Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Zara looked at Vale in shock as she couldn't help but wonder how many Spell Models does he have right now.

She heard from Professor Stella that Vale has Ghost Hands, Darkness Manipulation, Light Absorption, and a defensive spell that she wasn't sure of. Then, Vale showed the Moonlight Curse a while ago.

After that, Vale started using Telepathy!

For a second-year student, that's already quite a lot of Spell Models considering their Spirit Strands shouldn't be able to handle so many Spell at this age.

'This young man is really special… No wonder Professor Gale has been interested in him… I thought she was exaggerating, but it must be true. Ugh… Did they do it already? If it's Professor Gale, I don't think that even Vale could resist her.' Zara immediately shook her head as she reached this thought.

"Ahem… I'm surprised that you can use Telepathy. You've hidden yourself really well. Alright, let me discuss it with the others." Zara said as she talked to Mark and Cyrus.

Vale didn't have to wait long as she heard Zara's reply almost immediately.

"They agreed to it. We can discuss the corpses later once you've won. It's good that Professor Cyrus and Mark already have a collection they're ready to show you."

Vale felt satisfied with this reply as he returned to his position.

"V-Vale, are you alright with that?" Lisa suddenly asked worriedly.

In her opinion, Vale acted with the rules. Although his Spell affected the audience, it shouldn't be his fault that the stage had a weaker protective measure.

"I'm fine, Lisa… It's also a good opportunity for me to test my Spells." Vale replied.

Chad, Aubrey, and his other classmates were also worried for him.

They had already heard a few students in other classes talking about how excited they were to fight Vale.

They even heard that Leo Blaze would want to volunteer.

"Oh? He didn't get scared even after showing off my Moonlight Curse?" Vale asked curiously. Although he thinks that Leo had decent skills, it was just enough for the usual standard of Second-Year Students.

He didn't seem that impressive at all, aside from his thick face for winking at Lisa while in front of many.

"Yes… I think someone said you can't use the same Spell again after 12 hours or so. Ahem… Is that true?" Chad asked in a soft voice.

However, Aubrey smacked the back of his head this time as she scolded him. "You can't ask something that private! Furthermore, the others are listening… What if Vale can use it again? Wouldn't it be better if they get surprised?" Aubrey explained while shaking her head.

Chad apologized at this while Vale and Lisa just laughed it off.

In the meantime, Maya was observing Vale and realized that he wasn't nervous at all. It even seems that he was looking forward to the duel when he went off the stage just now.

'Is he that confident?' Maya frowned as she silently observed Vale.

Even though she learned top-tier Dark Spells from her family, she wasn't that confident in winning every battle, especially if her set of Dark Spells had been exposed.

Since Vale had been famous during his first year, his set of Dark Spells had already spread throughout their batch. Everyone here was basically aware of his Dark Spells by now, so it shouldn't be impossible to defeat him in a duel.

'Unless he hadn't shown all of his Spells yet.' Maya silently thought as she glanced at her classmates, who were eager to have a duel with Vale.

Vale's prominence in his first year had different implications for every student.

Some of them started taking Ghost Hands as their support-type Dark Spell, while others started avoiding it to find something that could defeat it in a battle.

Most of her classmates were in the latter part as they all watched Vale's battle against the Slender Zombie. They all believed that Vale consumed the Earth Eclipse Potion at that time, so he was able to overpower the Zombie with his brute force.

Now that the same potion was no longer being sold to the Exchange Hall, they believed that they had a better chance of overpowering Vale in a duel.

'They'll probably be in shock… I don't even want to fight him.' Maya thought to herself as she recalled Vale's unnatural physique. Vale's physique was just too unfair.

Even her Master wanted to obtain his special special physique, so it wasn't surprising.

She looked at Professor Stella, who was looking at her with a gentle smile.

'No… I'm not interested in fighting him! Find someone else!' Maya wanted to scream at her, but she couldn't use Telepathy. She could only shake her head at the professor, showing her refusal.

In any case, the examination continued as Class 1 hadn't been called yet.

This time, Professor Stella called Philip Hoffman to go on the stage first.

Philip was viewed as a cool and handsome student, so several girls started cheering for him as soon as he got up the stage.

His Darkness Manipulation Spell allowed him to create a spinning sphere of Darkness before he expanded it to create a spinning barrier around himself.

This performance was impressive, so even Vale couldn't help but nod in approval. He would consider using this technique if he needed a defensive move someday.

As for Philip's second Spell, he actually used something that wasn't visually appealing. It was the Severe Ailment Spell!

The Severe Ailment Spell was a type of Curse Spell that targets a person's or animal's immune system.

Naturally, it didn't have any visual effects, so most of the students didn't like it.

However, the Professors, including Vale, noticed that Philip's Curse Spell had already reached the Intermediate Realm. Furthermore, Philip was able to control the Spell to hit the dummy stealthily.

No one had noticed that he had used the Spell until the dummy showed signs of being infected by the curse.

'No wonder he chose to use this Spell…' Vale thought to himself as he looked at Philip going down the stage.

"Priscilla Hoffman!" Professor Stella called out as the next student came up.

Priscilla performed her spells with joy and enthusiasm but lacked precision and timing. Her Darkness Manipulation seemed to be in its early stage of the Elementary Realm, including the Blind Curse she used as the second Spell.

Vale looked at her curiously as he couldn't help but ponder…

'Aubrey and Priscilla seem to have similar concerns, they're purposely holding back.'
