Chapter 90 Research

nVale returned to his dormitory after having his lunch with Leonore and the others.
nHe actually asked Leonore if she was aware of the details of Wilfred’s Fear Stream and Spectral Hands.
nUnfortunately, because these couple of spells weren’t easily seen, she can’t provide a satisfying answer. Leonore only knows what was written in the Dark Spell Book.
nThe Fear Stream affects the mind of the target as the name suggests while Spectral Hands summons a hand that seems to have come from Hell. The summoned hand was also capable of touching the souls of the target.
nBased on what they know, the Spectral Hands are made for offensive moves while Spirit Hands was for defensive and the Ghost Hand was for support.
nSince Ghost Hand’s Advanced Realm is already so strong while being a support-type only, it means that the Spectral Hands’ higher realm is much stronger than the Ghost Hand.
nVale sat on the couch in the living room of his dormitory.
n‘Should I just go to the library?’ Vale mused. Although Wilfred’s spell shouldn’t be in a higher realm, he shouldn’t underestimate it. After all, his Spell Dispersion has its limit as well and he can’t be careless.
nAnyway, he already read hundreds of books in his master’s laboratory so he knows that the information he wanted may not necessarily be written in the books at their library.
nAt the moment, he’s currently waiting for Zeno or Harith to return since these two might know a few things about the two Dark Spells that Wilfred has.
nAfter all, they should be classmates with Wilfred and they might know other things that he wasn’t aware of.
nClick!
nThe door opened as Zeno and Harith finally returned after an hour.
nThey were carrying a bag of snacks and they seemed to be chatting about the club they’d joined.
n“Vale! You’re here! We heard about your duel against Wilfred, is that true?”
nHarith’s eyes lit up after seeing Vale seated on the couch.
nZeno was also interested in this news so he listened attentively. Even though he was confident of himself, he wouldn’t dare challenge someone who had come from the First Generation or the Founding Members of the Darkness Path.
nHe didn’t expect that Vale was so unpredictable.
nHe was previously looking down on Vale since he was from the countryside but his past actions were something that he simply can’t ignore.
n“It’s true… I actually want to ask you about this person.”
nVale replied with a helpless smile as he already expected that they’d heard the news.
nSince there wasn’t a lot of entertainment in the academy, gossiping would normally become everyone’s pastime so he wasn’t too surprised.
nFurthermore, they weren’t busy in their clubs yet since they are still in their first week.
nThey will only become busy with their clubs in the next week after the recruitment week was over.
n“Do you want to know about Wilfred’s Dark Spells? They’re Fear Stream and Spectral Hands.” Harith immediately said.
nVale gently nodded as he replied.
n“Mhm… I’m aware of it. However, can you tell me more about this spell other than the things found in the book? You can also tell me about Wilfred’s ability. That would be helpful.” Vale asked as he has to be prepared for his duel against Wilfred.
nHe would never underestimate any of his opponents.
nZeno and Harith happily assisted Vale in his research and they informed him everything they know about Wilfred.
nThey informed him that Wilfred has 16 Spirit Strands… Based on what they heard, he can last up to 8 minutes in Phantasm State and his Magic Zone reaches up to 9 meters. Furthermore, Wilfred seems to have learned those two spells 3 years ago!
nHis mastery over those spells shouldn’t be that bad.
n“Nine meters? Not ninety?” Vale asked in surprise.
nZeno and Harith nodded in unison so Vale was a bit dumbfounded.
nThe range was too small!
n‘Is he not training his Phantasm State?’ Vale couldn’t help but add inwardly. Compared to Wilfred’s 8 minutes duration, his range was unimpressive!
n“It’s indeed about nine meters. Why? Isn’t that quite impressive already?” Zeno asked.
n“…”
nVale didn’t know how to react since even his friend in the workshop, Denise White, had a longer range than Wilfred!
nAt that time, Denise almost had 20 meters in her range!
nHe thought that this distance was quite normal at that age so he had really worked hard over the past year to achieve his current limit.
nHe can even recall how he achieved a 25-meter range in his magic zone, 90 seconds in duration, and 2 minutes in cooldown of his Phantasm State. That was only in a few weeks of learning the Dark Arts!
n“Are you too surprised?” Harith asked after seeing Vale unable to reply.
n“Well… I’m surprised. However, may I ask the range of your magic zone?” Vale asked.
nHarith and Zeno looked at each other before nodding. They didn’t seem to mind telling their Magic Zone.
nAlthough they shouldn’t be revealing the details of their current ability, Harith and Zeno decided to inform Vale since they believe that he can’t do anything about it and that they would also quickly improve in the Academy.
n“I have nine meters similar to Wilfred. As for the duration, It’s several minutes.” Zeno replied. He seems to be proud that he’s equal to Wilfred.
n“I can reach seven and a half meters… However, that can be easily expanded especially with the help of our current subject, Fundamentals of the Magic Zone.” Harith replied with a smile.
nHe seem satisfied with his current achievement so Vale didn’t comment about it.
nNevertheless, Vale finally has someone to compare to. He thanked the two for all the information they gave and he also invited them to watch his duel.
nThe two were planning to watch even without his invitation so they immediately agreed.
nOn the next day, Vale somehow manage to wake up early so he was able to get his breakfast that was served early in the morning.
nAfter entering the classroom, all his classmates looked at him with excitement…
nThey have obviously heard about his upcoming duel with Wilfred.
n“…”
nVale could only sigh as he found his seat beside Chad Bulmung.
nAs soon as he sat down, Chad’s words almost made him choke.
n“Vale, are you really going to fight Wilfred to win Leonore’s heart? Haa~ You’re so brave… I didn’t think that you were such a hot-blooded person. I wonder what you see in her to even provoke the Moontomb Family for her.”𝘪𝑟.𝑐ℴ𝘮
