Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 41 Status

?Although he could barely remember this person, his chilling smile was something that had etched in his mind.

After all, this person had taken a small part of his shadow before he was sent to the factory! He could still remember that day.

According to Mr. Heinz, the person's identity is most likely the Vice Headmaster who had visited his laboratory on that same day. Unfortunately, Kyle had forgotten the man's face so he wasn't able to confirm it…

"So you can remember me?" The pale-faced man asked as he didn't deny his identity.

Kyle took a deep breath as he gently nodded to the Vice Headmaster. There's no point panicking. In any case, he knows that he shouldn't be in danger. If this person has bad intentions, he would have died already when he was still on that cart pulled by the Variant.

"Are you here for Master Heinz? He seem to have gone out yesterday after the disturbance in the dockyard. Would you like to wait inside the laboratory?" Kyle asked unhurriedly as he stood on his spot.

The Vice Headmaster, on the other hand, didn't answer and just walked closer to him.

The latter almost flinched at this action but he maintained his position since he was not feeling any animosity from the Vice Headmaster in the first place.

Then, Kyle suddenly heard the familiar cane that ripped his shadow. It had somehow appeared while the man was walking…

'What Dark Spell was that? Illusion? Transformation?' Kyle mused as he can't figure out how did he miss the appearance of the cane.

Only when it struck the floor and made a sound did he notice its presence. It was magical and quite cool, to be honest… If possible, he wanted to learn this spell so he was already thinking of asking the Vice Headmaster about it.

The man then tapped Kyle's shoulders twice before speaking… "You're doing great… You already have two Dark Spells. Make sure not to add more if you want to attend the Academy next year."

Kyle froze as he realized that the Vice Headmaster can really sense his Spell Model… Nevertheless, what was even more shocking was his Incorruptible Body that is undetected by the Vice Headmaster!

He knows for sure that the man had only detected his Spell Dispersion and Ghost Hands…

'So I was right… No wonder the third light wasn't as imposed as the other two. The Incorruptible Body isn't a Dark Spell but is considered as Dark Arts. Only dark spells are detectable from others…' Kyle has finally confirmed his thoughts about his third Dark Arts.

Unlike the Spell Dispersion and Ghost Hand's Spell Model in his body, the Incorruptible Body can't be used actively… It is a passive ability that he gained and it is basically his physique and not some sort of spell that can be used up or needed to be "refilled" with energy.

In short, he really doesn't have to worry about being unable to enroll.

"Y-yes, Vice Headmaster. Master Heinz already reminded me."

"Mhmm… I see. You can now call me Headmaster Jean starting today." The man replied with an incredible sense of joy.

Kyle was speechless for a moment. He knows from the book he read that the Headmaster did not change ever since the Academy was built!

It was quite surprising that the Headmaster would just suddenly change!

'Is it related to what happened yesterday? Is that the reason why Mr. Heinz can't return yet? Urgh… I'm thinking too much… I must congratulate him first.' Kyle thought as he immediately changed his mood.

"Congratulations, Headmaster Jean." He calmly spoke.

'Lesley's uncle is now the headmaster… How lucky…' Kyle added in his mind.

The evil woman truly had a solid background! No wonder she was able to spend a lot of money to buy Mr. Heinz's potions…

'Ahh… If I'm not mistaken, Headmaster Jean shouldn't know about Mr. Heinz and Lesley's transaction at that time. Tsk…'

Although Kyle wanted Lesley to be reprimanded because of this, Mr. Heinz might be affected as well so he decided not to bring up this matter.

"I'll be waiting for your master in his laboratory… You can go ahead."

"Yes, Headmaster Jean..." Kyle replied as he heaved a sigh of relief. He can finally leave the corridor.

After a few hours, Mr. Heinz finally arrived while leading a total of five carts pulled by the Variants. Needless to say, the carts were filled with corpses!

Furthermore, they are dressed as corpses! They weren't just extractable, they are also lootable corpses!

Of course, Kyle didn't follow his master since he knows that the Headmaster is still waiting in the laboratory.

He would be scolded if he interrupted the discussion of the 'adults' so he has to wait until Headmaster Jean was out.

It was only in the late afternoon did the Headmaster leave and this time, Kyle can finally recall half of his face!

Before, he can only vaguely recall the man's smile showing his white teeth… However, he can now recall the lower half of his face which seems to be an improvement…

As he was about to enter the workshop, he suddenly saw Denise so he quickly called her.

"Denise! Hold this…" Kyle said as he handed the Spirit Converging Crystal to the girl.

"Ahh?" Denise was a bit surprised by his sudden approach but she still held the crystal.

Seeing the blue crystal in her hands, she immediately realized what Kyle wanted to happen.

She didn't refuse as she also waited for the crystal to produce results.

"I'm also quite curious how many strands I'll make… It has been a while since I got tested… Right, how many strands did you make? Are there any changes?" Denise asked with a teasing smile. She knows that it's not easy to increase someone's Spirit so she believes that Kyle still has the same result. Three white strands.

However, his answer exceeded her expectations.

"I only made five…" Kyle answered.

In his mind, the corpses that were delivered a while ago will allow him to increase his stats once more so he didn't mind revealing his current Spirit.
