Vale woke up early the next day.
It was only four in the morning and the sky is still dark outside.
He thought of going to the nearby garden first to pass some of his time but as soon as stepped out of his room, he heard a familiar voice inside his head.
The voice was telling him to get visit him in the person's room, the Headmaster's Office.
Vale wasn't sure why the headmaster was trying to call for him this early but he didn't question him and just continued on his way.
In the hallway, he didn't meet any students and only saw a few custodians cleaning up the place. If he wasn't mistaken, some classes of the higher years would even end early in the morning so it wasn't that surprising that the custodians would mop the floor and clean the surroundings in shifting schedule.
The custodians would simply ignore him so he didn't bother them as well.
As soon as he arrived outside the Headmaster's Office, Vale was beckoned to come in.
"Vale, the door is unlocked, just get inside." Headmaster Jean spoke as Vale twisted the door knob and slightly opened the door.
For some reason, he felt nervous entering so he was taking his time. He couldn't tell what was wrong so he wanted to be careful.
As soon as he had glimpsed what was inside, Vale was speechless as he gaped at the beautiful sight
'Corpses Three female corpses and they're even naked. Why did the Headmaster call me here?' Vale was shocked as he can only make a guess.
Headmaster Jean probably took his Master's words seriously!
"H-headmaster, did I arrive at an inconvenient time? I can come later." Vale suggested as he tried to show that he has no idea why he brought three female corpses here.
"Don't worry, Vale It's only the two of us here. I heard from Heinz that you need to see some corpses every other week or you might have some withdrawal symptoms. This is your reward."
"Cough! Cough! Cough. I think you misunderstand him, Headmaster Jean. Withdrawal symptoms? I don't have that kind of thing. I I really don't know what withdrawal symptoms you're talking about, Headmaster." Vale shook his head as he explained himself.
However, Headmaster Jean didn't buy it at all.
"Heinz told me that every week that he can't show you any corpses, you would keep asking him about it and even monitor the dockyard for the delivery of corpses. He even mentioned how you were trying to talk to the Variants under his command to bring you corpses. Right, he also mentioned how you would check the corpses that are being sent to the town and the academy first since you're not satisfied with the corpses sent to the factory"
"T-this Headmaster, that may be true but it's not what you think at all." Vale answered with exasperation.
"Of course, of course It was my mistake. You don't have to get mad at me. Just take these corpses with you since they're my gifts after you've done a great job. This is also a form of encouragement so you can focus properly and prepare for your duel against Larkin Nevil. He will be a tough one but I'm sure you can deal with him. Heinz wouldn't let you go if you're still incapable of beating a mere Slender Zombie."
Headmaster Jean replied and he obviously doesn't believe anything of what he says regarding his "attraction" to the corpses.
Well, it's really difficult to explain unless he tells him about the system he has...
However, telling him about the extraction system wouldn't just make things complicated but it will also become very dangerous for him.
Someone might even try to forcefully take it away from him through a series of rituals and experiments in case it was leaked.
Vale can only sigh in the end since he also wanted to extract the corpses that is already in his hand's reach.
"Headmaster, I'll just take a look at them briefly and you can take them back after"
"No need, you can take your time and I'm planning to send them to your room later"
'So you can continue enjoying yourself.' This is probably what the Headmaster wanted to add.
As soon as Vale realized what he was trying to do, he instantly paled as he felt that if his roommates notice three naked female corpses in his room, his reputation would certainly go down the hill. He wouldn't even have the courage to face his fellow classmates as he would die in embarrassment
"No!I mean, Headmaster Jean You don't have to be that considerate. I'm already fine checking them out for a few seconds."
Headmaster Jean was silent for a moment before shaking his head.
"It's up to you I'll go outside for a moment You can take your time, I'll only come back in half an hour, or do you need more time?"
"Ugh" Vale was stumped as he saw the Headmaster leave the room.
Vale was thoroughly unable to follow the Headmaster's thoughts.
In the end, Vale can only quickly extract the corpses so he can leave the room as quickly as possible.
As soon as he touched the first female corpse, he waited for his system's notification
However, to his surprise, there was no reaction at all.
"That's weird" Vale muttered as he tried once more.
After confirming that it was really ineffective, he tried the other two corpses Unfortunately, he got the same result.
Vale frowned at the sudden unsuccessful attempt. This had never happened before. All the human corpses that he had tried to extract would always be recognized by the system.
'W-wait It can't be'
As he was holding the corpse's body, a sudden thought came to his mind as he worriedly tried to activate the other function of the system He was worried that his Divine Extraction System has completely disappeared!
He quickly checked his attribute panel and like what he feared, he can't access the system!
'No This can't be'
At this time, the door of the office suddenly opened.
He thought it was the Headmaster but to his surprise, he saw his classmates watching him They were Lisa, Leonore, Aubrey, Chad, and even Maya can be seen behind them!
They were looking at him in shock followed by an expression of disgust!
