Thest ss of the day was finally over.


    As everyone was thinking of going to their club or looking for a suitable club, Vale has to excuse himself to visit the Headmaster''s Office.


    Knock. Knock.


    Vale was about to introduce himself after knocking on the door but the knob suddenly tilted as a familiar voice came to his ears.


    "Get in."


    It was the Headmaster''s voice and Vale couldn''t guess whether he was in a good mood or not.


    "Headmaster, you''ve called for me?" Vale asked as he looked at the mysterious Headmaster seated behind an expensive wooden table at the center of the room.


    "Yes… Before we get to the topic, I heard from Professor Charlotte that your Magic Zone only reaches 17 meters… That was odd, I''m sure that you reached me when I was still standing about 50 meters away from you." Headmaster Jean spoke amusedly. He didn''t seem angry that he gave false information to his professor and was simply curious why he did that.


    Vale didn''t expect this sudden question so he wasn''t able to answer immediately. All his thoughts were rted to his duel against Wilfred and how the headmaster is rted to that…


    "Err… I just thought that I can''t reveal my real limits… I learned it from Master Heinz." Vale said as he can only me his master. Anyway, he''s not here so the headmaster wouldn''t be able to ask the old man.


    "He mentioned to you not to show off?" Headmaster Jean asked curiously.


    "That''s correct, Professor. I''m only following his words." Vale answered. Anyway, his master indeed mentioned that it was better not to reveal all his capabilities in case he had to fight someone in the academy.


    He didn''t specifically mention not doing it with a professor.


    "Fine… Let''s leave it at that. In any case, it is going to be traumatic for your ssmates if you reveal your real limits… I didn''t think that the Malefic Branch that your Master was trying to aplish would produce such an incredible result. If all the other products or perhaps disciples of this branch would have the same skill as you, it might really be an official branch of the Faction…"


    "I understand… However, Master Heinz mentioned that it is still iplete."


    "Of course it''s iplete. If the new Branch is only limited to the improvement of your Magic Zone and possesses weird Dark Spells, it wouldn''t be enough to bepared with the other branches. Even if we put a specialization in the Academy, no one would want to study it. You''ll probably need 8 to 10 more years before the Faction can ept this new branch and let the Academy teach it to the Dark Arts Practitioner." Headmaster Jean calmly exined.


    Vale could only nod as he wasn''t really thinking of it. He only wanted to see the limits of the Malefic Branch since if he had to be honest, he felt that it was very suitable for him and also very convenient when fighting against Spellcasters.


    "Very well. I called you here to discuss your duel against Wilfred. Are you nning to kill him?" The Headmaster asked.


    Vale almost choked after hearing this question.


    "Kill him?" Vale never had the thought of doing so. At most, he thought of beating him up.


    "Wait, can I really kill him?" Vale changed his question as he solemnly looked at the Headmaster.


    The man was obviously d after hearing Vale''s determination.


    Headmaster Jean tapped his desk a couple of times out of habit before answering with his gentlest voice.


    "You can destroy his body… I only need his soul."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Vale felt a chill after hearing this. The Headmaster is giving him a go signal to not only defeat Wilfred in the battle but also kill him!


    Needless to say, the Headmaster can only get Wilfred''s soul if Vale managed to sessfully kill him.


    This was unexpected! He even thought that the Headmaster would reprimand him for fighting against the Moontomb Family!


    This Headmaster is indeed evil! As expected of the Dark Arts Academy!


    ''I think I''m getting involved in something extremely dangerous… Is it rted to the first generation families?'' He mused.


    Vale then asked a few more questions to the Headmaster before he went out of the office.


    His face was filled with determination as he pocketed the Mystical Artifact loaned to him by the Headmaster.


    ***


    Over the next few days, the first-year students started getting used to their new life inside the academy.


    During this time, they also found their Student Clubs and started getting to know a few senior students thanks to thework brought by being a member of the club.


    Furthermore, the name of the students who were living in the Seven Pirs Garden started spreading throughout the whole first year.


    This actually confused Vale for a moment since he didn''t think that it was important.


    Apparently, not anyone can upy a room in this area so Vale finally understood why his ce looks a bit special. Not even some nobles can get a room in the Seven Pirs Garden.


    After learning that Vale is actually in this dormitory, they couldn''t help but reassess their evaluation of him.


    It appears that he wasn''t simply a lucky noble from the countryside… He must possess a level of influence in the Academy if he was able to enter the Seven Pirs Garden!


    Nevertheless, the most surprising news that Vale has heard was perhaps Lisa''s achievement. She finally entered her Phantasm State on Saturday morning giving them pleasant news before they started their ss in the afternoon of that day.


    She even has a 10-meter range Magic Zone at the very start so it alerted some of the students who were sons and daughters of some small noble families.


    They were itching to teach Lisa a lesson. They wanted to remind her not to show off in front of the ss but unfortunately for them, Aubrey was able to suppress them as soon as she learned their ns.


    As for the History ss and the Essential Dark Spell on this day, Vale found it very enlightening.


    This is true, especially for the Millton Kingdom History ss.


    The book Vale read in Heinz''sboratory is all about the Darkness Arcane Path so he reallycksmon knowledge outside.


    The history or outside knowledge that he knows are the things that ''Kyle'' has heard in the streets of Melthorn City and the vague history he learned in his primary school.


    On the next day, it was finally Sunday… It was the date of his duel against Wilfred Moontomb!
