"There's too many of them… I wonder how long it will take
to Extract all of them." Vale muttered to himself as he looked at the hundreds of corpses on the floor.
Headmaster Jean was right. These corpses were indeed of decent quality, and he could tell it even without Extracting them.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, in the corner of his eyes, he noticed that there was a treasure chest on the other side of the Hall! He imdiately stood up to check it, but he recalled sothing.
He was worried that if he took these treasures inside the chest, the corpses would disappear!
The chance was low, but he wouldn't risk it.
So, instead of checking the treasure chest, Vale started with his Extractions first.
[ Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]
'Yes…'
[ Extraction successful. Energy
20, Intelligence
0.3, mory Fragnt ]
"Oops…"
Vale made a mistake. He didn't control his extractions and accidentally used the auto-extraction mode of the System.
After all, his Intelligence Attribute was already full at this mont, and any of his extractions with the said Attribute would just be wasted.
As for the mory Fragnt. Vale still accepted it, and after skimming through the mories, he realized that he hit the jackpot.
'This is possible?' Vale thought to himself.
The mory Fragnt revealed the story of an unfortunate Elentalist who had his Spell Models destroyed, rendering him unable to harness the power of elental spells. However, before eting his demise, the Elentalist had hidden a valuable treasure in a massive tree located at the back of his house in a distant village.
Excitent coursed through Vale as he realized the potential significance of this information. Of course, he wasn't too excited about the treasure since it seed to be only worth about a thousand zen or two.
It wasn't much.
He was excited about the possibilities that could be given to him with mory Fragnts Extractions.
[ Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy

Vale continued with his extractions, and not many of them could excite him. They were mostly useless, with a few useful ones that allowed him to realize that the outside world was perilous. There were so many rogue Arcanists lurking in the cities, and most of them were being dealt with by the Factions' Orders.
Instead, they were being handled by the Elite Bounty Hunters like Sherman.
This made him respect the man a little bit more.
A few mories also made him knowledgeable about Elental Alchemy and Summoner's Grimoire…
'Wait… This is actually good.' Vale thought to himself as he realized the significance of so of these mories. He made sure that this important knowledge would be etched into his mind and not just disperse after.
As Vale continued his extractions, he ca across a mory Fragnt that revealed the life of a humble herbalist who possessed a deep connection with nature and the healing arts of the Alchemy Arts Faction.
In this mory, he witnessed the herbalist's serene existence in a peaceful village surrounded by lush gardens and vibrant flora. The herbalist had a profound understanding of the dicinal properties of various plants, herbs, and fungi, using them to create potent redies and healing potions.
Vale observed as the herbalist delicately harvested rare herbs from hidden groves, communed with the spirits of nature, and perford intricate rituals to infuse his potions with powerful healing energy. The mory showcased the herbalist's kind and compassionate nature, as he selflessly treated the ailnts of those in need.
Needless to say, he didn't throw away this mory.
He absorbed the mory without hesitation as he felt a deep resonance with the herbalist's connection to nature and the dical technique.
He realized that this knowledge could be invaluable, not just in the Academy for his survival outside the Academy.
After extracting over 50 corpses, almost four hours had already passed.
It was really testing his patience. He was even using his Touchless Extraction at this point!
Well, the reason that it was taking a few minutes for each Extraction was because of the mory Fragnt… He couldn't just accept all the mories since his brain might explode if he received everything. He had to choose whether to retain the mories or not whenever he viewed them.
'Next…'
[ Demi-Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]
'Yes…' Vale answered casually, but his eyes widened as he looked at the corpse before him. He thought it would just be a normal extraction, but what he found was a Demi-Human!
'Did I read it correctly? Demi-Human?' Vale asked himself once more as he looked at the result of the Extraction.
[ Extraction successful. Energy

"Hmm? This…" Vale was stunned as he looked at the corpse of an old woman who seed to be a hundred-year-old human. She doesn't look different from other human corpses...
'A Demi-Human that has Divinity? What's going on here?'
Vale was confused but he still accepted the mories of the old woman. Then, he was even more speechless as he saw her mories.
This mory fragnt revealed the life of a Mystic Arts Practitioner. She was a hermit who had lived in isolation for more than 70 years… She was only in her 20s when she started her isolation training and ca out when she was in her 90s.
As expected of a person with Divinity Points, she had touched upon the Forbidden Mystic Arts called Ti Manipulation.
In this mory, Vale witnessed the Magician's awe-inspiring abilities to bend ti to her will. He saw her freezing monts in ti, accelerating her own movents to unimaginable speeds and even glimpsing into the future to gain foresight and advantage in battles.
'Is this even real?' Vale was speechless.
The mories he had seen were just too unbelievable.
The magician's prowess with Ti Manipulation was unparalleled, and Vale felt a surge of fascination and inspiration as he absorbed the mory. He understood that this arcane knowledge could greatly enhance his own strength. At the very least, this had broadened his horizon.
'Why is this woman not being discussed in our history lessons?' Vale silently thought as he carefully searched the mory.
"This mory felt more complete than the others…" Vale muttered as he continued to imrse himself in the mories of the Hermit.
