Novel Full Chapter 13 Guide
“Yes… Do you have any suggestions?” Kyle calmly asked unaware of Denise’s thoughts. He already stood up with difficulty as the floor hurts his butt.
‘She’s smaller than I thought…’ He mused.
He noticed that he was a head taller than Denise now that they were closer to each other. Somehow, he felt confident that he’ll easily get stronger than this girl once he learned how to practice Dark Spells.
Denise, on the other hand, was unafraid of the taller young man and replied with confidence.
“If you don’t have any knowledge about the Dark Arts and had just taken the Darkness Possession, I don’t think it’s appropriate to learn the Dark Spells yet…” Denise said as she looked at the books on Mr. Heinz’s desk.
They were books of Spells, Rituals, Necromancy, and other branches of Dark Arts. Obviously, Mr. Heinz wouldn’t read these books so it means that Kyle had selected them.
Kyle noticed this as he shook his head and explained the misunderstanding.
“No, those were books Mr. Heinz said that I can’t read. He told me that I should read all the books on the leftmost shelf in two months.”
Denise looked at Kyle like he was an idiot and said, “Two months? That’s impossible. Perhaps, if you’re not going to try and understand them, that might be doable. However, if you want to learn them, it’s different. It will take you many years… Did you mishear him?”
Kyle had the same reaction as her when he first heard Mr. Heinz.
‘It seems that she’s not aware of the technique Mr. Heinz was talking about… I guess all of the things she learned are from the books.’
Kyle’s lips curled up as he smiles thinking that he indeed has a much better situation than Denise. He may be ignorant now, but surpassing this girl will be easy for him.
“I didn’t mishear him…” Kyle replied as he unconsciously raised his chin in delight.
He didn’t want to tell her about the technique that Mr. Heinz will be teaching him to absorb knowledge faster. It’s his privilege as a real disciple.
‘There’s no need to let an errand girl know about it.’ Kyle thought as he finally felt better. At the very least, he learned that the technique to absorb knowledge faster isn’t a common thing.
Denise looked at him with doubtful eyes but she didn’t continue prying.
“Ehem… What do you suggest I read first?” Kyle asked deciding to change the subject.
Denise wasn’t surprised by the question and answered with a hint of pride.
“Mhmm… You have to learn how to develop the talent you just awakened. Since you consumed the Darkness Possession, learning Dark Arts will be easier than other Arcane Paths. However, you need to accumulate energy inside your body.”
“So, how do you accumulate energy?”
At this question, Denise smiled and picked up a book from the shelf. It’s the third book from the left of the first row at the bottom.
Guide to the Darkness.
‘It doesn’t sound evil enough…’ Kyle mused after reading the title.
At this time, Denise decided to act as his senior and explained, “There are a few ways to accumulate energy… The easiest is the potion, like the Darkness Possession Potion. It’s not only to awaken talent but it can also increase your dark energy. The normal one without any external help is meditation—Hmm… I think Mr. Heinz is already returning. Good luck!”
Denise didn’t finish her introduction. As soon as she felt Mr. Heinz’s presence, she left Vincent alone in the laboratory. She doesn’t seem frail at all as she runs quickly to the door…
Kyle was curious how Denise can sense Mr. Heinz’s presence.
‘That’s interesting… I want to learn that too.’
Kyle thought as he arranged the books on the desk. He kept the Guide to the Darkness book with him and returned all the others to the shelf.
He then seated on the nearby sofa and wait for Mr. Heinz to arrive.
Kyle sighed as he wasn’t sure whether he was doing what he was supposed to do right now.
At the moment, he doesn’t know his purpose for transmigrating here. Of course, he doesn’t have any desire to return to his world since he’s basically dead after being stabbed. His body might even be still in the morgue since no one would probably claim it…
‘My transmigration is most likely related to the pocket watch that was broken but I don’t have the skill to fix it. Maybe I can try and ask someone to take a look at it once my situation stabilized.’ Kyle thought of a plan.
This time, he just decided to at least be capable of getting stronger since he dislike the fact that he could easily get robbed and killed with this young and weak body.
The Vermont Academy is the best place for him to develop since this should be a good place to get accustomed to this world… It doesn’t lack food, there’s a warm bed, he could learn one of the Arcane Paths, and he even obtained a system that will make him stronger as long as he doesn’t court death.
It is unfortunate that there’s a weird Lesley inside the Academy right now but he won’t complain about it.
Creak…
Finally, Mr. Heinz arrived and he seemed to be satisfied with his visit to the Academy as he was full of smiles.
He noticed Kyle reading a book and nodded. 𝒊𝒃𝙖.𝙢
“Guide to the Darkness. Good choice…”
“Master Heinz, you finally arrived. Someone came when you were out…”
Kyle immediately reported what happened without leaving any details behind. Although he mentioned to Denise that they should forget it, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t report it to the owner of this Laboratory.
As expected, Heinz frowned after hearing about the Dusk Imprisonment that put him to sleep.
“I’ll be teaching her a lesson… That first-level Dark Spell can consume someone’s life force. It’s a good thing that she’s a beginner, she probably made a mistake and only put you asleep…”
“What? It’s that dangerous?!” Kyle was indeed shocked as he immediately checked his attributes panel.
