Chapter 323: Hidden Strength

It seems like I have to speed up my training and make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Audrey suddenly changed the direction of her footsteps and walked in the direction of the Magic Academy. Walking on that remote and quiet path, she could feel the old aura of the Magic Academy.

Pushing open the antique door, Audrey saw Teacher Claude sitting in the courtyard, flipping through the book in his hand by the light of a candle.

“Teacher Claude.” Audrey walked forward.

Ever since she had joined the Templar Knights, she had more things to do. She seldom came to the Magic Academy these days. She wondered if Teacher Claude had made any new discoveries.

“Audrey, you’re here. Sit down.” Teacher Claude smiled happily and let Audrey sit on the stone chair at the side. Then, he got up and went to the bookshelf in the yard and took out an old book.

Audrey had not really flipped through that book yet.

“Quick, look here. I’ve studied it for a long time and finally have some progress.” Teacher Claude quickly flipped to a page with notes and pointed it out to Audrey. “The meditation that is mentioned here is the mental cultivation method. Only when the Qi is concentrated in the Dantian can one unleash the greatest magic power.”

Listening to Teacher Claude’s explanation, Audrey suddenly came to a realization.

“Let me try.” A hint of joy flashed across her eyes. She stood excitedly and quickly formed an energy ball in her palm, as described in the book.

Audrey could clearly feel that the energy ball was extremely strong and pure. It had absorbed all the natural elements in the surroundings.

“It’s not bad.” She retracted her hand and said with a smile, “Teacher Claude, you really have the spirit to study. With a teacher like you in the Magic Academy, it will definitely flourish in the future.”

Hearing this, Claude sighed softly. He no longer hoped that he would be able to bring the Magic Academy back to everyone. He only hoped that he could leave some useful things for future generations.

“The future of the Magic Academy will all depend on you.”

“I know.” Audrey nodded. From the moment she was reborn into this world, it meant that there must be magic in this world, and it was very powerful magic.

It was more suitable to practice magic here than combat aura.

The two talked for a long time before Teacher Claude went to rest. Audrey read all the books that had fallen during the sunset, and she benefited greatly from it.

The sky was about to break, and Audrey quietly left the Magic Academy and walked toward the dormitory.

Along the way, Audrey heard some sounds near the Combat Aura Academy.

“Ha! Damn fatty, you’re still staying in the Combat Aura Academy just like that.”

“Beat him up.”

Audrey frowned slightly. Was this bullying from the academy?

Perhaps it was because she thought of Parker, Audrey paused for a moment before walking over. From afar, she saw three to five people. The person who was surrounded in the middle was Parker.

Audrey’s expression sank. Some people from the combat aura academy were really too much, picking on Parker to bully.

The people surrounding Parker had already started punching and kicking him. There were even people who used combat aura directly. Audrey could not help but break out in a cold sweat for Parker.

Seeing a surge of combat aura emerging from one of the people, Audrey was just about to attack when she suddenly saw Parker release a surge of combat aura. The faces of the people around him changed as they looked at Parker with fear in their eyes.

A moment later, those people fled in a panic.

Seeing this scene, Audrey’s heart sank. The corners of her mouth curled into a gratified smile. It seemed like Parker had really changed a lot. At the very least, he could protect himself.

Audrey smiled and went forward, intending to encourage Parker.

At this moment, Parker, who was not far away, turned around. The moment he saw Audrey, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes. Then, he lowered his head, seemingly returning to his cowardly appearance.

Audrey frowned slightly. Why was the Parker in front of her completely different from before?

“Parker, are you alright?” Audrey stepped forward and asked softly.

Parker nodded carefully and said, “Yes, I’m fine. Thank you. When did you come over?”

“I just arrived,” Audrey answered. She did not mention that she had seen someone bullying Parker. Instead, she deliberately asked, “Has anyone bullied you recently?”

Hearing this, Parker lowered his head with a desolate look. He said in a low voice, “It’s all my fault that I’m too weak. That’s why I was bullied. I was too incompetent.”

Too weak?

Audrey was stunned for a moment. However, the battle spirit that Parker had displayed was clearly not weak. He was at least a level seven or eight battle spirit cultivator. It was more than enough to deal with those who bullied him.

Could it be that he was pretending to be weak?

“It’s alright. Train hard. You will definitely become stronger.” A complicated look flashed across Audrey’s eyes as she absent-mindedly comforted him.

Parker nodded and raised his head to look at Audrey. His pair of dark brown eyes seemed to have been covered in dust for many years. They were exceptionally dim. Only when he raised his head did they glow slightly.

“Can you teach me how to cultivate?” Parker asked in a sincere tone.

“I…” Audrey was stunned as she thought of a reason to reject him. Although she did not dislike Parker, she had too many secrets and responsibilities on her, so she could not get along with Parker often.

“I know that you’re very strong, and I feel that your cultivation is different from others. That’s why I want to learn from you,” Parker said again.

As for the difference in what he said, Audrey also knew that it was because she cultivated both combat aura and magic.

If Parker really did not have many talents in combat aura, perhaps he would have talent in magic. However, Audrey did not dare to take the risk and tell others about magic.

“Parker, I can’t teach you now. You should train hard in the academy and talk about it in the future,” Audrey said with a sigh.
