A thirty-something man with large green eyes and curly hair fully covered his face; He was wearing a blue clothing with librarian badge pinned to his chest, his name is librarian Jen. There's something peculiar about him, you can see it in his eyes, perhaps it's a feeling of regret or perhaps it's simply his hatred.
He is one of the Golden Academy Library's Student section librarian. Just by a simple look, anyone can deduce that this man has an unforgettable past. Every day he will come to his seat and write something, what is he writing?, No one knows.
Ji Yun approached the nearby librarian who was busily writing, he is Librarian Jen, "Excuse me, Mr. Librarian. Can I ask you some questions?".
Librarian Jen without even lifting his head responded by an 'Mn' sound. Ji Yun didn't bother his behavior everyone will have a different personality.
"Mr. Librarian, I have read some books regarding medicines and beasts but the contents differ from one book to other. Do you perhaps know any decent books with correct contents?". Ji Yun asked.
Oh, only now librarian Jen lifted his head and looked at Ji Yun, he also didn't mind his gaze. "Are you new to the library? Most of the common book's information will be incorrect, you have to read high graded books for correct information." Librarian Jen slowly spoke.
"Yes Mr. Librarian, Today is my first day in the library, so please explain to me about the books in the library and recommend me, about what should I do?". Ji Yun asked.
"Here, once you fully read this book you will understand about the various books and its grades; its written by Academy dean himself and it's genuine. After you read the book return it at once". Jen gave the book and began to write. Ji Yun accepted the book with a dazed look and gone to his study room to read the book that is written by dean itself.
After 15 mins Ji Yun finished reading the full book, now he got a full understanding of the problem in the books. In Sky continent, books, skills, and techniques are graded as Common, Moon, Sun, Rare Grade..... there are grades above Rare grade books but in sky continent, Rare grade books are considered as treasures and no one knows about techniques or books above Rare grades.
Common Grade is mostly normal or you can say it as mediocre, 60% of the contents in the books either be false or flawed to some extent.
Moon Grade books – 50% of the contents can be false.
Sun Grade books – 40% of the contents can be flawed.
Rare Grade books, skills or techniques are considered excellent books while it can only be developed by Middle or peak stage sage realm practitioner with good comprehension in their fields – 25% can be false, while the other grade books are not known in sky continent.
'If I want to increase my knowledge in any field, I have to read high graded books or I can read many low graded books and combine the best results. In student section there are only 100 books in Moon grade, if I want any books in Sun grade, I have to get permission to enter the master section of the library'. Ji Yun thought himself.
If everyone thought 100 moon grade books are plenty then you are wrong, 100 moon grade books are not in the same category it covers a different category of the books like techniques, skills, path books, and other books.
Moon grade books are in the Inner section of the library, 'no wonder Yu Mengxi straight away went to the inner section of the library. Even though she knows about everything, she hasn't told me anything', Ji Yun thought to himself. Ji Yun thanked and returned the book to librarian Jen and went to the inner section of the library.
Ji Yun traveled towards inner section, on his way he saw many bookshelves but they are all common grade when he reached the inner section he can see some bookshelves mentioned as peak common grade books and Moon grade books. He can also see 20 plus students in here, searching for the books but what caught his eyes is a beautiful girl, Yu Mengxi, sitting in one of the study room reading the books.
Since Yu Mengxi was reading, Ji Yun didn't disturb her and quietly searched for a medicine and chakra beast related books. He only found 3 books regarding the topics he wanted and went to one of the reading rooms.
Ji Yun finished reading the three books within one hour because of similar contents he read previously, now he got a basic understanding regarding the medicines and chakra beast. Ji Yun wasn't discouraged in the least regarding the lowest grade of books, Knowing little is way better than knowing nothing. Then he went and placed the books in their respective places, when he thought of picking the next set of books Ji Yun's stomach grumbled a little, like saying it was hungry.
I have been in the library for 5hrs, its time to leave the library and eat something. When Ji Yun looked around the library, he couldn't find Yu Mengxi so he exited the library and walked towards the nearby food court.
If you want to eat inside the academy, you can either go to the food court or you can cook for yourself. Even the prices in the Academy food are less expensive and healthy when compared to outside, they are cooked by the top rated chefs.
There are 12 food courts inside the academy, they are located near various halls or important locations. Ji Yun memorized the academy's map from the booklet, so he walked to the nearby food court. Every food court in the academy is big, spacious and will be able to accommodate 10,000 students, there are even private rooms but its only for Elders and some important students. Ji Yun who entered the food court is amazed by its size and construction design, the food court in this world is way better than earth and even the designs and constructions are top notches.
