Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

The remaining time in the class was an eye-opener for them. Professor Stella Harwin taught them various things related to Magic Zone and Spirit.

She didn't make any in-depth discussion about the advancement of the Phantasm State but they will certainly touch on this subject in the next lessons.

Noticing that there were only 10 minutes left before the end of the class, Professor Harwin looked at everyone…

"Do you have any questions?" She asked.

Leonore then raised her hands to get the Professor's attention.

After being called, Leonore spoke while seated.

"Professor, you mentioned that we can increase our Spirit through meditation… You're also expecting all of those with four or five strands to end this academic year with at least 10 Strands. May I ask about your expectation of my current state?"

Since Leonore has 17 Spirit Strands, she was expecting that she'll be able to get a better result than those with 4 or 5 strands. She's curious if the meditation that she'll learn will only give her 5 more Spirit Strands for the whole Academic Year.

If that were the case, she might as well continue her family's method instead.

"The others with high Spirit Strands probably have the same question. Unfortunately, since you've exceeded the 10 Spirit Strand already, it would be difficult to say… It will all depend on your talent… What I can say is that every 10th mark would be difficult to break through. In short, those with 16 or 17 Spirit Strands would have an easier time reaching 20th but 21st Strand would not be easy."

Leonore and the others with high Spirit Strands nodded in realization.

Some of them even started looking at Vale who had a very abnormal Spirit.

They weren't sure if he was extremely talented or was simply lucky to obtain a rare treasure that was able to enhance his Spirit.

After this question was answered, Jody raised her hand for another question.

"About the Magic Zones, are we also going to learn how to change its shape?" She asked with a hint of excitement.

Previously during the class, Professor Harwin hinted that the Magic Zone they have isn't indefinite. If they have met certain requirements, their magic zone can move!

"That's right… However, you will have to ensure that your Phantasm State can last at least five minutes before we can do that."

"Aahh?! Five minutes?"

"Perhaps, five seconds?"

"Is that true, Professor?"

Many of them were obviously surprised about this while Lisa was just curiously looking at their reaction.

"Isn't five minutes a bit too much? I know a third-year student who can only last three minutes…"

"That's true… Are you also going to help us reach that duration, Professor?"

Vale noticed that even Chad Bulmung with 12 Spirit Strands was complaining. It means that he probably doesn't have a long duration as well.

Chad then turned his gaze to Vale after noticing that he was being looked at.

"Vale… How long can you last? Just tell it to me…" Chad whispered but Lisa and Aubrey heard him. They also leaned closely to Vale to hear his answer.

Vale hesitated for a moment before teasing Chad.

"You can guess…"

Chad pouted at this as he knows that Vale doesn't have plans of telling his secret. To be honest, even the Academy may not necessarily know your limit.

After all, what's important to them is that you pass the requirement for your Academic Year.

The First Year students might require a minute or two or even less when it comes to the duration of the Phantasm State.

As Vale was wondering what was the requirement for first-year students like him, Professor Harwin finally answered.

"That right… I will be helping you increase your duration… However, it wouldn't be a direct help since it will be in a different class. It's your Fundamentals in Magic Zone Class that will be taught by another Professor. Just to let you know, this year's requirement is only to last for 90 seconds. This Professor will fail you in her class if you can't reach 90 seconds for the whole academic year so you have to study well."

Stella explained. Her Class is only about Elementary Spirit Law. It is simply a theoretical class. The things that she'll teach them will only help them in other subjects.

"What?! Ninety seconds?" The students exclaimed as they felt that it was too long.

"Correct… Since we still have four minutes. I want everyone to enter their Phantasm State while raising their hands. Put it down if you ended your Phantasm State. This way, I can tell you your current level and make a better plan for you."

With that said, everyone followed her instruction and entered their Phantasm State…

This includes Lisa who had just learned the Phantasm State today. Unfortunately, she still can't enter the Phantasm State and would probably need more practice.

Stella Harwin looked at her students with a helpless smile.

Most of her students only lasted around 20 seconds. There were only a handful of students in her class that can surpass a minute…

After three minutes. It was only Vale who was left in his Phantasm State. There was no point continuing this so she ordered him to cancel his Phantasm State.

"Very good. I've seen everyone's current state. With my help, I'm sure that everyone will improve in just a few months. For now, I won't be teaching you the meditation technique to help you increase your spirit. Ahem… Your next class is Basic Usage of Mystical Artifacts… Listen attentively since your professor in this class will think that you are all fast learners…"

After saying this, Professor Stella left the classroom leaving the students confused.

Everyone was baffled until the Professor finally arrived.

She only seems to be in her forties but her hair is already turning mostly white. She has a reading glass resting on her nose and a cane that was helping her walk.

With a weak and hoarse voice, she spoke to everyone.

"Good morning. I'm Shirley Harrison. You can simply call me Professor Harrison. Unlike the Elementary Spirt Law that has 2 hours, we only have an hour in this class so I want everyone to pay your full attention to every word that I say."

Shirley took a deep breath before continuing…

"For our first class, we won't be doing boring things. Instead, we'll summon a mysterious existence through a Mystical Artifact…"
