Novel Full Chapter 69 Spirit Of The Mirror
“Rune Blessing?” Vale repeated. He wasn’t interested in Neil’s identity. Whether he’s an illegitimate son or even an adopted son, he doesn’t care.
However, the Rune Blessing is new to him… He looked at Chad Bulmung hoping that he knows about it but unfortunately, he only shook his head.
He was also clueless about the Rune Blessing.
Luckily, Blair Etton was close to them and was able to explain what it was.
“Rune Blessing is similar to our Darkness Possession…” He explained in a few words.
Professor Harrison heard this as well and immediately found a way to divert the topic. It’s not good to stay on the topic of Neil’s identity. 𝑖𝘳.𝒸ℴ𝑚
“Ahem… Blair was right. The Rune Blessing is indeed similar to our faction’s Darkness Possession, it’s their ritual before accepting a practitioner. If you’re curious, the Elemental Arts Faction has Elemental Baptism. The Alchemy Arts Faction has Fire Infusion. The Summoning Arts Faction has Grimoire’s Election and the Mystic Arts Faction has Mystical Law’s Trial to name a few.”
Vale and the others repeated these rituals in their minds as they found this topic quite interesting. As someone who had suffered from the Darkness Possession, they were obviously curious about the other Arcane Paths.
“It’s my first time hearing about this.”
“Me too. These things weren’t in any books I’ve read.”
“I wonder if we can also walk on this path even if we already completed the Darkness Possession.”
“Hah… That’s possible if you want your body to collapse and die painfully.”
Professor Harrison also agreed to this. “That’s right. You can’t walk on two paths or your body will be unable to support your life.”
“Yes, Professor. We’re only joking about it.” Junius said as he fixed his reading glass.
In any case, learning the names of the other path’s rituals felt like their horizons are broadening… They also wanted to ask the professor what was being done in those rituals she mentioned but at this time, Neil has already recovered and started to call for Vale’s participation.
“I think Vale is now ready to participate. Since I’ve done my part, I hope that our strongest classmate will not back out.” Neil said interrupting everyone’s thoughts.
Of course, now that they gained some juicy information from Neil thanks to the mirror, everyone was now interested to hear Vale’s information.
Vale glanced at him for a moment before shaking his head. It seems that he had truly offended this guy for having a record-high Spirit Strand.
To be honest, he was also a bit worried after watching Neil’s performance. He had realized that Neil had wanted to unhand the mirror the moment it spoke but he failed to do so.
It seems that after completing the chant or the ritual to call for the mysterious existence, there would be 10 to 15 seconds where Mennena can’t be interrupted while talking.
Only after passing this mark will he be able to release the mirror and cut it off from speaking.
“Vale, are you ready?” Professor Harrison asked.
“Yes, Professor…” Vale answered as he stood up from his seat.
“Don’t be nervous… If you feel that your energy is being consumed, don’t panic, and just let it be. It’s normal to happen during a ritual since every time you call for a mysterious existence through a Mystical Item, something must be traded in exchange. In this case, the mirror will require your energy to be consumed in exchange.” Professor Harrison reminded.
Vale nodded in acknowledgment before he started the ritual.
“Esteemed ArchFey of the Third Era, the 13th Warden of the Spirit World, the current Spirit of the Pristine Mirror, grant me your audience… In accordance with the vow, a practitioner of the Darkness Path will find the light within the darkness and it’ll outshine even the darkest of shades.”
Vale recited calmly as he observe the changes in the mirror. He didn’t mind the slight decrease in his energy since he was quite used to it.
Then, the room suddenly turned quiet as everyone wanted to hear the existence’s assessment of Vale. Even his new friends were curious about this matter so they all waited with bated breath.
“Hmm? You’re using Vale—” Mennena didn’t even finish speaking before Vale cut her off.
“Esteemed ArchFey Mennena, it’s an honor to meet you.” Vale interrupted.
Since he can’t unhand the object, he decided to engage in a conversation instead!
Furthermore, Vale mentioned Mennena’s name since according to the advanced book he read, this is the best way to communicate with the existence they called.
It must be remembered that the ritual itself doesn’t include Mennena’s name. However, before the activity began, Professor Harrison purposedly mentioned the existence’s name and he believed that it was for this reason!
It was to directly communicate with existence instead of letting it rant whatever it wanted to say.
Professor Harrison’s eyes lit up after seeing Vale unafraid of communicating with the existence in the mirror.
‘I guess he obtained that 25 Spirit Strand for a reason…’ Shirley mused as she looked at Vale with interest.
In her previous classes over the past few years, it was normal for her to see terrified students after seeing that the Mirror would somehow emit a feminine voice.
Furthermore, the reflection that’ll you’ll see in the mirror will still be your face that seems to have been possessed by the spirit of the mirror… It was quite creepy and only those who were holding the mirror would understand the terrifying experience.
“Oh? So you know my name… Very well, I can tell that you have a very strong desire to find corpses. Why is that? Are you planning to be a Necromancer?” Mennena asked.
“Ahem… I haven’t decided what to specialize in as of yet. Do you have a recommendation?” Vale replied politely ignoring the first question.
“I don’t recommend Necromancy. Just become a normal Dark Spellcaster. Ugh, what’s with your Spell Model? It’s weird. I can’t make a recommendation for your set of spells if you have that.”
Vale immediately understood that Mennena saw through his first Spell Model. He didn’t reply to that as he decided to end their conversation.
He’s still uncomfortable since his whole class is listening to his conversation with the mirror.
