Chapter 122 Secret Identity



Everyone was tired after the monthly assessment…

The Intermediate Arithmetic Class made them dizzy, the Fundamentals of the Magic Zone's assessment made them feel so drained, and the Physical and Health Education made their bodies hurt.

Apparently, the professor of the last class made them exercise in the gymnasium instead of having a written exam about health and the physical body.

It seems to be very effective for their own health but it is also unlike what they have thought. They have memorized the physical activities that Arcane Arts Practitioners must do. They memorized how to stay physically fit and other various things but in the end, the assessment wasn't about memorization but an activity.

"That was so exhausting… I can't… I'm going back to my room." Aubrey said tiredly as they went out of the classroom.

As a spellcaster, she thought that she would only have to master her spells and learn how to use her Magic Artifacts. However, it was far from the truth and they have so many things to do.

"Hey, you haven't eaten yet. You didn't take your breakfast and you ate too little at yesterday's dinner. You have to force yourself to eat or it will be bad for your health. Remember what we've learned." Lisa reminded as she held Aubrey's hand.

"Ughh… Fine…" Aubrey thought of it and she indeed feels a bit hungry.

As soon as they entered the cafeteria and smelled the scent of food, Aubrey immediately felt her hunger as she even walked passed Vale and Chad to get her tray of meals first.

As their started eating, the students from other classes had also arrived as they all looked tired and hungry.

Today's monthly assessment seems really difficult for everyone.

"It's Maya… I barely see her in our cafeteria." Chad commented silently after seeing the student representative enter the cafeteria with her entourage of followers. Some of them are her classmates and a few of them were students of the higher years.

eαglesnovel`c,om Vale wanted to ignore the commotion she created just by entering the cafeteria but he can't do so…

The Dark Spirit that was hiding in his shadow suddenly reacted because of her presence.

"What?" Vale was confused as he glanced in Maya's direction.

It may have been a coincidence as Maya also briefly glanced at him the moment he raised his head to look for her.

"I knew it… She's really conscious of your presence. This is not the first time she did that, right?" Chad immediately said as soon as he noticed Maya's eyes turning to look at Vale.

"You're creepy… Why do you keep observing where she looks at?" Aubrey grunted at his words as she doesn't believe it.

She also keeps stuffing food in her mouth all this time since she wanted to finish early so she can rest on her soft bed as quickly as possible.

"Ugh… It's not that… I just can't help but notice her. You know she's beautiful. It would be even weirder if I don't look at her." Chad argued as he felt that he was just being observant and not creepy at all.

Vale smiled at this as he decided to agree with his words.

"That's normal, I guess. However, I don't think that she's conscious of me. Instead, she probably noticed something." Vale said as he ordered his Dark Spirit to keep hiding in his shadow.

For some odd reason, the Dark Spirit seems to be wary of Maya Featherstar or perhaps, the ones surrounding her.

"Kehehe… I think she wanted you to notice her improvement. Didn't Professor Stella mention that Maya has lower strands than you? I think she was working really hard to surpass you." Lisa commented on the side.

She rarely joins this kind of topic so Vale couldn't help but look at her.

"That may be so… Right, you mentioned that you'll record the Active Curse Break, how was it? I didn't hear any news after you informed us about it." Vale shifted the topic since someone might hear them talking about Maya. It might seem rude if that happens.

Luckily, his classmates understood his intention as they just talked about other things.

Lisa already recorded the Active Curse Break and Ghost Hands successfully. She had actually asked for a Professor's help to learn it first before she record the Darkness Manipulation spell.

"Which professor was it? I'll ask them as well in case I need to record another spell." Chad asked.

"It was our Professor in Arithmetic Class, Professor Ravinie…" Lisa replied.

"Ahh? He can help with Spell Recording or do you have a certain connection with him?" Aubrey asked as she was surprised to hear that Lisa was quite close to a Ravinie.

Lisa is a commoner and the Ravinie Family isn't just a powerful clan in the Dark Arts Faction but also a noble family acknowledged by the Kingdom.

The current head of the Ravinie Family is an Earl of the Millton Kingdom!

Aubrey viewed these people as proud individuals who wouldn't think of getting close to a commoner like Lisa. Although she's quite talented, Professor Russel Ravinie should have some form of aversion to her.

"No… He's the one who approached me and asked if I wanted some help regarding my Spell Recording." Lisa explained.

This baffled Aubrey even more but she decided to just remind Lisa of her thoughts.

"Lisa, be careful of him… He might have some ulterior motives I'm unaware of. I just can't believe that someone from their family would be so kind to someone who isn't part of the nobility. Well, unless you have a secret identity we're unaware of." Aubrey added as she tried to avoid referring to her friend as a commoner.

Although she doesn't have any bad intentions, Lisa might feel offended being called like that in the academy where all of them should be equal.

"I don't have a secret identity… I just lived a normal tragic life, someone who doesn't even know their real parents. This is probably common in some areas of the kingdom bordering other nations." Lisa wryly smiled as everyone realized that it was indeed not easy for her.

After some hesitation, she added.

"Right, I will be wary of the Professor from now on… Thank you for your reminder."
