Chapter 307 Threatened?



"Soul Bonding Method?" Vale repeated as he had never read or heard anything like this before. Nevertheless, it sounded cool, so he expected this method to be more beneficial than the one he was using.

"That's right… Do you value that Mystical Item you sealed?" Professor Morton asked suddenly.

"Of course. It's really important. I think I will use it more often in the future." Vale answered after some thought.

"Then, that's perfect. After all, the Soul Bonding Method isn't just a Sealing Method. It's also a method to properly control Mystical Items. I'm guessing that the item you needed to seal was probably too strong for you, or you can't handle its adverse effects." Professor Murton said.

Vale nodded at this since that was indeed the case. The Divine Sword wasn't something he could control at the moment. Perhaps there was a ritual or requirement to make it docile, but he had no way of asking Tracie about that right now.

"So that's indeed the case. This Soul Bonding Method creates a link between you and your Mystical Item. If you make a perfect Soul Bonding Process, it will even allow you to control this item with your mind. However, that will be a bit tricky."

"Why is that, Professor?" Vale asked.

"It's better if you ask the person who's an expert on this. She's Professor Gale Evans, and she teaches in the fourth and fifth year's Soul Path class… I'm sure she can help you if you pay her or something. Alright, I'll leave now. I still have a class."

Professor Murton said he didn't even wait for Vale to answer as he turned around and left.

"Thank you, Professor!" Vale still appreciated the Professor's help. He finally had an idea of what to do. Before going to the clubroom, he decided to meet the female Professor after class.

Even if the female Professor refuses to teach him, now that he has learned about the Soul Bonding Method, he could just research it or even ask his seniors in the clubroom in case they know this method. Furthermore, he can also use his Contribution Points to request some seniors to teach him about it if he becomes desperate about it.

Vale finished his morning class, and Lisa and the others invited him for lunch. Realizing that he didn't eat his breakfast, he immediately agreed as he also bonded with his friends.

For some reason, he noticed that Aubrey was quite energetic today as he laughed and teased Lisa for something he wasn't sure of. On the other hand, Lisa was taking it lightly as she simply pouted at her friend before continuing to eat.

Soon, Vale found himself being blocked by a familiar student.

"Uhmm… Celina? Do you need something?" Vale asked as Celina blocked his way to the higher years' building.

Since the two of them had different tasks in the club and other schedules, they would rarely meet up, even if they were clubmates.

Celina smiled at Vale, and he could tell that it wasn't a kind smile.

"Senior Vale, It's been a while… I've been really curious about you over the past few weeks."

"Oh… Was it because I rejected you?" Vale asked. He wasn't really surprised at this point.

"Rejected? Haha! You're making it sound as if I confessed my feelings to you... Anyway, that's also one thing. You rejected my offer. After all, I don't think you'll have a better job than becoming my Shadow Knight after you graduate here. I'm sure you'll change your mind someday once you realize how great my family is."

"Mhmmm." Vale just nodded at her as he doubted that would happen at all.I think you should take a look at

Seeing how uninterested he was, Celina felt insulted as she gritted her teeth in annoyance. It took her a few seconds to calm down as she smiled once again and said. "I heard everything from Senior Neil… It was quite interesting how you used your Dark Spirit to suck his energy and even destroy his Spell Models."

Vale was confused at first, but he soon recalled how she was talking about his previous Extraction on Neil at the library. He had almost forgotten about it.

"What do you mean? I'm not involved in that… You should know that Dark Spirits have a unique presence. Summoning them out would easily be noticed by everyone."

"Hmph! I think you had forgotten that the Vermont Family are the ones who had a better understanding of the Dark Spirits. No other clans know about the Dark Spirit that we do. This means that I know that when a Dark Spirit reaches a certain level, they can suppress their energy and hide in other people's shadows aside from their contractors. I'm sure that you're the one who did that to Neil!"

Vale shook his head at this, as there was no way she could prove it anyway. It's not like she was there carrying a recording crystal.

As long as he denies such allegations, she couldn't do anything.

"I see… Unfortunately, I didn't do it."

"Hmph! I know you did it. However, I will be lenient for you this one time." Celina said as she turned and walked passed Vale.

This momentarily confused Vale as he thought this girl would become so difficult.

It seemed that she had a plan in her mind, but right now, Vale couldn't be bothered about it, so he headed straight to the higher year's building.

He would think about her matter once she did something stupid.

***

He soon found Professor Gale Evans in her office, which was located near the Dark Soul Tower, one of the most isolated buildings in the academy. As far as he knows, only Necromancy Branch students can enter that place.

Anyway, Vale knocked on the door of her office and waited for her response.

"Come in."

An icy voice said from inside.

Vale opened the door and entered the office. He saw a middle-aged woman sitting behind a large desk, surrounded by books and papers. She had long silver hair and piercing blue eyes. She wore a white robe and a gold necklace with a purple gem. She looked at Vale with a stern expression.

"Who are you? And what do you want?" She asked with a stern voice.

'I guess this will be a bit difficult.'

Vale thought as he bowed slightly and introduced himself.
