Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 134 Mission

News about Valeʼs brave attempt to take the Class Advancement Exam one of the stressful subjects in the first year made him famous once more.

Perhaps, the column assigned for the first-year batch was always filled with his name.

Furthermore, itʼs to be expected that Vale would remain on the topic discussion until his result was out.

Chad, Lisa, and Aubrey didnʼt even care about their results in the Fundamentals of the Magic Zone including the Physical and Health Education.

Their result in these exams wonʼt really affect their final grade as they heard.

With that in mind, as long as they got an average score in the class, it would be enough for them.

After the class was over, Vale looked at Leonoreʼs desk as he hesitated whether to ask someone about her condition…

ʼNo… I should stop getting involved in such matters for now. I need to focus on the battle recordings…ʼ Vale thought as he went to eat his lunch with his friends before walking straight to his clubroom.

The others also went to their own clubs and busied themselves.

Only Lisa didnʼt go to the Library, or her clubʼs area, as she decided to attempt recording his Darkness Manipulation Spell once more.

”Youʼre finally here...” Philip said after seeing Vale enter the clubroom.

At this time, Vale also noticed Nadine, Clara, and Priscilla who seemed to be in the middle of a discussion.

”Iʼm pretty sure Iʼm not late...” Vale said as he knows the current time.

”Yes… We arrived first since our class ended 30 minutes early. Our professor is quite likable.” Philip replied with a smile.

It seems heʼs also excited to see some battle recordings that are worth being saved in the Archive.

”Alright, Vale. You can sit down for now. Clara is here to give a task to the three of you. Itʼs about the purchase of the Recording Crystal. As you know, we canʼt really make these things in our academy. We have to purchase it elsewhere outside the Academy. So our club is responsible for doing that and you, first years are assigned to do such menial tasks…”

Nadine explained as she gestured to Clara, who is the Treasurer of the club, to continue.

”Do we have to do it now?” Vale asked.

This time, it was Clara who answered.

”No… However, it will be on the 10th of June, Sunday since there will be a few students who will start challenging the Elite Ranking. In any case, you have to purchase 500 Recording Crystals and the budget has already been approved…” Clara paused for a moment as she looked at the other two.

”Iʼm just about to tell Philip and Priscilla that the place it can be purchased has been changed. As you know, the one handling the Recording Crystal production is a company under the Mystic Arts Faction. We are purchasing directly from them instead from the distributors. However, we recently received an offer from Alchemy Arts Faction to purchase from them at a discounted price. We need a good relationship with this faction so we agreed…”

”Ohh… Do we not have a good relationship with the Alchemists?” Vale asked curiously.

Clara shook her head at this and explained.

”Not really… Weʼre just starting a good one… However, the Alchemy Arts Faction has been at odds with the Mystic Arts Faction over the past few years due to some territorial dispute. They might be planning to slowly take all of their customers so theyʼre the ones who approached us... Well, itʼs not like weʼre no longer going to purchase from the Mystica Arts Faction. We will only lessen the amount since, no matter what, theyʼre still our partners.”

Vale nodded in understanding… It seems that the Dark Arts Faction isnʼt completely unlikable. Perhaps, they were only besieged by the other Arcane Path, not because of hatred but as a matter of profit.

”I understand… How do we complete this purchase?” Philip asked as he leaned closer to the table.

”Youʼll have to go outside the Academyʼs territory. The three of you will have permission to leave using our Academy Airship. The transaction will happen on the 10th and it will be in Charville Cityʼs Alchemy Branch… They have a business there called Retro Relics Antiques and youʼll be completing your transaction in that place.”

Clara then further explained that the visit to the city isnʼt just for their mission. Other professors and students will be joining them in the airship to complete various missions in Charville City.

They will be leaving the city around six in the morning and are expected to arrive at the city after three hours of journey. Then, they were expected to leave on the evening of the next day.

”Are we exempt in our class?” Philip asked.

Since theyʼll be returning on Monday evening, they will obviously miss the morning class.

Clara looked at him with a smile before shaking her head.

”No… There will be no classes on the 11th of June thatʼs why we chose this date.”

”What the occasion?” Priscilla asked.

”Hmm… Was it not taught in your history class?” Nadine asked.

This time, Valeʼs eyes lit up as he recalled the event that had happened on this specific date.

”Is it for the celebration of that event? The recapture of the Dark Sorcerer Tower?” Vale asked with interest.

Priscilla and Philip also recalled this topic in class. Well, they werenʼt really interested in the history of the Faction. Itʼs enough for them to know a bit about their origin. Theyʼre much more inclined to know about the present situation.

Nevertheless, they can still easily recall this matter after being reminded.

The recapture of the Dark Sorcerer Tower was actually a huge matter in the previous war. This happened after the great feat that the Gold Necromancer had done in the past.

”So itʼs a celebration for recalling that event… Recapturing the Dark Sorcerer Tower was led by Morgan Vermont, the one who established the Academy. I guess itʼs not that surprising, huh…” Philip muttered

”Thatʼs right… And one more thing… Professor Stella Harwin will join you guys since she also has business with the Alchemists. If you have concerns on that day, you can talk to her.”
