Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

“Y-yes, Professor… I was just curious if you missed something from the list.” Vale said as he looked at the list once more.

The items were so random. He didn’t expect that she would give such a simple instruction. He was only told to run an errand in exchange for the Soul Bonding Method, which was a valuable piece of knowledge. He wouldn’t even mind using his Contribution Points to purchase this knowledge.

“Now that you said it, let me add a few more things. Give me the paper.” Professor Evans said as Vale handed the paper.

Vale wanted to slap his mouth for saying those words as the Professor indeed added a few more things! 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚

“Here… I’ll give you until later tonight to get all the things here. You can leave now.” Professor Evans said after writing for a couple of minutes.

Vale just briefly glanced at the items before he nodded. “Yes, Professor! Thank you for your guidance!”

As soon as he left the room, he immediately checked the items on the list.

The list included things like:

A dozen fresh eggs

A pound of bacon

A loaf of bread

A jar of honey

A bottle of milk

A bag of coffee beans

A box of tea leaves

A bunch of bananas

A basket of strawberries

A cake with chocolate frosting

A pack of candles

A spool of thread

A pair of scissors

A needle and a thimble

A book of crossword puzzles

A deck of cards

A bottle of perfume

A silk scarf

A pair of earrings

‘What the… It’s just filled with random items. Is she being serious?’ Vale sighed at this as he had no choice but to follow her for now.

In any case, he had earned a lot of money before, so he didn’t mind spending even a couple of thousand. Furthermore, the things she was searching for weren’t Mystical Items, so he wouldn’t have to spend a lot of money. He only needs to spend his time searching for all of them.’

‘It will probably take me a few days to get all of this on my own.’ Vale thought as he decided to get some help.

As he was thinking who to ask, he recalled something important… It was a perfect time to use his connections with other people.

With a plan in his mind, he immediately went out of the Academy to visit Vice Captain Ashe. Since he already had a lot of practice, he’s already quite confident doing some Focused Extractions.

Furthermore, Vice Captain Ashe had a lot of helpers in the dockyard. Most of them didn’t have many things to do, especially if no Airships were docking or leaving the yard.

As soon as Vale’s figure appeared in the dockyard, Vice Captain Ashe immediately sensed his presence as she quickly went out to welcome Vale.

“Hey! I thought you’d already forgotten about our deal!”

“There’s no way I’d forget that. Thanks to your suggestion, I was able to learn more about my Spell.”

The two then continued chatting for a while as Ashe escorted Vale inside her squad’s office. Currently, Captain Cleo could not be seen as he left on a mission together with two other members of their squads.

Soon, Vale informed Ashe about the list of items he needed to purchase. He explained that he wouldn’t be asking for a fee if she could help him collect them before sunset.

“Mhmmm? They’re quite simple to find… Alright, I have someone take care of it.” Vice Captain Ashe said as she didn’t even question why Vale needed those things.

She just called for someone who seemed to be a porter working in the dockyard and handed over the list to him.

Vale then recalled the money needed to purchase these things. He planned to provide the required cash, but before he could fork out his money, Vice Captain Ashe gave the porter a bundle of cash.

“Alright! I’ll call the others now. How long do you think you need to do the cleansing?”

“Cleansing? It sounded as if I would be exorcising them… Anyway, I needed at least five minutes or so.” Vale answered.

“Only five minutes? That’s quick?” Ashe replied in shock as she asked Vale a few more questions. She had already used a signal to ask her friend to come and they were just waiting for them to arrive.

After 15 minutes or so, a group of people finally arrived. There were a total of four people, and all of them were girls. Ashe had certainly called her small group of friends.

They all looked excited as they were looking forward to removing their unused or already useless Spell Models.

“Ashe! We’re here! I’m so excited…”

“Ahh? Is it this kid?”

“Impressive. He looks so young! I can’t believe he bested you in your duel.”

“Ashe, are you sure we’re not interrupting your conversation? Ahem, we can arrive later, after an hour.” The last girl said as she looked at Ashe and Vale with a meaningful smile on her face.

The three other girls also changed their expressions as they looked at Ashe with wide eyes.

“Hey! Are you being serious now?” Ashe shook her head as she introduced Vale to them.

“This is Vale Chambers. I must remind you all that you can’t underestimate him. He already removed my Spirit Vision Spell Model, and you can look at me now. I’m all good. Aside from being weakened for a while, I didn’t suffer permanent injury whatsoever.” Ashe explained, just in case they were doubting the young man in front of them.

Vale politely nodded at the girls who were older than him. He could tell that they were members of the Order as well, but they seemed to be on a different squad.

“Alright! Start with me, Vale. I just want to remove my Dead Heart Spell Model.”

The girl who said this has tanned skin and reddish hair. She also had a few scars on her slim body. As soon as she announced what Spell Model she wanted to remove, her friends seemed shocked as they looked at her with an inquisitive gaze.

“Hey, stop staring at me like that. Dead Heart Spell may be a decent life-saving Spell, but I already found a Mystical Item that could replace that. If I could use my Spell Light for something else, then that’s better. You all know that I’ve wanted to record a strong Curse Spell, right?”
