Terrence felt vomiting after seeing how his Wind Arrow which was connected to his mind was shattered by that sword!
He thought that the young man wouldn't be able to react in time as he was too focused on the three Flaming Sparrows summoned by his senior…
Unfortunately, one of them seems to have noticed his plan and swiftly reminded him.
It was a failed attempt but he thought that it would at least ensure that the Flaming Sparrows would continue to burn their group…
He would be happy if these freshmen had their faces burned until they can no longer be recognized!
This is Brylle's signature move against his opponents after all. Anyone who messes with him would have their faces burned! He wouldn't kill them but humiliate them for the rest of their lives!
As he was thinking that his sacrifice would be worth it, he suddenly heard Brylle making some faint gurgling noise…
This confused him for a moment so he shifted his attention to his senior.
"W-what's that?!"
Since he's still in his Elemental State, he can see the dark spirit that seems to be made of a thick black cloud of smoke very clearly…
What's even more terrifying is what seemed like a long hair that was floating like a snake waving around the surroundings…
"Aahh!"
The others finally noticed the sudden appearance of the dark spirit as they shrieked in terror! After a few breaths, they collected themselves as they fired multiple spells in its direction.
Unfortunately, none of the spells worked! All the Elemental Spells seem to have been absorbed by the long hair as if it was an abyss that could devour anything!
This made them extremely afraid as they stared at the three freshmen like they were some sort of ghosts.
"They summoned a Demon! You evildoers!"
"Release him or we'll call the police!"
"If you kill our Senior, the Academy won't stop until they killed you!"
They immediately threatened whoever summoned this being as they realized that their spells weren't effective at all!
Of course, Vale wasn't planning of taking anyone's life at the moment. He simply ordered Lotus to restrain Brylle's movement and she did just that…
'I can replenish more of my energy if I take his soul.' Lotus suddenly spoke in Vale's mind and he immediately rejected the idea.
'In that case, don't call me out for three or four months. This person is not easy to deal with. He has three mystical artifacts protecting him and if I didn't destroy them, I would fail to restrain him. I already exhausted most of my energy reserves so keep it in mind.'
Vale sighed as he decided to think of a way to replenish her energy once he returned to the Academy.
Although they are in a secluded area, they are still in the middle of the city and they can't simply kill anyone. If the professors learned about what he did, he might no longer have a chance of going out of the Academy!
Being banned from going out would make him feel like a prisoner and he wouldn't allow that to happen.
"Relax… I'm not killing your senior. I'm just restraining him with a simple dark spell." Vale finally said to the group as he bluffed them about Lotus being some sort of Dark Spell instead of a living spirit.
Philip and Priscilla looked at Vale because of this. They were confused at first but in a brief moment, they realized what was going on as they couldn't help but feel amazed at his idea.
It's indeed not needed to let the enemies know about his abilities.
Making them think that the spirit was some kind of spell would make this "spell" effective even if Brylle and Terrence's group caused trouble once again later on.
It would make their preparation useless in front of a fake spell!
Philip couldn't help but think of Vale as a crafty old man like his tutor back in their residence.
'He was really calm and calculating everything that is happening. He was also able to monitor the whole 'battlefield' and was able to give instructions at the right time.'
Snap!
Vale snapped his fingers as if it was a signal to cancel his 'Dark Spell'…
Lotus immediately understood what she was about to do and simply returned to Vale's side before sneakily entering his shadow… She needed a long rest.
In the meantime, it only looks like Vale summoned a lump of energy and took it back after using it.
At this moment, the proud Brylle Genio who is a seventh-year student of the Raksmith Academy was already unconscious while his eyes are open. It appears as if he couldn't believe what was happening to him until he passed out.
Anyway, it was a pity that Lotus can't collect Mystical Items or Vale would have ordered her to take all his belongings after restraining him.
"Alright… Leave your Mystical Items and money if you want to leave this place…" Vale said in a relaxed tone.
Philip and Priscilla who were quite tired because of the battle decided to act tough as well and copied Vale.
They easily collected some money and mystical items because Terrence and the others were already afraid as they can't understand these freshmen at all. They have weird spells and mystical items.
They even defeated the senior they were proud of!
They were aware of Brylle's achievement so they were truly stunned after he was defeated. Brylle was in the top 98 in overall rankings within the Academy beating plenty of senior students in the process!
It means that he has gained plenty of contribution points that allowed him to carry a lot of Elemental Talismans or some better mystical artifacts to make him stronger...
However, despite having all of that achievement, the terrifying Dark Spell that Vale summoned had still taken him out in a matter of seconds!
Furthermore, they were fighting against freshmen students!
This made them think that the difference between Dark Arts Practitioners and Elemental Arts Practitioners is so huge!
After a while when Terrence and his group left the alley, he spoke in an annoyed tone as he tried to say something to make themselves feel better.
"W-we were just incompatible with the Dark Arts so we were defeated this time. Don't look so down! If we fight against the ones in Lakrine Academy or even in Dorelts Academy nearby, there was no way we would lose!"
