Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel

Chapter 363 New Academic Year

Vale didn't even have the time to be shocked at the massive increase in his Energy Points as he was stunned to see that his Incorruptible Body had already reached Level 9! This equals the peak stage of the Advanced Realm!

Just one more Level and it will reach the legendary Perfect Realm!

According to the lessons he had, no one had ever reached that realm in their Spells! Even if there was, there were no records of it whatsoever.

"How did this happen?" Vale muttered to himself as he tried recalling what happened in the Dark Soul Tower.

He could recall his excessive release of Dark Aura at that time, which was triggered by his Incorruptible Body.

In the end, he could only think that it was related to how he entered the strange room and was contacted by the mysterious entity. Perhaps it was the tower itself that helped him level it up.

'I guess I saved a lot of energy points for this, huh…' Vale thought as the cost of upgrading the Incorruptible Body from Level 8 to Level 9 would be 7,680 points! That would be too huge!

'I wish it was the Spell Dispersion that was upgraded instead…' Vale mused as the Spell Dispersion was his most expensive Spell right now since it has the base price of 50 Energy Points!

Furthermore, it can be a very useful offensive and defensive Spell.

On the other hand, the Incorruptible Body wasn't some sort of offensive Spell, so it was a bit of pity, but nonetheless, Vale was still happy with this discovery.

"Now… What should I do with these energy points? It's almost nine thousand…" Vale muttered as he turned his attention to his Energy Points.

To be honest, he really liked to level up his Divine Sense. After all, it was frustrating to him when he was unable to 'inspect' Sherman.

He believes that a stronger Divine Sense would do the work for that.

However, he was a bit hesitant to spend his hard-earned points on a Support-Type Spell!

Currently, his Celestial Arts were the most reliable offensive spells. However, he couldn't even use them, unless he was hiding his identity.

'Should I just push my Ghost Hands to the limit?' Vale thought to himself.

This basic Spell that he got had been really useful. He was also known in the Academy for using this Spell. Unfortunately, it is still a Support-Type Spell that was only strong because it was high Level.

Ultimately, this Spell would also become useless if he met another Dark Spellcaster with high-level Spectral Hands or Spirit Hands.

It took him some time to decide what to level up first. In the end, he recalled one of the spells he would certainly get in the future. It was the Shadow Marionnette Spell. It was the fourth Academy-Exclusive Spell that was not required to be learned by students, but he certainly would.

According to what he learned, if he wanted to record the Shadow Marionnette, he would have a higher chance of success if the three other Academy-Exclusive Spells were actually in the Advance Realm!

With this idea, Vale leveled up his Light Absorption to Level 7, spending 576 Energy Points.

He didn't stop here, he also upgraded his Spirit Vision from Level 4 to 6 and Beast Shapeshift Spells from Level 4 to Level 7.

That was 96 Energy Points and 336 Energy Points, respectively.

Realizing that his Energy Points had barely decreased, Vale closed his eyes and increased his Divine Lightning and Shadow Mutilation to Level 7!

That was 560 and 256 Divinity Points!

In the end, he spent a total of 1,824 in today's upgrading session! That was 1008 Energy Points and 816 Divinity Points

As for the remaining points, he wanted to keep them for now and upgrade his Spells depending on his situation.

If he needed to cure people, he could just increase his Blessed Healing Spell's Level. Or if he needed a better disguise, he would just increase his Transformation Spell's Levels.

Furthermore, he might find a chance to use his Grimoire and summon some items or spirits someday. He knew that he would need a lot of points for that, especially if he would disguise himself as a Summoner in the future.

He believed that it was better to have extra points than insufficient points.

He then checked his Energy Points and confirmed that he still had plenty.

[ Available Energy: 7,982] [ Divinity Points: 1982.3 ]

Soon, Vale fell asleep due to tiredness while his Broken Immortal Item and Ancient Book were beside him.

Weeks passed, and the academic year began anew.

The campus buzzed with anticipation as students reunited after the summer break.

During this time, Vale was feeling tired. The past few days had been exhausting for him as, for some reason, he still kept dreaming of Professor Evans, although the Headmaster confirmed that she wasn't doing it anymore.

Headmaster Jean personally investigated this matter, and in the end, he was told that he might just be suffering from a trauma she brought to him.

He then suggested Vale take therapy, but in the end, Vale refused it because he didn't want his body to be closely investigated by another Arcanist. He had too many secrets on him.

Because of that, he approached the start of the semester with a mix of trepidation and determination.

He would resolve this problem on his own!

Luckily, as he settled into his classes, Vale found solace in the support of his friends.

In the meantime, in the cafeteria of the Main Building of the Academy…

A young red-haired female student smiled at the sight of a familiar senior, Vale Chambers.

As the new academic year began, Celina Vermont, a determined second-year student, couldn't shake off her desire to have Vale Chambers as her Personal Shadow Knight. Despite her previous unsuccessful attempts, she was determined to find a way to make Vale agree to her request.

With her mind set on her goal, Celina hatched a plan.

It was a plan she had considered over the past few months. She even consulted several experts in her family about this.

Now, she was ready...

'Vale… You'll be mine…'
