Thanks to the books in Heinz's laboratory, Vale learned plenty of Dark Spells even before he attended Professor Morton's class.
It means that he had a long time considering the spell that he would like to learn inside the Academy.
Furthermore, Vale actually felt helpless after hearing the Professor's suggestion, he only wanted him to write at least six Dark Spells.
However, as he entered his Phantasm State, he can see 12 Available Spell Lights!
That's right, aside from the four Spell Models in his body, he can see 12 other bright lights indicating that he can learn 12 more spells. Furthermore, he knows that this number can still increase since he hadn't reached his limit yet.
According to Master Heinz, the Spell Lights will only stop appearing at around 18 years old.
He still has about 4 years to accumulate Spell Lights!
He can only hope that the Malevolence Infection Spell will not consume more than 5 Spell Lights when recording its Spell Model.
After writing his set of spells and explaining why he chose this combination of spells, Vale submitted the paper to the Professor.
The class finally ended after Jody, the last student, submitted her paper. She took almost an hour to think about her plans.
"We still have some time left but I'll be returning to the faculty now to check your papers. Alright, class dismissed."
With that said, the professor left the room as the class celebrated. It was finally their free time so they immediately gathered their things and left.
Some of them would visit their clubs while others would have their tea in the cafeteria.
Lisa, Chad, Aubrey, and Blair, on the other hand, decided to quickly finish their spell recording as they went to Vale to ask for his help.
"Vale, I'm sure you have some secret on how you recorded your spell faster than those high nobles… I'm not asking you for free. I'll give you three Spirit Pearls. Ahem… Only low-grade ones though." Aubrey said as her group surrounded Vale.
Since Aubrey started to mention giving gifts, the others started copying her.
"I don't have Spirit Pearls but I have an extra pocket watch with me. I notice that you don't have one so you can have it. It's a mystical item but it's not a standard quality. Well, it can only help the wearer increase his focus a little amount." Chad said as he recalled the pocket watch he wasn't using and still in his luggage.
As Lisa and Blair were about to mention their gifts, Vale immediately stopped them.
"Alright… Alright… I'm not taking anything from you. I'll help you all and you just have to keep this as our secret and a favor from me. Soon, I'll be asking you some favors that you can't turn down."
As Vale said this, his classmates were the ones who were stunned. However, it was only a moment of hesitation. They immediately agreed with this…
"It's fine. As long as you're not going to ask us to do something illegal." Lisa said.
"I won't. I promise." Vale said with a smile. His plan was simple, he would ask them to bring him some corpses. Maybe not today or this year, but it would happen someday.
He wanted to gather these people so he could get some helpers someday and get more access to corpses.
His reputation may look questionable if he did this but he doesn't care anymore. As long as he gets stronger with more corpses, he wouldn't mind this at all.
Once he becomes one of the strongest out there, who would dare to disrespect him?
Of course, he also not planning to reveal all of his secrets to them. He only thought of assisting them without informing them of his secrets…
Vale soon left the classroom and returned to his dormitory. He was planning to help them later around seven in the evening.
Although he initially thought of doing this on Sunday, he wanted them to have more time to record the spell so he changed it to a few hours later.
As soon as he entered his room, he swiftly changed into more comfortable clothes before talking to the Dark Spirit in his shadow.
"Lotus, did you hear our conversation… You will be helping my classmates in their Spell Recording."
"Fine… However, I'll be drained quickly if I use my own energy. You have to supply me." Lotus answered with her ethereal voice.
Vale felt blessed just listening to her sweet and gentle tone of voice, if possible, he would like Lotus to be more active in conversation but unfortunately, she can't spend her energy on useless matters.
Since she's no longer in the Spirit World, the abundant spiritual energy is no longer within her reach. She would have to always calculate her move in order to not waste her energy.
"I'll supply you. You mentioned that aside from Spiritual Energy, you can also use Dark Energy, right? I have plenty of those." Vale said with a proud look on his face.
Vale has already confirmed one of the principles of this world, it is the higher vitality, the higher the Dark Energy reserves.
Since he has 10.05 Vitality Points, his Dark Energy Reserves would have twice that of an adult practitioner. According to his knowledge, having 4 to 5 points in Vitality is considered normal while his 10 points in the same attribute can only be achieved through the help of the Arcane Arts like potion, ritual, or mysticism.
"Hmm… I can tell. That's why I suggested it." Lotus replied perfunctory making Vale a bit speechless.
"Ahem. I see… Very well, I'll look forward to your help later. In any case, they already know about you so it shouldn't be that shocking to reveal your secrets." Vale muttered.
He previously thought of revealing his Magic Circle to his classmates but changed his idea after his long chat with the Dark Spirit last night.
Vale soon fell asleep as he felt the need to recharge his energy.
***
A few hours passed quickly as Vale completed his nap and assisted his friend with their spell recording after their dinner.
They soon revealed an excited look on their faces as they realized that they will be helped by the Dark Spirit that Vale summoned in the assessment.
They have never expected this at all!
***
On Monday, Lisa and the others surprised the whole class after revealing that they'd already recorded the Darkness Manipulation Spell Model!
