The Captured

Vale had no idea that the girl who wanted to take his shadow was now meeting with his trashy classmate, Neil Sommerhalder.

However, even if he knew, he would just find it amusing. He believes these two wouldn't be in any form of threat to him now or even in the next few years.

Their growth couldn't be compared to his speed of development since he has the Extraction System. Even if they have better and more affluent families behind them, he at least has the Headmaster on his side, and there shouldn't be any real threat to him inside the Academy.

On the next day, Vale completed his preparations as he silently went to the dockyard to meet Vice Captain Ashe, who had arranged his flight.

Aside from Headmaster Jean, Professor Shirley, Nadine Sherris, Chad Bulmung, and Vice Captain Ashe, no one else knows that he decided to leave the Academy.
