Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-205

Vale had no idea what had happened after he left the Quest Pavilion…

He didn't waste any of his time as he swiftly went to the Faculty Room to look for the Professor.

Currently, he had a few plans in his mind in order to extract people, spirits, or any extractable targets. His first plan is to look for Professor Lucius since he might help him get in contact with the criminals.

After all, he's afraid to extract just anyone since he might kill them if he does that. Or even if he did not kill them, they'll probably notice that he took something out of them and he would be in trouble.

There was no way he'll reveal the power of his extraction.

The other plan was to look for Headmaster Jean.

With the Headmaster's help, he can use his last favor to extract people or he can also request to allow him to be outside the Academy. Once he's outside, he'll think of another way to use his extraction system.

His final plan was to ask for some help from his senior students. Those in the Battle Arena Committee would surely grant his request. He would ask them to summon Spirits or maybe Zombies and allow him to extract them and he would disguise it as a strange experiment.

After all, since he can extract Spiritual Beings, he believes that he can also extract Undead Creatures.

With a plan in his mind, he soon found Professor Lucius and was just going out of the faculty…

He doesn't seem to be in a good mood but Vale still went to approach him.

"Professor, may I ask for your help?" Vale directly said. He doesn't want to waste both of their time.

Professor Lucius looked at Vale with a hint of surprise. After all, Vale would barely participate in class and would just usually listen and take notes silently.

He didn't dislike this behavior but he just felt that it was unusual to be approached by this young man.

"How can I help you?" Professor Lucius replied as he stopped walking in the hallway.

Vale immediately explained what he wanted. Of course, also asked the Professor what he wanted in exchange for this favor since he knows that he wouldn't tire himself without any form of reward.

"Hm? You want to get in contact with criminals or even evil creatures?"

"Yes, Professor…"

"Are you planning to use a dangerous dark spell?"

At this point, Vale can't lie since his extraction might have some effect.

"Yes, Professor. It's related to a secret spell that my Master taught me."

As soon as he heard, Professor Lucius nodded in understanding.

"I remember now… Your Master was Heinz Becker. Headmaster Jean mentioned it to me once… I guess that spell is related to his life-long research."

"Yes, Professor."

"If that's the case, this is for the advancement of the Dark Arts Faction's new branch. I'll help you with everything I can. However, I will be using my connections with the Order of the Evanescent Vessel so I would have to pay a price… I won't be asking for money but instead, I want you to learn the Light Absorption Spell within a month." As Professor Lucious said this, he looked at Vale with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Ah?" Vale was surprised at the Professor's last words.

"You want me to learn the Light Absorption Spell?" Vale repeated. He was confused since even if he didn't ask, he would still record this spell.

As a matter of fact, he had already discovered the trick to record this spell and was simply waiting for the right time to do it.

"Yes… In February, I will be showing you our new Evil Creature imprisoned at the Serenity Hall. At that time, I need you to have Light Absorption Spell."

"I'm confused, Professor. Am I going to fight another Evil Creature?"

"That's right. I heard that your Spirit Strand has remained stagnant over the past few months. I believe that if you engage in a battle, your potential will be triggered and your Spirit Strand might start being active once again."

Professor Lucius' answer warmed Vale's heart. In the end, the Professor was actually thinking of his current condition.

He didn't expect that this cold and stoic Professor was actually monitoring his progress and thinking of a way to improve his Spirit Strands!

"Thank you, Professor… I will work on it." Vale replied with a grateful smile.

Professor Lucius was satisfied with this reply as he swiftly contacted his connection to grant Vale's request.

Soon, Vale found himself outside the Academy…

They weren't heading toward the dockyard to ride an airship but headed to the hill behind it.

Vale suddenly recalled Sir Isaac Vermont's hidden research building in the opposite direction.

"Professor, are we going to a hidden facility?" He asked.

"You can say so… A Formation Art was hiding that place so you can't see it right now. However, they should be seeing us heading towards their place." Professor Lucius replied.

"I see…" Vale nodded as he confirmed his previous guess. There were indeed many facilities surrounding the Academy and they were just hidden by Arcane Arts!

Soon, Vale and Professor Lucius arrived at the huge wooden house on top of a hill and no one greeted them aside from a few Tier 2 Variants standing in various corners.

This house was invisible when they were still at the bottom of the hill and had only become visible after reaching its 30-meter range.

As soon as they entered the house, a gentle voice coming from a gorgeous lady was heard.

"Who's that freshman you brought? Is that your son?"

She was wearing a familiar black uniform so Vale could guess that she was a member of the Order. As for the rapier on her side, Vale wasn't sure if that was a required weapon for the Order or it was simply her preference.

Of course, this rapier-wielding woman was Ashe and she was the Vice Captain of the Order's Sixth Squad.

She was the same woman the Headmaster tasked to investigate the Secret Organization that attacked their Academy for a mysterious pocketwatch.

"He's not my son, Vice Captain Ashe… However, I'm looking forward to his development. Who knows, he might be a member of the Order in a few years… you'll have to take care of him at that time."
