My Muscle System in the Mage World

"Oh," Aur raised his eyebrows as he casually punched again at the charging boar.

Boom!

The boar was sent backward by 50 steps; however, it couldn't do sufficient damage to the boar. Instead, the ice seemed to rage even more as the boar ground its strong hind legs against the ground, the ice sliding creating a strange bone-chilling sound.

"It's time to finish it," Aur casually muttered while slowly walking up to the boar.

Grrr...

The boar charged at Aur again with strength, madness reflecting in its red eyes.

Just as the boar reached near Aur, a smirk graced Aur's lips.

"It's time to test my full strength," he muttered, casually raising his right arm for a punch, all his muscles working in full tandem to his right arm, supplying it with a strange strength.

Aur punched right at the face of the charging boar.

Boom!

The earth trembled with the sheer strength as Aur swung his fist, the boar taking the full impact. Aur's fist penetrated the ice spike armour of the bear as if it were thin paper. The boar bore the head-on impact, and the force sent it flying across the sky.

As the boar soared through the air, its shattered ice armour scattered in pieces. It moved even faster than when it charged towards Aur, hitting the ground with a resounding thud. Dust billowed into the air, enveloping the scene with the sheer weight of the boar.

"Has it died yet?" Aur mused to himself.

He approached the fallen boar with a slow, casual pace.

Suddenly, through the settling dust, Aur saw a faint giant shadow. He became vigilant as the shadow stood up. Just as the shadow rose, Aur heard a faint cry from the boar before it fell with another thud.

As the dust settled, the scene revealed itself—the boar lying on the ground. Whether it had died or not remained unknown, but there was a deep imprint of Aur's fist on the body of the boar, its icy armour shattered.

The two teachers who had been secretly observing had wide eyes. Especially the male teacher, whose eye pupils were increasing as if his eyes were about to pop out.

"That kid punched the ice boar to death?" he shouted in astonishing shock, forgetting where they were.

The female teacher hurriedly closed his mouth, staring daggers at the man.

Seeing this, the man scratched his head in embarrassment.

He slightly coughed as he took out the note and added three points to Aur.

"Aur has gained three points," the man announced with a smile on his face. "This kid is really astonishing. Even I would have some difficulty fighting the bear at such a close range, but he did it alone-"

"Hey, you are not forgetting our bet already?" she interrupted the man with a sneer on her face.

Hearing this, the man was involuntarily stunned as he smiled bitterly.

"Can't you let me off for once?"

"Crystal is crystal," she said, with her smirk widening. (Crystal = money)

…

Aur walked to the corpse and started to dismantle the boar skillfully, one part at a time. Since he was previously an adventurer, he had acquired such skills quite easily during his profession.

However, he had never hunted such a large prey before. Regardless of their strength, even if it was weaker, Aur rarely hunted such a big creature before—not even once.

In the past, it was simply impractical since he didn't have a storage bag, making it impossible to carry the entire animal to sell. Unfortunately, back then, the potential rewards were outweighed by the logistical challenges.

But now, with the storage bag, he could efficiently store the valuable parts.

As Aur cut through the boar's strong hide with his knife, he swiftly packed the pieces into his storage bag. However, he frowned upon realising that the knife was already becoming blunt from tearing through the tough hide.

Even though the boar was dead, it emitted a slight chilling frost that made Aur's knife freeze, highlighting the creature's inherent icy nature.

Aur rubbed his forehead as a droplet of sweat dripped down, continuing with the dismantling process.

"It's harder for the corpse to be dismantled rather than being killed," Aur mused ironically.

He spent a solid twenty minutes just dismantling the corpse and walked away with a smirk on his face.

"The beast should be worth quite a sum," Aur thought, his smile widening.

The male teacher added one more point to Aur and wrote in the side note: "for survival skills."

"Hey, are you not coming with me?" he turned sideways to her, who was counting the bag filled with mana crystals.

"Yeah, I will come after I count these. I don't want you scamming me," she replied.

