Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-341

Professor Zach Everette had, of course, noticed Vale's presence in the class. However, he simply nodded at Vale like they didn't have an unpleasant experience before.

Vale didn't mind it as he listened attentively to the class. He started to like their Alchemy Class, especially after he successfully created a simple potion that could extend the storage life of his Healing Water.

So he didn't really mind if the Professor had a bad relationship with him as long as they had good teaching skills.

Luckily, Professor Zach was indeed a good teacher.

After a few discussions, the class transferred to the laboratory to continue with their experiment. They would have to make the potion that Professor Zach taught them just now. It was quite fast, but it was also exciting for everyone.

As they entered the laboratory, Professor Zach instructed them to group into three to make this potion.

However, since Neil was missing, one group only had two members.

In the end, they were Vale and Leonore, who had somehow become partners because of Professor Zach's insistence.

"Alright… To start, we'll need a base of distilled water. Measure out precisely 200 milliliters and pour it into your cauldrons." Professor Zach said. He didn't have plans to show his alchemy skills and simply watched his students do what he instructed them.

Vale and Leonore carefully measured the water, ensuring accuracy, before pouring it into his cauldron.

Seeing everyone was following, Professor Zach continued. "Next, we'll add the dried treated chamomile flowers. Crush them gently to release their healing properties, and add two tablespoons to your cauldrons."

Several more instructions followed as the potion requires a total of 4 Supplementary Ingredients and 2 Main Ingredients.

Vale and Leonore worked together, enjoying the soothing aroma that filled the air as they made the potion.

Everyone continued to follow the instructions, and a sense of excitement filled the room. They observed the transformation of the potion, noting the color changes and the subtle shifts in energy.

Leonore whispered excitedly. "I can't wait to see the healing powers of this potion…"

Aubrey, who was beside them, wryly smiled as she commented. "Don't expect too much. This potion is very basic and can only cure minor injuries. It's nothing compared to the real potions of other Factions."

Chad nodded, his eyes gleaming with curiosity. "That's true… But this is just the start. We'll certainly learn other potions in this class."

"Well, you'll learn more if you select the Dark Alchemy Branch in your fourth year..." Vale commented as he waited for the ingredients to dissolve in the cauldron.

Professor Zach noticed that everyone had done great, and only the last step was missing.

"Lastly, we'll need to infuse the potion with your Dark Energy... Select a member of your team who will focus on channeling your Dark Energy into the potion. You have to remember to stop once you feel that the cauldron is filled with your Energy."

Everyone was aware of this last step since they already discussed this in the classroom. However, now that they are on this part, they hesitated about which of their team member should complete the last step.

"You can do it…" Vale gestured to Leonore, who seemed very excited.

"N-no… You can do it, Vale. I might ruin the potion." She replied with a bit of nervousness in her tone.

"You can do it… Just go ahead." Vale said as there might be a different effect if he did it. After all, he had a mixed energy inside his body, especially after he activated his Meridian Access.

Perhaps he would try it later once he was alone.

"Fine… Let me do it."

After a few more encouraging words, Leonore was finally convinced.

She went on ahead and put her palm on top of the cauldron before she closed her eyes, visualizing her Dark Energy and gathering them on her palms…

After that, she continued infusing the Dark Energy, hoping to bring relief and well-being to the potion she was making. Of course, while making the potion, her intention or thoughts may not matter to the result, but she still felt that she must do this with all her heart.

"Well done, everyone! Your Second Breath Potion is complete. Take a small vial, carefully ladle your potion into it, and label it with your names." Professor Zach said as he looked at the students with a gentle smile on his face.

'I guess this approach is better than getting on Vale's wrong side.' Professor Zach Everette thought to himself.

Unaware of his thoughts, Vale and Leonore carefully transferred the potion into a vial, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

As the class concluded, Vale and his friends had even gathered to compare their potions out of excitement.

***

Their days in the Academy peacefully continued like this, even after several months.

Perhaps there was only one person in the Academy who had been restless over the past few months…

It was Professor Gale Evans.

Gale Evans was a beautiful and seductive woman who worked as a professor in the Academy. She had long silver hair, blue eyes, and a curvy and voluptuous body.

In her office, she wore a tight red dress and high heels, and a pair of glasses on her nose. She taught the subject of Soul Path and Dark Arcane Enchantment, which was the art of creating and using mystical items in the sixth-year and seventh-year classes of the Dark Magic Branch and Rituals Branch.

She was also a master of charm spells, which was the art of influencing and manipulating the emotions and thoughts of others, but she wasn't teaching a subject related to this spell.

Anyway, she had a special interest in Vale Chambers and had been observing him over the past few months. She had been impressed by his talent and potential in various fields of Dark Arts. Well, she had also been attracted by his appearance and personality, which were different from the other students.

"He's really impressive…" Professor Evans muttered to herself as she licked her lips. She was reading the news about Vale, where it stated that he had just passed the Acceleration Exam of another subject. It was the Intermediate Spirit Law!
