Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 864: Rewarded



After being together with Vale for a long time, she already had a rough idea about his absorption ability. It appears that he was once again the target of the Time Manipulators.

'However... That Demon Lord is really a problem. He even sent these Time Manipulators here.' Lisa sighed as she knew that Vale didn't really want a chaotic life.

She knew that Vale simply had to get stronger since there were so many problems popping up. He really had no other choice.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, if all of these problems were sorted out, she knew that he'd really just focus on rebuilding the Academy.

"I hope that it will happen soon..." Lisa thought, as she hoped that Vale's problem would be resolved soon.

In a secretive land that only a few people know, a group of people managed to enter it through a great teleportation circle.

It was Miya's group who had just completed a mission and returned to the true Holy City of one of the most powerful churches on the continent.

Soon, Miya strode through the grand halls of the Church of the Lord of the Secrets, her heart still racing from the recent mission.

The eradication of the evil creatures and other tasks had been a success, and she felt a surge of pride as she approached the main chamber to report.

The Pontiff, a mysterious figure who always hid their face, awaited her.

The only feature she knew about this figure was his glowing eyes.

His deep blue eyes met hers as she entered.

"Miya, welcome back. I trust the mission was successful?"

Miya bowed respectfully.

"Yes, Pontiff. The creatures have been eradicated, and all the other tasks were done as well. All of our mission was success."

The Pontiff nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Excellent work, Miya. Your dedication and skill have not gone unnoticed." He reached into his robes and produced a small vial filled with a shimmering liquid.

"As a reward for your service, you are now permitted to practice a fourth Arcane Art. Once you consume this potion, the path will be open to you."

Miya's eyes widened in surprise and gratitude. "Thank you, Pontiff. This is a great honor."

The Pontiff handed her the vial. "You currently practice Dark Arts, Mystic Arts, and Knight Arts. I suggest you consider either Alchemy Arts or Elemental Arts for your fourth discipline."

Miya pondered the options for a moment. Both paths held immense potential, but the allure of Alchemy Arts called to her.

After all, she had previously tried to learn Dark Alchemy with Master Sherah in the Academy. However, she didn't really have a talent for it.

However, if she had tried true Alchemy Art itself, which requires a certain ritual, she might have had a chance.

The ability to transmute and create, to blend science with magic, fascinated her in the end. "I choose Alchemy Arts," Miya declared, her voice steady.

The Pontiff nodded approvingly. "A wise choice. Alchemy will complement your existing skills well. You can drink the potion here."

"Yes..."

With a deep breath, Miya uncorked the vial and drank the potion.

The liquid was cool and smooth, and as it flowed down her throat, she felt a surge of energy. Her senses heightened, and her mind expanded, absorbing a certain knowledge that seemed to allow her to accommodate a new Arcane Art!

'Amazing... I really made the right decision.' Miya thought as she felt that she could really survive the Alchemy's trial.

Well, while there was a Dark Possession Potion that needed to be consumed to practice Dark Arts, Mystic Law's Trial for the Mystic Arts, and Knight's Oath for the Knights Arts, the Alchemy Arts has Fire Infusion.

It was a trial that Alchemists needed to pass in order to obtain a Fire that could be used in alchemy. It was the most important for Alchemists.

Of course, this fire could still evolve the stronger you get.

After taking a deep breath and feeling that she indeed was in good condition, she immediately turned to the Pontiff.

"May I ask where I can start the Fire Infusion?" She asked with confidence.

"Hohoho... You looked confident. That's great. I'll have someone guide you later. You just need to take some rest as you've just arrived. After two hours, the Fire Infusion will be

ready..."

"Thank you, Pontiff," Miya said, her voice filled with gratitude. "I will not disappoint you." The Pontiff smiled.

"I have no doubt, Miya. Once you learned Alchemy, just continue to serve the Church with honor and dedication."

Miya bowed once more and left the chamber.

After a well-deserved rest, Miya was awakened by a gentle knock on her door.

An acolyte stood there, and his expression was solemn.

"High Priest Miya, the Fire Infusion Trial is ready. The Pontiff has instructed me to escort you to the Ritual Hall."

Miya nodded, her heart pounding with anticipation. After washing and changing her clothes, she felt ready. She glanced at the books on her study table and followed the acolyte.

She had read more about the Fire Infusion Trial as she wanted to refresh her mind about the Alchemy Arts. It has been a while since she studied it, after all.

What was genuinely kept in her mind was the fact that the weakest fire was orange, followed by red, yellow, and blue, and the strongest known was the green fire.

"I really hope I can get a Yellow Fire..." Miya muttered as she knew that obtaining Yellow Fire would guarantee that she would be able to create Tier 1 Pills as long as she had enough

practice...

Anyway, obtaining a Soul Fire would mark the true beginning of her path as an Alchemist, and she was excited about it. And if she failed, she would have to reconsider her choice and perhaps turn to the Elemental Arts instead.

Well, she still had to condition her mind that failing wasn't the end of the world for her. Even if she failed, it should not break her spirit as an Arcanist!
