Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel

Kyle was happy after seeing that Mr. Heinz wasn't angry about being late. The old man was even smiling so he thought that everything was alright.

However, Kyle froze once hearing that he'll be consuming another potion.

Consuming potion was an unpleasant memory for him. He even courted death because of it.

'Just why?' Kyle looked at the old man to confirm that he was serious.

Heinz noticed his reaction and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's fine. It's fine. I'm the one who made this potion. I'm planning to give you three potions for this month which will help you develop quickly. Listen, not just anyone can drink the potions I've prepared for you. I even have to get permission from the Academy's Vice Headmaster before you get to drink them…"

Kyle resigned to his fate and replied.

"Of course, Master Heinz. I trust the potions you made. Thank you for taking care of me."

"Good… You have to fill your stomach first before you drink the potion." Heinz said as he gestured for Vincent to sit.

There's a loaf of bread and warm water on the table which should be his breakfast. Kyle followed his instruction and finished his meal in a few minutes.

"Master, may I know what kind of potion is that?" He asked after drinking the water.

"It's a Spirit Enhancement Potion. It may not increase your life force like what you wanted but this one can increase your intelligence by leaps and bounds! It's best to drink within 7 days after consuming the Darkness Possession potion." Heinz explained with a hint of excitement.

'So it was like that… It's indeed the right time to consume it. This potion also hinted that spirit somehow relates to intelligence… Noted.' Kyle mused as he felt that he understood one of the principles in this mystical world.

This time, Kyle's gaze shifted to Mr. Heinz and he finally noticed a hint of tiredness on the old man's face. He noticed the dark circles under his eyes and that his clothes were the same as last night.

Kyle's back straightened as he realized something.

"M-master Heinz, did you make those potions overnight?" He asked in surprise after connecting the dots. He already noticed that aside from the deep blue Spirit Enhancement Potion that Heinz was holding, there are two more potions on the side of his table.

This guy is already so old but he's still capable of pulling an all-nighter to make potions!

"Mhmm… I was entranced and didn't notice the time. I was also excited since I thought that I'll only get permission to give it to you after five days or so… In any case, that's not important. The second potion will be consumed once you fully absorbed the Spirit Enhancement potion. With your talent, it should only take you two or three weeks." Heinz explained.

"I… Thank you, Master Heinz. I will not disappoint you." Kyle replied with gratitude. This is his true feelings since he felt really blessed with Mr. Heinz guiding him.

Compared to the Darkness Possession, the name Spirit Enhancement feels mystical and beneficial to his body… He wouldn't refuse this kind of enhancement.

On the other hand, the Darkness Possession sounds like a devil will be summoned to take over his body.

"I know. Here, I will open it for you." Mr. Heinz said as he gestured for Kyle to get closer.

Heinz instructed him that once he uncapped the potion bottle, he had to consume it within ten seconds.

Kyle didn't find it weird since it probably contains mystical powers that can't be exposed to air for too long.

After confirming that Kyle understands his instruction, Heinz finally uncapped the potion.

Waaahhhh!!

An ear-piercing scream, that seems to be from a female pig that was being butchered, dazed Kyle for a moment.

He even stepped back after being surprised… If he was the one holding the potion, he must've thrown it away already!

The scream lasted for only three seconds but it almost made him piss his pants.

"M-master… I heard a scream just now." Kyle said filled with worry.

"I know… Hurry up." Heinz replied with a familiar smile on his face.

This time, Kyle is no longer feeling the warmth and fatherly figure that he was sensing before. What he felt was that Mr. Heinz is crazy!

Yes, it took him some time but he realized that this old man who keeps smiling at him isn't simply looking at him with love and care but with insanity!

Nevertheless, he had no other choice but to follow him for now. He had to get stronger if he wanted to control his fate!

After making this decision, Kyle gritted his teeth and accepted the potion… Without any hesitation, he drank the deep blue potion with a few gulps not wasting any of it.

Although he hasn't eaten any poop yet, he can somehow tell that this potion taste like a mixture of poop and pee…

For some reason, the potion doesn't have any smell but it has a very strong taste!

He wanted to vomit it out but the smiling old man in front of him made him persevere… It feels like he's going to be killed if he doesn't drink the potion.

As soon as he swallowed all the potion liquid, he wanted to ask his Master for water to clean his mouth but he suddenly felt an incredible pain in his head like he was struck by a baseball bat!

"Aaacckk!"

Kyle held his head in pain as he dropped to the ground… After a while, he could no longer endure it as he started convulsing!

He then faintly heard Mr. Heinz's voice as if he was directly speaking to his mind…

"You can endure it. You endured the Darkness Possession Potion so you can endure this as well."

Kyle felt betrayed but he has no time to curse his Master.