The Food court is 2 story building with 5 stores, providing various chakra beast meats, juices, vegetables, fruits, and various other foods, but the only restriction is if you are a Red class student you can only order chakra beast meat within Mortal realm stage 3. When Ji Yun planned to buy some beast meat, he saw Yu Mengxi sat around the corner slowly and gracefully enjoying her food.
Ji Yun went to one of the stores and brought some foods for 10 gold coins, then he walked in the direction of Yu Mengxi and sat opposite to her. When she saw Ji Yun came and sat without her permission, she only frowned and continued her eating.
"Sister Mengxi, you are here. I was searching you every place in the library, sigh you intentionally didn't explain to me about the various grade of books and important points to consider in the library". Ji Yun said in a heartbreaking tone.
"Younger brother Ji Yun, I can't inform you everything I know. You can only improve yourself if you have some setbacks and discover everything by your own hard work, I did this so that you can become independent, without needing others help". Yu Mengxi coolly replied without much thinking, then only she become aware of the words she spoke. It's like she was very much concerned about Ji Yun and did everything for him with careful thought.
Yu Mengxi's face becomes little red with shame due to her previous words and Ji Yun also stunned by her words. Her cold and indifferent look was now gone, 'How come I can't maintain my cold personality in front of him; is it due to him saving my life or is it due to something else', Yu Mengxi become speechless by her own line of thoughts and thrown her thoughts at the back of her mind and continued eating without looking at Ji Yun.
But the chatting of both Ji Yun and Yu Mengxi looked completely different to everyone present inside the food court since Yu Mengxi is one of the top beauties of Sky continent naturally many people notice her presence if she goes somewhere, but today a young man sat opposite to the beauty and chatting with her. Everyone present can even see the hint of red in her face, but no one knows its not a blush.
Since its a holiday month, there are only 30 some people in whole the food court. Even if its only 30 students everyone knows about the Young master of the Shi family, Shi Zhen and his love towards Yu Mengxi; Since then no students will approach Yu Mengxi, only young master Zhen pester around her. But today a young man came and sat with Yu Mengxi even chatting with her.
If the news reached Young master Shi Zhen's ear, everyone can imagine the fate of the young man sitting with her. Everyone in the food court began to chat with their friends about the fate of the young man.
'Is he an idiot, did he not know Goddess Yu Mengxi was someone young master Shi Zhen like; I am sure he was going to be killed'. Someone whispered to the person next to him
'Its none of our business or else we will get caught up in the mess'. Another person told.
Naturally, everyone's whisper has been heard by Ji Yun, he was completely puzzled by their speaking. 'are they talking about me? who the f**k is that Shi Zhen. Whatever I don't care if no one comes and disturbs me, but it seems like that person is harassing Sister Mengxi'.
"Who is that Shi Zhen that everyone is talking about?; did he bother you, Senior Sister Mengxi". When Ji Yu asked this question, Yu Mengxi furrowed her brows a little and didn't say anything for some time.
"Junior brother Ji Yun, you better don't mess with Shi Zhen; he is the young master of Shi family, domineering, arrogant and overbearing because he was considered prodigy in his family due to his high-grade affinity and genius level comprehension in his elemental technique.
Even though his personality is bad, he was extremely loved by his Elder brother and the current family head of the Shi family". Yu Mengxi downheartedly explained to Ji Yun. 'It seems like that Shi bastard done many inconvenient and disrespectful things to the Sister Mengxi'.
"Can't Master Nyra do something about this", Ji Yun asked.
"No, Its a fight between younger generation; Master can't do anything about this if she tried to interfere then elders from the Shi family will attack. Practitioners above the mortal realm stage 4 are not allowed to attack someone below their stage, this is the rule set by the first family that is Shen family, ruler of the Sky continent". Yu Mengxi explained.
Ji Yun now fully understood about the First family's rule, 'so if I thrashed that Shi bastard no elders from their family can interfere openly. Now I am looking forward to meeting that Shi Zhen'.
"So, what is the cultivation realm and strength of the Shi Zhen"
"Sigh, he is in the middle stage of the Mortal realm rank 4. But his strength is the real deal, he can fight and win most of the chakra users under the mortal stage 4, I also heard his strength is close to 25,000kg due to his high understanding in his elemental technique".Yu Mengxi explained, but one can see concerned look in her eyes. Now only she realized, she forgot about the surrounding and her problems with Shi Zhen.
"Sister Mengxi, we can worry about the future later. Now let's go to the Elder Nyra's house, I am feeling sleepy reading many books. Sister Mengxi, you told me you practice one of the supreme path, Path of Array; Can you teach me about the Array path?", Ji Yun asked with a smile in his face like he didn't place Shi Zhen in his eyes and didn't want to waste his time on him.
