Chapter 98 Amulet
“Professor, I’m not sure as well. I must be lucky since the assistants were very good at teaching.” Vale answered with a smile.
Of course, that was an obvious lie since he didn’t even properly listen to the three. 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮
“…”
The three assistants looked dumbfounded as they were sure that they can’t bring out someone’s talent with just a few words.
They know that Vale was using them to block Professor Charlotte’s further interrogation!
The Professor knows this as well as she just accepted his reason for now.
“Very well… Congratulations, you deserve this reward. With this Protector Amulet on you, even if you exceed the limit of your Phantasm State, you won’t easily receive the backlash.”
“Thank you, Professor. Can you tell me how long will it extend my duration?” Vale asked curiously as he took the amulet from the professor.
It indeed looks simple but as soon as he touched it, he realized that it was quite heavy. It seems to be about a kilogram in weight even though it was only made of a piece of wood.
‘This is quite heavy…’ Vale commented inwardly.
“The duration depends on the wearer. However, it should be about 25% of your original duration…”
Vale immediately calculated.
Since his normal Phantasm State can last up to 20 minutes, it means that he has 5 more minutes with this amulet with him!
“This is awesome… If I have another amulet will the effect stack?” Vale immediately asked.
“…”
Professor Charlotte was a bit surprised by Vale’s sudden question. Of all of the people that received this amulet, he was the only one who had asked such a question.
Most of the time, they would ask how to take care of it and ensure that the amulet remains in its top condition.
Perhaps it was because Vale was unaware that this item rarely appears, he was already thinking of getting more of them after realizing its effects.
Anyway, she still answered since the other students were also listening.
“The amulet won’t work with other similar amulets so you don’t have to possess more of them.
“I understand, professor.” 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝘮
With that said Vale returned to his position while fiddling with the amulet on his hands.
“Are there other volunteers?” Professor Charlotte asked.
After a few seconds, no one stepped forward.
“The assistants will remain here until the end of class. You can continue with your practice and try the stone platform so you can see your Magic Zone manifest.”
With that said, she decided to leave the gym with a heavy heart.
That was an amulet that costs 80,000 zen!
Her yearly salary wouldn’t be enough to cover her loss! If she wants to earn back her money, she has to do some missions assigned by the Academy. It would even be better if her research already bore fruit so she can earn plenty of money.
“Alright… You can all line up and try the stone platform…” One of the male assistants said as he saw the students not doing anything. He thought that they were just shy and doesn’t want to be the first to step up.
However, the female assistant realized that it wasn’t that…
‘Ther confidence was hit by Vale’s display of Magic Zone… They don’t want to be the next student to show their magic zone as they’ll obviously be compared to that monstrous guy…’
As she thought of this, she decided to step on the platform and spoke kindly.
“Everyone, I will show you how it’s done once more. Don’t be too shy and just try this stone platform…”
With this said, she entered her Phantasm State and showed her 20-meter magic zone to everyone. She was hoping that they’ll forget their insecurities in their magic zone and just enjoy the free time that was given to them by the professor.
Luckily, her efforts paid off as the students started forgetting Vale’s impressive performance. They tried the stone platform at the center of the gymnasium as they showed various ranges of magic zone…
According to Vale’s estimate, six meters was the shortest range while 11 meters was the highest one which was created by Dalton.
“Vale, can I inspect the amulet for a bit?” Chad Bulmung whispered as soon as everyone’s attention was placed on the stone platform.
Vale simply nodded and tossed the amulet to Chad.
The latter was surprised at the weight of the amulet as he looked at it in disbelief…
“Did you just put it in your pocket? Aren’t you afraid that it will rip it off?”
“It’s fine. Our Academy’s uniform is made of the best materials you can find in the region.” Vale answered.
He didn’t really know what the uniform was made of but he can guess that it should be made of a decent fabric.
Aubrey also joined in and inspected the amulets after noticing Vale and Chad’s actions.
After inspecting the amulet for a while, the two were satisfied as they returned the amulet to Vale. They appear as if they can’t bear to part with it so Vale couldn’t help but feel amused by their reaction.
Soon, the class was over, and they returned to their classroom.
It was finally the Physical and Health Education Class…
Similar to everyone’s expectation, they have a strong or physically fit professor in this class… He may not be that tall but everyone can tell how this middle-aged man took really good care of his physique.
“I’m Professor Vern Raycraft… You might be wondering why Spellcasters like you needed a strong physique when you can do things easily with a simple wave of your hand…” Professor Raycraft paused to look at everyone’s faces.
Seeing that they are all attentively listening, he continued.
“I’m telling all of you that this class is very important. If you want to build a strong foundation to reach the highest stage of the Darkness Arcane Path, you must listen to me and take care of your body.”
Professor Raycraft then started teaching about the subject of his class for the next two hours. Unlike the other classes that immediately went into an activity, this professor decided to just bring out his textbooks and start teaching them about their physical bodies!
