Chapter 112 Experience



Vale was unaware of their thoughts but even if knows what was in their minds, it wouldn't really matter.

As soon as the Darkness Path Class started, Vale informed Professor Lucius about his accomplishment giving the latter a bit of surprise.

Some of his classmates who didn't hear his conversation with Lisa and the others, looked at him with wide eyes.

"You succeeded? That's good to hear… Although the curse has already weakened a lot, there's no saying whether it could reappear once more. Alright, show me your Darkness Manipulation. For those who wanted to properly sense it, enter your Phantasm State as well. Your normal eyes may not work efficiently in this case."

"Yes, Professor!" The class answered as they indeed wanted to see how the Darkness Manipulation works for a beginner like Vale.

Previously, Professor Lucius showed them how the Darkness Manipulation works but his spell was already at an Intermediate Realm spell in the middle stage. It was too high level so they can't properly assess its power.

At this time, Vale also stood up and spoke in his mind.

'Enter…'

With this word as a trigger, he immediately entered his Phantasm State almost without delay.

Without any hesitation, he shifted his focus to the Spell Model representing the Darkness Manipulation Spell.

Then, he raised his left hand and showed his palm to everyone…

In a few moments, the room started getting darker as Vale accumulated the Darkness Energy in his surroundings…

By triggering this spell, he can also use the Dark Energy that he had gathered in his body but if he did this, he had to replenish it by gathering this type of energy through the help of another magic circle, potion, or pills.

For this reason, he decided to use the accumulating Dark Energy in the surroundings.

"Can you put out the lights using this spell?" Professor Lucius pointed at the ceiling and asked after seeing that Vale has decent control over his new spell.

Within the classroom, two chandeliers are lighting up the place and it will require quite a bit of skill to put them out without enough practice.

Vale was also unsure how he would do that since he never tried it before. At most, he thought of using this Spell to increase his defense against Dark Spell or at least make his target vulnerable to Dark Spells…

This is the most basic usage of Darkness Manipulation based on his previous classes.

Anyway, now that Professor Lucius gave an instruction, Vale decided to follow.

He controlled the gathered Dark Energy as he lifted his hands motioning the energy to gather at the two chandeliers.

Like a cloud of eerie shadows, the gathered energy started moving to the chandeliers very slowly.

'Not good…'

As Vale was controlling the energy, he can tell that his Spell Light isn't stable at all. Before it reaches the chandeliers, he would lose control of the Dark Energy and it would scatter everywhere.

He wasn't sure if the sudden collapse of energy would cause trouble for his classmates so he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

He immediately brought out his attributes panel and triggered the system to advance his mastery of the Darkness Manipulation Spell!

[ Consume 10 energy points to improve Darkness Manipulation? ]

'Yes!' Vale answered in his mind.

As soon as he did this, his Available Energy Points were deducted by 10 points. He now only has 460 Energy Points.

It may seem a huge number but since his expense grows exponentially, he knows that this number is too little for him.

In the meantime, Vale's action of increasing the level of his mastery didn't go unnoticed by the expert's eyes.

"W-what?" Professor Lucius suddenly stopped his hand that was about to cast a Spell.

'That's odd… I'm sure that Vale was about to fail… How come it suddenly became firm.' Lucius was confused as he looked at Vale curiously.

There were a couple of reasons he could think of. First, Vale was simply hiding his level of mastery and had no other choice but to show all he got after realizing that he can't put out the light.

The other reason is that Vale just gained enlightenment after trying his best to put out the light!

Poof… Poof…

After the Dark Energy gathered around the chandeliers, the lights were naturally put out leaving only a bit of light for them that was coming from the windows of the classroom.

Just the presence of thick Dark Energy is enough to put an imbalance in the surrounding air causing the flame to be extinguished. Vale didn't have to command it to target the lights at all.

"Well done, Vale." Professor Lucius said as he hinted for him to cancel the manipulation spell. As for Vale's secrets, he decided not to pry on it since it wasn't against the rules.

"Thank you, Professor." Vale answered as he removed his control over the gathered energy.

As he did this, the gathered darkness disappeared and the lights in the chandelier naturally came back.

'So that chandelier is a mystical item?' Vale mused as he sat back on his chair.

"I don't have any more rewards I can give you as the first student to record the Spell Model… However, you will receive good grades because of it." Professor Lucius reminded as he was worried that Vale was expecting another reward like what happened with the Evil Creature.

Vale understood this well so he thanked the professor once more.

After this small event, Professor Lucius started his class again… He thought them about his experience in recording the Spell Model and even had Vale share his experience as well.

This way, he was hoping that the class would have their Darkness Manipulation Spell recorded in their spell lights before the end of the month.

He also reminded his students about the monthly assessment that will happen on Thursday, the 31st of May.

Everyone was already aware of it. After all, tomorrow, they will have a monthly assessment in four of their subjects, the Oardic and Soineti, Intermediate Arithmetic, Fundamentals of the Magic Zone, and Physical and Health Education.

At this moment, Vale's classmates couldn't help but recall his arrogance, or maybe confidence, to perfect the Arithmetic class and get a chance to take the Class Advancement Exam!
