Novel Full Chapter 246 Still There
Lesley was beaming as soon as she heard Lisa’s words. It was delightful to hear that a junior wanted to follow in her footsteps.
Lesley was also similar to many Arcane Arts Practitioners. She wanted to leave a legacy and become one of the greatest Arcanists that has ever lived.
Having a faithful follower seems to be a good start for that to happen. It may have been just empty words but she still liked it nonetheless. 𝒊𝒃𝙖.𝙢
Lesley then looked around the hallway before speaking in a soft voice.
“That’s great to hear… However, did you mention this to other people? As you know, I may have helped many people, but I also have a lot of enemies. You’d be in trouble if they learned your connection to me.” She warned with a concerned look on her face.
Lisa felt overwhelmed by Lesley’s kindness as she immediately answered.
“No, Senior Lesley. No one was aware of it. Although I’ve heard several professors and students mention your name, I kept my silence and even acted curious about you. Hehe…” Lisa replied with a mischievous smile on her face. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Lesley was satisfied with this answer.
“Alright. I’ll be meeting the Headmaster. I’m sure we’ll meet again someday. I hope that you’re already a successful Spellcaster at that time.” Lesley said as she waved goodbye to her junior.
“Yes, I will do my best, Senior.”
Lisa didn’t want to take too much of her idol’s time, so she quickly left after saying goodbye. She also didn’t want to be seen by other people since she knew that Lesley wouldn’t like it.
After Lisa’s figure disappeared from Lesley’s sight, she still couldn’t stop smiling. It was as if Lisa’s appearance made her recall plenty of things.
“I hope she grows quickly. Her physique hasn’t awakened yet… Should I push her a bit? No, I can’t rush now… I should just take my time. Once she’s ripe I–”
As she was muttering to herself, she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her mind.
“Lesley… What are you planning this time?”
Lesley was startled at this and she quickly replied.
“Ah… Uncle Jean… I’m not planning something. I was just happy to see a familiar face. Right, I heard that Sir Heinz had already left. I mean–Did he really not leave any method of communication?”
Lesley immediately shifted the topic as she conversed with the Headmaster using telepathy. Her desire to find Spellcasters with great physiques wasn’t new to the Headmaster. Up until today, even if she was doing missions assigned to her by the Order of the Evanescent Vessel, she was still doing her research to create a perfect Tier 3 Variant.
“Hmph… Don’t think of doing something weird to her. She has great potential as a Spellcaster. You can’t ruin her. Do you understand?” Headmaster Jean still reminded her niece as he knows her personality too well.
As expected, Lesley’s face turned sour when she heard his words.
However, she still nodded to her uncle like an obedient niece. There was no way she could openly disobey her uncle.
At the very least, once she used Lisa in her experiment in the near future, her uncle would have no choice but to accept it and only give her some punishment. She wasn’t afraid of that at all.
“Very well. Come to my office. You still have something to report.” Headmaster Jean finally said before cutting off his connection with his niece.
Lesley, who wanted to say something more, could no longer reply because of that.
‘I hope that the Secret Organization finds that pocketwatch already. Why are they causing so much uproar because of it? I can’t even sleep because of the problems they created.’
Lesley complained as she continued her way to the Headmaster’s Office.

In the Enchanted Forest, just more than 15 kilometers from Melthorn City, Vale could be seen moving quickly. It can be seen that he had a clear destination in his head and wasn’t just moving randomly.
Soon, Vale stopped running as he canceled his Lightspeed Spell… It depletes his Stamina quite a lot, but thankfully, he had a decent amount of Strength which also gave him plenty of Stamina.
“Great… They’re still here.” Vale muttered, out of breath.
He was looking at the corpses of the four Runecasters he had previously killed.
That’s right! Although it seemed like he escaped to another city from the direction he ran into, he actually circled around the mysterious village to revisit this place!
Since not even a day had passed, the corpses of the Runecasters were still emitting some form of energy brought by the Rune Arts they had cultivated or practiced.
The wild animals haven’t approached them, and the Evil Spirit hasn’t found them yet.
Without any hesitation, Vale quickly went to their side and extracted them.
[ Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]
“Yes…”
[ Extraction successful. Energy +20 Agility +0.30 Intelligence +0.20 ]
‘Too low? Is it because they have been here for a long time already? Tsk…’ Vale could only shake his head after seeing this. There was nothing he could do about it, so he could only continue and accept what he got.
[ Extraction successful. Energy +20 Agility +0.20 Intelligence +0.15 ]
[ Extraction successful. Energy +20 Agility +0.20 Intelligence +0.20 ]
[ Extraction successful. Energy +25 Agility +0.25 Intelligence +0.15 ]
After extracting the other three, Vale continued searching for their belongings, and unfortunately, they only had Regular Mystical Items.
Perhaps, Christopher Gates had already taken their valuable items and sold them for money.
‘In any case, I still have a few weeks on me. I just need to visit a different city far from here so I can continue with my Extractions.’
Vale silently thought as he pocketed the four Regular Mystical Items that he found. They were actually rings that seemed to help Runecasters cast their Runes a lot faster. This wasn’t just a wild guess as he recalled how these people channeled their energy on these rings before casting their spells.
They may not be helpful to him, but he can still convert them into cash.
