Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 328 Write

It didnʼt take long before the test started. It began with Class 4.

Professor Stella looked at the students as she considered who would go first.

ʼI need someone who can set the mood…ʼ She silently thought.

After some hesitations, she decided to call for Luna. She wasnʼt just a role model student but also a talented Arcanist. She would certainly perform well and would give a good start to give some excitement for everyone.

On the other hand, Luna almost stepped back as soon as she saw Professor Stella looking at her.

ʼNo…ʼ She said in her mind. She bit her lips as she realized that Professor Stella was indeed planning to make her the first student to take the examination.

Although she was confident with her looks, she didnʼt like being stared at by many people.

”Luna… Stand here.” Professor Stella called her as she gestured where to go.

”Watch her carefully since youʼll be following her next.” Stella added.

Luna could only sigh as she walked onto the stage nervously, clutching her pendant.

She looked at Stella before shifting her gaze to the three other professors who were the judges of the test. She bowed politely at them as she looked at the Recording Crystal that was pointed at her.

”Donʼt be nervous, Luna! Weʼre here for you!”

”You can do it! Just relax and imagine that the Professors are frog—mph!” The student who said this suddenly received a head smack out of nowhere.

Thankfully, his words seemed effective as she looked at the audience watching her from their sections and smiled timidly.

”You can begin now. Use your Darkness Manipulation Spell to control the Dark Energy around you. The stage youʼre using will produce enough darkness that you need. It will not run out. However, make sure that you only gather the amount of Dark Energy you can control, as Manipulation is the key to this examination… Once youʼre satisfied with your performance, you can just stop and cast your second Spell.” Professor Stella instructed enough for everyone to hear.

Luna nodded at this as she took a deep breath and entered her Phantasm State. She swiftly triggered her Darkness Manipulation Spell as she felt the Dark Energy gathering around her.

”Darkness Manipulation…” Luna said softly while observing the flow of energy around her. Of course, her words werenʼt an incantation but her own chant to activate her Spell Model.

With these words, a sphere of made of darkness floated above her hands.

Whom~

The sphere was only the size of a human head, but it had a cold and sinister aura.

It also absorbed all the light around it, making the hall darker and colder. She controlled it for only about 10 seconds before she felt that it was enough and scattered it above her, creating a beautiful scene of darkness and light merging together.

”Whoa~”

”So we can do that?”

”Of course. However, donʼt try copying her. Creating a sphere would be difficult if your mastery hadnʼt reached the peak of Elementary Realm yet.”

”Right… Iʼll just focus on what I can do on my Spell.”

The audience gasped in awe and admiration again. The students, especially those who barely knew her, were impressed by Lunaʼs skill and beauty in creating such a mysterious sphere of darkness with the Manipulation Spell. Most of them werenʼt using their Darkness Manipulation to create such a beautiful sphere after all.

They clapped and cheered for her louder, praising her for her talent.

The professors nodded in approval and appreciation of her skills. They were impressed by Lunaʼs precision and timing in creating such a precise spell. Without a doubt, she had a passing score on this part of the exam.

Luna didnʼt stop as she continued with the second part. Well, unlike Vale, her Phantasm State could only last for 7 minutes. The 7 minutes was even pushing her limit, so if possible, she only uses her magic zone within 5 minutes duration.

”Iʼll start with my second spell now...” Luna muttered, enough for Professor Stella to hear.

As Luna triggered her second Spell Model, a surge of power ran through her body, and she felt a connection with the Darkness. She raised her hand and pointed it at the ceiling, where she wanted to create her second Spell…

Luna calmed her breathing as she spoke softly.

”Moonlight.”

Whom~

A beam of light shot out from her hand and hit the ceiling.

The beam of light was a mix of dark and white, but it had a gentle and soothing glow. It spread across the ceiling, creating a beautiful pattern of stars and moons. It seemed as if the ceiling already had this design, which was exposed because of the Spell.

It illuminated the hall, making it brighter and warmer… But while this was happening, their shadows also started dancing simultaneously.

As she finished casting the Spell, many students recognized the Spell she used.

”Moonlight Dust! A Tier 2 Spell?!” Neil was the first one to react.

”What? Thatʼs a Tier 2 Spell? She already learned it while weʼre only in our Second-Year?” A student from another class said in disappointment. He was disappointed in himself that he couldnʼt use such a spell.

”How is that possible? Did she start training when she was two?”

”This is impossible… If the standard is this high, I really wonʼt have a chance of being selected to attend the competition.”

The students who were probably thinking of using Ghost Hands, Dusk Imprisonment, Nightmare Spells, and other basic spells with high mastery started despairing at the sight of Tier 2 Dark Spell.

The three professors were satisfied with her performance as they gave her a passing mark. As for her specific grade, no one knows yet. Perhaps, it will be announced later on once they confirm which students will get the Contribution Points reward.

Nevertheless, the examination continued.

The second student from Class 4 was Jake Jones. His Darkness Manipulation Spell wasnʼt as impressive as Lunaʼs since he only used this spell to create a Fog of Darkness around him.

The control wasnʼt that great either.

Furthermore, his second spell wasnʼt a grandiose spell like the Moonlight Dust, but it was simply a Ghost Hand that could carry a pen and write his name and address.

It was impressive for him but not for many.
