《New World - New Beginning》Chapter 27: Entering the Library
Advertisement
Now that I know that I can enter the library without needing a card or permission, I can go quietly to eat. I could bring something to eat here and not waste time walking to the restaurants.
On second thought, I better not, food is one of life's pleasures, and the food they serve in the restaurants is delicious. I don't want to take that luxury away.
As I go down the stairs to leave the Academy and go to eat at the restaurant, I meet some students who are on their way out. I listen to their conversations. Now they talk about the new instructor and that he is not as strong as the other teacher, and they also talk about me again, but now they say that I am a director guest.
The rumors do get crazier as time goes by. I think the best thing to do is to try not to stand out as much as possible because if I do something that attracts the attention of these students, it will be challenging to continue working in peace, or worse, they will interrupt my library study.
After 5 minutes, I reach the main door, so I take a detour to the left as I follow the edge of the bushes.
I finally find a wooden door connected to the guards' building, so I knock on the door to enter.
Wait a minute!
On the other side, a voice sounds, and a guard in lead-colored armor opens the door for me.
You are the new janitor. That's right. We have been notified of your situation. Please come in.
I enter the room, and it looks like a police officer. Inside, two other guards are sitting and eating.
Okay, I need you to sign this.
The guard pulls out a stack of papers from under his desk.
What's that? All employees must fill out these documents to gain access to the Academy to grant entry clearance. Do I have to fill all this out? Yes, you do. ... Oh, how awful! At least you're not the one who has to file them...
...
It's finally over!
After 10 minutes of signing and reading documents, I finally got rid of those filthy papers; it's because of these things that I hate bureaucracy.
But well, the important thing is that it's over and we can go to eat. I hope today's meal is meat. I have a strange desire to eat it.
When I arrived at the restaurant the place was full, but to my good fortune there was a table with an unoccupied chair and as there was no other way I went to sit there.
I hope you don't mind me sitting here. There are no more seats available. Oh, not at all. It's a pleasure to have you here, Mr. Janitor. Eh?

I turned my head to the right, and I saw that who was sitting next to me was Indis with her friends. I didn't recognize her because she turned her back.
Girl 4: Well, if it isn't Mr. Janitor, are you coming here to eat too? Girl 1: I thought you were eating in the cafeteria on the second floor? Indis: So Mr. Janitor, may I know why you ran to the secretary's office? ...
Damn, I just said I don't want to draw attention to myself, and this happens. Okay, you know what, fuck this shit, I won't worry about these things anymore. I just wanted to be professional in my job without getting involved in other matters, but I won't be able to do that.
Since things will be like this, I will get rid of this responsible worker attitude.
Regarding your question Indis, I went to the office because I wanted to confirm some things. Indis: Oh? And what happened? They told me there was no problem
At that, the waiter arrives to ask for our order.
Good morning, what would you like? I would like a minestrone with a portion of roast beef and a fruit salad, please. The girls: The specialty of the house. -Understood, I will bring you your order.
After that, the waiter leaves, and the girls turn their gaze.
And now what Girl 2: Sir, what happened when we left you and Sister Indis alone?
As soon as she said that, the girls' eyes shone as brightly as watching a soap opera. Do you think something happened between Indis and me?
I'm sorry to break your illusions; nothing happened. I just wanted to know how her sonic pulse ability didn't affect me. Girl 3: Sister Indis asked you for help? Is there something wrong with that? Girl 5: Don't you know, sir? Sister Indis hardly ever asks for help because there aren't many people who can help her. And her teachers are painted or what? Don't they ask for help? Girl 2: It's just that Indis' questions are not easy to answer. Mmm, you are right. The sound issue is not something easy to answer unless you have some knowledge about it.
The waiter comes with our food, so I take Kawaii out of the bag, and she starts eating.
Girl 1: How cute! What is he? What's his name? His name is Kawaii, and she is a flower hedgehog. Girl 4: Flower hedgehog? I read that they were costly. How much did they cost you? Nothing of is. I found it while I was hunting in the forest. Indis: ... can I pet it? I don't know. Ask Kawaii. Indis: Um, Kawaii, can I pet you? Kiiii! ( ˘ ³˘)ノ
With Kawaii's permission, Indis begins to stroke his head while Kawaii continues to eat his grapes.

