Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy



Vale had no idea how he would use these Spells at all. He wanted to test it out but it had to wait until later.

"Vale, are you alright?" Professor Lucius asked after seeing Vale unmoving.

He had already ordered the nearby Variants to take care of the unconscious prisoners. However, even after the Variants had finished their job, Vale remained motionless.

It was until Lucius called him out did he only react.

"Professor, I apologize… That technique was quite difficult to use. However, I now gained enough knowledge on how to use it. I appreciate your help, Professor." Vale replied with a stiff smile.

"Very well… The member of the Order has already left after seeing you use that strange ability of yours." Professor Lucius said as he looked at Vale with a complicated gaze.

It seems that he also wanted to ask Vale about the spell he used but he was hesitating to ask since he wanted to respect Vale's privacy.

Of course, since this Professor is kind and Vale might need his help in the future, he decided to reveal a little about his ability. In any case, once Master Heinz publicized his research to apply for a new branch of the Dark Arts, his skills would also be known by the public.

"Profesor Lucius… The skill I used a while ago had something to do with the new Spell that Professor Heinz had developed. It's called Spell Dispersion. Have you heard of it, Professor?" Vale said. He may not be able to tell people about his Extraction secret, but this other secret can be used to cover his system.

Lucius' eyes lit up after hearing Vale's words. As expected, Vale is such a sensible person that he doesn't have to ask him.

"Spell Dispersion… So it was like that. I think I've heard him mention this before. However, I just shrugged it off as I thought that its requirement was too much. It requires a Physique that only one in a million could have."

Professor Lucius paused at this moment and realized something.

"You're incredible… So does it mean it could mess with the wielder as well? Ahh… That makes sense. It probably requires a higher level of mastery to do that. Have you reached its Intermediate or even its Advanced Realm?"

As expected, Vale doesn't have to complete the lie. People would just assume a few things and complete them for him.

Vale didn't answer this question and simply nodded with a smile.

The Professor accepted this explanation as this could at least allow him to sleep well at night.

After promising that he'll record the Light Absorption Spell within a month to Professor Lucius, Vale finally returned to his dorm.

He took a quick shower to refresh himself before he recalled something and apologized to Yvaine.

Well, he has to apologize for not allowing her to replenish her energy from those six Holy Arts Practitioners. He had forgotten about it because he was too excited.

However, he promised her that he'd find her better sources of energy soon.

***

Three days had quickly passed, and the end of the year was getting closer.

There were fewer and fewer people staying in the Academy.

Of course, Vale also has plans to get permission to go out. However, it has to be after he at least learns how to use the spells he just learned adequately.

"Done… That took me quite some time."

Vale heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at his pocketwatch. About two hours had passed after he started to record the Light Absorption Spell.

He could've done this months ago, but he decided to delay the recording process since only three people in the class had recorded this spell. He wasn't in a hurry because of that and delayed it much as he could.

Vale then checked his Attribute Panel and was satisfied to see the Level Zero Light Absorption Spell included in his Dark Arts. 

He then attempted to increase its level and was happy to see that it only required 9 Energy Points to level it up. With his current 626 points, Vale didn't mind turning it to a Level Three or the peak of Elementary Realm.

After spending 63 points for this spell, Vale shifted his attention to his Incorruptible Body… He tried upgrading it to see how many points he was missing to upgrade it to Level 7.

[ Advancement Failed. You are missing 397 Points to complete the action. ] 

Vale didn't feel disappointed as it only made his decision firm about advancing the other Spells he learned.

With his remaining 563 points, he continued advancing his Neutral Ability called Extrasensory Perception Spell into Level 6.

As it turned out, this spell was similar to the one that the Headmaster used when the latter was communicating in his head. It can be used for Telepathy!

At that time, he obviously couldn't answer the Headmaster since he didn't know how. He would surely surprise the Headmaster if he tried talking in his head once again.

After a few days of research in the Library about the new spells he extracted from these people, this is simply one of the few things he discovered about the spells. He learned plenty of things and is looking forward to advancing this spell.

Luckily, this spell has a low-level energy requirement. Turning it into level 3 was only worth 20 points. Then, 40 points to level 4, 80 points to level 5, and 160 points to level 6.

It was a total of 280 points, and people might think it's weird to level up such a weak support type spell but Vale needed this ability as it gives him a higher chance of survival.

After all, the Extrasensory Perception spell isn't just for Telepathy.

He then checked his attribute panel with a satisfied smile on his face.
