Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 118 Valeʼs Summon

Stella had noticed Valeʼs actions from the very beginning.

She saw how he calmly prepared his Ritual Prayer for the first ten minutes. During that time, she saw him revising his prayer multiple times before he felt satisfied.

Then, from the five bottles of bone powder she had prepared, only Vale took one.

In her class in Elementary Spirit Law, she taught them that using bone powder easily attracts evil spirits especially if itʼs human bone powder.

If itʼs an animalʼs bone powder, the chances of attracting evil spirits might be lower but thereʼs a higher chance that youʼll summon a spirit with low intelligence… It means that assessing it whether itʼs friendly or not will be tougher.

If a stupid spirit was summoned, it can be extremely scared and start causing trouble resulting in some accidents. If itʼs timid, itʼs even more difficult to say whether it would pass as ”friendly”. It would depend on the summonerʼs ability to pacify the spirit and make them friendly.

With this in mind, all the students decided to stay away from this item… except for Vale Chambers.

ʼThose bone powders werenʼt meant to be used in this assessment… unless he knows something that Iʼve never taught them yet. Wait… is he thinking of getting a chance to take a Class Advancement Exam in my two subjects?ʼ

Stellaʼs eyes widened as she recalled the rumors about the Arithmetic Class.

She knows that Vale wanted to advance his class as quickly as possible. It was already a rumor in the faculty room.

According to Professor Russel Ravine, Vale was quite arrogant for thinking he could skip this subject.

Stella didnʼt bring it up to Vale since she felt that he had just been tutored in Arithmetic by the Chambers Clan so he has some confidence. It wasnʼt that surprising that he was planning to skip that class.

However, Valeʼs unusual actions in this assessment seem like heʼs also planning to do it in her class! Stella glared at him as she felt that Vale was being confident.

In the meantime, Vale suddenly felt a chill as he thought that someone managed to call upon the presence of the Spirit Worldʼs gate.

However, it doesnʼt seem to be the case after observing the surroundings once more.

Vale can only shake his head to clear his mind.

As his classmates started chanting their prayers, he remained in his seat as he drew the magic circle engraved in the Animus Haven Hall within his mind.

After recalling the strange magic circle, Vale removed the cap of the bone powder bottle.

He took a deep breath before he started pouring it on his table to form the magic circle.

While his classmates are using incense sticks, candles, mirrors, and various items to summon a foreign spirit, Vale was the only one who thought of using a magic circle.

ʼAs expected… He has experienced summoning a foreign spirit before. However, why did the Chambers Family teach him these things so early?ʼ Stella commented in her mind after seeing how Vale looked so composed.

The knowledge of Magic Circles can be extremely dangerous if the person who had learned it doesnʼt have a solid foundation in Arcane Studies.

In the past few weeks, she didnʼt teach them how to use Magic Circles to summon a spirit. As a matter of fact, a fundamental study of Magic Circles would be on be tackled in their second year and would go in-depth in the third year.

If Vale really knows how to use magic circles this early, it means that the Chambers Family had truly invested a lot in this young man with a special purpose.

As for what it was, she doesnʼt have a clue.

Soon, Vale finished completing his Magic Circle. It was a mini version of the Animus Haven Hallʼs magic circle…

After he placed the empty bottle to the side, Vale held the Oardic Prayer Stone and started praying in his heart.

”Glorius Gates of the Spirit World. Hallowed Maker of the Soul Society. The Nameless Guardian of the Harbingers. I, a devout follower of the Eternal Darkness, wish to open the gates of the World of Spirits… I wish to call for a living spirit residing in your world that wants to befriend me…”

Vale said these words in Oardic.

The first part of the prayer is something that he had heard from Master Heinz first before Professor Stella Harwin taught it to them in the class.

Calling the gates of the Spirit World is a must since as they said, the gates itself has awareness. They must be respectful when calling it during their prayers

As for the Hallowed Maker and the Name Guardian, they were referring to the two powerful beings that are protecting the Spirit World itself.

Nevertheless, it doesnʼt mean that you always have to call these three special beings in every prayer pertaining to the Spirit World… It can either just be one of them since they all have control over the Spirit World…

The chances of getting a reply from your prayer would actually be higher if you decided to call for all three of them at the same time.

”…”

Vale waited for a minute but he didnʼt get a response…

Stella, who was watching him all this time also noticed that Vale seem to have failed in his first attempt.

Nevertheless, she canʼt see any disappointment in Valeʼs eyes.

As a matter of fact, Vale seems to be patiently waiting even after two minutes…

Vale shouldʼve realized that he had failed according to what she taught them last week.

ʼI guess heʼs really stubborn… That can also be a good thing. If he gets out of this hurdle, Iʼm sure heʼll be—ʼ

Stellaʼs thoughts suddenly paused as she felt something around Vale.

Stacy and Cliff also looked at Valeʼs direction as the spell that is protecting the whole classroom suddenly reacted…

”Y-you…” Cliff was speechless as he realized something.

Stacy, on the other hand, was already rushing to scold Vale.

”Hey! Are you using a forbidden ritual?! Youʼre not allowed to do that… Ahhh!”

Stacy suddenly stepped back as a spirit shrouded in darkness suddenly pounced on her!

Professor was also alarmed as soon as she noticed what Vale had just summoned.

”Dark Spirit!”
