Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Beginning Preparations to Lift the Curse

At the entrance of Cyber Academy, after bidding farewell to Celestine and Camilla,Charles made his way directly to the wooden cabin in the bamboo grove, where Colton was already waiting.

"Professor Colton, I've successfully obtained what you asked for." Charles said as he pulled out the Wood Spirit.

It was a deep green piece of wood that looked extremely ordinary. Most people would find it hard to imagine that this was the very item a master-level alchemist had been desperately searching for.

Colton carefully took the Wood Spirit from Charles's hands. As a master-level alchemist, his hands were usually very steady.

But at that moment, when he touched the Wood Spirit, Charles noticed that Professor Colton's hands began to tremble.

"Great! With this, the chances of success are even higher!" Colton said, his voice trembling slightly.

He gripped the Wood Spirit tightly while staring intently at Charles.

Colton's gaze held a multitude of emotions.

At first, he didn't believe that Charles could complete the Reaper's Scythe challenge.

He worried about Charles getting hurt or even losing his life due to unforeseen circumstances.

Then, after witnessing the dangerous battle between Charles and Icy, Colton felt nothing but regret.

Finally, now that he had truly obtained the Wood Spirit—his long-sought goal that could significantly increase the chances of success—Colton could no longer contain himself.

His eyes began to glisten, as if tears were about to form.

"Are you alright, Professor?" Charles asked with concern.

He genuinely hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Colton, who looked on the verge of tears.

Thinking of this, Charles lowered his head to give Colton a moment to compose himself.

Soon, Colton regained his composure, tucked the Wood Spirit away, and then asked:

"How did you manage to identify it? It doesn't look special at all, and many people have never seen it."

Charles scratched his head, he found it difficult to answer that question. He couldn't just say it was because of the information prompts in front of him.

"Never mind, that's not important. Here, take this. It's the miracle drugs I've been crafting over the past two days." Colton said as he handed over several bottles of miracle drugs.

Immediately, a flurry of information prompts appeared before Charles:

[High-Level Support Training Miracle Drug]

[Grade]: Orange-quality

[Description]: This is a supportive training potion. After use, it will rapidly increase the user's Beast Master training speed for half a month!

[Premium Detox Miracle Drug]

[Grade]: Orange-quality

[Description]: This can alleviate most poisoning conditions and, when taken, can prevent poisoning without any side effects!

[Physical Limitation Release Miracle Drug]

[Grade]: Orange-quality

[Description]: This is a special potion that can temporarily remove physical limitations, boosting strength by 1.5 to 3 times. It can be used by Beast Masters of level six and below, but after the effect wears off, the user will experience three hours of physical exhaustion.

...

There were at least a dozen bottles of miracle drugs, most of which were orange-quality, with the lowest being purple-quality. If these were to be taken out, who knows what kind of sensation it would cause!

"Teacher, this is too valuable." Charles immediately said.

These miracle drugs were literally lifesavers. Having them in dangerous situations would greatly increase the chances of survival!

"Just take them. Your safety is the most important thing. Time is limited, and some of these are purple-quality miracle drugs. Use them for now, and I'll refine more later. There are still some miracle drugs to come." Colton said nonchalantly.

After hearing this, Charles didn't refuse. Instead, he placed the miracle drugs into his storage space.

Now, his net worth was beyond what an ordinary person could imagine. Even Charles wasn't sure how much he had on him. It seemed he should find a time to get rid of all the unnecessary items at the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association. Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Then he could take stock of what he had! Oh, speaking of which, Charles remembered the matter regarding Little Gold, the food item, Feather Gold, was almost gone.

He would mention to Danel, the president of the Genosha branch of the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association, to see if they had a large supply of rare metals.

After chatting briefly with Colton, he noticed it was getting late.

Charles left the cabin and, on his way back to his dorm, took out his phone. He sent Danel a message about looking for rare metals and mentioned he would be selling some materials in a couple of days.

To his surprise, he received a reply just a few seconds later.

Danel said he was currently occupied with some matters and wasn't in Genosha Calivia. He could arrange for Yana to handle things in his absence.

