As soon as Vale entered the room and locked the door, he immediately started working.
The room was quite small and was only about 16 square meters. There was also nothing inside as this place isn't meant for people who wanted to relax…
This room is used for practicing various Dark Arts that weren't heavily inclined toward offensive abilities.
This place is used to practice summoning undead, spreading curses, performing rituals, and others…
What Vale came here today was, of course, to summon a friendly spirit hoping that he'll get in contact with Lotus once again… It's even better if Lotus got summoned once again.
Apparently, he learned from Headmaster Jean that Lotus may not have died… She may have just returned to the Spirit World without his knowledge.
Of course, this is just a guess. Headmaster Jean wasn't sure about this since Lotus isn't really in her best shape after losing contact with the Spirit World.
