Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 28: White Fruit

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Dumgrith laughed madly and then shouted, "That makes sense!"

His voice was literally piercing through everyone inside the room. Just like the madman he was, he made everyone hear it.

Still, there was one question that remained in Dumgrith's mind. A question that he was really curious about and would even risk struggling to find the answer.

"What about... that dungeon... How did you open the dungeon? I didn't know there was a way to open secret dungeons, they open when they want to, you would have to be a god to think of being there at that time." Dumgrith asked.

"Everyone has secrets, professor, and I don't want to reveal mine, it wouldn't be free," Atlas said as an egotistical smile grew on his face.

He had to take a big gamble right now. He was the only person in the world who knew how to open secret dungeons at this time, and he had to take this gamble even if he was one of the most powerful wizards in the world.

If he could win a favour from Dumgrith and even win an item from him, it would be perfect. He was not the same person he used to be. He used to only want to do favours for others, but now he chooses to be with his greed.

Dumgrith smiled after these words and then said, "Clever boy." Then he turned to one of the elves in the room and added, "Bring that item."

The servant elf who had been given the order was surprised by these words. He kept looking at Atlas on the one hand and Dumgrith on the other.

"Yes, sir..." said the servant elf and immediately left the room.

Atlas could see what kind of item he was about to receive. In short, it was probably something he didn't deserve. In other words, it was something he did not deserve in the eyes of other elves. That was probably the reason why the servant elf was surprised.

After a short while, many plates of food arrived at the table around which they were sitting and the group began to eat.

Dumgrith and Atlas were constantly talking amongst themselves, and occasionally someone from the student committee group would join the conversation.

After almost an hour, however, mealtime was over and the door to the room the group was in opened once more.

The servant elf slowly walked up to his master Dumgrith and handed him a box that appeared to be made of gold.

Dumgrith turned the box towards the group and especially towards Atlas and then lifted the lid.

The group members were as surprised as Atlas. Inside the box was one of the fruits of the world tree. On top of that, this fruit was not a normal fruit, but a white-coloured fruit.

The fruits of the world tree had four different colours. The red one increased one's susceptibility to the elements, the blue one increased one's potential for magic, the black one was known as the favourite fruit of gods and goddesses, and the white one was known as one of the limited number of items in the world that could increase one's aura potential.

Inside the huge box Dumgrith was holding was a vibrant white fruit that looked as if it had just been picked from the huge branches of the world tree.

The members of the student committee looked at each other, and although this item was very valuable, no one knew why Dumgrith would give such a gift to a wizard.

"So even you know sir? Did Professor Abraham tell you about it?" Atlas suddenly questioned.

Dumgrith's smile widened as he said, "Anyone who is even slightly familiar with magic can tell if someone else is using aura, which is the opposite of magic. You may be the only person to use both powers together since the creation of the world, son."

Even though these words surprised every single person in the room, none of them knew what to say. Atlas gently reached into the box and then took the almost sixty-centimetre white fruit from the box.

"I'll tell you the secret when I've absorbed the fruit, sir. Excuse me," Atlas said suddenly and without waiting, he began to eat the fruit.

After eating the snow-white fruit of the world tree very quickly, he sat on the soft carpet on the floor and then closed his eyes and started to meditate.

He was very clearly aware of the incredible sensation of the snow-white fruit. His body felt incredibly fresh. So spacious that unlike magic, Atlas could feel the heart rate of each person in the room, the spell levels, and even the air blowing outside the huge mansion.

This was aura, and it was evolving at an incredibly great speed.

An enormous amount of aura energy was dispersed throughout his body. Every second he sat, every muscle cell in his body was moving. Atlas was trembling like a snake shedding its skin, but this trembling was due to the movement of his muscles.

Even though he couldn't see it, black substances started to emerge from the skin around his body again. But this time something different was happening as he increased his magical potential.

Atlas's skin was glowing, becoming firmer, softer and more beautiful. His hair grew longer and began to have silky grains of hair. In short, he was going through a body transformation and becoming even more handsome.

This was the first part of the aura. Atlas had already become a first-grade aura warrior.

It was incredible. Atlas could feel the power swirling through his body. His muscles were twitching and vibrating faster and faster every second, the muscle fibres becoming tighter and stronger. Even his bones were becoming much more solid, and his veins themselves were becoming tighter.

All of this had happened before he had even started cultivating the Diamond Body skill.

He was very, very lucky. His greed had given him the opportunity of a lifetime.
