Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 142 Sold

Lisa and the others kept Valeʼs secret and didnʼt reveal Lotusʼ ability to help with their Spell Recording.

First of all, Vale mentioned that this type of help canʼt be done repeatedly since Lotus doesnʼt have an infinite amount of energy and is already cut off from the Spirit World. He decided to exaggerate Lotusʼ condition so Lisa and the others wonʼt rely on her from now on.

Itʼs not like he was being stingy but he knows that he has to limit this type of assistance as well. Learning how to properly record a spell without the assistance of Dark Spirit is what should be done since experience is whatʼs really important in this type of thing.

After all, Vale wouldnʼt always be there for them.

***

On the 6th of June, Professor Russell Ravinie entered Class 2ʼs room with a serious face.

He looked at Vale for a moment before he spoke with a solemn voice.

”Vale Chambers will take the Class Advancement Exam for my class. However, the Headmaster requested it to be watched by him since this is the first time someone tried doing this after a long while. Follow me.” As he said this, Professor Ravinie couldnʼt hide his smirk.

He reported this matter with grievances to the Headmaster for this exact reason.

He mentioned how Vale was acting lazy in his class and disregarded his pieces of advice most of the time.

His efforts obviously bore fruit as the Headmaster would also watch Vale take the exam.

Even though Vale was smart, he would certainly feel nervous in front of the prestigious Headmaster… It means that he would have a higher chance of failure!

Professor Ravinie could no longer wait for what he would do to Vale once he failed and become his student assistant.

There was no way he would make it easy for Vale.

As expected, the whole class felt worried that Vale would fail the exam.

Taking a difficult test alone while guarded by the most prestigious person in the academy, would be nerve-wracking.

”Good luck, Vale.” Lisa whispered as Vale stood up to follow the Professor.

”Iʼm sure that you can do it. I envy you.” Aubrey said with a smile as she believes that Vale wouldnʼt take this exam without some confidence in his skills. Although the pressure will be immense while taking the exam, as long as Vale managed to compose himself, then it should be possible to pass this advancement exam.

Vale thanked his friends for their encouraging words.

Of course, he wasnʼt nervous or bothered by the fact that he has to take the exam with the Headmaster.

Perhaps, he would be nervous before but now that he had gotten closer to him. Vale felt more at ease taking the exam with the Headmaster. This would even allow him to ensure that there wouldnʼt be any tricks in the exam itself.

”Headmaster, this is Vale Chambers that I mentioned a while ago. He will be taking the exam under your watch as youʼve requested while Iʼll be lecturing at Class 2.” Professor Ravinie said after entering the Headmasterʼs office.

Headmaster Jean is currently seated behind his desk and reading a few papers.

He looked at the newly arrived people and showed a faint smile.

”I understand. How long will he take the exam?” The Headmaster asked.

”The time limit is two hours, Headmaster. I already spoke with Professor Charlotte about the time heʼll take.”

Since the Arithmetic Class is only one hour, Vale had to get permission to skip the next class to take the exam.

Luckily, Professor Ravinie already worked on this matter and Vale only has to think about the exam.

Vale soon found the prepared desk for him to take the exam. There was a stack of papers on it filled with arithmetic problems.

After the Professor left some instructions to Vale, he left the Headmasterʼs office to return to the class.

At this time, Headmaster Jean was looking at Vale with interest.

Vale didnʼt mind it and just focused on writing on the test paper… Since the exam is only for a Grade 7 or probably Grade 8 student, Vale felt confident since even if he hasnʼt studied math for a long time, he can still easily recall the formulas and equations that he had studied for many years.

Seeing that Vale was busy on his test and didnʼt seem to be unbothered, the Headmaster decided to speak instead.

”You look confident. Youʼre not hesitating in what youʼre writing.” Headmaster Jean commented.

”Well… This is not that difficult so I wanted to skip this class and spend my time on something more valuable.” Vale replied while still writing.

”More valuable? Are you planning to look for more corpses?”

”Ughh… Not really but thatʼs also possible. Do you have a suggestion, Headmaster?” Vale asked as he flipped his paper. He already finished answering one side first paper.

There were 6 pages more.

”Well, if you use the favor I gave you… I can bring you to a very good place… Itʼs my basement. I have a collection there that I want you to see as a fellow enthusiast.”

Gulp…

Vale felt a bit nervous after being invited to someoneʼs basement.

Of course, he can tell that there is a great opportunity there but he couldnʼt help but think that it could be very dangerous as well.

For now, he decided to switch the topic...

”I will think about it, Headmaster. Right, may I know what happened to his Spirit?” Vale asked.

He was referring to Wilfredʼs spirit.

”What do you think?” The Headmaster returned the question.

Vale felt helpless about this but he still guessed.

”Did you refine it to make a Mystical Item? Perhaps it was used to feed an Evil Creature? Oh, you can probably use it to put a soul on a puppet. I heard that the Dark Alchemy is trying to achieve a living puppet. I think Iʼve read about it in the Academyʼs paper, am I right?” Vale answered while still writing on his paper.

At this time, the Headmaster felt amused as he didnʼt expect that Vale would have so many ideas.

”Thatʼs possible indeed… You have grasped the Darkness Path really well… However, I didnʼt do any of those. I sold his spirit back to the Moontomb Family. I earned quite a lot so I gave you that corpse a while ago.”
