Chapter 85 Club
Chapter 85 Club
?Vale had an impressive improvement over the past year.
It was all thanks to his Master's misunderstanding about his love for the cold corpses. Of course, because of this benefit, he can't say otherwise, or else, he would lose his chance to extract corpses.
His Master Heinz would even go far as collecting corpses from the outside just to give them to him. On his fourteenth birthday, he also received a dozen of corpses that were previously Arcane Arts Practitioners! Those twelve corpses were even beautiful women when they were still alive!
Up until now, he would still shudder every time he recalls his Master's birthday present. When he returned to his room, he saw the 12 naked female corpses lying on his tiny room's floor and bed.
He can't even complain to his master and could only accept it with a smile.
In any case, Vale still feels happy every time he sees his current attributes.
His Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Vitality are incredibly high compared to those of his same age.
This is especially true in terms of Strength and Agility.
As a matter of fact, he had very difficult training that lasted for several months in order to learn a technique that allows him to control his fast-growing strength and agility.
It is called Nimble Talon according to Heinz. Since Heinz is a Dark Alchemist, he requires a technique that allows him to fully be in control of his body or movement.
Alchemy requires high-precision actions especially the crucial parts when concocting potions and refining pills so it wasn't surprising that Heinz possess such a technique…
With Nimble Talon, Heinz's dexterity can be said to be at its peak.
Needless to say, Heinz wanted Vale to learn this as well in case the young man got interested in the field of alchemy.
Vale then glanced at his current set of Spell Models on his system.
The Spell Dispersion requires 800 Energy Points to advance to Level 5 or mid-stage Intermediate Realm. The Ghost Hand requires 1,024 Energy Points to advance to Level 8 or mid-stage Advanced Realm. Finally, the Incorruptible Body requires 960 Energy Points to advance to Level 6 or the late-stage Intermediate Realm.
He can't advance any of them any time soon.
"Vale, I'll be checking the Library Committee right now… Do you want to check it with me?" Lisa suddenly asked while Vale was lost in his thoughts.
Vale jolted awake at this question and answered.
"Aahh… Well, I'll be checking the Battle Arena Committee. I'm thinking of joining that instead."
"What? Really?" Lisa asked in surprise.
She did not pay attention to this committee but she heard some of their classmates talking about it.
Their task is quite difficult since they would handle every event or match in the Academy's Arena.
'Well, it's probably not that difficult if you're only a first-year student.' Lisa thought.
"Is it surprising?" Vale asked after seeing her reaction.
"Well, I thought that you'll join the Spirit Crafters Club. I saw you look really interested in it."
"That's right… That's actually my second option. Maybe if I don't pass in the Battle Arena Committee, I'll try the Crafters Club." Vale replied.
With that said, the two separated to find their clubs.
"Hi, are you interested in joining our club? I'm Nadine Sherris, the Club's Secretary."
Just like the other clubs, the Battle Arena Committee had selected an attractive member to reel in some freshmen into their club.
Nadine is in her sixth year according to her uniform. Vale can easily see the six eight-angled stars on her coat so he can't be mistaken.
She has flowing waist-length brown hair that had two hair bands at the two sides of her front hair with bangs swept to the right… She had dazzling brown eyes and was quite charming in Vale's preference.
After glancing at her healthy bosom, Vale couldn't help but admire the club's selection for their recruiter. They can certainly attract people with her at the stall.
He immediately collected his thoughts as he answered politely.
"Senior, I'm Vale Chambers. I'm indeed thinking of joining the club. May I ask what's the requirement to join your club?"
Knowing that she was about to recruit someone, Nadine couldn't help but feel excited…
"Our requirements aren't that high… After all, there are many positions in our club so anyone can probably fit in. However, since this is still an arena where there would always be combat, injuries, or even death, we need someone that is above average. After we learn about your situation, I will be able to give you suggestions on what position you'll fill in our club."
Vale nodded…
He didn't expect that the Arena would have casualties as well. Aren't they only students? Is it alright for students to die in the Arena?
Vale then thought for a moment and continued asking…
"So, are you going to test me if I'm above average?"
"Yes… Let's simply test your Spirit Strand. I have a small Spirit Converging Crystal here. It can produce a total of 10 Spirit Strands. We only need to see if you have 8 Spirit Strands and we'll allow you to join our club."
"Eight Spirit Strands is above average."
"Yes!"
"Alright, let's have a test then." Vale smiled as he got himself tested.
Soon, Nadine was holding a Spirit Converging Crystal with 10 Spirit Strands in it!
She couldn't help but feel happy after seeing this.
"Hahaha!"
Nadine Sherris smiled gorgeously…. Her bell-like laughter and the lights coming from the Crystal made Vale dizzy.
After laughing for a moment, Nadine finally slowly stopped but there is still a trace of a smile hanging on her face.
She suddenly recalled something as she looked at Vale awkwardly before she explained herself.
"Ahem… I'm just happy since I can recruit someone better. You see, one of our Arena Coordinators recruited a freshman with 8 Spirit Strand yesterday. He looked so smug and kept bragging about it. Now, I have someone with 10 Spirit Strands. Kekeke, he'll be surprised."
