Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Kyle wryly smiled as he can't do anything about this.

Explaining things would just make it more difficult for him.

'Whatever…' Kyle inwardly sighed as he continued his extraction.

There is a total of 19 corpses this time and all of them seem to be high-quality. He was looking forward to the changes that will happen to him today as he believed that he might reach a double-digit in his Intelligence if most of his extraction were to be sent in this attribute.

[ Extraction successful. Energy +9 Strength +0.34 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +8 Agility +0.31 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +9 Agility +0.31 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Intelligence +0.33 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Intelligence +0.33 ]

***

[ Extraction successful. Energy +8 Intelligence +0.33 ]

After neatly lining up all the corpses on the floor, Kyle completed his extraction as well and had a very great result.

During this time, he had to stop for several minutes as the changes in his body were stressing him a bit… The feeling of getting stronger in such a quick manner felt like he was about to burst.

He felt his body bloating when multiple strength was added. He felt his head expanding as intelligence increased and he felt that everything is so slow as his agility ranks up.

It only added a total of 2.04 points in Strength, 1.24 points in Agility, and 2.97 points in Intelligence but he felt some qualitative changes in his body. That was six corpses that provided Strength, four that provided Agility, and nine that provided Intelligence.

With this division, it can truly be said that Intelligence is the easiest one… He couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

Kyle was wondering how advanced or powerful he was compared to the other freshmen in the next academic year!

As he was about to check his character panel, he suddenly heard Mr. Heinz's curious voice.

"Mhmm… Did you just complete some sort of ritual I wasn't aware of? I'm telling you, a ritual with those corpses is dangerous. You might attract some existences you don't ever want to be associated with."

Heinz warned seriously as he faintly sensed some changes in Kyle.

He didn't notice any form of communication to certain existences but he had a vague feeling that Kyle did something… After all, Kyle's presence somehow grew stronger in his perception.

Furthermore, Kyle must've read some books that are too advanced for him and decided to experiment with them.

'As expected of an expert, he was able to notice my minute changes. I have to be careful next time…' Kyle ruminated as he answered Heinz.

"I understand, Master Heinz… I will be careful."

"Alright…"

Luckily, Heinz doesn't seem to mind his unusual actions… Perhaps, he was only worried that something might happen to him before he drinks the last potion tomorrow.

After leaving the laboratory, Kyle didn't immediately return to his room as he decided to go out to get some fresh air.

He saw a lot of people going in and out of the workshop since it was already time for the night shift to work. Some of them are going home and some will start working for the rest of the night.

"Hey, are you still afraid of going to town?"

Someone spoke behind Kyle and without looking back, he knows that this is the kitchen helper who had previously suggested killing the furnace to attract Mr. Heinz's attention to make him return.

His name is Felix and he has been working in the workshop's kitchen for three years.

Kyle looked behind him and confirmed that Felix is already about to go home. He's no longer wearing his apron or uniform for work. Instead, he's wearing a clean shirt and a vest on top while holding his topcoat with his right arm.

"I'm not afraid… I just offended a few people so I need to be careful…" Kyle answered.

"Heh… You're thinking too much. If you really offended someone in the academy, you wouldn't be safe even here. It's only eight o'clock, there are still plenty of stores open, follow me. I'll show you around."

Kyle hesitated for a moment. He knows as well that it should be fine to go out since Mr. Heinz has handled everything for him.

Furthermore, Lesley has left the academy for her practical training… No one would really come looking for him…

"Alright. Do you know if there are any watchmakers around?" Kyle asked.

"Of course! I can bring you to the best one I know."

With that said, Kyle asked Felix to wait for a while as he returned to his room to get a coat and the broken pocket watch.

Most of his items like clothes and such were purchased from the town. However, it wasn't he who purchased them. He simply ordered Denise to run an errand for him.

Soon, Felix and Kyle went to the nearby town together with other workers who recognized them.

As they entered the town, Kyle finally realized that a portion of it was completely abandoned. It is the part that he could see from the factory or the workshop.

"Do you know why this part of the town has been abandoned?" Kyle asked curiously.

Felix stopped moving for a moment as he recalled what he had heard from the others.

"It was already like this when I arrived here five years ago. I heard from the older residents that some foolish students made some sort of experiment in this part of the town. Although it was resolved by the Academy Officials, some said that the place is already cursed and there are still evil spirits lurking there. Anyway, as long as you don't live in the area, the evil spirits won't bother you."

Kyle gently nodded after hearing the story. He didn't comment about this as they continued to visit the watchmaker's home.
