completing one circulation of the breathing technique, he nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
Although the breathing technique didn\'t increase his muscle mass like previously, Aur was gaining a deeper comprehension of the five elements one by one.
The most powerful was the fire, however, it was balanced by the water. The water was controlled by the earth, and the earth was controlled by the air while also nurturing the fire. Without air, fire didn\'t exist, and the soul helped him to balance all these four elements, making them in line with each other and containing them within his soul, combining them together.
Except for the individual elements, Aur needed to learn how to combine them all in the finite details down to every component of the elements, from its spell to the temperature and many more.
The data he needed was very large in quantity, and not just the data, he needed to understand each and every single thing in the data, which was even hard for him with his intelligence that increased his comprehension speed.
"I wonder what the protagonist will do to overcome this… but it might be that his magic doesn\'t need comprehension." Aur thought. After all, every magic was unique and different in its own right and needed different things for it, just like his vitality magic spells. They needed different materials for it, however, he didn\'t need to understand anything to imprint it.
While the five-elemental spell was more towards understanding, the material used wasn\'t as valuable as the vitality spells.
"Muscle system." He muttered as the blue panel flickered in his vision.

Aur nodded his head seeing the stats and almost without blinking, he allocated it all towards his intelligence. After all, he needed intelligence to increase his comprehension, which would help him comprehend the spell. Besides, he had already decided to allocate all his stats points towards intelligence anyway, so it didn\'t matter to him much.
The panel flickered in Aur\'s vision and appeared stabilised again.

"I hope this helps me to comprehend things faster."
Thinking of this, Aur nodded his head and started to meditate again.
The four lights flashed in the room continuously as he complimented each circulation time and time again as his understanding for the spell deepened continuously like a steady stream.
By the end, Aur was meditating with his body soaked in sweat as he still continued to meditate.
With the final flash of the four lights in his body, he finally opened his eyes with a satisfied expression on his face.
"I feel like my five elemental comprehension has reached a new height…" Aur looked at thin air and somehow could understand everything about it in just moments, like how polluted it was, the wind directions, and other stuff. He could easily say everything about this as if he was born with this information.
He looked at the ground made of wood and could feel the earth hidden by the floor.
Aur looked at the water in the cup besides his bed and could understand the temperature and the nature of it naturally.
And Aur looked at the bulb which was emitting heat in the ceiling. Somehow the data of the bulb in the heat came to his mind naturally.
It was as if his entire perspective of the entire world has changed with just the five-elemental breathing technique.
"So this is the power of mastering the entire breathing teaching?" Aur thought with astonishment, however, he just shook his head. "I am still not even close enough to actually master the breathing technique. I have just reached a breakthrough. It looks like the mana crystals were worth it after all."
Aur excitedly stood up and walked out of his room.
And ate to his fill again with the amazed gaze of Lucy who was watching this.
"He didn\'t eat anything for the whole day and is gobbling his food like a monster at night…" She shook his head. "How can he even digest this?"
Aur was completely ignorant to the internal thoughts of his little maid, even if he knew he wouldn\'t care as much. Why would he care about a spy?
After he finished eating his meal, he kissed Lucy with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for the good food." Aur smiled kindly and warmly before he entered back in his room.
Leaving an unsatisfied Lucy behind. "Is he this pure that he isn\'t taking me?" she thought with a frown on her face as she saw the broad back of Aur leaving her sight.
"What a pure soul, but in the end, he is a virgin anyway. How would he experience it?" Lucy thought with a shrug and started to clean the entire place up. She was also one to be honest, however, she knew the cruelty of the world. So although Lucy has always considered herself as weaker, she assumed her to be smarter than him.
Thinking of this, Lucy snickered. "However, this cleaning part is really annoying. I have to clean the entire dorm of his with just me."
Aur returned to his room nonchalantly and started to set up material for the elemental mastery spell without much thought.
He has already made a fake persona. Now he was deepening it till everyone believed so that they can\'t tell the truth from the lie.
Once he showed love on multiple occasions to Lucy, if all the points are combined, any logical person will think that he truly loves her. Which was exactly what Aur wanted to do.
