nContrary to their expectations, Vale heaved a sigh of relief after learning that the Headmaster would take care of this matter.

nHe wasn’t worried at all due to obvious reasons.

n‘He’ll take care of it for me… and for himself.’ Vale thought as he thanked Grover for informing him about this news. 𝑖𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝘮

nAs expected, the headmaster had really planned it out carefully.

nNow, with his intervention, all the evidence that could make Vale the culprit for the “missing” spirit would be gone.

nSoon, the Club Meeting was completed after introducing all the present members to the new members. Then, as a celebration, they eat some snacks personally made by Nadine and Clara, the Treasurer of the Club… They also brought chamomile tea which seems to be the President’s favorite tea.

nApparently, the tea was known for its calming effects and was frequently used as a sleep aid.

nThis made Vale realize that the President probably has a lot of things on his mind and needed this tea for that reason.

nThe President was the first one to leave followed by the Vice-President other members.

nAfter a while, it was only Priscilla, Philip, Vale, and Nadine that were left in the clubroom. No one would clean this place except for them so they have to clean the clubroom themselves.

n“These are the cleaning tools…” Nadine said with a smile as she opened a locker where all the tools are kept.

nPriscilla frowned at this as she asked. “Can we use our Dark Spells to clean the place instead?”

nNadine looked at her with widened eyes and hurriedly asked in concern.

n“Priscilla, did you learn a Dark Spell meant for cleaning? That’s not good. We don’t have many Spell Lights in our bodies. You have to choose carefully… You have to think about your future and the combination of your Spells if necessary. Why would you—”

n“Ahem… Senior Nadine. It’s not like that.” Priscilla answered as she felt a bit embarrassed after Nadine pointed it out. It was as if she was planning to become a janitor with the way her senior speaks!

n“Pfft—” Vale and Philip couldn’t suppress their laughter as they imagined Priscilla’s Spell Lights filled with Cleaning Spells.

nVale actually knows a couple of Dark Spell Models that were meant for such an odd task. It was normally used in Alchemy but even the Alchemist wouldn’t learn such a spell themselves.

nPriscilla glared at the two as she explained with exasperation.

n“Hey… I’m talking about my Gloom Force. That’s my first Spell Model. It’s already late-stage Elementary Realm so I have decent control over it. I can weaken it to push out only the trash or dirt. Besides, Vale also has Ghost Hands to take care of things.”

nNadine finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her explanation.

nThe Gloom Force is indeed a spell that can affect the surroundings. With Priscilla’s current mastery, it should be possible to use it for cleaning.

nThen, Vale’s three Ghost Hands would also work really well.

n“Very well, you can use your spell if you want. However, make sure not to break things inside the clubroom or you’ll pay for it.”

n“Yes, Senior Nadine…” Priscilla and the other two answered in unison.

nBefore Nadine left, Philip recalled something and immediately asked.

n“Senior, can we also have access to the recording crystals?”

n“Hmm? You can’t just access them freely. You have to make a formal request before you can view those recordings.” Nadine said with a teasing smile.

nPhilip was obviously disappointed after hearing that he can’t access those files even after joining the club.

nHowever, Nadine’s next words made him joyful once again…

n“Well, if you were assigned someday to clean or remove the dust in those crystals. Then no one will know if you viewed them or not. Alright, I’m leaving now. Lock the clubroom after you’re done cleaning.”

nThe three answered with affirmation as Nadine closed the door to let them work by themselves.

nPhilip clenched his fist in excitement.

nPriscilla also seemed happy after understanding the hint that Nadine left for them.

nIt was only Vale who was confused by all of this…

n“Recording Crystals?” Vale asked.

nHe seemed to have read about it in the books of Mystical Artifacts but he didn’t dwell on it too much.

n“Yes… All important battles within the Academy’s Arena are being recorded. Especially if it’s a battle to determine the Elite Rankers in the Academy.” Philip explained.

n“That’s right… So you can’t ask for the recording of your battle against Wilfred since the Academy won’t waste a recording crystal for that battle.” Priscilla added.

nOf course, Vale wasn’t really going to ask for the recording of his match but it was still good to know that there’s indeed no evidence that can be used against him.

n“I’m not curious about that… Anyway, do you know when can we “clean” the archive?” Vale asked as he looked at the door on the left side of the clubroom beside the washroom.

nHe now knows what that door was. Inside that room is definitely the place where all the recording crystals are kept.

n“Hmm… Look at this post in the bulletin board… The cleaning of the archive is done every month so we can check it at that time.” Philip answered as he looked at the schedule posted by Nadine.

nSeeing this, Vale couldn’t help but feel excited as well. He will certainly learn more about Spellcasters if he watches these recordings.

nThis is a great opportunity that he didn’t expect at all.

nHe thought that just having a chance to watch battles in the arena for free is already the greatest benefit he can get.

n“So you’re not aware of it and you still joined the club?” Priscilla curiously asked after seeing Vale’s reaction.

nVale scratches his head as he answered with a nod.

nThe three of them then talked about various things while cleaning the clubroom. In the end, Priscilla didn’t use her Dark Spell and just cleaned the room with the tools like Vale and Philip.
