nEvelyn didn’t look properly at Vale, but she used her Magic Zone to observe him.

nShe was expecting to sense Vale’s leaking aura of Incorruptible Body. However, she was disappointed that he didn’t even have a tiny amount of it!

nAfter all, if it was leaking, it would mean that Vale had reached the peak stage of this Body Incorruptible Body’s Elementary Realm. If that were the case, they would follow Master Heinz’s request and give Vale a potion to help him advance to the Intermediate Realm…

n‘He’s no good… He already learned the spell for several years, and it’s only at the early-stage or mid-stage of Elementary Realm.’ Evelyn thought as she decided not to give the potion to Vale since it would just be a waste. If he can’t reach the peak stage for more than three years, then there was no point giving the potion to him.

nOf course, she didn’t think that Vale could have any mystical items that could suppress it since such items couldn’t be easily acquired. To be exact, any items that could suppress someone’s aura, presence, or ability were rarely found and could be very expensive.

nEdward and Odell thought of the same thing as they exchanged glances.

nRight now, they could tell that Vale wasn’t that great. As a matter of fact, they even asked about him from their seniors in second-year or even their clubmates, but none of them knew about him. They seem to have heard about Vale having decent Spirit Strands, but that was it. Those who were known in the Academy were still those seniors in the 9th year or 10th year who had completed difficult missions outside the Academy.

nSome of them were even involved in dealing with the members of the Secret Organization.

n‘If we’re in the same year, our names will surely be known by everyone in the Academy. However, Senior Vale didn’t even achieve anything that would make him famous to everyone. Is he not using his Spell Dispersion and Incorruptible Body properly?’ Evelyn thought as she shook her head.

n“Senior Disciple, you must have heard about us. Master Heinz told us to greet you, so we came here meet you. We only had a chance to visit you today since we were busy in the Academy.” Evelyn said as Edward and Odell nodded in agreement.

nVale, who was confused by their sudden entry and Nadine’s aura moving away, finally realized what was going on.

n‘I thought Senior Nadine forgot something in the Arena. I guess she just wants us to have some free time. Ahh… Is she thinking of inviting them to the club?’ Vale thought as he recalled that no students joined their club this year.

nHe then looked at the three with a frown as he couldn’t recall that he had junior disciples. Master Heinz had never mentioned it, but he decided not to expose his Master.

n“Mhmm… I see. It’s our first time meeting, and I don’t know your names yet. Since we will be in the same Academy for several years, let’s introduce ourselves first. I’m Vale Chambers, and I am currently a fourth-year student.”

nAs he said this, he used his Divine Sense to check their Spell Lights.

nDark Arts Practitioner with 3 filled Spell Lights.

nDark Arts Practitioner with 3 filled Spell Lights.

nDark Arts Practitioner with 3 filled Spell Lights.

n‘Three Spell Lights already? Did they learn the Darkness Manipulation Spell before entering the Academy?’ Vale silently thought.

n“I’m Evelyn Miller… I may not be Master Heinz’s Senior Disciple, but he told me that I’m his Number 1 Disciple.” Evelyn said proudly. She recalled how Heinz told her that she was the best disciple he ever had.

nIn the meantime, Vale was unsure how to react to that introduction.

n‘Hmm? What does that even mean?’ Vale knitted his brow in confusion, but he didn’t speak.

n“I’m Edward Clark. It’s nice meeting you, Senior Vale.”

n“I’m Odwell Ellis. All three of us already reached the Intermediate Realm of our Incorruptible Body. However, it seems that you’re only at the mid-stage of Elementary Realm, Senior. It will be quite embarrassing if you have lower talent than us, so please don’t spread your identity as our Senior Disciple. We will be in charge of spreading the Malefic Branch’s influence from now on. Can you do it for us, Senior Vale?” Odwell asked.

nThis time, Vale realized that he was indeed not overthinking about their attitude. They were indeed dismissive of his identity as their Senior Disciple.

n‘Intermediately Realm, huh…’

nHe found it quite funny how these kids were so confident in themselves.

n“So you’re not here to join our Club?” Vale asked as he decided not to be provoked by these young students.

n“Mhmm? No, we’re not here for that.” Evelyn answered with a frown. She thought that Vale would act out if they showed such behavior. She was even prepared to challenge him to a duel since she was very confident with her Spell Dispersion.

n“I see…” Vale nodded in understanding.

n‘If you’re still annoying after a few years, I hope your Incorruptible Body and Spell Dispersion are at higher levels. They will probably give a decent increase in my Spell Mastery if I extract them at that time.’ Vale thought as he wasn’t thinking of extracting their low-level Spells for now. It would be a waste to take them so early. He would let them grow stronger for now.

nAs he reached this thought, he couldn’t help but think of himself as a genius. ‘Master Heinz, I hope you have more disciples like them.’

nHis eyes lit up at this idea, and he looked at Evelyn with a smile. “Right… Are there only the three of you? I mean, are there any more disciples under our Master?”

nThe sudden question confused the three, but they still answered proudly. 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮

n“That’s right! Master has 30 more disciples, but only the three of us were allowed to enter the Academy and spread our names as disciples of a new Branch!” Odell spoke, filled with pride.

nEvelyn and Edward grinned as they were also proud of this.

nOn the other hand, realizing he could have more targets, Vale smiled happily like the three.
