Chapter 325 Doubt



Vale hesitated for a moment before refusing the Fire Wave Spell Model.

First of all, he only had one Complete Spell Light remaining in his body. Well, there are also three incomplete Spell Lights, so he needs one more to get another complete Spell Light to make it two.

The other reason was that the Fire Wave wasn't really a strong offensive Fire Spell. It was mostly used for wide-range attacks. He probably would consider that if he plans to disguise himself as an Elementalist.

However, for now, he doesn't need it.

As for the Fire Arrow Spell. It was incomplete, so he didn't bother to get it either since he didn't know when he could take another incomplete Spell Model to make a whole.

"He looked handsome... Why is he hiding his face?" Lisa commented after Vale removed the mask he was wearing.

Vale looked at her for a moment before shifting his attention to the bandit's face.

'This is handsome? So this is your type?' He mused.

Vale thought for a moment before he answered in humor.

"Mhmm... I think he was from a noble family. I heard that he had an alias... He was called Thunder Emperor, but his partner also called him Mountain Bandit. Perhaps, he still had an attachment to his noble family, so he likes to call himself Emperor even though he's only a bandit now?" He said.

It was obviously a common plot that he had seen in many movies or dramas, so he just blurted it out.

However, Lisa looked like she really believed what he had just said.

Her eyes turned round as she felt worried that they had killed a noble. Although she was already an Arcanist, it was deeply ingrained in her brain that offending nobles could result in a terrible death.

Vale saw her reaction, so he immediately spoke.

"Hey, that's just a joke... I don't think this guy is really from a noble lineage. He probably called himself Thunder Emperor after obtaining that staff that can produce lightning."

"R-really?" Lisa said before she sighed in relief. "Well, I guess it doesn't really matter."

"Right... Do you know why this person was acting like that? Are all Elementalists similar to him?" She asked.

Vale immediately rejected this idea, as he had already seen many Elementalists before.

"I don't think so... Perhaps we should ask the Headmaster later..." Vale said mysteriously.

He then started looking around to search for Charles Blackwood... However, the man seemed to have disappeared, and he couldn't find any traces of him.

In the end, Vale stopped thinking about it as he spread his Magic Zone to see the situation outside.

Surprisingly, he found that Headmaster Jean and Isaac were struggling against Sherman!

"Just who is this guy? How come he's so strong?" Vale muttered in disbelief.

Sherman truly deserved to be a bounty hunter of rogue Arcanists. He was actually so strong! It was a good thing that Sherman was kind enough to let him go during their first encounter.

'Let's see...'

Vale then tried using his Divine Sense to inspect Sherman's Arcane Path once again, but as expected, he failed on it.

His Divine Sense only returned feedback from Isaac and Jean but not from Sherman.

"Tsk..."

Vale was now hesitating whether he should help the Headmaster. He could consider summoning a Divine Lightning or even sneakily use his Shadow Manipulation, so they can work together and kill this person.I think you should take a look at

After all, Sherman might become a huge threat someday.

But if he did that, whatever item Sherman has, it would belong to the Headmaster or even Isaac. It would be a pity if these two got stronger and he didn't

After some thought, he felt that Sherman's existence was quite necessary.

He had some admiring morals after he let go of two 15 years old Arcane Arts Practitioners. Since he had been given a chance, he should give Sherman a chance as well.

"Very well. Let's do this..."

Vale muttered as he decided to give Sherman an opportunity to escape. Although Sherman was winning the battle, it wouldn't last for long since Isaac and Jean could easily replenish their Dark Energy within the Academy.

On the other hand, Sherman would just be exhausted the longer the battle goes.

With this in mind, Vale used his Spell Dispersion in one of the Formation Nodes of the Academy, making a hole in the Trap Formation that Isaac had set up.

As expected of Sherman, he noticed this immediately and quickly used this opportunity to escape...

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Vale... What did you do just now? Was it you?"

Suddenly, Vale's body hair stood up as he heard a familiar voice.

It was Professor Gale Evans!

Although he wasn't afraid of her, he couldn't help but shudder after recalling his experience with her.

This woman could draw people close to her without the target noticing. His high Intelligence or Spirit, passive Spell Dispersion, and even ESP Spell didn't work on her!

What more for other students or people who had weaker defense than him?

"Professor Evans?" Lisa asked after seeing the very attractive and appealing Professor. She couldn't help but frown at the Professor's appearance, who seemed to be seducing everyone in sight. Although this is the Dark Arts Academy, she couldn't help but dislike this kind of 'Dark Arts.'

Professor Evans briefly glanced at Lisa and nodded slightly to acknowledge her presence.

Then she continued looking at Vale. She even licked her lips in the process!

Lisa wanted to say something, but the Professor's voice suddenly became stern as she asked Vale again.

"Vale, aren't you going to answer my question? What did you do just now?"

Vale squinted his eyes as he carefully chose his words.

'Since she's asking, she must be unsure what I did. I guess she only made a vague guess. I can play this around...'

"Ahem... I don't understand, Professor... I'm simply binding this intruder as he might wake up and escape." He answered.

That was true since his Corrupted Chains were still wrapped in the Thunder Emperor's arms.

"Heh... We both know that this guy was a puppet. Headmaster Jean was already controlling him with Shadow Marrionette. There's no need to wrap him." Professor Evans replied.

Lisa and Vale's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"No, we didn't know..." Vale said.

"Shadow Marrionette? Isn't that the fourth Academy-Exclusive Dark Spell that we could learn? I don't think that's the case. Why did he attack us if he was controlled by the Headmaster?" Lisa asked doubtfully.
