Leonore frowned and blinked, confused by the result.
She suddenly felt nervous after realizing that she didn't just fail, but Vale also noticed her actions!
'No… He shouldn't have noticed it. My Spell is undetectable. I tried it on the guards outside the Academy. None of them noticed this Appraisal Spell at all.' Leonore thought as she tried to comfort herself.
She quickly shifted her attention back to her friends to avoid Vale's eyes. She was hoping that Vale had just glanced at her by chance.
Unfortunately, she still couldn't help but feel that sothing was off. She didn't know how she failed since she felt the activation of her Spell. She also felt so of her Dark Energy being used in that brief mont.
'Not good… He's still staring at him. He really noticed .'
Leonore tried to ignore Vale's burning gaze behind her, but in the end, she realized that she should just apologize to not make the matter worse.
She tried showing her most pitiful face as she turned to Vale.
However, this ti, Vale looked at her with a mocking smile.
Seeing that Leonore didn't know what to do and was probably panicking inside, he mouthed: "Nice try."
Leonore felt a surge of anger and intrigue, and she didn't know if it was hate or attraction. She knew that this person was soone she had to be careful of, and maybe soone she wanted to challenge.
Luckily, even though Vale may have been offended by her actions, it wasn't to the point that he'd forget that they were classmates.
Leonore planned to apologize at this point, but so students entered the classroom, interrupting her.
They were Lisa, Chad, and Aubrey. They imdiately surrounded Vale as soon as they noticed him sitting alone at the back row.
She could no longer apologize in this situation, so she planned to do it after class.
It didn't take long before Professor Shirley entered the classroom and looked around.
Nothing changed in Class 2 since they will only be separated in their fourth year when they selected their Dark Arts Specialization.
"Since everyone's here… Let's start the assessnt."
As soon as she said this, everyone imdiately paid attention since they were looking forward to this very mont.
They wanted to show off how much they had gotten stronger within a year. Furthermore, many of them are confident that they have exceeded Vale's Spirit Strands.
Although all these people spent a huge sum of money to increase their Spirit, that was nothing compared to the satisfaction they'll get once they confirm that they're better than the last year's best student.
"Heh… I guess everyone's excited to get tested. However, there are changes in this year's assessnt. We need to find suitable students to attend the Twelve Academies Competition once you all advance to the fourth year. So as early as now, the professors will be taking note of your achievents to consider your participation." Professor Shirley said with a smile.
"Ahh? What kind of changes is that, Professor?" Neil asked in excitent. The idea of participating in the Twelve Academies Competition stimulated his desire to achieve a good result in today's assessnt.
"I hope it's not about having better Mystical Artifacts."
"Perhaps it's an additional exam?"
"Idiot… It's probably sothing related to the Competition…"I think you should take a look at
The students started guessing, so Professor Shirley stopped them by revealing the added assessnt.
"We will now be testing your Power Strands and Life Strands. Normally, this is done during your fifth year in the Academy. After all, your Power and Life Strands will not increase that much until you reach your third year or fourth year. However, in last week's conference with the Headmaster, we voted to add these assessnts today at the Academy's expense."
As Professor Shirley said this, she thought that her students would get excited. After all, they must be curious about their own power and life strands.
However, to her dismay, her student had a stiff smile on their faces as they seed to have felt betrayed after the revelation.
"Professor… We're just in our second year. I don't think I can even produce a single power strand. As for our life strand, there's nothing special there either." Alvin Vendel comnted. He hadn't prepared himself aside from his Spirit Strands after all.
Felicia imdiately spoke after hearing his words.
"No way. As long as you consud the Darkness Possession successfully, it already gives you a couple of Power Strands."
"Ugh! That's still not that much. We're not Knights or Combat Warriors anyway." Blair also added.
"True… I don't think we need to keep track of our Power Strand as Spell Casters. We should just focus on our Spirit Strand."
"That includes the Life Strands. All of us should have about the sa since we are of similar age. I don't think it's that important."
"Idiots… This is free! What's with this so many complaints?!"
As they voiced out their opinions, Dalton Stranway scolded his classmate.
This ti, Dalton was already comfortable with his classmates, so he could comnt like that.
Although he sounded so aggressive with what he said, his classmates who weren't appreciating the new assessnt recalled the requirent for the Power and Life Strand Assessnt.
Their eyes lit up, and they asked the Professor.
"Does it an that we will get the Power Converging Crystal for free? It will not be taken back?!"
"I heard that the Life Converging Crystal is worth 2 Contribution Points! Can we really have it?" Reid asked in excitent.
Finally, Professor Shirley heard the response that she wanted to hear. It was a good thing that Dalton scolded them for her. After all, these crystals can only be used by one person!
Once you triggered these crystals, they would no longer respond to other Practitioners! This was a huge expense for the Academy!
"That's right… Here are the crystals." Professor Shirley said as she took out two pouches of crystals.
Thud. Thud.
One of the pouches contained Red Crystals, which were known as Life Converging Crystals. The other pouch, on the other hand, included Green Crystals or the Power Converging Crystals.
"Alright, who wants to go first?"
Professor Shirley asked as she looked at everyone.
Surprisingly, as soon as she asked for a volunteer, everyone unconsciously looked at Vale. So were subtle, but many of them just imdiately looked behind as if they were telling Vale to volunteer first.
