Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel



Avery's words answered many of their questions.

Since they were still in their first year, they didn't have classes related to other Arcane Paths yet.

It seems to be a subject that will be discussed in the third year. Thankfully, Avery answered their question and allowed them to learn about the other Arcane Path in advance.

"So it was like that… Senior, did you try to enroll in that academy?" Philip asked out of nowhere.

"What? Of course not. I just learned about it in class. But…" Avery paused for a moment before continuing with a lower voice.

"I got myself tested and confirmed that I also have an affinity with Fire Element. Kehehe… If my body rejected the Darkness Possession at that time, my family would probably send me to that place." Avery revealed her secret with a delightful tone.

"Senior Avery, I heard that your family supplies a quarter of the Serenity Scrolls to the whole Dark Arts Faction, is that really fine?" Priscilla asked curiously.

This time, Vale was simply listening silently since he had no idea about Avery's family. He doesn't even know her last name.

Avery smiled brightly after realizing that her juniors know about her family's business.

"You're right… We supply Serenity Scrolls and we're protected by the Dark Sorcerer Refuge thanks to that. However, we haven't been prohibited to study other Arcane Paths except for the Psychic Arts, Holy Arts, Transformation Arts, Beast Arts, and Summoning Arts."

"This is the first time I've heard about this…" Priscilla said as she looked at Vale.

"It's also my first time hearing about these exclusions. However, I at least know that Rune Arts Faction has a decent connection with the Dark Arts Faction since one of my classmates is actually from a prestigious family in the Rune Arts Faction." Vale said referring to Neil Sommerhalder…

"Right… We also have a classmate from a small but powerful family deeply connected to the Mystic Arts Faction. I wonder what's wrong with those five Arcane Paths…" Philip muttered.

He can understand the Holy Arts Faction's exclusion since they truly have a bad record in the Dark Arts Faction, however, he doesn't know much about the other four so he felt curious about it. He's already thinking of asking Professor Stella Harrison later on.

***

Soon, as dinner time came, the whole inn had temporarily closed to serve the members of the Vermont Academy.

There were a total of sixty people within the inn which is not even half of the people who had dismounted from the Academy's Airship…

Apparently, they had other places to go and only disembarked at this city since this is the only place with a dockyard in the vicinity.

As they were all chatting about their successful missions within the city and that they would earn a couple of contribution points because of this, Professor Russel Ravinie suddenly cleared his throat and caught everyone's attention.

"Ahem… Before you all start your celebration, I think we need to address an important matter." As he said this, the waitresses were still serving the meals for everyone.

Some of the students were listening and some had already started eating.

At this moment, they realized that the five professors that went with them to this city all had a serious looks on their faces.

Before Professor Russel can continue to explain, Professor Stella already spoke.

"Professor, I think we've already discussed that we'll let the Headmaster be informed about this matter once we returned to the Academy. We don't have to ruin the mood here, do we?" She asked with a cold voice. It appears that she was disappointed that Professor Russel suddenly brought this up on this occasion.

Professor Russel simply smiled as he looked at the young and beautiful professor.

"It's fine… Now that I think about it, I don't think we should trouble the Headmaster for this simple matter. The students of the Rakmiths Academy were attacked by our students. According to their professors, many of them were injured. They were even robbed and their students testified that their Elemental Talismans and other Mystical Artifacts were stolen. Shouldn't we try to resolve this matter as quickly as possible since we're aiming to boost our reputation?"

Professor Russel replied revealing the incident that had happened this afternoon.

"What? Someone from our group attacked those from Rakmiths Academy?" A seventh-year student frowned as he heard the Professor's claims.

He couldn't believe it since he knows all of the sixth-year and seventh-year students who had come here to accomplish a few missions.

Well, if anyone would attack the Elemental Arts Practitioners, he believed that they would be the sixth-year or seventh-year students like him… After all, the first-year to third-year students were incredibly weak with their pathetic Elementary Realm spell. At most, it can be used to prank people.

As for fourth-year to fifth-year students, they might have some bit of skills after learning in their branch specialization but they wouldn't have the guts to test it against other people yet.

The fifth year is when you were constantly defeated in mock battles and would make you completely humble...

Only when you reach your sixth year and attended the Twelve Academy Competition will you gain your confidence back. After all, in that place, you will realize how powerful you are once more after fighting against the students of other weak Academies.

Professor Russel nodded seriously at the student who spoke before he shifted his gaze to Vale.

"That's correct… It seems that a group of freshmen in our Academy ambushed the first-year and second-year students of the Rakmiths Academy. Over 30 of them were injured and I was informed that a spell similar to Ghost Hands seemed to have been used to strangle them… According to the testimonies we heard, it was Vale Chambers' group who did this. There are professors of the Rakmiths Academy outside, would you like to answer them first?" Professor Russel said as he looked at Vale.

This time, Professor Stella intervened before Vale and his companions can even speak.

"Professor Russel, I think you should also mention how suspicious their claims are and they might be simply looking for trouble."