Charles agreed, recalling that Yana was the person who had greeted him at the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association auction. She had a nice figure and was quite beautiful.

Early the next morning,

Charles got up, quickly washed up, and after breakfast, he returned to the classroom he hadn't visited in a while.

There was still some time before class started, and not many people were in the room. As soon as Charles walked in, the chatter that had been going on came to an abrupt halt, leaving the classroom eerily silent!

Most of the students in Class A of Cyber Academy had witnessed Charles's performance in the trial of the heart.

Seeing Charles brought back memories of what he had done during the final trial, and they instinctively lowered their heads, too afraid to meet his gaze!

This wasn't because the A-Class geniuses were timid, it was just that Charles's actions had been truly terrifying.

"Charles, you're back? I saw yesterday's battle, it was absolutely amazing!" Jace rushed over.

"How are you feeling now? Are you completely better?" Charles asked, nodding.

Jace patted his chest and replied, "Definitely! If I run into that kid again, I can take him down for sure!"

Charles knew who Jace was referring to, but Jace wouldn't have that chance, that person's fate had been quite tragic.

Soon,

Camilla and Zachary entered the classroom as well. Upon seeing Charles, their eyes lit up, and they greeted him.

Especially Camilla, who quietly moved her body and sat directly in front of Charles.

Looking at her fair neck and catching a whiff of her perfume, Charles couldn't help but glance a few more times.

The teacher who was about to give the lesson today was quite good at teaching, but in other aspects, she couldn't compare to Ruby.

With the Reaper's Scythe challenge over, Charles's life was starting to return to normal.

He wouldn't need Ruby to give him special lessons anymore.

Thinking about this made Charles feel a bit regretful.

Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated with a message.

Upon opening it, he saw it was from Professor Hale:

[Charles, you don't have to attend this morning's class. Ruby will help you catch up later.]

Charles slapped his forehead, he suddenly remembered that Lucas would be coming to Cyber Academy soon to help Professor Hale lift the curse.

Thinking of this, Charles immediately stood up and left the classroom.

The other students speculated a bit and figured that Charles must have something important to attend to, while Camilla continued to watch the door, her pink lips puffed up.

In the dean's office at Cyber Academy,

Jamie, Hale, Ethan, and Professor Ruby were all present, clearly placing great importance on the upcoming visit from Lucas.

When Charles arrived, Ethan immediately exclaimed, "Charles, I heard about what happened yesterday. You were really ruthless!"

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

Professor Ruby was dressed in a black professional outfit complemented by black stockings, and on her feet were a pair of red-soled high heels, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

She smiled and said, "Charles, you were impressive, you did really well!"

"Alright, alright, today Charles will also be participating. He has classes, so Ruby, could you please help him catch up later?" Jamie explained briefly.

Upon hearing this, Ruby's gaze lingered on Charles, and she replied, "Not a problem. Charles is a genius, I love tutoring geniuses. It makes things easier."

Charles felt Ruby's gaze on him and kept a straight face, saying nothing.

"Lucas informed me that the curse on Hale isn't easy to lift. There may be some disturbances, so everyone needs to be extra cautious." Jamie said in a serious tone.

Charles was a bit curious, he remembered that when Lucas lifted the curse in the illusion, it didn't seem to take much effort.

Could it be that the process was simplified in the illusion?

Jamie noticed Charles's confusion and explained, "That's correct. The curse on Hale is quite special. Forcing its removal might attract some unwanted attention, so we need to be prepared to shield against that."

They would have to use the trial tower within the academy, and several teachers along with the dean would work together to create a unique shielding space. Only then could Lucas lift the curse on Hale without drawing any special attention.

No wonder Professor Ezra had been at a loss regarding the curse on Hale, it turned out to be quite difficult.

Before long, Jamie led Hale, Charles, and the others to the trial tower.

Today, the trial tower was closed, and once everything was prepared, Lucas's figure appeared before everyone.

"Good morning, Charles." Ignoring everyone else, Lucas greeted Charles directly.

Charles quickly responded, today, Lucas was still dressed in a white suit, looking exceptionally elegant.
