Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

"Huh?" Vale was speechless after hearing Chad's words.

He felt that his brain stopped functioning after failing to immediately understand what he was saying… However, Lisa and Aubrey's complicated gaze jolted him…

"W-wait… That's not true. How did the rumors go that way?" Vale wanted to explain but the door of the classroom suddenly opened.

It was Professor Stella Harwin.

Aside from teaching the Elementary Spirit Law, she also teaches the language subject, Oardic and Soineti.

"I should be your professor in Fundamentals of Magic Zone but since we have a new professor in the Academy, we have decided to let her take that subject and I'll be teaching you this Language Subject instead." Professor Harwin explained.

Vale sighed at her sudden arrival. He can only sit properly as he greeted the Professor together with his classmates.

Professor Harwin didn't take their attendance but she glanced at them for a moment to confirm that everyone is present.

However, Vale was sure that Stella had looked at him for a brief moment before she shifted her gaze.

He wasn't sure if he was being paranoid but it seems that his duel against Wilfred was also heard by this Professor. She probably heard that it's all about Leonore as well.

He wouldn't be surprised if she heard this rumor.

Vale took a deep breath as he calmed his mind. There was no point worrying about this as it would just affect his studies…

After a few moments, Vale listened attentively in the class.

Oardic, or the so-called Magic Language, is something that is very important to him. Almost all the rituals of the Dark Arts need to use this language to activate.

Furthermore, it's also important for another reason…

"Does anyone here knows which Arcane Path uses Oardic in most of their spells? Of course, the Darkness Path is not included… Raise your hands."

Professor Stella Harwin asked her students.

A few of them raised their hands and Stella randomly called for one.

"I heard that the Holy Arts Faction uses Oardic… There is also the Mystic Path but I've never met any of them before. I only heard that they use Oardic in most cases." Felicia answered.

Stella nodded at her but her answer wasn't enough.

"While the Holy Arts Faction or those practitioners of the Radiant Path uses Oardic, it was only in the latter years of their development. Most of their Spells and Rituals were still using Eigina… It is an ancient language rumored to be used by the angels. This means that even if they can't use Oardic, it's not a big problem for them. " Stella explained attracting everyone's attention.

This is their first time hearing about the angels being related to the magic language. So most of them were shocked after hearing this.

They may have vaguely heard about the Eigina before but none of them connected it to the angels depicted by many churches.

"In any case, you're right about the Mystic Arts. However, there is two more Arcane Path. Which Faction uses the Oardic Language, who can give it a try?" The Professor asked.

She called out a couple more students but unfortunately, they weren't able to guess.

It wasn't the Summoning Arts Faction, the Elemental Arts Faction, or Beast Arts Faction…

The Elemental Arts Faction may have a few uses in Oardic Language, but it wouldn't be a big deal for them even if they can no longer use the said language.

With a few remaining factions on the choices, Professor Harwin decided to reveal the answer.

"One of them has a very popular Arcane Academy among the commoners so maybe this is why you weren't able to guess easily. Anyway, that is the Combat Arts Faction. Their academy may be the weakest in ranking but it's simply because of their low requirement. They just keep accepting anyone with a bit of skill." Stella explained while looking down at that academy.

Vale and the others finally understood as they gently nodded in realization.

The Combat Arts may not sound like an Arcane Path but their practitioners are actually numerous. After all, this Arcane Academy that promotes combat arts would teach Sword Art, Blade Art, Spear Art, and even Palm and Fist Art!

They weren't simple techniques that can be learned by any normal soldier or warrior. They were Arcane Arts that are difficult to learn unless you possess a talent for the specific branch of Combat Art.

Nevertheless, because of the wide range of Combat Arts, it was no wonder that there were still plenty of people that can be accepted into this academy.

However, because they were focusing on quantity instead of quality, the practitioners of this Arcane Path weren't that impressive…

"So it's the Combat Art Academy..." Chad muttered. This Academy is indeed not popular among nobles, rich families, or those who wanted to look rich.

"How are they even using Oardic in their Combat Arts? They aren't casting spells, right?" Lisa asked innocently.

To be honest, Vale also wanted to ask this question since he didn't study the other Arcane Paths.

Professor Harwin smiled as she knows that Lisa doesn't have a background in mysticism so she felt that it was normal that she ask this question.

"That's correct, Lisa. They won't be casting spells similar to what we do when we activate our Dark Spells. However, they still use Oardic in their Chants. These chants may be incapable of harming other people but they can improve their power with these chants."

"Is it the Enchantment that I've heard of before?" Lisa clarified.

"That's correct."

Noticing that Lisa was no longer going to ask questions, Carmen raised her hand.

"What's the other Academy, Professor Harwin?"

Professor Harwin didn't put up the suspense as she immediately answered.

"It's the Alchemy Arts Faction… Their Arcane Path uses Oardic most of the time."

"Ah? Does the Alchemist use Oardic to chant as well? What kind of Spell or Ritual are they doing anyway? I thought they were only focused on controlling their flames and learning how to refine pills and concoct potions." Carmen asked curiously.

"Indeed… That is also what I've heard. It's quite surprising."

"I've never seen the Alchemists in our family use Oardic at all."

The students started expressing their doubts since most of them have Alchemists in their homes. They have met them plenty of times but they've never heard them use Oardic or even use spells at all.

Professor Stella Harwin smiled as he expected this reaction from them.

Nevertheless, she doesn't have plans of explaining it to them since their class isn't all about that.

She just continued teaching them how to read Oardic until it was time for the next class.
