Novel Full Chapter 43 Improvement
A total of 18 bodies were extracted from the two carts filled with ordinary people.
His Vitality has now turned into 1.03 points finally exceeding a whole number!
Then, with the addition of 36 energy points from the eighteen corpses, his Available Energy is now 69 points. 𝑟.𝘤𝘰𝑚
The bodies of normal humans can only provide 2 points of energy each which seems to be the limit for their kind.
Then, Kyle continued extracting the third, fourth, and fifth carts and all of them were Spellcasters like him.
Surprisingly, his extractions this time weren’t mostly intelligence, it was mostly strength this time… 𝘪𝑟.𝘤𝑜𝘮

“Hmm… Now that I look at it, these people are all quite pale…” Kyle muttered after observing the bodies for a while.
Of course, the paleness he was talking about wasn’t similar to the paleness brought by being frozen or losing blood…
Most of the people in the town and the students in the academy were slightly tanned compared to these bodies. It’s probably because of the region they were in so he could easily tell the difference.
Furthermore, he can see their faces clearly since their death didn’t involve physical weapons. It appears that most of them died through Dark Spells…
‘Are these people actually from the south? They’re from that airship brought by the Untainted Sentinels? However, they seem too weak… They’ve only provided a small number of attributes. There’s no way they would think of attacking this place with such a weak lineup, right?’ Kyle surmised as he believes that it was too ambitious to send these levels of attackers to one of the strongholds of the Dark Arts Faction.
Anyway, he didn’t look into it too much as he decided to check whether they still have belongings in their pockets.
Unfortunately, aside from their clothes, all of them had their items taken away already. Not even a single coin was left.
“That’s enough…” Kyle muttered as he decided to check his attributes this time.
[ Name: Kyle Marshall ]
[ Attributes: Strength 6.78, Agility 5.47, Intelligence 11.82, Vitality 1.03 ]
[ Dark Arts: Spell Dispersion Lv2, Ghost Hand Lv5, Incorruptible Body Lv4 ]
[ Available Energy: 261 ]
Kyle couldn’t help but smile after seeing his progress.
He felt fortunate to be able to stay here in the workshop for several more months. Once he entered the academy, it would be a lot more difficult to extract corpses and his progress would certainly halt.
Unless he learned how to increase his attribute on his own without the help of his system, it would be difficult for him to raise his attributes.
After a couple of hours, Heinz had finished his job and instructed him to undress and line up the corpses. It didn’t take him that long thanks to his improved strength. He can now easily carry the bodies instead of just dragging them on the floor.
After a while, Kyle finally had the time to ask Heinz and satisfy his curiosity.
“Master Heinz, may I know why ordinary people are going to be incinerated here as well? If I’m not mistaken, most of the bodies being sent here were at least related to mysticism. But there were quite a lot of them who didn’t seem to have any relations to the Arcane Path…”
“Oh? So you’re sensitive to this as expected… Were you able to tell it through their physique or their blood? How did you differentiate them?” Heinz just answered with a question but Kyle was quite helpless about this. He can only answer his Master for now.
“It might be related to my physique… After touching them, I can somehow tell a slight difference between those who had started their Arcane Path and not.”
Heinz nodded at this answer and he didn’t find it weird.
“Your physique is much better than I expected. This is a good thing… In any case, the Quince Furnace that we have here is special… Any corpses will be helpful to us in making potions or even forging special steel. However, I can’t just hog all the corpses being sent to the Academy since the other departments have used them as well.”
“R-right… So even ordinary humans can be used in the furnace… You mentioned before the Necromancy Department uses corpses for their experiments, are there any other departments aside from that?”
“Of course. There’s even a department that would purposely bury some corpses and wait for them to be possessed by evil spirits and turn into evil creatures.”
“Ahhh? Isn’t that dangerous? What department was that?”
“Corruption… Essential Corruption Department.”
Kyle paused for a moment as he looked at Heinz’s face to make sure that he wasn’t joking…
‘Essential Corruption? When did corruption become essential?’ Kyle could only nod and not comment on it. In any case, he would learn about this once he started his study.
The two then chatted for a while as Kyle mentioned his meeting with the previous Vice Headmaster. As expected, the recent attack seems to be related to the changes inside the Academy.
Heinz didn’t delve too deeply into this but it’s already enough for Kyle to know that Headmaster Jean is the absolute ruler of this land.
It’s better not to get on his bad side.
***
After a couple of weeks, Kyle finally had the time to return to 4 Silver Street to take his pocket watch. It was long overdue but since he already made a downpayment, Sir Gerard was able to wait for him.
Mr. Heinz had given him plenty of tasks to get used to his Incorruptible Body so he barely has time to rest.
Now that he obtained it, Kyle couldn’t wait to inspect it. After all, this pocketwatch seems to be related to his transmigration!
