FULL NOVELXO Chapter 33 New Batch
After a few hours, Kyle finished his training as he visited the laboratory. It was about time for the delivery of the batch of corpses.
He wasn't sure of the exact time so he decided to be early. He can't be late for this or he would lose his chance to extract the corpses.
"You're here… Are you going to find new books?" Heinz asked after seeing Kyle enter the laboratory. He's still wearing his laboratory gown like he normally would inside the laboratory and was inspecting a few mystical materials that seem to have been found in the ocean.
Kyle thought of this since he can see some barnacles and terrible rust in the few items. He then cleared his random thought as he replied.
"Yes, Master Heinz. Are you busy? Can you suggest a book for me?" He asked.
Heinz thought for a moment before he agreed. It is indeed about time since he should've more or less read those fundamental books about Dark Arts.
"Alright, read that book Contemporary Rituals of the Human Era. You may not understand much about it but it will at least make you familiar with words and such once you entered the Academy. Aside from that, it might help you select which branch you'd be specializing in…"
"Branch specialization? Does it happen in the second year in the Academy?" Kyle asked curiously.
"No… It'll be in the fourth year. The first three years will be fundamentals for all branches."
"I see… I'll look for the book." Kyle replied as he went to find the book on the first shelf.contemporary romance
He easily found the book but he didn't immediately pick it up as he looked at his master. Seeing that he wasn't busy, he decided to confirm the things he heard from Denise.
It wasn't that he didn't believe her but he knows that experts would normally have better and more detailed answers.
"Master Heinz, I heard from Denise that many higher-year students left for practical training outside the Academy's territory… Do you know what they would normally do at that time? I'm curious…"
"Hah… You haven't even entered the Academy and you're already curious…" Heinz chortled as he continued what he was doing.
Kyle scratches his head as Heinz was indeed right. He was too excited about this.
Nevertheless, he at least tried… If he didn't, it would keep him at night unable to fall asleep.
After picking up the gray book with a cover drawing of a magic circle he wasn't aware of, he decided not to leave and read it on the sofa.
The Contemporary Rituals of the Human Era contains various rituals that require prayers, magic circle drawing, candles, and some even needs sacrifices.
However, just like what Heinz said, he couldn't understand most of it as it requires to be read in another language he wasn't familiar with.
'Is this Oardic?' Kyle wryly smiled after reading the content.
The previous Kyle had only learned Soineti and a little bit of Heumish because of his desire to attend the Knights Academy.
The main prayers needed to complete the ceremony were written in Oardic so he can't even tell what was being requested or summoned in this ritual. He can only have some vague understandings thanks to the few sentences written in Soineti…
"Master Heinz, I need to learn another language… Do you have any idea?" Kyle asked as he gave up after skimming over a dozen of pages.
Heinz looked at him for a moment before shaking his head.
"It's not something you can learn in a few days. You'll slowly learn the language in your first three years in the academy."
"T-that's great… Do you have any translation dictionary I can use instead?" Kyle helplessly asked. It's better to learn it early. With his heightened intelligence he believed that learning a language wouldn't take him very long.
Clink!
Suddenly, the door of the laboratory opened as three Variants came in with a cart of corpses each!
'Ugh… They're already stripped naked.' Kyle felt a bit disappointed since he can't loot them.
Anyway, he immediately acted like he was surprised by their appearance. As soon as the Variants left, Kyle asked cautiously.
"Master Heinz, is the recruitment still not over? These guys seem to be around my age as well."
As he said this, he observed the injuries in the bodies of the young girls and boys.
Without waiting for Heinz to reply, Kyle realized the difference in their deaths.
"Aahhh… This is different."
All of them seem to have died similarly to the middle-aged woman he had seen last month. The one that has given him 1.50 points for his Strength.
They were shot in the head or pierced by a sharp object. If it's really a gun, it doesn't seem to have a high caliber since the bullet didn't pierce through the other side of their skull.
"Don't think too much… Just study hard so you won't end up like them." Heinz replied after thinking for a moment. He seem to have a few more things to say but decided to hold back.
Noticing that his master didn't want to explain, Kyle didn't follow up and decided to just line up the corpses as he did before.
[ Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]
"Yes…" Kyle answered as he looked at the female corpse. She's blonde and seems to be around 16 to 17 years old. Her body is also very cold like the others.
He couldn't help but pity this young lady for dying at such a young age.
[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Agility +0.31 ]
'So high?' Kyle was surprised as this result shows that this young girl is better than Gower and the others.
His lamenting face has already changed into a grinning one but he immediately tried to control his emotions.
He might be seen as someone who has a fetish again.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. As soon as he lifted his head, he noticed that Heinz was looking at him with his serene and deep brown eyes...
The latter then shifted his gaze back to his experiment while shaking his head.
"…"
