Chapter 22 Rule

'What? 30 Energy Points and 1.5 in Strength Attribute! Who is this person?' Kyle felt incredibly surprised and also happy after seeing the extraction result from his system.

It was such a huge difference!

Normal human teenagers were only worth 0.01 but this woman had given him much more than that.

Thanks to the sudden increase in his strength, another source of pain accumulated in his body but because of this, the coldness seems to have been pushed back. Instead of feeling pain, he felt comforted by this type of pain spreading throughout his body.

Kyle resisted the urge to moan in pleasure as he gritted his teeth and waited for the effects to disappear…

After several minutes, Kyle finally felt relaxed as he lay beside the naked corpse. As he opened his eyes, he realized that he can see the pale face of the female corpse and she seem to have been shot by a gun, or perhaps, something had struck her forehead with a piercing weapon.

He also noticed that she seems to be a middle-aged lady with a plump face and body…

'Ugh… Why am I even observing a corpse?'

He then realized what he was doing as he sat up and observed the changes in his body instead.

[ Name: Kyle Marshall ]

[ Attributes: Strength 2.22, Agility 3.07, Intelligence 7.05, Vitality 0.50 ]

[ Available Energy: 215 ]

'Mhmm? What's with this increase?'

Kyle was shocked as he only extracted 1.5 points of Strength from the unknown female corpse. However, he actually gained 2.0 points in his Agility and 1.06 in his Intelligence.

As he was confused about it, he recalled the Idle Mind Potion. Surprisingly, it didn't just raise his Intelligence but also his Agility.

"How is it? Do you feel some changes in your body? Kehehe… I knew that you'd survive this… You're really very special, Kyle." Heinz finally spoke after seeing him confused about his situation.

Heinz seem to be imagining what other potions he would be feeding on him!

Kyle shuddered at the thought…

"I feel stronger, Master Heinz…" Kyle answered with a faint smile.

"Stronger? Mhmm… One side effect of the potion is a slight increase in Dexterity so it's not surprising. However, you should use your Phantasm State again."

Kyle nodded as he used the Phantasm State without any issues… It only took him four seconds to enter the state.

This time, he noticed that the previous four lights in his body has turned into six lights!

It means that 2 empty slots for Dark Spells have been added!

He then checked his Magic Zone but unfortunately, there aren't any qualitative changes on it.

After canceling his Phantasm State, he looked at his master and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face. Although he has many problems with Mr. Heinz, it doesn't change the fact that he's still improving at a very alarming rate.

Just a week ago, his attributes hadn't even reached a whole point. In just a few days, all of his attribute points had exceeded one point except for his Vitality.

"I can now see six lights around my chest… There were two new lights, Master Heinz." Kyle reported.

Heinz felt genuinely happy since it's rare to have such a capacity among freshmen.

Having two is the most common among the novices. Heinz also believes that having four lights is expected of Kyle since he has a special physique like him.

"That's great… Now you can learn the Original Dark Spell that my Master and I have created and developed for the past decades… It requires five lights to record this single Dark Spell and only those with blank spells slots or those who hadn't learned any spells are capable of learning this…" Heinz spoke with a bit of melancholy in his voice.

"It has such a high requirement? Wait---Master Heinz, you aren't using this original Dark Spell?" Kyle cautiously asked.

Of course, having a new Dark Spell that isn't recorded in any books sounds impressive but it means that its negative effects would be first discovered by him.

Although Heinz may have some theories about the possible negative effects, he wouldn't be sure about it until Kyle experienced it himself. This is quite dangerous…

If possible, Kyle just wanted to learn some normal Dark Spells that barely have any side effects on the user. This is the reason why he wanted to browse several books about Dark Spells.

"I'm not using it. I already had my set of spells when we developed this original Dark Spell. " Heinz said as he closed the door leading to the Quince Furnace.

The temperature finally returned to normal as he sat behind his desk.

Before Kyle could ask about the details of this dark spell, Heinz immediately added.

"The academy doesn't accept students with three more recorded dark spells… So you can't learn other Dark Spells aside from the ones I'll be teaching you…"

"Ah? There's a rule like that?"

"Yes…" Heinz gently nodded.

"So it's normal that some freshmen students already learned how to use Dark Spells and such?" Kyle ruminated as he looked at the books he was planning to read.

"Of course. Although it was a bit chaotic before the Treaty of Keslore, there are still many families that were passing down their knowledge in this Arcane Path to their younger generation. The recruitment sites we have arranged are only for those without any background in Arcane Studies." Heinz calmly explained.

'Indeed…' Kyle felt a bit embarrassed since he forgot that not everyone was like him with a humble background.

Nevertheless, it's a good thing that he had changed and finally has a background in this Arcane Path before he officially attends the academy.
