Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-257

As Vale was wondering about their real intention for causing such a scene in front of the Academy, he finally sensed a group of three people entering the Academy from the eastern side.

They stealthily climbed up the wall, and Vale had almost failed to sense them. Luckily, he kept his Extrasensory Perception Spell activated.

At this time, Vale finally decided to use his Divine Sense. Using this spell in the chaotic area outside the Academy was quite tricky. It was due to the intense fluctuations of energy caused by numerous dark spells, undead creatures, and spirits. This also includes the various spells from different Arcane Paths used by the members of the Secret Organization.

Using the Divine Sense amid such a chaotic battlefield would most likely fail, and there was also a chance of being detected.

He learned these things over the past few weeks outside the Academy.

'Divine Sense…'

Vale triggered the spell model in his body.

Transformation Arts Practitioner with 8 filled Spell Lights.

Transformation Arts Practitioner with 8 filled Spell Lights.

Transformation Arts Practitioner with 9 filled Spell Lights.

"Oh…" Vale was surprised as soon as he saw the Arcane Path of those three intruders.

"Vale, is there something wrong?" Lisa asked Vale after hearing his soft voice.

This surprised the latter for a moment as he replied.

"Nothing… I just tried sensing the situation outside and was a bit surprised." He said with a low voice. Everyone was chatting silently, so he also softened his voice.

However, his voice was still heard by everyone in the classroom as they looked at him weirdly.

Neil, who was one of his avid haters, said mockingly. "Hmph… He's bluffing. There's no way he can sense what's happening outside. There are multiple seals activated, and the Formation Circle of the Academy is also disrupting the flow of all Arcane Energy."

Emily also nodded at this. "Although I'm not Neil's friend, he should be correct about this."

"Tsk! Do you have to say we're not friends?" Neil said as he glared at the red-haired girl.

"As if you can compare yourself to my friend. If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that Vale is also incompetent. It's your problem for having a 3-meter Magic Zone." Chad said with cold voice.

This had obviously angered Neil…

"What?! I don't have a 3-meter Magic Zone! It's already 14 meters! I'm telling you!"

At this point, Professor Shirley, who was using her telepathy to communicate with the people outside, could no longer stand their bickering as she sternly spoke.

"Stop making noise… The situation outside isn't settled yet. Be ready for further instructions coming from the Headmaster. Their decision might change at any time."

"Yes, Professor."

Everyone answered simultaneously as they all went silent. They could tell their kind professor was not in a good mood.

In the meantime, Vale was keeping his senses focused on the three Transformation Masters.

No one seemed to have noticed their presence aside from him since the Professors, including the newly arrived members of the Order, did not bother going in their direction.

'Hmm? Are they going to the East Pavilion? Wait--They're headed to the Armory!'

The Armory or the Treasure Vault was also in the East Pavilion's direction!

Vale felt surprised as he thought that the Secret Organization already entered that place and tried searching for the Pocketwatch.

They should've failed to find the Pocketwatch there and shouldn't be targeting the Academy anymore.

As he thought of informing the Headmaster through telepathy, he realized that a student was actually hiding and waiting for the three people!

Vale swiftly used his Divine Sense.

Mystic Arts Practitioner with 11 filled Spell Lights.

'That's the spy I detected not long ago!' Vale gasped as he recognized the fifth-year student who met with the three intruders... No, he should be a sixth-year student now!

At this moment, Vale finally realized what was going on. After getting so many hints, there was no way he couldn't connect it.

The young Mystic Arts Practitioner was definitely a spy of the Secret Organization, and these Transformation Arts Practitioners helped him ensure that no one would notice his disguise as Dark Arts Practitioner.

Then, it would also explain why they are targeting the treasury.

Perhaps, the treasury wasn't really breached then, and the Mystic Arts Practitioner only messed it up by using some sort of mystical ability. He may have been helped by a few other members of the Secret Organization at that time to make the people think that the treasury was no longer being targeted.

'I should inform the Headmaster…' Vale immediately thought as he used his Phantasm State to locate the Headmaster's location.

Boom!

The ground suddenly shook, and the aftershock dizzied almost every student in the Academy. Vale also failed to concentrate because of this, as he failed to find the Headmaster.

"Not good! The Academy's Protection Circle was damaged. Three enemies entered the building. Tsk." Professor Shirley grunted.

Although she's also a Spellcaster, she prioritizes her research and expanding her knowledge. She was only a third-class Practitioner, and it could be said that some 9th-year or 10th-year students were stronger than her.

If she had to fight against the intruders, who were all First-Class Arcanists, she would definitely die.

Luckily, the other Professors also came out of their classrooms as they gathered together.

There were a total of nine of them, including Professor Stella Harwin, Eric Saullon, Elnora White, and Law Morton.

Aside from Professor Morton, the others can be considered weak in individual battles.

However, now that they gathered up, their confidence rose as they readied themselves to fight and protect their precious students.

***

In the meantime, Vale had already slipped out the moment the Professors came out of the classroom!

Apparently, as soon as he contacted the Headmaster and reported the situation, he was ordered by the man to come with him!

Of course, Vale refused to follow as he didn't want to be in danger in this situation. The opponents are First-Class Arcanists after all! There was no way he would underestimate these people.

However, the Headmaster offered something that he couldn't refuse!