...
Once lunch is over, I leave the restaurant with this group of girls, and another conversation arises.
Indis: Mr. Marco, we will go to the west side to buy some items. Do you want to come? No, I want to go to the library and read the books there. Indis: Would you instead go to the library than spend time with us? Yes. Girls: ... What do you expect? If I go with you, I'll get in trouble, plus I want to learn about some things. Indis: ... Are you sure? Yes. With that said, I leave.
I go away from them to go to the institute. There are many books I want to read in the library. I want to know about professions, skills, monsters, attributes, evolution, objects, and even the history of this world.
I still find this world strange, and since there is no internet, I can't research anything about what is its history, so I have to find out through books, it may be a tedious thing, but it is something worth knowing. I still remember the words of my society and culture teacher. He always said that those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.
You know what he says "Knowledge is power."
...
After walking for 40 minutes, I am finally outside my extended dream library. I only see five students and the librarian here, I thought there would be more people, considering the value of these books outside, but it seems the students are ignorant of their treasure.
In any case, it's better for me, as I can read without fighting with some student in question.
I approach the librarian to get information on the books there.
Good afternoon, in which section is the books of professions, skills, or monsters. Good afternoon, the books on professions and skills are in the 1A, but the students and teachers took all the books on attack skills. Only the Defense - Buff - Debuff and Special types are left. As for the readers of monsters, they are in section 2B. Special? What is that? They are skills used differently, for example, the necromancers, who have the special ability to summon undead. Thanks for the tip.
So there is another category of skills. It is possible that depending on your race. You will have a different category of skills. The human race will be a special category, while the monster race will be the control category, so what will be the category for the other races?
I will find out later; for now, let's focus first on the professions and then on the skills.
I go to section 1A and see that the bookshelf has a gap of two rows, implying that they took all the attack skill books with them while the others were still in place.
I grab a front-row book called "Professions Vol.1-10", count the books in the first row, calculate a total of ten, open the book to see the index, and it tells me that there is a total of 40 professions.
I look at the first profession, which is the archer. The book illustrates an archer, his primary weapon, his advantages, disadvantages, method of obtaining this profession, the branches in which his profession is divided, and the basic skills you get when you get it.
*sigh* this will take time...
...
After 5 hours, I finished reading all the books on the existing professions. There were many exciting professions. Still, the last book on rare professions showed me that there are ridiculously powerful professions, but their methods of obtaining them are too complex or challenging.
For example, the mechanical profession allows you to create weapons or battle suits that you can use however you want. To obtain it requires you to know metallurgy, blacksmithing, physics, and technology, not to mention that you also need a lot of metal and various tools, but if you can solve this, you would be considered a warlord.
There is also another profession called Solar/Moon Warrior. Depending on the day, you get different effects on your active and passive skills, but obtaining this profession is very complicated. First, you have to complete the Sun and Moon trials carved into the walls of a dungeon. You must spend ten whole days on a mountain top without eating, drinking, or moving while absorbing the rays of the sun and moon. Once you complete this, you get this profession.
The bad thing about this book is that they don't tell you what skills you get when you get into this profession. At the time of compiling this data, they didn't want to reveal their skills.
I wanted to stop by to read the skill books, but the Academy closes at 18:00, so I had no choice but to go home, but not before passing by the guards' house to ask what time they wake up.
I left the building and went straight to the central square to eat. This time, we tried the Japanese food, it was very soft, but its taste was fresh. Kawaii was given some square-shaped apples that, being honest, I wanted to try, but Kawaii doesn't like to share, so I didn't try them.
Once we finished eating, we went back to our apartment. Today was a productive day, so let's do the same tomorrow.

A fine octet of legs
