Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 131 Disappointment

Vale frowned as he felt that this person tall guy with black hair similar to him was incredibly dangerous…

Seeing a fellow black-haired guy made Vale interested at first but as soon as he saw Leonoreʼs condition, he can only feel disdain for the guy.

Six students around 20 years old are ganging up on a barely 14 years old girl!

Vale couldnʼt help but look at them with disappointment…

”Seniors, are you harming my classmate?” Vale asked the seventh-year students but he was looking at Leonore.

She was frozen on her spot perhaps unable to comprehend why a handsome young man like him appeared in such a great time to rescue her…

Vale sighed as he erased his random thoughts. It seems that Leonore was slapped so hard she turned into a mute.

”She joined our Club and itʼs normal for us to do this… You donʼt have to bother us… You can leave now while Iʼm still being polite.” The black-haired senior said as he threatened Vale.

His voice was a bit hoarse as if he was trying to sound more intimidating. He didnʼt cast any Dark Spell but it appears that he can do so at a momentʼs notice.

On the other hand, Vale had a sudden realization about all this fuss…

ʼIs this some sort of hazing I heard about?ʼ Vale muttered inwardly as he recalled his past life. Although he didnʼt experience such things since he canʼt even be invited to join clubs or fraternities since he always has to work in his free time, he still heard plenty of stories about this sort of thing.

There were even some unfortunate people who died during this type of hazing… according to some news he heard at the very least.

Anyway, he canʼt understand why these people would actually agree to get hurt or experience pain just to be accepted in their fraternity or whatever club it was.

They said that it was to establish brotherhood but he believes that it was just all stupidity.

”Leonore, you have to speak up so I know what Iʼll do.” Vale ignored the man and spoke to Leonore once more.

If she wanted to leave or if the senior is not telling the truth, he wanted to at least hear it from Leonore first.

To make sure, he also swiftly cast a Spell Dispersion around her so that any control-type spell used on her would be removed at this instant.

As much as he wanted to help her, Leonore must also want to be helped or it will just be him being labeled as too nosy.

Priscilla understood this as well so she simply shut her mouth and observed the situation…

From her point of view, she can tell that Leonore was hesitating.

She had mixed emotions and embarrassment seem to be the one on top of it. It wasnʼt that surprising since her classmate saw her in such a shameful position.

”Hey, Leonore… Answer quickly so these guys can leave.” The black-haired guy, who seemed to be the leader of the group, grunted as he ordered Leonore.

”Right, it seems that this guy had also broken my Solemn Field Spell. I want to know how he did that… We canʼt make him leave just yet…”

Another 7th-year student with a plump face added as he looked at Vale and then at Priscilla who was standing behind the former.

”Tsk… You can handle it later. Who told you to set up a weak Field Spell…” The leader said as he wanted to quickly finish this matter.

”Alright… alright… Iʼll look for him later…” The plump student said as he shook his head in disappointment. 

In the meantime, Leonore finally decided on what to do…

”Thank you for coming here, Vale… This person here is the Vice-President of the Fortune Telling Club, Hector Gabb, and is one of the Dark Seers of the Academy. Iʼm fine. You can leave now…” As she said this, she wasnʼt looking at Vale but looking at the ground.

She doesnʼt want to explain more about what was happening but it was enough for Vale.

Vale couldnʼt help but crease his brows for a moment as he now understands why Leonore had such a complicated look…

She had wanted to learn the Dark Seer Spell so much that she would rather get humiliated and hurt than pass up the chance.

Obviously, Leonore has probably researched a lot and realized that the only way of learning the Dark Seer Spell is to be part of the Fortune Telling Club.

Perhaps, not even some contribution points would allow her to learn this rare Dark Spell.

ʼI thought that this club is just a simple assembly that gathers divination enthusiasts… As expected of the Dark Arts Academy, anything can be unpredictable.ʼ

Vale sighed as he realized that Leonore was telling the truth…

He used his Spell Dispersion spell and so he knows that Leonore is not affected by any type of Dark Spell right now.

At this point, he can only give up…

”Very well…” Vale didnʼt say anything more as he held Priscillaʼs hands and turned away. He didnʼt expect that Leonore would be such a decisive girl even at such a young age.

Leonore looked at the receding figures as she bit her lips… There are many things in her mind right now but she just canʼt give up the opportunity of learning that Dark Spell.

Her position in the Roland Family is also complicated…

ʼThank you for coming here…ʼ Leonore muttered inwardly as she closed her eyes and waited for this ”ceremony” to be over.

”What happened?” Philip asked as he met his sister and Vale going out of the garden.

He was already with the Elder from the Ceremony Hall so Vale can only explain everything that had happened.

The Elder didnʼt seem surprised about this situation but he still decided to act.

”Although the Club Activities are rarely monitored, these types of activities that involve possible injuries must still be supervised by the advisers of the Club. I can still take a look.” The Elder who seemed to be in his forties and wearing a gambler hat spoke in a gentle tone as he looked in the direction where Leonore and the others were.
