Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 410 Unfathomable Rich Kid?

Headmaster Jean narrowed his eyes, a mix of anger and disbelief etching across his face.

It wasnʼt just the tenth-year student who felt disrespected by the plans of the Organizers of this event. In the previous competitions they attended, they never had to go through such an inspection.

”Old Fletcher… An inspection to check for disease? You must have gone senile…” Jean retorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He also signaled for his students to calm down and let him handle the situation.

The old man chuckled, his amusement evident. ”Hahaha! It was an order from the top! The Association asked us to see if we can purify you all if you are carrying a disease. As you know, your students will be meeting the students from the other 11 academies. Furthermore, the third princess will be participating in the Competition… So, as you might have expected, this Competition will be a lot different from the previous ones because many royalties will be attending this event. We want to ensure their safety.” Old Fletcher explained.

Upon hearing this, the Headmaster and students realized that the old man might be speaking the truth and wasnʼt intentionally making things difficult for them.

After all, if the royalties are really involved, then it would be a different matter.

Nevertheless, it doesnʼt mean that it would feel better to them.

”Before you proceed to your rooms to drop off your luggage, allow us to perform a simple Inspection Spell to check your bodies…” Fletcher said, glancing at the students behind Headmaster Jean before revealing a creepy smile.

The students exchanged glances, as they couldnʼt hide the frustration on their faces.

Headmaster Jean reluctantly agreed to the inspection, realizing that resistance would only lead to further complications. However, he made it abundantly clear to the members of the Untainted Sentinels that they were strictly limited to using Inspection Spells and nothing beyond that.

After some time, Headmaster Jean sighed.

”Very well… You can inspect them. However, you have to ensure that youʼll only use a Spell to detect whether they have a contagious disease or not… I will be watching you. If I see you doing something that could harm my students, I wonʼt care whether youʼre following someone elseʼs orders. You will be the one to pay the price.” Headmaster Jean responded, his voice laced with authority.

The members of the Untainted Sentinels nodded in apparent compliance, masking their true intentions.

”Ahem… Of course. You can watch us. We arenʼt here to cause trouble. In any case, weʼre confident that the students in the Holy Arts Academy wouldnʼt need our help to defeat your students in the Competition. Keke…” Fletcher said with a laugh.

After they assured the Headmaster that they would adhere to his request and utilize the designated Inspection Spells, they immediately prepared their spells.

They seem like they are doing nothing wrong. However, behind their facade of compliance, they harbored ulterior motives.

Alongside the Inspection Spells, they planned to covertly utilize their Divine Sense and Arcane Appraisal abilities within the confined range.

Their aim was simple: it was to gather valuable information on the students, believing that they could do so without being detected by the Headmaster or anyone here…

By obtaining this information, they could provide the Holy Arts Academy with a significant advantage in understanding their competitors in the upcoming Competition.

It was a calculated move, accomplishing the inspection mandated by the royals while simultaneously gaining tactical insight.

ʼKekeke…ʼ Old Fletcher couldnʼt help but chuckle as they started activating their Spells.

Whom~

As the members of the Untainted Sentinels spread out their Divine Sense and Arcane Appraisal, they began meticulously assessing the strengths and capabilities of the students. Their spells allowed them to delve into the essence of each studentʼs magical aptitude, discerning their inherent abilities and potential. They carefully observed and noted their findings within their minds. They were looking for exceptional talents or unique attributes that the students may have.

After all, they couldnʼt be complacent. The students of the Holy Arts Academy were expected to defeat the Dark Arts Academy, so they could not mess this up. They had to ensure that the Dark Arts Academy didnʼt have anything that could threaten them.

”Mhmm?”

However, amidst their thorough evaluations, an unexpected anomaly emerged.

One particular student, a young male, appeared to be impervious to their spells. Despite their powerful Divine Sense and Arcane Appraisal, this particular student remained elusive, undetectable to their probing abilities.

ʼDid I get weaker? Impossible… Iʼm only inspecting a kid. Is it a Mystical Artifact? But only Sovereign Rank can stop my ability. Thereʼs no way heʼs carrying that.ʼ

Old Fletcher and the other Sentinels exchanged perplexed glances, a sense of intrigue and curiosity mingling with their confusion.

Just by exchanging glances, they could tell that they were also troubled to sense the limit of this young man. However, if they use the Spell to confirm whether he has a contagious disease or not, it actually works really well!

The Disease Inspection Spell tell them that he wasnʼt carrying any form of disease!

It was a rare occurrence to encounter an individual who could resist their powerful Arcane Appraisal Spell. Furthermore, three of them could use the Divine Sense, but they all had the same result.

Questions swirled in their minds, fueling their determination to uncover the truth behind this enigma.

The five Untainted Sentinels discussed their plans using their telepathy as they acted as if they were still using their Disease Inspection Spell.

What made this student different? How did he shield himself from our scrutiny?

These were the questions in their minds.

However, they couldnʼt discuss for too long.

”Is it still not done? You guys have gotten really weaker… I guess that incident about your Sentinels wasnʼt without reason.” Headmaster Jean suddenly said as he reminded them of the incident where several Sentinels died in their operation.

”Thatʼs enough, Headmaster Jean. Those Sentinels have died because of the rogue practitioners of your Darkness Path. Hmph… Weʼre done inspecting them.” Fletcher said as he paused for a moment.

He then shifted his glance to one of the students before he continued.

”However, that young kid with black hair must step forward.”
