Chapter 125: Hidden Ability
Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
"Yes…"
Vale answered without any hesitation.
[ Extraction successful. Energy +30 Agility +0.75 Intelligence +1.05 ]
"As expected of the Headmaster… I extracted two attributes at the same time. They're also incredibly high." Vale muttered after the successful extraction.
He knows that his extraction with humans would get lower and lower the stronger he gets. This is the reason why he didn't exceed a hundred in his attributes yet.
However, this woman still has still given him a whole number signifying that she's out of his current level.
At the same time, that he did this, the Dark Spirit also stored the body inside his shadow after wrapping it with a dark energy.
Then Vale heard something from the Dark Spirit.
"Hmm? What did you say?" Vale asked after not understanding the Dark Spirit's thoughts.
Apparently, the Spirit just revealed that the Corpse's soul energy had somehow weakened and almost disappeared before the body was stored inside the shadow.
"Did it not happen because you moved it in my shadow?" Vale asked.
After hearing a negative response, Vale can only make a guess, his extraction somehow extracted the Soul Energy of the corpse…
'Is this the requirement for extracting corpses?'
This would also make sense since he's unable to extract a body multiple times. He can only do a single extraction of a corpse. This only means that he was extracting something out of the corpses and it appears that it's the soul energy of the corpses.
This also made him question whether he could extract Wilfred's body at that time. After all, Wilfred's soul was taken by the Headmaster. Would he be unable to extract the body because of it?
Vale was curious to find an answer.
Nevertheless, he immediately cleared everything as he folded the cadaver bag and placed it in the corner of the room.
As he opened the door to leave the room, he realized that Headmaster Jean and Maya Featherstar were walking together as they seem to heading back to the Headmaster's Office.
"Headmaster, Vale just came out of your room… He looks nervous as well." Maya halted her footsteps and reported it to the Headmaster as if he didn't see it happen.
Vale realized that Maya was somehow suspecting him of entering the Headmaster's office without permission!
Vale decided to ignore her since it was probably normal to react like that. Instead of talking to her to prove himself, he shifted his gaze to the Headmaster and spoke unhurriedly.
"Headmaster, I'm done with the task, I'll be returning to my room now." Vale calmly said as Maya, who was waiting for the Headmaster's response, realized that she was jumping to conclusions.
"Great… Train harder so you can deal with that Larkin." Headmaster Jean said.
"Yes, I will do so." As Vale said this, he didn't even bother looking at Maya as he continued on his way.
Maya Featherstar felt her face turning red in embarrassment as she quickly spoke before Vale gets too far.
"I apologize for that. I was just surprised. Recently, someone tried to enter from the window of my room so I'm a bit agitated right now." Maya explained herself.
No wonder she was talking to the Headmaster about this…
'Wait, is she supposed to talk with it to the headmaster immediately?' Vale mused since he doesn't really know the protocol about this.
Anyway, he doesn't have the time to fool around with her so he only nodded and left immediately.
This made Maya feel extremely baffled. She was always the one in control of the conversation and always felt superior. However, Vale's uncaring response to her felt extremely new to her.
Well, she can't really blame Vale right now, since his mind is currently recalling his dream…
'This is weird… Did I get involved with someone who can give me prophetic dreams or signs of the future?' Vale thought as he walked quickly.
He believed that the dream he had just now is a prophecy. Although it wasn't exactly accurate, it was still very similar.
The Headmaster invited him to his office to reward him with a female corpse and another student came to visit the Headmaster at his office.
Although the dream exaggerated things a little bit, it is still relatively the same.
'Dark Spirit are you the one who had given me that prophetic dream? Is it your mystical ability? You can give me some sort of revelations through dreams?' Vale asked continuously.
Aside from the Dark Spirit, he didn't get involved with some other people or mystical items that would give him such a gift...
If it's not the Dark Spirit, he can't think of anyone who can give him such a prophetic dream.
Unfortunately, the Dark Spirit didn't respond after asking about the dream. It didn't deny his claims but it didn't confirm it as well.
Vale was at a loss since he can't understand the Dark Spirit's intention for staying with him.
He only knows it wasn't thinking of harming him since he's somehow connected to the Spirit. If he was harmed, the Dark Spirit will also gravely suffer at this point.
Anyway, after this matter, Vale's monthly assessment continued.
Since they have already completed the assessment for the Elementary Spirit Law subject, they have two hours of free time to prepare for the next subject…
The Basic Usage of Mystical Artifacts!
This subject is probably one of the most important subjects during the first year since dealing with Mystical Items can be very dangerous for various reasons, especially if they were Mystical Items created by Dark Arts Practitioners.
Professor Harrison arrived on time as everyone nervously waited for the type of assessment they were about to take.
Luckily for them, they noticed that Professor Harrison didn't bring any materials whatsoever so she probably won't ask them to use a Mystical Artifact or even have them repair one.
Shirley Harrison looked at the students in her class and calmly spoke.
"For your assessment, it will be simple… I have a mirror here and will show you ten Mystical Artifacts. If you answered at least 8 of them correctly, you passed. It may sound simple but the tricky part is that Mennena would be the one showing the items to you."
