Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

'This…' Vale's mind went blank as he did not resist the Professor's advances.

No, he did not know how to resist! It seemed that he had forgotten how to do it.

Instead, he kissed her back and surrendered himself to her.

He did not know what would happen next or what the consequences would be. He didn't even care if he was making a mistake by doing this.

He only knew that he was about to enter a Dark Path that might lead him to glory or ruin. He concluded this as he felt his soul drawn to the Professor.

"Umph…"

Vale and Professor Evans kissed for a long time, oblivious to everything else.

They felt their souls resonate as if they were made for each other. They felt a surge of emotion and passion, as well as a sense of understanding and trust.

They broke the kiss and looked into each other's eyes. It was a marvelous sight. They saw their own reflections, as well as something more. They saw their partner's soul, their true self!

It was a weird sensation, and Vale felt confused… However, as the Professor hugged him, Vale's mind went "clear" as he smiled and hugged the Professor.

"Vale, you are amazing." Professor Evans said with a sincere voice. Her eyes remained on Vale's face as if she was trying to etch Vale's face in her mind.

"You have a beautiful soul, full of light and power. You are the perfect partner for me. I'm so foolish to only realize it now…" She added with a hint of ecstatic voice.

"Professor Evans, you are wonderful." Vale said in a trance. "You have a brilliant soul, full of wisdom and grace. You are the perfect partner for me."

His words reverberated throughout the whole room. If someone else were in the room, they would realize that Vale seemed to be chanting a ritual without his knowledge!

After Vale completed those words, the Professor smiled even more brightly as her eyes started changing colors. It was slowly turning black, but Vale didn't care about this at all.

They kissed again and moved towards the couch. They lay down together, cuddling and caressing each other.

Professor Evans guided Vale as they whispered sweet words and secrets to each other.

They felt their souls grow closer and closer. There was only one step left before they became one.

They felt a wave of ecstasy wash over them as they began the real Soul Bonding Ritual.

Whoosh~

But something unexpected happened before they could complete the ritual!

A dark shadow emerged from Vale's body, taking the form of a beautiful lady with black hair and red eyes. She was Yvaine, the Dark Spirit that had been hiding inside Vale's shadow!

"Disgusting…" Yvaine said in a chilling voice jolting the Professor awake.

Yvaine had been watching the whole scene with anger and emotion she couldn't understand.

Although she initially planned to be an observer till the end, she somehow did not like Professor Evans or what she was doing to Vale.

She heard that the Professor was about to teach Vale the Soul Bonding Method, but she did not trust the Professor's motives or methods.

She did not want her to take Vale away from her.

Yvaine paused in shock as she reached this thought… 'I don't want her to take Vale from me?'

She didn't realize that she had such thoughts until now.

Nevertheless, since she already came out, she decided to intervene and stop the Soul Bonding Ritual.

She pushed the Professor away and reached out her hand to touch Vale's forehead. She sent a jolt of dark energy into his mind, breaking his trance and waking him up.

The Professor couldn't even stop her as Yvaine's presence was just too much! Furthermore, she was in a middle of a ritual. She was in a state where she couldn't easily access her Spell Models!

She fell on the couch and could only watch Vale waking from his trance.

Vale opened his eyes and saw Yvaine's face above him. He felt a sharp pain in his head and confusion in his heart.

His eyes lit up as he realized what happened.

"W-what have I done…"

He looked around and saw Professor Evans looking at him pitifully.

"P-professor…" Vale muttered as he felt a surge of fear and guilt. He felt fear because of how he failed to resist the Professor. This shows how strong she was if he was caught unprepared! She was certainly dangerous!

It doesn't matter if he has a Spell Dispersion if it wasn't fast enough to dispel the Professor's Spell!

On the other hand, he also felt guilt since he realized that he somehow enjoyed what they'd done deep inside! He somehow liked that fleeting moment even though he shouldn't!

Hu~

After he collected his thoughts, he looked at the Professor sternly. This time, he had already activated his defensive Spells to ensure that he won't be tricked again.

He did not like what Professor Evans had done to him or what he had done to her. He did not like the fact that he had been forced into this or that he had enjoyed it.

He jumped up from the couch and grabbed the books he needed. He wrapped them in a cloth and carried it with him.

He looked at Yvaine and nodded gratefully.

"Thank you, Yvaine. You saved me." He said softly.

Yvaine smiled and hugged him… or that was what he thought. She simply went past him and returned to his shadow.

As he thought that he would be ignored again, he heard Yvaine's voice with a rare warm tone!

"You're welcome, Vale."

This made Vale smile for a bit as he felt that Yvaine seemed shy to reply in front of him. He may be delusional, but he couldn't help but consider it.

Then, he looked at Professor Evans with contempt before he left the office without looking back.

He did not know what would happen next.

He did not know the consequences of turning her down but he wasn't afraid of facing it.
