Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-140

This assessment was quite exciting for the students.

None of them felt nervous and as a matter of fact, they felt excited.

After all, they were hoping to get genuine feedback from the professor.

They wanted to know if their train of thought is wrong and if they should change their planned set of Dark Spells.

With the help of the old and experienced professor, they were hoping that their choice of spells would become perfect if there are flaws. In that way, they won't regret recording their spells.

It must be remembered that removing your recorded Spell Models is not only difficult but it can also be very dangerous. It may even end their life as an Arcane Arts Practitioner.

That's right, it's not impossible to remove their Spell Model but it would have to be done with extreme caution and someone at the level of a Paragon must help them complete the task. In short, it is almost impossible.

'Hmm?'

Vale can still feel Leonore's eyes on him. However, he decided to ignore it and focus on writing on his paper. He no longer wanted to be involved in her matter.

'I guess it's alright to write about my Spell Dispersion and Ghost Hand… I don't have to write about the Incorruptible Body since this is a special physique and not a spell…' Vale silently thought as he considers what to safely mention on his paper.

The Malefic Arts didn't just allow him to learn Spell Dispersion and Incorruptible Body, it also prepared him to learn forbidden practices without suffering from heavy backlash…

He learned this already from Master Heinz but he only appreciated it after reading the Forbidden Practices of the Unlighted.

'Ugh… Should I really write this?' Vale hesitated.

He wasn't sure if there would be other people who might read his paper so he was worried that his secrets would leak.

After a while, he decided to stand up and speak directly to Professor Morton.

His actions obviously caught everyone's attention but he didn't mind it. He knows that Professor Morton really wanted to help them but he wasn't sure if it's appropriate to write about spells that he didn't teach them!

Chad looked at Vale curiously before shifting his gaze to Aubrey and Lisa. The two seem clueless as well about Vale's actions.

Seeing that Vale and the Professor engaged in a silent conversation… They soon ignored him and continued with their paper.

In the meantime, Vale was surprised to know that Professor Morton actually knows his Master.

"Hmm? It's not that surprising… Sir Heinz is an excellent Dark Alchemist. Although he was unlike the eccentric Dark Alchemists that I've known, his skills are the real deal when it comes to potion-making. As for the other branch of the Dark Alchemy, I can't really say that much." Professor Morton replied as Vale continued to explain his matter.

"Then I guess my matter would be understandable. The set of spells that I have already has the blessing of Master Heinz… It includes some of his original Dark Spells so I'm quite unsure if it's appropriate to write in the test paper."

"Original Dark Spells? So he was really working on that new branch he wanted all these years, huh? I guess he succeeded now that I'm looking at you." Professor Morton commented as he finally realized why Vale has such a unique ability.

It's not normal for a first-year student to be able to kill another student at the same level and even dare to fight a sixth-year student.

However, since he was actually Heinz's student, Professor Morton could imagine that the stubborn Dark Alchemist had succeeded in his experimentations on this kid.

"You're correct, Professor." Vale answered with a smile.

"Alright… I already used my Magic Zone to isolate our surroundings. You can speak freely..." Professor Morton said.

Since the Professor is most likely a Master-Class Dark Magic Caster, his Magic Zone alone can already be used as field-type magic.

This is possible simply by having a strong Dark Energy gathered within his body. If he further used it with the Darkness Manipulation Spell, the radius of his isolation would become stronger and bigger.

Vale sighed in relief after confirming this as he mentioned to the professor his current set of spells, no matter what, this Academy would know of this matter sooner or later. He would be planning to study here for 10 years after all.

Even if he wanted to do a shortcut and take an Acceleration Exam that would still take quite a long time.

He has to build a better foundation of spells and he needs Professor Morton's opinion about this matter. If it's possible, he would also ask the Headmaster for a second opinion.

"So, Heinz wanted you to learn three Dark Spells and you already learned one of them which is the Spell Dispersion. Hmm… I've never heard of that spell indeed. So it's really an original spell… I guess the other two were spells I'm also unaware of."

"Yes, Professor… The other one is called the Malevolence Infection Spell and the third one is something he would mention after I learned this second spell."

"Ugh… I haven't heard of it as expected. So I may not give you proper advice about it. However, you should still think of getting one of the rare Dark Spells in our academy. I'm not sure how great those spells of yours are but I can guarantee that the academy has many rare Dark Spells you'd want to learn aside from the three required spells of the Academy."

"I understand, Professor… Then, I'll change my answers to the test paper. I'll only write the set of spells that I'd learn if I'm not Master Heinz's successor."

"Hmm… You can do just that… At most, with your talent, you can probably get 8 or 9 Spell Lights. You should try and write six spells you wanted to learn."

Vale agreed to his decision and soon returned to his seat as if nothing happened.

He already thought of the Dark Spells he wanted to learn before he attended the academy so it was quite easy for him to decide.

Aside from his Ghost Hands, he wanted to learn Madness Inducement, Cursed Contract Bestowal, Heart Burst, Severe Ailment, and Passive Curse Break.
