Chapter 384 More Recommendations

As Lisa’s name was called, the students stopped chatting as they were also curious about her.

Although she doesn’t have any connection to the Dark Arts Faction, her achievements over the past year couldn’t be denied. All eyes were fixed on her as Professor Harrison revealed her recommendation.

“Lisa, after careful deliberation, the professors have put forth two potential branches for your consideration.” Professor Harrison announced, her voice carrying a tone of assurance.

“You have shown exceptional promise in two areas: the Essential Corruption Branch and the Dark Alchemy Branch. Both hold unique opportunities for your growth and exploration within the realm of Dark Arts.”

‘Two Branches of Dark Arts?’

‘Does it mean that she was that awesome?’

‘No… That’s now how you measure her talent. Perhaps she’s just that plain, so she wouldn’t excel in one Branch.’

A murmur of intrigue rippled through the classroom as Lisa listened to the Professor.

Professor Harrison continued, shedding light on the reasoning behind the recommendation. “In the Essential Corruption Branch, your academic performance has been commendable, showcasing a deep understanding of the intricacies of manipulating corruptive energies. Your Spirit Strands, according to Professor Lucius, exhibit a natural affinity for the darker forces… It means that you might be capable of connecting with the Evil Creatures.”

She paused briefly before shifting her focus to the second recommendation, the Dark Alchemy Branch. “On the other hand, your unwavering dedication to the art of alchemy and your meticulous attention to detail have not gone unnoticed. The Dark Alchemy Branch holds the promise of honing your skills in the delicate transmutation of substances.”

Lisa nodded at this as her mind raced with the possibilities that lay before her: the Essential Corruption Branch, with its allure of harnessing malevolent energies, or the Dark Alchemy Branch, where the secrets of transformative potions, pills, and others awaited her.

Although her mind was in the Dark Alchemy Branch, she also couldn’t help but recall that Lesley was known for being an expert in two branches. They were the Rituals Branch and the Dark Alchemy.

‘Perhaps I should also have expertise in two branches?’ Lisa mused as she reconsidered her future plans.

She may not think twice if she only had one option, but having two recommendations from the Professors gave her confidence that she might have the same talent as Lesley.

“Remember, Lisa, this is not a unanimous agreement among the professors. The final choice rests with you, and it is a reflection of your aspirations and the path you wish to embark upon. Consider your passions, your strengths, and the future you wish to create within the Dark Arts.” Professor Harrison concluded.

Lisa nodded, a mixture of thoughtful contemplation evident in her eyes.

The recommendations continued, and after a few minutes, there were only a few students who hadn’t been called yet.

“Felicia, the professors have unanimously agreed to recommend you to the Rituals Branch…”

Felicia’s eyes widened with a mixture of surprise and pride while Jody, her best friend, listened intently. She could already tell that their destinies were taking separate turns.

“Jody….” Professor Harrison continued. “After careful consideration, the professors have recommended you to the Dark Magic Branch. Your exceptional grasp of spellcasting and natural aptitude for manipulating dark energies have been exceptional.”

‘Indeed…’ Jody silently thought. They were both recommended for the path they wanted to take.

Nevertheless, the once inseparable pair of friends were about to be split up, their paths diverging in the realm of Dark Arts.

A somber silence settled upon them as the realization sank in.

Felicia and Jody exchanged glances. They could only hope that they’d remain friends even after going on a different path.

Soon, it was Roswell and Larry’s turn. They were the lackeys of the missing Neil Sommerhalder.

It was quite surprising since both of their names were called at once. However, it was no surprise that they were both recommended to the Necromancy Branch, given their families’ long-standing affinity for the Dark Arts Branch. The legacy of necromancy ran deep within their bloodlines, and their destiny seemed preordained.

Soon, it was Aubrey Hall’s turn. Coming from a wealthy family of merchants, she entered the Academy with an open mind, ready to embrace whichever path the Professors deemed suitable for her.

Professor Harrison’s voice resonated. “Aubrey, the professors have recommended you to the Necromancy Branch.”

‘Necromancy Branch? How did I get recommended for that? Can I use my money to get a stronger summoned?’ Aubrey wryly smiled as she shook her head.

Her initial surprise quickly transformed into a sense of acceptance. Her family’s merchant background may have seemed inappropriate for this path, but the professors had probably recognized something within her.

Professor Stella noticed Aubrey’s nonchalant expression and thought that Aubrey wouldn’t take the recommendation seriously.

With this in mind, she immediately gave a piece of advice, her voice carrying a blend of wisdom and insight.

“Aubrey, Necromancy, at its core, is not solely about the manipulation of death and the afterlife. It encompasses the delicate balance between life and death, the cycles of existence, and the understanding of the energies that intertwine them. You might enjoy this Branch more than the others, so think carefully.”

“I understand, Professor. I’ll think about this carefully.” Aubrey replied.

After her, there were only two students left. They were Chad and Vale.

As Vale thought that he would be called last, he suddenly heard his name being called.

“Vale Chambers…” Professor Harrison announced.

“Most of the Professors have recommended you to take the Rituals Branch.”

A collective gasp filled the room as the students absorbed this unexpected turn of events. Whispers of surprise and speculation reverberated among them…

‘Rituals Branch?’

‘How come he got recommended with this branch?’

‘Not sure… Perhaps this Branch is better than I thought?’

With Vale’s current strength and talent, they thought that he would be recommended to the Dark Magic Branch. It was quite unexpected that he got recommended to a branch that doesn’t excel in intense combat.

However, Professor Stella Harrison’s words did not end there, as she continued. “In addition, a select few professors have also recognized your unique potential and have recommended you to the Necromancy Branch.”𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚
