Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 132 Insufficient

”He seemed like a responsible guy… Who is he?” Vale asked curiously as the Elder left in the direction they came from.

”Heʼs Elder Richey. One of the Elders in the Ceremony Hall… Heʼs ]a good friend of our family. I call him uncle when weʼre alone. But… Vale, are you going to keep holding my sisterʼs hand? Although sheʼs not telling you off, it doesnʼt mean you should keep doing that…”

Philip asked while looking at Vale and Priscillaʼs hands. They were tightly holding each otherʼs hand and he canʼt help but feel uncomfortable about it.

Valeʼs eyes widened as he realized what he was doing and quickly removed his hands from her and apologized…

”Iʼm sorry about that. It probably felt more comfortable than the cold bodies Iʼm used to—No, I mean… Ugh, Nothing… Iʼm not going to explain anymore.” Vale sighed at himself as he realized that talking more would just make the matter worse.

In the meantime, Priscilla couldnʼt help but chuckle at Valeʼs panic reaction.

”So Headmaster Jean was right…” Philip muttered while gently nodding his head.

Once more, Vale decided not to ask what he heard from the Headmaster. He had enough of this so he just shifted the topic.

”Ahem… Letʼs return to our dormitory… I think that the Elder can handle this matter. Itʼs no longer related to us.”.

Philip didnʼt mind this suggestion as he looked in the direction of the garden once more before agreeing to Vale...

”Right… Our last subject will end at one oʼclock tomorrow. How about you?”

”Itʼs the same…” Vale answered as they started walking back.

”Good… Weʼll clean the Archive Room at around 1:30 so you have to finish your lunch quickly.”

Vale nodded since ʼcleaningʼ the Archive Room also means ʼwatchingʼ the recordings so they have to be there at the same time.

They soon separated in the Seven Pillars Garden as Priscilla and Philip returned to the third and fourth rooms respectively.

After Vale entered his room, he realized that Harith and Zeno were out yet so he decided to just hide his pocketwatch in the middle of his stacked clothes.

He doesnʼt really have other place he could hide this thing.

He then took a quick shower before taking a nap.

He felt more refreshed this way.

After waking up, Vale recalled the corpse that he kept inside his shadow…

He stood up to check that his door was locked and his curtain was covering the window. He didnʼt want any more rumors attached to him so he has to ensure that no one watches him.

”Dark Spirit… Take the corpse out…” Vale instructed.

Since he canʼt really access the ”storage space” he has to communicate with the Dark Spirit first.

”Right, do you mind if I give you a name? Calling you a Dark Spirit seems inappropriate… Furthermore, can I see your face again? Ahem… Itʼs not like I want to see it and appreciate your beauty once more. I just need to be sure I didnʼt make a mistake… Ah, thatʼs right… You have some semblance to someone I know so I just want to check… No, Iʼm not making up reasons.” Vale explained himself even after the Dark Spirit expressed her doubt over his reason.

Whom~

The Dark Spirit suddenly came out of his shadow bringing the cold corpse with her.

Thud…

The cold corpse rested on the floor but Vale wasnʼt focused on it.

He was looking at the dark spirit that was still shrouded with dark mist so he canʼt see her face.

”Dark Spirit… Itʼs just the two of us. Can you not hide yourself when youʼre with me?” Vale asked.

The Dark Spirit didnʼt immediately reply as if it was hesitating whether to show itself or not.

After some hesitation, the Spirit agreed and Vale saw the dark mist slowly dissipating.

Gulp…

Vale couldnʼt help but feel excited as he gradually saw the heavenly appearance of the spirit… Her whole body was translucent but Vale can still see her face very clearly. Her long dark hair and her deep black eyes were so captivating as she was solemnly looking at him.

Vale canʼt believe that such a beautiful being has infamy because of their aggressive behavior and instincts to harm mankind. He canʼt believe it at all.

”Why would they call you a Dark Spirit? Arenʼt you supposed to be a Celestial Spirit or something similar?” Vale asked as he waited for the unique response of the Spirit.

However, contrary to his expectation, the Dark Spirit didnʼt simply reply by making him feel her intention or emotion but she suddenly started speaking!

”Dark Spirit is my race, Iʼm not a Celestial Spirit… I donʼt have a name so you can just call me whatever you want.”

The voice from the Celestial—No, from the Dark Spirit sounded so ethereal and Vale was unable to immediately react.

He wasnʼt even sure at first whether the voice came from the Spirit or not in those few seconds!

After a few moments of realization, Vale took a deep breath to collect his thoughts.

”Then, let me give you a name...” Vale can think of many female names if he wanted to but there are only a few names that he was greatly accustomed to. One of them is Alexa…

However, calling her Alexa might feel a bit weird.

Vale hesitated for a moment as he observes the spirit floating in front of him…

This spirit is indeed kind of translucent all over her body but around her feet, it had almost turned transparent… She was also completely naked and what was helping Vale from having some reaction was her really long hair that is covering some parts of her body.

”Lotus… Black Lotus--No, just Lotus… I will call you Lotus from now on, is that alright?” Vale asked after thinking for a moment.

”Lotus? Itʼs fine… Is it the name of your past lover?” Lotus, the Dark Spirit, asked without any hesitation.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Vale didnʼt expect such a question coming from her. He didnʼt think that this Dark Spirit had such a communication skill!

It appears that his knowledge of the Spirit World is greatly insufficient!
