Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy - #263 - 263 New Method?



Thud!

Priscilla dropped to the ground as her knees weakened after hearing the bad news.

The Secret Organization captured her twin brother, and none of them knew why he was targeted! At the very least, Priscilla couldn’t think of a reason at this moment.

“We will find them, Priscilla. Get yourself together. He’s definitely alive since they had a chance to kill him a while ago, but they decided to sacrifice three of their men to take him.” Cleo, the captain of the sixth squad, explained to the young student.

He went here with a few members of the squad to inform Priscilla of the situation and to ask her if she had an idea why Philip was taken away.

However, he failed to consider her emotions since they were in a hurry.

A female squad member immediately went to Priscilla’s side and consoled her.

“Priscilla, I’m Bell from the Ames Clan… You know that we’re experts in curses and hexes. I managed to Curse one of the people who captured your brother. It could last for six hours, so I’m sure we’ll know their base soon. We’ve already sent people to track them and informed the Vessels outside to be on guard. Right now, we just need information on why he was captured. Do you have any idea?” Bell asked in a soft voice.

“Let’s first bring her to the infirmary. There are also many ears here.” Cleo suggested as Priscilla was still unable to answer.

Bell agreed to this as she assisted Priscilla.

The whole class had, of course, heard their conversation so all of them could sympathize with their classmate.

Maya, who was seated in the front row, couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

The Hoffman family may have produced strong Spellcasters like the Headmaster, but there were plenty of stronger Spellcasters from other families.

One of them was obviously her family.

‘Philip was targeted by the Secret Organization? Is it because of his talent? That’s weird. He seemed just like an above-average student. He wasn’t outstanding in any way.’ Maya pondered as she couldn’t think of a reason why a powerful criminal organization suddenly targeted Philip.

They even sacrificed so many powerful Arcanists just to take him with them!

‘They also had plenty of chances when Philip was outside the Academy. Why didn’t they capture him at that time and wait for him to enter the Academy?’ Maya couldn’t help but feel suspicious of this unusual event.

It seems that they were missing something but she could only hope that this will also be noticed by the members of the Vessel.

At the moment, she had no plans of getting involved further as she needed to focus on her own growth.

In the meantime, Vale was delighted after realizing that he just extracted a Transformation Spell.

“I’m quite lucky…” Vale muttered as he checked the Spell Models within his body.

He got the Human Shapeshift Spell, and he was already satisfied with that. There was even an incomplete Object Transformation Spell from his extraction a while ago, but he rejected it since it would just unnecessarily occupy his limited Spell Light.

Apparently, there are different Transformation Spells for Humans, Objects, Plants, Animals, and some Creatures. Considering this, getting the transformation spell for humans was quite lucky for him.

As for Mark, Vale didn’t get much from him besides the incomplete Spell Light that at least completed one of his unfinished Spell Lights, adding another slot for him.

As for the Spell Model, it was an incomplete Push Force Spell that he also rejected. This Mystic Art’s Spell can only push the target, and the force would depend on your energy.

It was quite useful in some way but not for him, so he didn’t hesitate to trash it.

“Vale… Can you check the whole Academy to see if other Shapeshifters are still lurking around?” Headmaster Jean suddenly asked, interrupting Vale’s thoughts.

“Y-yes, Headmaster.” Vale immediately answered.

However, as he was about to leave the place, Ashe suddenly appeared in front of him.

Vale felt nervous as he obviously did something quite unacceptable to this woman. He experimented on her and extracted not only her attributes but also her Spell Model and Spell Lights.

She certainly worked hard on these things, so Vale knows that she had probably been stressed out after learning what had happened.

“Is there something I can help you with?” Vale asked with a fake smile.

“Heh… You can act so innocent, huh… It doesn’t look like you could destroy other people’s Spell Models.” Ashe said while smirking.

As expected, this woman wanted to get revenge.

Vale wanted to apologize for that, but Ashe interrupted him.

“I don’t mind that you destroyed my Spirit Vision spell. I also wanted to replace it with a better spell. It was perfect for me.”

“…”

Vale was dumbfounded as she stared at the woman carefully. He wanted to see if she was being sarcastic.

Ashe noticed his reactions as she smiled. “Since you can destroy a Spell Model safely, can I ask you to destroy my friends’ Spell Models as well?”

“…”

Vale didn’t immediately understand what was going on. It took him a few more seconds to process what she had just said.

“You want me to destroy others’ Spell Models?” Vale repeated as his mind raced.

Indeed, there are many Spellcasters who made stupid decisions when they were young and recorded pathetic Spell Models.

Even if they are not Pathetic, perhaps these Spells were already useless to them or wouldn’t work in their combination of Spells anymore.

There could also be other reasons, like finding a better spell, or they just wanted to free up one of their Spell Lights.

With Vale’s extraction, he can indeed safely remove this from them!

Unfortunately! He doesn’t have that kind of precision ability yet!

His Extractions at the moment are random. He couldn’t control what he should extract or what he should not.

‘No… Perhaps, I’m not using the system properly? Am I too reliant on its auto-extraction process? Can I actually control my extraction? Am I wasting its full potential?’

Vale straightened his back at this thought as an idea popped into his mind.
