Lisa looked at Vale curiously as she felt that he seemed troubled after the final item was shown to him.
She had no idea what was shown to him but it seem to have a deep connection to him or perhaps, it was something that he had personally seen before and had experienced its mystical ability.
'Should I ask him later about it?' Lisa mused as she couldn't help but feel curious.
Vale has always been a mystery to her after learning more about Spirit Strands and Spell Mastery…
When she first entered the academy, she can't really appreciate Vale's high Spirit Strands since she doesn't know much about them. This includes his Advanced-Level Mastery of his Ghost Hand Spell that he had shown to everyone.
However, after knowing plenty of things through her professors, classmates, and books in the library related to such topics, she can already tell how awesome Vale's achievement was as a 14-year-old student.
"Dalton Stranway." Professor Harrison called out.
Lisa then watched attentively as she knows that this guy is also quite special.
Right now, there were already four students with a score of 7 points so she was curious whether he could exceed their scores or not. Perhaps, the only remaining students she thought of getting a passing score were Dalton, Warren, and Jody who knows plenty of things.
Unfortunately, she was thinking too much. Dalton only scored 5 points and Warren only scored 6 points.
As for Jody, she only got 4 correct answers!
Lisa suddenly had to readjust her understanding of her classmates' intelligence…
'Having a high Spirit Strand doesn't seem to mean having high intelligence… It's unlike the book I've read. Or perhaps there's a catch?'
Lisa mused as she felt puzzled at the result of this assessment.
'Well, having high intelligence doesn't mean you'll be omniscient. You still need to study things and learn them through normal methods.'
The exam for this class was soon over and it was confirmed that no one passed.
Nevertheless, Professor Harrison wasn't bothered by it as if she was expecting this result.
Before she left the classroom, she reminded her students.
"Getting a perfect score in my assessment will be very difficult from now on so I'll be considerate and wouldn't mark your grades as failed."
After she left everyone was baffled for a moment… However, someone soon realized what was going on…
Leonore looked at Vale amusedly and muttered. "So she made it difficult so someone won't think of getting a Class Advancement Exam… No wonder it was so strange."
As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes lit up in understanding.
Perhaps, the professors have already heard about Vale's plan to skip the Intermediate Arithmetic Class!
The Professors don't seem to like this idea and made changes to their exams and made it even more difficult!
"So it was Vale's fault…" Lisa chimed in as she teased Vale.
Chad and others followed after and Vale didn't seem to mind all these jokes. He knows he was just being teased and took it lightly.
The next assessment soon followed.
It was from Music and Arts Class and although it was a difficult exam, it is within acceptable range, unlike Professor Harrison's impossible-to-pass assessment.
They simply have to write down several dance and musical rituals done by humans in the past that have been transformed into modern rituals.
These things appear quite random for them and they probably wouldn't use this in the near future… Nevertheless, Vale found this type of knowledge very important since he wouldn't be staying here in the academy forever.
He would soon get out of here after he takes his shadow from the current Headmaster. It may not be in this year but it'll definitely happen in a few years after he accumulated enough "favor" from the Headmaster.
"Vale, let's have our early lunch…" Lisa invited Vale after seeing that he was still seated.
The others have already stood up and rushed to the cafeteria since they were all hungry.
Vale then stood up and followed the others.
At this time, he also recalled something he was curious about…
Since Lisa seem to know plenty of things he decided to ask her about the matter that's been on his head over the past couple of days.
"Lisa, have you heard about the Arena Master in the Academy?"
Vale asked softly. He can still recall how the Headmaster called the President of the Battle Arena Committee an Arena Master. He has delayed researching it since he thought of asking Secretary Nadine about this after their next meeting.
However, after recalling how Lisa has been studious all this time, Vale thought of asking her instead.
Chad and Aubrey listened to their conversation but didn't make any comments.
They didn't seem surprised after hearing the word Arena Master so they must be aware of it as well.
Lisa then thought for a moment as she recalled what she had read about it.
"Arena Master? Well, I only know that you can only get that title after winning 10 duels in a row… Those duels must be in the same batch or in the higher years to be counted. Right, I seem to have read that your Club President must have this title to be elected."
Lisa replied.
Vale thanked her for answering this as he finally had some clarification about this matter.
'Arena Master, huh… I wonder what benefit they'll get from having that title.' Vale said inwardly. He knows that the Academy wouldn't be so stingy in giving rewards so he felt a bit curious.
In any case, their group didn't take long to finish their meal. It was a couple of pieces of buttered bread, a slice of meat, and a cold pudding…
After they returned to their classroom, it was time for their assessment of the Darkness Arcane Path.
As they were expecting a difficult exam, Professor Lucius Angelart simply told them that recording the Darkness Manipulation is already their assessment.
Instead of giving them a difficult exam, the Professor decided to lecture those who hadn't recorded their third Dark Spell yet.
However, before he did that, he looked at Vale and asked seriously.
"Student Vale, you're the only one who had recorded the Dark Spell ahead of schedule. Since you've passed perfectly in my assessment, are you planning on taking Class Advancement Exam in my class?"
