nVale was curious about the Dark Spells that Wilfred learned… Thankfully, Wilfred’s companions seemed to notice that the surrounding students had taken interest in their matter.

nWith a deliberate increase in their voices, they also started praising their incredible classmate.

n“You’re the best, Wilfred. I think even Maya won’t have such great Dark Spells. It is actually the Spectral Hands! I heard that you’ll need at least eight Spirit Strands before you can even attempt it!”

n“Indeed… I believe that you should have been the Student Representative. Spectral Hands and Fear Stream. The combination of these two will surely put you on top of all the first-year students.”

nWilfred was certainly glad after hearing his classmate’s praise. He was indeed disappointed that he wasn’t selected as the student representative. However, since his goal for coming here isn’t as simple as being part of the Student Council, he didn’t take it to heart and moved on quite quickly…

nWhat he really wanted was to get closer to the Order of the Evanescent Vessels and learn even a bit of their secrets.

n“Thank you… I will be working hard as a member of the Ranker’s Club…” Wilfred said to his senior before glancing at the crowd who was curious about him.

nAs soon as his eyes landed on a few cute girls, his smile widened even more as he acted cool while fixing the collar of his uniform.

nIn the meantime, Vale’s group was also quite impressed with the two skills Wilfred learned. Only Lisa was clueless about it.

n“Spectral Hands and Fear Stream is indeed at the higher end of the First Tier Dark Spells. As expected of a seedling from the Founding Members of the Dark Arts Faction.” 𝘳.𝑐ℴ𝓂

nChad Bulmung commented like an experienced old man as he touched his chin. His mind filled with thoughts.

n“With those two Dark Spells, I think he has already planned all his future Dark Spells…” Vale commented as he also knows that those two Dark Spells will really work well together. Unfortunately, it has a high requirement so not everyone can think of having these spells in the early stage.

nHowever, if you’re in the late stage already, you wouldn’t really select this Dark Spell anymore.

nSince the number of Spell Models that a spellcaster can create is limited, no one would pick several First Tier Dark Spells as their Spell Model composition… If they grow stronger, they would consider Second Tier Dark Spells and wouldn’t pick high-end First Tier for sure.

n“Tomorrow, there will be a Spirit Strand Test on everyone… I believe Lisa doesn’t have a single spell model yet… If you reached five spirit strands, I will suggest a good Dark Spell for you. You can learn it easily and it’s also strong.” Aubrey said with a smile.

nShe doesn’t seem to care about Wilfred’s matter and was thinking of something else.

nLisa was still a bit unsure but she was not an idiot either. She can vaguely tell that the selection of Dark Spells is very important.

nAfter considering for a moment, she probed Aubrey… “Can I ask if it’s possible to do it after a few years when I’ve learned enough?”

nSince selecting a Dark Spell is important, she wanted to select them on her own… After all, even though Aubrey seems very kind, they only know each other a few hours ago.

nThere was no way she could trust her future on her.

nHowever, as soon as she asked this, she felt she was scolded.

n“No!”

nAubrey, Chad, and even Wade Saxon of the Spirit Crafters Club answered in unison frightening her for a moment.

nThe three looked at each other for a moment before letting Aubrey explain the reason why.

n“It will be very difficult to enter the Phantasm State if you’re already 16 years old. That’s a requirement to have a Dark Spell. If you’re creating a Spell Model at that age, you will require an expert’s assistance to do it for you. That’s a difficult thing even for the experts so no one would do it unless you pay them a hefty sum.”

nAt this explanation, Lisa’s eyes lit up.

n“No wonder 13, 14, and 15 years old have a chance of being accepted as a First Year Student of the Academy. That made sense!” 𝓪.𝒄𝒎

nShe was previously curious why all the Arcane Academies were accepting these ages in one group. It was for this reason all along!

n‘So there is a disadvantage if you start stepping into the Arcane Path at an older age.’

n“Thank you for informing me. I will certainly take your suggestions for my first dark spells…” Lisa added. She felt a bit excited learning about the Dark Spells and couldn’t help but look forward to tomorrow’s Spirit Strand Test.

nIn the end, Vale and Chad were undecided about the club they wanted to join. They can only delay their selection and check the Assembly Hall again tomorrow after their class. This event is open for the whole week anyway.

nAt the very least, they visited all the open stalls in the Assembly Hall. Although according to Chad, other Clubs didn’t come to the Assembly Hall for some reason so they didn’t see all the clubs yet.

nPerhaps, their requirement is too high or they already have plenty of members. There is also a chance that they were just lazy and had forgotten the recruitment today.

nClick…

nAfter Vale entered the seventh room in the dormitory, he realized that his roommates were still out. They might still be in the Assembly Hall or still eating at the cafeteria so he didn’t think too much of it.

nOn his bed, Vale was still thinking of the club he’ll be joining…

n“The Battle Arena Committee is good since I’ll see plenty of battle techniques… The Spirit Crafters Club is interesting since there will be plenty of mystical artifacts… As for the Club that seems to deal with human corpses, there is only the Survivor’s Club, Spirit Body Research Club, and the Underworld Prier Club…”
