BXBX NOVEL Chapter 81: Anne
"You don\'t have to force yourself if you don\'t want to…" William spoke with a bitter smile on his face.
"No, wait, we can talk." A small blush formed on her face while she looked at the floor with shyness, completely unlike her personality just a while ago.
William\'s eyes lit up when he heard this as the two went away with a certain amount of distance to each other. Amelia\'s cheeks were shaded in pink blush as they walked, which was very much noticed by William.
"Mother, it looks like I can finally get you a bride…" he muttered to himself while looking up at the sky, his golden eyes filled with reminiscences.
However, right beside him, Angel was also traveling silently, while silently staring at Amelia.
William looked at these with his eyebrows raised. "I guess I will have a handful soon," he thought to himself with a weird sigh.
Aur looked at these with a casual shrug of his shoulder.
Soon, the evaluation ended, and the results came out soon. Although William was not present, everyone already knew that he would score first, so nobody complained. As a matter of fact, he did become first.
While Aur was at the bottom of the tenth.
Although his cultivation was good and his combat power was also good, there were many individuals better than Aur, at least in spells.
So Aur getting the rankings of barely tenth was still acceptable to him.
Aur walked out of the place with a vial in his hand. Looking at it, he couldn\'t help but sigh in pity.
"If I had more strength, I might have been able to beat them, but then…" his crimson eyes narrowed.
Suddenly, his ears twitched as he heard a familiar voice.
"Brother Aur, wait." Anne\'s breathing was ragged as she looked at him with a small blush on her face.
"Hmm?" Aur frowned.
"Brother Aur, I would like to invite you to a party that we will be organizing. Will you please come as well?" Anne said with a smile on her face.
"I am not interested in parties." Aur simply shook his head while glancing at her.
Anne was a little stunned.
"The party is a private one. As you know, me and Leo have just dated with each other, and in celebration of that, we are organizing a party for some of our friends, and you are one of our friends. So please, Aur, come to the party." Anne said shyly as she looked at the floor.
Aur expressionlessly looked at Anne and thought about something.
"When will the party be organized?" he asked with a thoughtful expression.
"It will be tonight."
"Sure, I will come." Aur replied.
Which made Anne cheerful as she hopped like a bunny. "Thank you, brother Aur, you are the best. You must come." However, as Anne was jumping, she accidentally stumbled on her feet, causing her to fall.
Thud!
Anne fell to the ground with a painful groan as she looked at Aur, who had a concerned expression on his face.
"Are you fine, Anne?" Aur hurriedly went up to her and helped her stand up.
Anne took the hands of Aur and stood up from the ground while patting the dust of her skirt.
"Yes, I am alright now." Anne said with a small blush, her grip on Aur tightening as she looked at him with her crystal green eyes.
Aur just remained expressionlessly as he stared at her with his crimson eyes as well.
After they looked at each other for a long time, suddenly Anne\'s grips loosened as she backed away.
"I must go, brother Aur. Remember to come, okay." She hurriedly ran with hurried footsteps.
After Anne disappeared in the horizon, Aur\'s expression morphed to a cold one with his eyes flashing with a killing intent.
"These girls and that Leo…." Aur internally sneered as he returned back to his dorm.
Like the other students from class 1-A, almost everyone had a house of their own. Although it might be called a dorm, in actuality, it was an entire small house all for Aur himself, and he would continue to own it even after he graduated from the academy.
These were the special perks for being a middle-grade talent.
After he entered the dorm, he casually greeted his maid, Lucy, who was doing her own thing, polishing her nails.
"Young master, you are here." Lucy smiled upon seeing Aur.
"Hmm." Aur just smiled while nodding his head. "I will be going out tonight. You don\'t have to prepare me dinner."
"You master, then can I-"
"It\'s my friend\'s private party." Aur spoke, which made Lucy have a sad expression on her face.
Seeing this, he expressionlessly walked up to her, patting her on the head.
"Don\'t worry, I will come back, so you don\'t have to worry about it." Aur whispered in Lucy\'s ears.
"Yes, young master." Lucy blushed as she went away, her bountiful figure moving up and down as she disappeared from Aur\'s vision.
Aur shook his head with a sigh. "I gotta admit, the academy knows our preferences quite well."
He mused as he looked at the receding figure of Lucy. Although they might be spies planted by the academy, they were quite pleasing to look at, and they were all curvy in the right places.
Thinking of this, Aur snickered. "I wonder who chose this woman to be assigned to us; he or she is definitely a person of culture."
Aur returned to his room and took out a vial from his pocket, which contained a golden liquid inside.
This was the special reward he had received for coming out in the 10th position in the ranking. In fact, the others also received a similar portion for all those who could rank from fourth to tenth, although the top three had more lucrative rewards with the golden vial as well. However, the main reward was, after all, the golden vial.
Thinking of this, Aur sighed. He wanted to get this reward quite badly, although he might not be rewarded with mana crystals or such like the people who ranked higher than him, but he had no use for mana crystals currently.
"Muscle system," Aur said in a practiced voice as a thin blue panel appeared right in front of his eyes.

Seeing the almost half-filled storage space, Aur couldn\'t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. After all, the entire space was pretty much filled with mana crystals only right now.
"Now it\'s time to consume the vial." He muttered with a strange excitement coursing in his veins.
These golden vials had the name of "body-strengthening elixir." As the name suggests, it helped one to strengthen their body.
Aur opened the lid of the bottle and smelled it.
"There is no smell." Aur thought as he directly drank the entire vial in one go without a shred of hesitation.
