Chapter 48: Library

Later that day, following his rigorous training session, Atticus consulted his device to guide him towards the library. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

With the 1st years granted a week to make their specialization choices, Atticus had given the matter careful consideration and ultimately settled on the beast division.

He felt that fighting magical beast would provide him with valuable fighting experience and contribute to his overall strength.

He had attempted to access information on beasts through his device, but it directed him to the library.

Atticus was looking for information about the various breeds of magical beasts inhabiting the area. Although he had read books detailing magical creatures during his lessons at home, he remained cautious and sought to ensure he was well-informed about any potential unfamiliar creatures in the region.

The library was a vast repository of knowledge encompassing history, magical creature breeds, and more in Eldoralth.

Atticus entered the library and was surprised to see it devoid of people. He noticed a woman with white hair sitting behind a counter, engrossed in a book.

'It's still weird to see people with white hair everywhere. It's like we're in a cult or something,' he mused to himself.

Approaching her, he greeted her with a neutral tone, "Good morning. I'm here to look for a book about beasts in this area."

The woman didn't look away from the book and replied, "Section D, second floor." Atticus nodded his thanks and went towards the elevator he had noticed when he came in.

He entered it, and as prompted, he scanned his device. The light turned green, and the elevator began moving to the second floor.

He was greeted by a vast expanse of bookshelves stretching out in every direction. The hushed atmosphere was palpable, with soft murmurs of turning pages and the occasional sound of a chair sliding against the polished floor.

People sat scattered throughout the area, engrossed in their reading, their focus unbroken even as Atticus entered.

There were more people on the second floor compared to the deserted first. He kept moving and eventually, he noticed a signed at the top of a section that says 'D'. Then he entered and started looking for books about beast in the area.

Atticus found a book titled 'Local Fauna' and began reading. Inside the book, he discovered numerous beasts commonly found in the area.

Some were familiar from his previous studies, but there were also new creatures he hadn't encountered before. The book provided details about their habitats, weaknesses, and descriptions.

With his sharp intellect, Atticus absorbed this information rapidly, only needing a glance to store it in his memory. After about 3 minutes, he finished reading the book and selected another one.

After an hour later and multiple books read, Atticus felt satisfied with the knowledge he had gained and decided to leave the library.

As Atticus made his way out, he couldn't help but notice the lingering gazes, especially from the second-year students. With his perception, it was easy to see the numbers displayed on their device. 'Are they angry i beat up one of their own?' he wondered.

Brushing off the attention, he continued on, ignoring the curious onlookers. Once outside, he realized it was already growing late.

Feeling the pangs of hunger, Atticus decided to grab a meal and retreat to his room to make up for the disrupted mealtime earlier. He headed towards the cafeteria.

As Atticus stepped into the cafeteria, an eerie atmosphere settled around him – darkness and an unusual silence filling the space.

His perception sharpened, already detecting the people laying in ambush. The door behind him swung shut, sealing his exit.

A group of boys suddenly surrounded him. Atticus noticed that the first numbers displayed on the devices of all the boys were 1, indicating that they were first-year students.

Despite the unsettling scenario, Atticus remained composed, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to the tense environment that enveloped him.

A sudden voice cut through the silence, its chilling tone echoing in the space, "Do you really think I would let you go after what you did?"
