Novel Full Chapter 107 Failure
“Ugh… I hope she won’t think of me as an enemy.” Vale replied as he knows that Maya is more dangerous than Wilfred.
After all, Maya seems to have a deep connection with the Order of the Evanescent Vessels. Furthermore, she wouldn’t be the student representative if she was weak.
“Haha… There’s no one thinking of causing trouble for you except those from the Moontomb Family. You’re capable of ruthlessly killing your own schoolmate after all. Perhaps, aside from you, no one else in the First Year students had tried killing someone. There was no way they would mess on you.” President Noah Featherstar said with a chuckle.
This time, Vale couldn’t reply since what he said seemed to be true. Nevertheless, Vale still asked him about his relationship with Maya. They have the same surname after all.
Then, Noah’s answer shocked Vale for a moment.
“She’ll be my sister-in-law in the future… I’m courting her sister and I can already see my future with her… Soon…” Noah replied with a longing face.
Vale was stunned as he thought that they were relative already… He thought that Maya was his little sister or cousin!
‘Is it just a coincidence that they have the same last name?’ Vale thought but an idea popped up in his mind.
‘Is it about the things I’ve read before in some books? Preservation of the bloodline or something?’ Vale frowned at this thought but since this is an old-fashioned world with mysticism and such, he can’t really comment about this kind of tradition.
Anyway, he still congratulated the president as it feels like the right thing to say at the moment.
Noah liked Vale’s complimenting words as he even promised that he’ll teach Vale plenty of things about the right way to become a Referee.
He also said that he, as a President of the Club, would be the Referee in case Cornelio arranged a duel for Vale!
“Really? Aren’t you busy?” Nadine asked.
She decided to just forget her blunder about Vale’s Spirit Strands matter. Next time, she swore that she’ll bring a Spirit Converging Crystal with 30-Strand capacity.
“It’s not that I can’t a lot an hour of my time on such an important event. Since Vale is a member of our committee, it’s normal to support him. If I’m the referee, that Cornelio won’t be able to pull up any tricks.” Noah replied with confidence.
Vale was obviously glad about this but also felt worried.
“Can I just decline this duel if I think it’s too dangerous?” Vale asked seriously. If possible, he wanted to avoid battling against them right now since they will certainly aim for his life.
The Moontomb Family definitely has tricks up their sleeves that they could use against a 14-year-old student like him.
Before the others could answer, Philip already spoke and gave his opinion.
“It will be difficult, he will surely arrange something so you can’t refuse the duel. I heard plenty of things about him and they’re not good. If you can’t find a stronger backer, it will be dangerous. However, as long as it’s a fair and square battle, you should be just fine. Right, you should be able to learn the Primary Dark Spell at that time so you will have other means of fighting instead of just relying on your Ghost Hands…”
Vale furrowed his brows after hearing this.
‘Primary Dark Spell?’
Grover realized that Vale is unaware of the Primary Dark Spell so he swiftly explained.
“It’s one of the four Dark Spells that must be learned by the students of this Academy. The first one that you’ll learn is called Darkness Manipulation. You should be able to learn within this month.”
Vale’s eyes lit up after hearing this.
“Ahhh… So that’s the name of the spell.” He knows about the required spells that all students must learn. It was discussed by Professor Lucius in their last class last week.
Grover nodded as he continued.
“That’s right… Once you learned this, you have to practice it daily and reach its late-stage Elementary Realm as quickly as possible. That Spell will be very helpful for you…”
Grover then recalled something as he swiftly shifted the topic… “By the way, are you aware of what happened to Wilfred’s body?”
Vale tilted his head as he was curious about the sudden question.
“I’m not aware…” He replied.
“It seems that something went wrong with the ritual made by the Gold Necromancer. I think he wasn’t able to retrieve Wilfred’s spirit for some odd reason.”
Vale froze as he obviously knows that answer. The Gold Necromancer didn’t fail at all. The problem is that Wilfred’s spirit was already captured by the Ring Artifact that the Headmaster lent to him.
He didn’t even bother thinking of extracting Wilfred’s corpse at that time since he didn’t want to get too suspicious.
What the expert witnesses only knows is that he damaged Wilfred’s brain so he was killed… Regarding the missing spirit, he shouldn’t be implicated in it. At the very least, this is what he hoped to happen so he didn’t get in contact with Wilfred’s body. .𝒄𝙢
“That’s a shame… I didn’t know much about the Gold Necromancer, is he that great?” Vale asked curiously.
Grover nodded at this and explained with a hint of excitement.
“You will learn about him in your history class. His greatest feat was about 19 years ago… Just by himself, he protected the main branch of the Dark Sorceror Refuge in Grimgarde Plains from the Illustrious Liquidators and Lore Hunters… He’s so awesome!”
“That sounds awesome…” Vale nodded as he recalled that the Illustrious Liquidator was from the Mystic Arts Faction while Lore Hunter was from Elemental Arts Faction.
He knows that these organizations were composed of the elite members of the faction they belong to.
It means that dealing with them alone would be an incredibly difficult task.
“That’s right… He’s probably the strongest Necromancer in our Academy right now. So his failure attracted the Headmaster’s attention and it was decided that the Headmaster himself will investigate… I hope that this won’t cause trouble for you.”
“…”
