Vale was a bit shocked after hearing the Headmaster's words.
In his mind, the Headmaster should be aware of the twin's secret since they were from the same family.
'Why would they even tell me about their secret if they didn't tell you anything?' Vale thought but he still slightly nodded to the Headmaster.
Anyway, what Philip and Priscilla said about their family seemed true. The twins weren't in the main branch of the Hoffman, and that they were only able to study here because of their own efforts…
They may have received recognition from Hoffman Family's Main Branch, but they were still in a complicated position in the clan.
In any case, Vale still asked the Headmaster about the things he knew about the situation with Philip before leaving his office.
Soon, Vale found himself headed to the clubroom.
He already used his Phantasm State and confirmed that Priscilla was indeed alone and seemed to be waiting for someone.
Knock. Knock.
Vale knocked on the door to inform the person inside that someone was about to enter.
"Priscilla, I didn't know you were here. Are you alone? Where are our seniors?" He asked.
Priscilla then looked at Vale with a faint smile and answered. "They were at the Assembly Hall. That place was unaffected by the previous incident, so the club recruitment still continued there."
?ℎ? ?ℎ? ? ? ?
Vale nodded at this. He had forgotten about the Club Recruitment for first-year students. It seemed quite interesting to recruit some first years, so he would probably visit the stall if he didn't have much to do.
"I see… Right, I heard about what happed to your brother. I just spoke to the Headmaster about it, and it was unfortunate that they have a way to prevent him from locating him through his Shadow. They've really made enough preparation." Vale sighed as he couldn't really do anything about it either, especially since they weren't even aware of his exact location.
"Yes… I heard that the curse used by the Vessels had also disappeared after reaching a forest. However, I'm still relieved that my brother's Shadow hasn't yet disappeared from Headmaster Jean's collection. It means that he's still alive and waiting to be saved." Priscilla weakly said.
She was probably worrying about this for several days, so it wasn't surprising that she wasn't in good condition.
"Indeed… I also heard that no one knows why he got captured. It was really baffling."
"I couldn't think of a reason as well. Perhaps, it wasn't even for ransom since the family didn't receive any information from them… Did the Headmaster ask you to find more information from me?"
Vale wryly smiled at this and nodded.
"Yes… He was just worried about you two, so he wanted more information."
"Hmph… He should be aware of it. He's just asking you to probe me if I told anyone about it." Priscilla said.
At these words, Vale suddenly felt a chill behind his back as he swiftly used his Phantasm State and Darkness Manipulation to isolate the area.I think you should take a look at
Since his Darkness Manipulation had already reached the Advanced Realm, the spell would sense anyone who tries to peek through them.
"Ahem… Although the room has Formation Circle to protect us from leaking information outside, I think it's much better to use this spell to hide our conversation from the others." Vale immediately said as he took a deep breath.
"Are you surprised?" Priscilla asked.
"Yes… I didn't know that you really have such a complicated relationship with the Hoffman family. Although it feels dangerous, I'm inclined to know what is going on."
Vale said with interest. He didn't expect the Headmaster to be aware of the reason Philip was captured but acted unaware in front of him and the Order of Evanescent Vessel.
Furthermore, Priscilla wasn't allowed to tell the reason… Perhaps, the Hoffman Family was watching her to ensure that she would reveal their secrets!
"Don't worry… I revealed it because I knew that no one was watching me anymore. Do you want to know what's our secret that I can't reveal to the Order?" Priscilla asked while looking at Vale.
At this point, Vale was really curious. He can choose to say no and stay out of trouble, but it would bother him in his sleep. Furthermore, he was already at the point that even First-Class Arcanists wouldn't scare him anymore.
'Right… I'm only scared of the Headmaster since he basically has my Shadow. I can name dozens of powerful curses he could use on me with that piece of Shadow. However, if he doesn't have that, I may not necessarily be in trouble if I faced him in battle.' Vale thought while looking at the pretty but weakened Priscilla in front of him.
She looked quite pitiful but also looked elegant and beautiful.
After a few considerations, Vale finally nodded.
"Yes, I want to know your secret. Perhaps, I can even help you. No, I'm not bragging. I might really help you with my current abilities. You should've heard the rumors that the Shapeshifters' abilities are useless to me… Those rumors are accurate. My detection ability is unmatched." Vale said with a confident look on his face.
For some reason, he wanted to look reliable in front of this girl. Now that he had gotten strong enough, he felt that doing some good deeds didn't sound that bad.
As expected, as soon as he said this, Priscilla couldn't help but smile.
"Your detection ability is unmatched? That's quite a big word for a second-year student." Priscilla chuckled as she felt it was too much even if Vale was a talented student. In any case, she decided to just accept it since it wasn't every day to hear Vale boasting about his skills.
Vale just smiled at this as he sat in front of her.
After some hesitations, Priscilla bit her lips as she decided to reveal their secret to her friend.
For some reason, she felt that Vale's luck was incredible, and perhaps, he could share his luck with them and save her brother in the process.
"Vale, do you remember the ranks of the Mystical Items?" She asked.
"Of course. From the weakest, it was the Regular, Mortal, Noble, Royal, and Sovereign Rank… Wait, don't tell me…" Vale's eyes lit up as Philip and Priscilla's secret might have something to do with the Sovereign Rank item! If that were the case, then they'd really be targeted by any organization!
