Novel Full Chapter 88 Invitation
‘What is it this time?’ Vale frowned as he felt the young man’s gaze on him.
He was sure that he had never spoken with this guy so Vale was curious why he was staring at him like this.
However, with his cautious personality, decided not to confront the guy. He doesn’t know what was going on so it’s better to keep his silence for now and observe the situation.
After taking his tray and sitting beside Leonore, Vale finally had the chance to ask his classmates. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝘰𝑚
“Leonore, do you know why they’re looking at us?”
“Cough… Cough… Don’t include us. It’s only you.” Carmen said before Leonore could reply.
Vale was dumbfounded as he was sure that he didn’t offend anyone. He looked at the others on the seat and they nodded at him showing how they agree with Carmen’s statement.
At the table, there were a total of five people.
Vale, Leonore, Carmen, Felicia, and Jody. Vale believed that the five of them from First Year Class 2 have been attracting some attention for quite some time now. He was actually wrong.
“Hah… It’s all because of the news of the Evil Creature’s death. You don’t need me to explain further, do you?” Leonore spoke before taking a sip of the warm broth that was included in their lunch.
Vale felt a bit conflicted after realizing the reason he was getting such attention.
“Who would spread that news? Jody?” Vale asked as he looked at his red-haired classmate.
“Ahem… Even if I didn’t, it would still be known by others. Besides, it helped me get accepted into the club. Next time, if you want something to be covered in our Academy’s Publication Club, just let me know and I’ll cover it for you.” Jody said with a hint of pride in her voice.
Vale could only accept it but he was still curious why Wilfred was showing hostility. Is he also thinking of killing the Creature but he got in the way by killing it first?
After asking them about it, Carmen, Felicia, and Jody laughed together.
Vale was confused so he waited for them to explain.
“Heh heh… I think he’s angry because you got invited by Leonore to sit with us.” Carmen softly said while trying to hold her laugh.
“Indeed… He actually tried to seat with us a while ago. I think he’s interested—” Jody’s words were cut short as Leonore glared at her.
‘He has a crush on Leonore?’
Vale could only sigh as he understood what was going on. In any case, he decided to not care about Wilfred since there was no way he would ignore Leonore for Wilfred’s sake.
He unconsciously glanced at Wilfred because of this and confirmed that he was still looking at him with his burning eyes. It feels as if he wanted to tear Vale’s limbs apart!
‘Ugh… This kid is too much… Am I also like this when I was 13 or 14?’ Vale couldn’t help but recall his past life.
He remembered that when he was 13 years old, he also had a crush on someone but would certainly not act like Wilfred… He dislikes being teased by his friends and relatives if it was known.
Their difference is too huge after comparing themselves.
While eating their lunch, Vale casually chatted with the others and learned about the Clubs they’ll be joining.
While Jody had successfully joined the Academy Publication Committee, Carmen and Felicia had joined the Tea Appreciation Club.
It was quite unexpected but Vale can also imagine these graceful teenagers serving tea… They would certainly look elegant and he would love to receive their teas someday.
Cough… Cough…
Vale cleared his thoughts as he looked at Leonore. She’s from a family that is known for their Curse Spell, the Roland Curse to be exact.
Vale wasn’t sure what it was but since they gained fame because of it, he knows that it was something incredible.
He was surprised to know that instead of joining a club that specializes in Curses and Rituals, she decided to join the Fortune Telling Club!
“Do you also think it’s inappropriate?” Leonore asked Vale with a serious tone.
“Hey! We didn’t say it was inappropriate. We said it’s unexpected…” 𝘪𝑟.𝑐ℴ𝘮
“That’s right!”
Carmen and Felicia immediately corrected Leonore’s words.
“It’s the same thing…” Leonore replied.
Vale can certainly agree with the two but since Leonore decided to join the club, she must’ve thought it through.
“Fortune Telling is actually quite interesting… Did you join the club to learn it or are you already practicing some type of divination?” Vale asked.
Leonore smiled after hearing his reply. “Well, I’ve learned a little. It’s called Chiromancy… It’s by reading the shape of the hands and the lines in their palms…”
“What? Really?” Jody asked in surprise.
If possible, she might write an article about this if it was proven that Leonore was skilled in this art. She was already planning to make her friend famous!
Leonore seemed to have read her mind so she immediately shook her head and explained. “I’m just kidding… The Fortune Telling Club isn’t simple. Their President has learned a strange Dark Art called Dark Seer, it’s quite similar to the Clairvoyance of the Mystic Arts that uses Spiritual Vision or Inner Sight to look into their target.”
“Dark Seer… That sounds awesome… However, we have a limited number of spells we can learn. Are you sure you want that spell?” Carmen asked with a concerned tone.
It’s not surprising that a graduating student would only have seven or eight spell models. This is a common thing since humans have natural limits.
Furthermore, after you recorded these spell models, changing them would be almost impossible unless you have some legendary pills and medicines that will allow you to survive the backlash of your spell model destruction.
They were worried that Leonore might regret it if she decided to learn a very weird spell.
“It’s fine… I won’t be learning it that quickly. It has a high requirement anyway… I need to have 25 Spirit Strands and 5 Life Strands.” Leonore calmly explained.
“Oh! Then Vale might be capable of learning it!” Felicia said after recalling Vale has 25 Spirit Strands.
However, these words seem to be the last straw for Wilfred as he could no longer hold it in and went to their side.
His sudden actions attracted their attention.
“Are you that student Vale Chambers that have 25 Spirit Strands and a strong set of Dark Spells capable of killing Evil Creatures?” Wilfred asked with his slightly high-pitched voice.
Vale unconsciously nodded while still feeling a bit surprised.
After confirming the identity of the handsome student in front of him, Wilfred clenched his fist as he invited Vale into a duel!