"I would never," the man said with a forced smile.

At that moment, the woman mysteriously smiled, gazing silently at the man. Her eyes conveyed a clear message: "fork it out."

"Fine, fine," the man grumbled while handing her two more middle-grade mana crystals.

"Good that you are honest," the woman replied as they carefully watched Aur.

...

Noah looked at the scoreboard with a surprised expression on his face. "Someone has already hunted the boar?"

––––

Aur - 3

…

––––

This was displayed on the previously blank screen.

The footage had already shifted to the scoreboard, displaying several people, yet all of their scores remained zero, except for Aur who has moved to the first place.

"That kid's strength must not be bad if he was able to slay a wild ice boar easily," Noah said with amusement. Although Aur's physique was comparable to a tier one wizard's spell, ice wasn't an easy target, which is why teaming up was allowed. Most people formed groups of at least twenty to hunt the boar.

Although they would earn fewer points, their hunting speed would be countless times faster than hunting alone, if it was even possible for an ordinary student to do it.

Not everyone was a monster like Aur.

Just then, another point was added to the scoreboard, and there was a side note to it, causing Noah to be surprised.

"Oh, that kid has wildlife skills?" Noah thought a little puzzled.

"Leader, from the information, that kid has become a mercenary for a short time."

"Oh," Noah raised his eyebrows.

…

William slowly made his way with a group of five surrounding him.

"William, do you know that guy Aur?" one of them suddenly spoke with a smirk on his face.

"Hmm?" William frowned as he turned towards the person. "What about it?"

"That guy was too arrogant. Although he was invited by you, he didn't accept and went alone. I bet he will die alone in this forest." The man cursed with hatred in his eyes.

However, William just shook his head. "His strength is quite strong. Although he might not die, killing an ice boar might be very hard and time-consuming for him."

"William, you think so highly of him."

"No, I am just stating facts." William replied with his arms crossed behind him, portraying the demeanour of an expert.

"Hey kid, that was what I told you, don't act arrogant with my words." Asmodeus' cold tone resounded in his head, causing William to momentarily frown.

William suddenly heard a sound from the bushes, which made his eyes light up.

"There is the boar. Remember, guys, don't let it escape like the previous one." William's tone was harsh.

They had previously found one boar just casually minding its own business. However, when they got too close to it, the person who previously spoke ill of Aur messed up, causing the boar to be alerted and directly run away.

Although William tried to stop it, he was momentarily stunned, which caused the boar to gain a considerable distance, and it escaped.

These ice boars, unlike normal boars, preferred to hunt alone in the winter and immediately ran whenever they saw an enemy. However, once attacked even slightly, the ice boar would go into rage mode, never stopping until the target was eliminated or the target disappeared from its eyes.

Ice boars were rather boorish creatures that didn't have much intelligence despite their strength.

"Fire."

William roared as he released a giant ice spear from thin air. The ice spear launched towards the boar at a terrifying speed, whizzing past.

The others also released their spells, with most of them being a sharp slash of wind.

Before the boar could even react, it was hit by countless spells. Although one spell couldn't penetrate its hide, the spells accumulated, causing the ice armor to slightly break off and even penetrate the hide of the boar.

Everyone was stunned seeing how little damage they did to the boar. However, William had a cold expression on his face as he said fiercely.

"Attack again."

Another volley of spells was released; however, this time the boar had already released them as it looked at William with anger, the whites in its eyes turned red, and its ice armour turned to spikes, charging at them head-on.

The ice boar effortlessly tanked all the hits as its armour was slightly broken.

William looked coldly as he extended his hand forward, his eyes flashing with a spell as an ice armour covered his entire body.

His extended hand morphed into an ice blade.

"Attack again." William shouted as he swung the ice blade at the boar.

Boom!

A gale of ice spikes materialised, pushing the boar slightly back. However, it couldn't contain it for long as the boar charged through it, a slight wound appearing on its body.
