Equipped with his mother's token, Stratos finally had the opportunity to fill in the missing gaps in his knowledge, as well as discover other things that might aid him in his future endeavours.
The younger generation weren't given access to the library. This was to prevent them practicing with the wrong methods before their induction. However, he knew that the more favoured ones in the clan had access to not only there, but many other resources of that sort. With the guidance of an elder, they didn't have to worry about practicing the wrong things.
His fathers training had allowed him take the 1st Step onto the Mortal path, becoming a practitioner even without a proper cultivation method. He believed that alone could get him into the library, as long as he had his mum's token. Even after getting his own token at the ceremony, it wouldn't have the same clearance level as his mum's, so he was glad for this opportunity.
With these thoughts, he quietly made his way into the libary, not wanting to look for unecessary trouble.
Getting in, it was of course empty. Enough time had passed since the last inductee's gained acess, and they had already gathered all the information deemed necessary to start their cultivation. Aside from inductee's, the only other people normally found in a library were those Esoteric's, who dedicated themselves to the pursuit of knowledge.
The Deshars where a martial focused family, as well as being on the western frontier, so they didn't have many trained Esoterics in the clan's retinue. Whenever they needed pills, enchantments or those other things, they got it from the Wendell Association.
The Wendell's where the biggest association in the Kingdom of Rael. Although they where also a noble house, even having a bloodline, they always pursued the esoteric path instead of foccusing on the martial way. This led them to being the only Gold 1 association in the whole Rael Kingdom. With their power just below the Royal Family, they had suppressed all the other associations present, until they had opened an office in every major area in the country.
Deshar Deshar, founder of his house, maintained a good relationship with the young master of House Wendell. This was of course before being sent to the frontier. After successfully establishing his clan, he had been able to get an office set up in his lands. Because of this, the branch office here was the headquarters in the Western Frontier and the best in all 4 frontiers. That good relationship had always been maintained since, leading to House Deshar always getting good deals and a VIP treatment when dealing with the Wendells.

Even though the library was empty, it was still very well stocked, befitting the status of their house. They had recently splurged on getting the latest crystal interface. This was a necessary investment after some of their information was leaked. With this, the crystal genie recently finished uploading all the books present, preparing it for the new inductees.
Stratos had overheard discussions of these changes, but wasn't sure exactly what they meant. He was quite surprised to hear the prompt after coming in.
{Welcome, Stratos Deshar. Authorization not found, please return}
Initially shocked, he quickly got over it. 'It seems like this world has a higher technology level than I thought.'. Quickly presenting his mum's token to the genie, he explained his purpose for coming here.
{Clan token, Inzel Deshar, detected. Authorization granted. Clearance level dropped}
A bit disappointed that he couldnt acess all information at the tokens clearance level, he was still satisfied that he had gotten access. The added bonus of his previously undiscoverd crystal interface made him happier, as that just meant he would have to spend less time physically copying the book to the Chip's database. After trying various things, he finally figured out the proper method to use the interface, and immediately activated it.
[Data interface detected. Permit connection?]

Apologies for the short chapter, but something came up and I am unable to finish up. So I'll just upload what I have, and try to get both the second half and regular chapter done tommorow, but at this point, not so sure
