Chapter 382 Design
“Professor Morton, I completed my design. Please take a look.” Vale said as he approached the Professor.
As soon as he did this, his classmates immediately stopped what they were doing and watched the Professor. They wanted to know whether Vale would also have his design rejected like many of them.
Professor Morton, his aged eyes twinkling with anticipation, observed the paper in Vale’s hands. He knew very well that Vale didn’t just have abnormal Attribute Strands but also talent in Dark Arts.
“Let’s see what you have, Vale. I’m expecting something good.” Professor Morton acknowledged.
Vale presented his Magic Circle, its intricate patterns and pentagrams captivating all who beheld it. The design seemed to dance with a life of its own, pulsating with an otherworldly energy.
‘You embedded an intent on the paper?’ Professor Morton was a bit surprised as he realized that Vale’s Spirit Strands seemed to have reached 40 Spirit Strands already!
The one he just made was quite similar to the book on the second floor of the Library in terms of quality! The book there had some intent coming from the authors, allowing their readers to immediately understand the book’s essence!
In short, the paper that Vale was holding deserved to be placed on the second floor of the Vermont Academy’s Library!
“Y-you… Do you know what you just did with this paper?” Professor Morton stuttered as he asked Vale.
Vale, on the other hand, was frozen by Professor Morton’s reaction.
‘Did I fail?’ Vale said in his mind as he realized that Professor Morton’s anticipation had changed into a shocked expression as if he couldn’t bear to see the design he had made.
‘Where did I go wrong? Is it because I combined a few things I’ve learned in my extracted memories? Vale thought.
During his time in the Dark Soul Tower, he obtained some random pieces of knowledge, including the Magic Circle Designs.
Vale could only sigh as he answered the Professor’s question.
“It’s my design, Professor. I know that a part of it hasn’t been discussed in our lessons yet, but I made some advanced studies… In any case, according to what I’ve learned, this Magic Circle could simply summon an Imp that would perform Illusions for its summoner. This Infernal Being might be dangerous in normal circumstances, but the Magic Circle contains the Seal of the Silver Star, so it won’t be able to do anything else aside from performing weak illusions until the effect of the circle is gone.”
“No… I’m not talking about that, Vale. I think that this paper had an Intent on it… Only special practitioners can plant their Intent in things they drew or written. Anyone including those without the knowledge of the Arcane, would easily understand what you were trying to convey once they see this. It’s quite similar to the book on the second and third floors of the Library.”
Vale was stunned by the Professor’s praise. He had a chance to enter the second floor of the Library before, so he was well aware of what the books could do on that floor!
‘Did I not notice it since I’m the one who made it?’ Vale thought. 𝓪.𝒄𝒎
His classmates who were waiting for the Professor’s evaluation were also surprised. Professor Morton had barely glanced at the paper and was already shocked! He didn’t have to say directly, but Vale’s design might be incredible.
Seeing that Vale was indeed unaware of how great the paper was, Professor Morton decided to calm down. He must report it to the Headmaster later.
He no longer doubts Vale’s talent at all.
“Thank you, Professor. I didn’t realize it had reached this level. I must consider myself fortunate,” Vale responded with a smile, though Professor Morton sensed that luck alone couldn’t have brought about such a remarkable achievement.
With a sigh, Professor Morton decided to delve deeper into studying the Magic Circle that Vale had presented.
As he examined the design, he recognized it as a simple Abyss Circle capable of summoning an Imp. However, what fascinated him was the additional feature of enhanced illusion abilities bestowed upon the summoned Imp. Professor Morton appreciated Vale’s decision to incorporate the Seal of the Silver Star, a symbol that could control and limit the Imp’s actions.
“This is an intriguing combination, Vale…” Professor Morton commented, though he noted a practical flaw in the design. “While the inclusion of the Silver Star is commendable, it may prove too potent, even capable of suppressing a Death Knight. Nevertheless, it remains suitable for use in certain situations.”
Vale breathed a sigh of relief, relieved to hear Professor Morton’s positive assessment of his Magic Circle design. 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t
His classmates, witnessing the exchange, applauded and expressed their curiosity, eager to examine Vale’s creation.
They immediately asked him if they could have a look.
Observing the growing interest, Professor Morton intervened, suggesting that Vale place the design on the table for everyone to explore.
“If it’s alright with you, Vale. Just place the design on the table so everyone can take a look.”
After hearing this, Vale didn’t hesitate to agree. He was planning to show it to his friends anyway. So he might as well show it to everyone who wanted to gain some inspiration.
As Vale placed the design on the table, the atmosphere in the classroom shifted, becoming bustling and lively. Students gathered around, examining the Magic Circle with great interest. They began to grasp the significance of Professor Morton’s earlier remarks, experiencing the sensations of information being transmitted directly to their minds.
‘So this is the intent that the Professor mentioned.’
‘How mystical… Did he cast a spell on it?’
‘This is incredible… This wasn’t even taught in our class yet. Just how did he learn to do this…’
In awe of Vale’s accomplishment, their perception of him transformed. They now recognized the difficulty involved in creating such a design, with some even unaware that such possibilities existed.
In the end, the class took a lot more time as they tried perfecting their Magic Circle. The two-hour class wasn’t enough, and they had to continue this activity in the next lesson.
