Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

‘What’s with this Aura?’ Professor Stella silently thought as she looked at Vale’s Cloak of Darkness.

Many other students had tried to create a cloak, mantle, or cape that was made of Dark Energy a while ago. However, only Vale’s Cloak seemed natural as it swayed perfectly around him.

Furthermore, the Aura that was emitting out of it appeared to be pure Dark Energy.

As she was inspecting Vale’s cloak, Stella suddenly heard a voice inside her head.

‘Mhmm… The Aura is similar to the Dark Spirits. Did he assimilate with his Dark Spirit, Stella?’

It was Professor Zara Zane who had asked.

Stella shook her head and replied. ‘I’m not aware of it, Zara. I also can’t feel the presence of the Dark Spirit, so I’m sure that he wasn’t borrowing its powers.’

‘I see… Cyrus and Mark are thinking the same thing. I guess Vale just had a natural affinity with the Dark Attribute.’

‘Oh… What are their thoughts? Their faces don’t look good.’ Stella asked.

‘They were curious about the cloak… It doesn’t seem like it is made for a defensive move. We’re trying to inspect it, but it’s too pure… or something is blocking us from inspecting it.’

‘Alright… Do you want me to ask him about it?’ Stella asked as she was also curious.

‘No need. Just let him finish. It’ll be embarrassing if we can’t even probe the cloak he made.’ Zara said as she looked at Vale curiously.

She didn’t mention it to Stella, but she actually had another guess why they couldn’t probe Vale’s cloak of darkness.

‘Does he also have an Advanced Realm Mastery over the spell? Isn’t it too ridiculous? Ugh… What am I thinking…’ Zara shook her head to erase her random thoughts.

Stella didn’t know what she was thinking as she could only nod and let Vale continue. 𝒊𝒃.𝙢

The other students watching him also felt shocked after seeing Vale’s Darkness Manipulation Spell.

The Dark Aura that his cloak was emanating was something familiar after all.

“This is too sinister… It’s almost as if he’s an Evil Creature.”

“Ahh… Now that you mention it, there’s a semblance.”

“Fools… That’s definitely an aura similar to the Death Knights, not Evil Creature.”

“Isn’t that the same?”

“Both of you are wrong… That’s definitely an Aura from the Spirit World! I promise!”

“It’s the Aura of Corruption!”

The students started arguing in suppressed voices as they tried guessing what they were seeing and feeling.

Vale heard them clearly but simply ignored them and continued with his second spell.

As soon as he canceled the first spell, everyone watched him with bated breath as they were curious about his next spell. After all, most of them know about Vale’s story…

At the beginning of his first year, he was known by his batch because of his high Spirit Strands, which exceeded Maya’s score.

Then, he became known as someone who had his talent depleted and could no longer improve. After reaching his second year, his amazing Power Strands and Life Strands were known by everyone.

Now, they wanted to see whether he still deserved his title as a genius.

‘Let’s see what you got, Vale…’ Maya thought as she watched Vale cast his second spell. She was actually infuriated at him after he decided not to meet her Master to discuss something about Cressida’s disappearance.

In the meantime, Vale raised his hand and whispered a few words to cast his second spell.

The Second Spell was something he had hastily leveled up by a few times just a few minutes ago.

It was the Moonlight Curse that he had extracted from Neil!

He pointed his palm toward the ceiling, creating a bright sphere of light that hovered above him. The sphere emitted a silvery glow that filled the entire hall with moonlight.

The students and the professors who were watching his performance gasped in awe and fear as they felt the curse of the moonlight seeping into their bodies. They felt their skin turning pale and their veins black, their energy, or perhaps stamina, being drained by the spell.

“What is he doing? He’s cursing everyone in the hall!” One of the students shouted as he immediately realized what was going on. He was familiar with the Aura emitted by the spell since he also had an early-stage Elementary Realm of this same spell.

“W-why is the Isolation Formation Art not working?!” Zara jolted as she stood up from where she was seated. She also recognized the spell as soon as the bright sphere of light appeared. However, she wasn’t worried at first and was only alarmed as soon as she felt that she was also affected by the curse!

The stage had a Formation Circle to ensure that any curse, hexes, dark magic, or anything related to dark arts wouldn’t harm the audience. They didn’t notice that it was broken, so they failed to react quickly.

“Stop him! Stop him now!” Professor Mark Morton yelled as he prepared to cast a spell. He didn’t bring any Mystical Item with him, so he would have a slower casting speed than the other professors.

“Is he insane? This Moonlight Spell is too risky. It comes with a price… He’s risking his own life and everyone else’s with this spell!” Professor Cyrus said as he raised his hand to cast a spell and stop the Moonlight Curse.

Nevertheless, amidst the panic that Vale’s performance created, some students were still enjoying the scene, deserving to be called a student of the Dark Arts.

“Wow, he’s amazing! He’s using a Dark Spell that affects everyone in such a large area!” One student exclaimed.

“Awesome… It can affect so many people. Is this an Advanced Realm? I can feel I’m being cursed.”

“He’s affecting over a hundred people at the same time… What a fearsome Spell!”

“Vale! You can stop now. We know that you’re the best already. Cough… Cough…” 𝒊.𝒄𝒎

Vale smirked as he saw the effect of his Dark Spell affecting everyone in the hall.

He had shown them a power spell and hoped that he’d get the Contribution Points reward for this examination.

It didn’t take that long before the professors quickly cast a counter-spell, purifying the moonlight curse and restoring everyone’s health.

They were shocked and angry at Vale’s reckless and dangerous act, but they also had to admit that he was a talented and formidable student.
