Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

'What is it this time?'

The sudden change in the surroundings alarmed Kyle as he stepped back intuitively. Although he was quite far from the dome of shadow, his senses is telling him that he was in danger.

Then, Heinz spoke again as he reminded his student.

"Return… Don't look at it for long or you'll suffer. I'll be monitoring this place."

With that said Kyle no longer hesitated as he returned inside the workshop worriedly. He wasn't sure what happened just now but since his Master insisted, he knows that he has to suppress his curiosity.

Kyle could only sigh as he sat on his bed and pray that everything will be alright…

'Ahh… Am I even a believer?' Kyle suddenly realized that the god he was faithful to may not even exist in this world.

With that in mind, he searched the other Kyle's memories to see whether his faith lies in some gods or goddesses in this world.

To his surprise, Kyle was actually an atheist… It was no wonder he doesn't have clear memories of attending worship services in the city. He even has to dig into this memory just to be sure of it.

It was all because of his father who didn't bother introducing him to any of the faiths… It's probably because of his stingy personality that doesn't want to donate any of his earnings.

Kyle shook his head after recalling this bit of memory.

Anyway, being an atheist doesn't mean that he's unaware of the widespread churches on the continent. There were five of them and they have churches or congregations in every large city or town.

In Melthorn City where he came from, the most prevalent was the Church of the Fortune Goddess followed by the Church of the Three Paragons.

As for the other three churches, they only have small chapels in the city to accommodate the few believers in the area.

Kyle shook his head as he decided to just pray nonetheless… If it's ineffective, he'll consider praying to the other gods, especially the Fortune Goddess to bless him with wealth and health.

After he prayed for his safety and his fast recovery, he immediately fell asleep as his body was indeed quite tired after consuming that potion.

When he woke up, it was already late at night and if not for Denise waking him up, he would probably miss his dinner since the kitchen staff was about to close the canteen.

After finishing his dinner, he went out to practice his Phantasm State again only to see Denise waiting for him.

"Denise, do you know what happened this morning?" Kyle instantly asked.

The laboratory is closed so he can't ask his Master. As for the kitchen staff, he knows that they wouldn't know anything considering their position.

"Why do you think I would know? It's not like you're unaware of my status?" Denise looked at him humorously as if he was an idiot.

Speaking of which, she was indeed correct. For some reason, he felt that Denise would know everything that was going on at the academy grounds

He can only laugh at himself after realizing this habit.

"My bad… Do you know when will master return?" He asked.

"Yes… He also mentioned to me what happened." Denise replied with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Y-you…" Kyle felt that he was being played around but he was already an adult. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before asking the young girl calmly.

"What did Master Heinz say?"

"Tsk… You're not fun… He said that the Untainted Sentinels were only trying to show their might. Nothing to be alarmed about…"

"Huh?" Kyle looked at Denise as he can't tell whether this girl is joking or not.

"You're telling me that they only came here to show off? They destroyed two airships…" Kyle added as he was quite dumbstruck at this explanation. He can even see that the reparations and construction are still going on.

Denise can understand Kyle's feelings about this but she's also quite helpless. She can only remind him of what she heard from Sir Heinz.

"Sometimes, knowing less can save you from trouble. It's better not to dig up on it until you're on the same level with them."

Kyle understood what she meant so he can only suppress his curiosity. After a few moments, he recalled something and asked.

"Do you know if someone died?"

Denise seem to know that he was going to ask this so she answered with a smile.

"Don't worry, I reminded Sir Heinz about your fetish. He went out to pick up the corpses for you to see."

Cough! Cough!

Kyle choked on his saliva as soon as he heard Denise's words. It seems that she was spying on him most of the time!

"What did you say to Master Heinz?!"

"Heh heh… Do you not like it? Should I tell him not to bring any more corpses here?" Denise said with a teasing smile.

"W-wait… That's not what I meant." Kyle replied as he was afraid that his supply of corpses would be cut off if she really did that.

This girl is truly unafraid of him but he can't blame her for that since he had truly learned a lot from her.

"I know… Just ask your master if you have more questions about what happened. However, I suggest that you just focus on your study… Once you entered that academy, it won't be easy for you."

"Hmm?" Kyle curiously looked at her.

"Since you're not from a prestigious family, you will be treated differently. If you're targeted inside the academy, even Master Heinz would not be able to protect you.."contemporary romance

'Just like what happened to my sister…' Denise added in her mind.

Kyle remembered the novels and books he read before including some moves and dramas so he gently nodded. He can understand what she was implying with her words and wasn't surprised about it.

After thanking her, Kyle continued with his Phantasm State training while hoping that his Master would return soon.
