Chapter 167 Second Spell
Chapter 167 Second Spell
?
Vale wasn't sure whether she was serious about it or not… Nevertheless, it feels like the Academy made it impossible to get a Sovereign Rank mystical artifact from them.
Of course, it is not that surprising considering how they only have three of them! If they made it easy, those three would've been taken away already.
Even the Royal Rank items are quite impossible for many students in the Academy.
After all, the contribution points have many other uses… Aside from the mystical artifacts, it can also be used to get some rare Spell Models, rare ingredients for Alchemy, secret Dark Arts Books, an exclusive Tier 1 or Tier 2 Variant, and other services and products that Vale wasn't aware of…
Because of all these things, it's difficult to collect enough contribution points for a single Royal Rank mystical artifact.
"Thank you for your explanation, Professor. Since we will be sharing Dale's 9 Contribution Points, I'll be having 3 more points with me."
"Yes… I heard that you earned 2 points from Professor Lucius after killing that Evil Creature kept in the Serenity Hall. With that 5 points, you can get a relatively good Spell Model."
"What kind of Spell Model would that be, Professor?"
"Don't expect too much but it certainly is a lot better than the 20 Free Spell Models that the Academy provides. Ah, if it wasn't taught by your Darkness Path professor yet, it will probably be taught soon…"
"I understand, Professor."
Vale felt even more curious about this as he asked more questions.
Apparently, the Academy only has 20 Free Spell Models, this includes simple spells like Ghost Hands, Dusk Imprisonment, Ghastly Ailment, and others… If students wanted something better or rare Spell Models, they have to earn it by getting contribution points to exchange for it.
As for Tier 2 Dark Spells, they were even more expensive as their lowest price was 30 points.
Vale can finally understand why the students in the higher years extremely value these contribution points!
It was no wonder they were always struggling to get it and would envy those who have many of them.
Because of how he easily earn 2 Contribution Points last month, he didn't really feel pressured but now that he started learning about the usage of these points, he realized that he truly needed plenty of them and he has to be smart about using them and not waste each point.
The student and professor continued chatting about many things as Vale also confirmed that the Rakmiths Professors apologized by giving them compensation. It was 12,000 zen. It was quite a large sum of money and it was supposedly 6,000 zen but she protested it and raised it by a double.
Thanks to that, the three of them who were victims of false accusations would receive 4,000 zen each. That is quite a large sum of money considering how an average person only earns about 50 zen a week.
Vale didn't just earn back the money he spent to purchase the Murloc's Gem and Nymph Scale but he also profited from it.
After this, Vale informed Professor Stella about what had happened in the streets of the city a while ago… She was shocked by the incident they encountered and if Vale didn't mention the recording crystal, she might not believe everything that he said.
"Are you sure those two officers are Combat Art Practitioners?" Stella asked after a while.
"Yes… I'm sure that they're using that mysterious Aura… Their weapons were also Rune Devices if I'm not mistaken."
"Aura and Rune Devices… They're indeed signs of Combat Arts Practitioners… Alright, I'll let the Headmaster know about this. Hand me over that recording crystal."
"Yes, Professor." Vale complied as this is also what he wanted to happen.
On the next day, Vale didn't see student Dale or even Professor Russel as if they were avoiding him. Well, they were probably too ashamed after what they'd done and didn't dare to see him.
In the afternoon, the people who had gone out for their mission had started to return one by one… They all boarded the Academy's Airship at the same time and left Charvale City to return to the Academy.
After a long trip, they returned to the academy safely… It was uneventful but it was for the best.
After Vale's group sent the Recording Crystals to the Clubroom, Vale swiftly returned to his dormitory and saw Harith and Zeno playing a board game in the living room. It was already seven in the evening so it was quite baffling that they were still playing at this time.
"Vale, you've returned… I heard you had a mission outside the academy. What a lucky fellow…" Zeno commented as soon as he saw Vale entering their room.
"It's not really a pleasant trip… Anyway, what happened today?" Vale asked. There were no classes today because of the commemoration of the Recapture of the Dark Sorcerer Tower.
He only knows what happened on that particular date but he doesn't know any of the traditions they celebrate because of that…
The two paused their game for a moment and explained what happened in the academy… It seems that there is a monument of Morgan Vermont together with the list of people he saved in the tower from the hands of the Holy Arts Faction.
There was a ceremony of giving flowers to the monument and a speech from the Headmaster was also made and it only lasted for about an hour.
After this ceremony, they were able to look around the gallery where they saw various paintings, sculptures, and ancient items that were related to that event.
"A monument? Where is that located?" Vale asked curiously.
"It's at the garden on the east side of the Serenity Hall."
Vale nodded at this as he hadn't visited that place yet. He only knows that on the west side of the Serenity Hall was the Contribution Points Exchange Hall which not many people would visit as well… Even if they do, perhaps they only visit the Exchange Hall about twice a year.
About two weeks later, on June 23rd, Professor Morton of Essential Dark Spell Class, confirmed that all students of class 2 managed to finally record one of the three Primary Spells of the Academy!
It was time for them to learn the second spell!
