"So Vale really has a detection spell… Was it from Heinz as well?" Headmaster Jean muttered as he calmly stood on top of the Left-Wing Building's roof.

He was watching the meeting of the three squirrels and one student in the East Pavilion Garden of the Academy.

According to Vale, the three squirrels were actually Transformation Arts Practitioners!

He would've failed to realize their real identity if not for Vale's reminder!

'What a fearsome detection ability… I wonder how it works.' Jean silently thought as he looked at what was going on below him.

He was also baffled by how Vale didn't know that they were in the form of squirrels.

Vale's detection didn't capture the appearance of the practitioners and only sensed them as Arcanists who practice the Transformation Arts.

It was something he couldn't even do unless he possessed a Mystical Artifact at the Royal Rank level.

Unfortunately, he had never considered that Vale might've used a different path's detection ability so he was unable to guess what Spell was used. He could only think that it was another ability that Heinz gifted to his disciple.

"Headmaster, the lower-year Professors are dealing with the First-Class Practitioners from the Secret Organization, should you not help them first?" Vale asked using his telepathy as soon as he got out of the main building.

He could still feel that the battle was going on and he didn't like the idea that those young students could die once the Professor failed to stop the invaders.

"Hmm? There were only three enemies… What are you afraid of? They can handle that." Headmaster Jean replied as he seemed to fully trust Professor Morton and the others.

"T-then… What should I do? You have to keep your promise, okay?" Vale asked while fully circulating his Extrasensory Perception Spell. He had to make sure that he won't be detected by those intruders.

"Yes… If you help me this time and bring glory to our Academy in the Twelve Academies Competition in your fourth year, I will give your Shadow back. Isn't that very generous of me?" Headmaster Jean said as he shifted his gaze to Vale.

He also tried sensing his presence using his Phantasm State and realized that Vale's stealth ability was quite impressive.

Perhaps, if he didn't know his general location and he doesn't have Vale's shadow with him, he would've failed to sense this young student.

'This young man is getting more and more fearsome… I hope Heinz could make plenty of him. Furthermore, If he could make them a bit more submissive, that would be a lot better.' Headmaster Jean thought as he felt that Vale's loyalty is a bit too lacking…

Nevertheless, he didn't think too much of it since Vale is just one of the first successful products of Heinz's research. He believes that over time, Heinz would be able to make better adjustments and have loyal subjects.

"You're right… You're very generous, Headmaster." Vale replied earnestly without having any idea about Headmaster Jean's thoughts.

He was too focused on how he could get his shadow six years early!

Concerning the Twelve Academy Competition, he wasn't worried about it at all. He already has the confidence to win a few competitions right now. So if he was given a couple more years of preparation, he believes that he could even deal with 10th-year students.

This wasn't some sort of delusion because his mastery over Planar Spells would've increased at that time and perhaps, he could even get a few more golden Spell Lights over the next two years.

"Very well… See those squirrels, lock into them as they might disappear from my sight. You have to tell me their location since I don't have any Spells to see through their Transformation Arts."

"Eh?" Vale was surprised.

'The Headmaster doesn't have any skill that could sense them?' Vale mused as he realized that the Headmaster wasn't that omnipotent after all.I think you should take a look at

"Vale, these three were Expert Shapeshifters. It's not easy to sense their presence. It's literally an Arcane Art they've mastered for three or more decades. You're just weird since your Detection Spell could make their decades of practice useless… Do you understand that?" Headmaster Jean suddenly said as if he could read his mind.

At this comparison, Vale's eyes lit up since that indeed makes sense!

These Practitioners spent most of their lifetime perfecting the spell in their Arcane Path. It was normal that they could fool even the Headmaster who lacks a proper Spell to counter them.

'Right… I'm lucky to have my Divine Sense.' Vale thought as he agreed with the Headmaster's plan.

In the meantime, while the two of them were tailing the spy and the three squirrels near the Armory, the battle in the main building had already involved the students!

"Tsk! One of them is a Holy Arts Practitioner! Not good!"

"It's just two Elementalists and one False Priest… They're not going to do anything—" As Professor Saullon thought of underestimating the enemies, he suddenly felt his feet turn cold.

As soon as he looked down at his feet, he realized that an ice had already formed!

'Shit! How come I didn't detect it at all?!'

His Phantasm State had been active all this time and he was sure that he was monitoring the surroundings properly.

Professor Shirley immediately acted as she helped the Professor who was caught in the stealthy attack.

She took out a pouch containing a cloud of glittering dust and sprayed it over the surroundings. Luckily, the three intruders didn't move in their position since even though they caught Professor Saullon, the others remained relatively fine from the attack.

They must be afraid of rushing over since Professor Morton had already summoned three Spectral Hands ready to crush them if they get near.

"It's the mist! Be careful!" Shirley reminded everyone as they poured out more Dark Energy around their bodies… She had also noticed this late but because she had a defensive Mystical Item, she was able to resist the Frostbite.

"P-professors! Kill them already!"

"Hurry!"

At this time, the students in their rooms started getting cold and they could only try to resist it by gathering together.

The first-year students were the most affected as the field-type Elemental Spells of the two intruders covered more than 20 meters around them!

Realizing that the students are suffering, the Professor had no other choice but to hasten their plans. They could no longer wait for Professor Stella's Curse Spells to take effect!

"Kill!"

Professor Morton sent out his Spectral Hands to allow the other Professors to cast their Tier 2 Dark Spells without being interrupted by the False Priest.

"Fool! You are all going to die here!" The False Priest shouted as he cast a powerful Holy Spell!

"Great Purification!"
