Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
Chapter 126 Mysterious Mirror
Vale and everyone else were confused.
They know that Mennena is the spirit of the mirror. However, they can't tell how would it differ if she's the one showing the mystical items and if it was the Professor.
"Professor Harrison, what's the difference?" Neil suddenly asked as he was also baffled.
"The difference? Mennena knows how you'll fail the assessment but I don't. Alright, who wants to volunteer first… You only have 15 seconds to identify each Mystical Item. Remember, I'm not asking you to tell me their usage or how they are made. I only need their names and that's enough."
Vale frowned at this since in the end, it's all about memorization. In any case, this is still an Arcane Academy so memorizing things should be quite normal.
"I'll go first…" Lisa raised her hands confidently.
This surprised their classmates except Vale, Aubrey, and Chad who knows how diligent Lisa was. Since she's the only one in their class that doesn't belong to any family with a background in mysticism, she has to double her efforts and would always stay in the library even if she no longer has a duty to be stationed there by her club.
"Alright, Lisa Grayback. Come forward and touch the mirror so we can begin. You're the only one capable of seeing what has appeared and you can write your answer on the mirror itself using your finger. Then, Mennena would let me know if your answer is right or wrong."
"I understand, Professor..." Lisa answered as she stepped forward.
She heard her classmate's encouraging words as she nodded in acknowledgment.
Vale felt that this exam would be quite boring for those who are waiting but they realized that the Mirror will actually shine bright if the answer is correct and turn dark if the answer is incorrect.
Lisa only managed to get seven correct answers as she returned to her seat with a pale face. She failed the exam!
"Don't worry… This is just the first assessment. It wouldn't matter as long as you pass the last few assessments we have in our class." Chad reminded her as he tried to cheer her up.
However, to their surprise, the next students didn't even get seven points!
Even Chad, who tried to comfort her only got 4 correct answers!
Lisa was actually impressive for having seven points!
Almost half of the class has already completed the exam but Lisa remained to be the highest scorer.
"Isn't this a bit too difficult?"
"We're just unlucky since it's completely random…"
"No… It was definitely Mennena causing us trouble. That Spirit probably knows the extent of our knowledge."
"What? Do you think it's possible?"
"Of course… Mennena is a special Spirit residing inside the mirror. It can do more than just show images of Mystical Items."
"Whatever… In the end, if we memorize all those Mystical Artifacts we won't be this troubled."
The ones who had completed the test couldn't help but complain about the difficulty of the exam. They didn't expect to be unable to get a passing score in such a simple subject.
Vale listened to them as he was already not expecting a passing grade. He would probably be happy to get seven points similar to Lisa's score.
Leonore was soon called out and scored 7 points followed by Aubrey who scored the same points.
It appears that this is the limit of this assessment.
Soon, it was Vale's turn.
He copied his classmates' actions and touched the mirror to begin the exam…
As soon as he did this, he saw the first image shown by Mennena. It was a bag that is emitting a faint yellow glow.
'An easy one at first, huh…'
Baleful Knapsack.
Vale wrote his answer in the mirror. Then, the mirror made a reaction by brightly glowing in a matter of 2 or 3 seconds.
Then, the assessment continued as Vale identified the mystical items.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Spirit Pearl Necklace. Dark Knight's Torch. Flimsy Glaive. Dreamwhisperer, Trinket of the Night. Tranquility Goblet.
Vale had seven correct answers so he already felt satisfied.
Nevertheless, Vale didn't relax as he remained focused…
The eighth mystical item that the mirror showed was a cane. If Vale wasn't mistaken, it was the cane used by the Headmaster!
Vale had no idea what it was so he can't answer this question.
'Did she even teach us about this item? I'm pretty sure this is the first time she had shown us this cane.' Vale frowned at the sudden realization.
No wonder Lisa and Aubrey failed to get a point from the 8th item onward!
As Professor Harrison reminded him of the time, Vale can only write what's in his mind.
Headmaster's Cane.
As expected, the mirror did not shine anymore as it turned dark.
"Whew… So Vale can also make a mistake…"
"Indeed. I thought he was about to be famous again."
"There's still the ninth and tenth question."
"Let's watch for now…"
Neil and his friends were obviously relieved after seeing Vale fail.
Vale might be stronger than them in terms of Spirit Strands and Dark Spell Mastery, but they are still confident with their studying habits so they should have a better score than him.
The ninth item was another familiar object… It was the furnace in the factory and he knows this very well.
However, this wasn't taught in class so Vale felt reluctant to answer.
'This is definitely the Quince Furnace… However, it's not appropriate to guess this correctly.'
In the end, Vale wrote an incorrect answer.
Arcane Furnace.
Then, the tenth item showed up.
Once more, Vale was greatly shocked…
"Professor, can you see the item that Mirror is showing to me?" Vale asked curiously.
Instead of using his time to think of an answer, he actually asked the Professor instead.
"Hmm? I can't… However, Mennena knows the coverage of our assessment, she shouldn't show you something impossible to be answered."
"I see… I understand, Professor." Vale answered with a gentle nod as he decided not to answer the tenth item.
This baffled the class since the others would at least try and guess the answer.
As Vale returned to his seat, he couldn't help but feel puzzled by the mysterious mirror artifact.
The tenth item that was shown to him was actually the book called The Forbidden Practice of the Unlighted!
