Next morning, SECOND already completed with the calculation for Nulara's equation.
"This looks like a spell for Herculean Strength. Rank 3 apprentice can start learning rank 0 spells and some talented rank 2 apprentices already start a study about the spell. This spell suit Nulara well. "
With only the summary, SECOND managed to figure out the spell but the core component is missing so the spell is incomplete.
"This should be the safety measure from the academy. I need more information to deduce the spell"
After breakfast, he directly goes to meet Nulara.
"Here the calculation" Max handing over a stack of papers to Nulara.
"You really did it! Wait here!" Nulara ran back to her room.
'She not paying? This is not the case of eating and run right? She shouldn't be if she, not an idiot.
All missions transaction are monitored by the tower. If one side failed to comply, the penalty will be given. Max continue to wait in front of Nulara's room. Fifteen many later, she came out.
"You really did it! Amazing! I already checked most of it and it seems correct."
Nulara handing over a pouch to Max. "Here is your mission reward. You really did great!"
Max took and keep the pouch after checking the content. There are five magic crystals inside!
"Thank you for your praise Senior Nulara. If you need more assistance, please don't hesitate to look for me." Max promoted himself.
"Good boy! Don't worry! I will recommend you to my friends!"
'Great' Max smiled.
After his transaction with Nulara, Max went to mission hall again. This time he applies for the other mission he set eyes on. Before he goes to the Great Library, he attends the free four hours lecture first. After the lecture, Max swiftly proceeds to his destination.
The Great Library is located between 1001st floor until 3000th floor. It really honors its name as a great library. The library is so huge over thousands level and billion of records kept inside.
Max destination is the Record office and 1555th floor. The person in charge of the mission, Elder Milos is here.
Elder Milos brought Max to another large room filled with papers and books on the ground. There already sixteen other peoples during the same task on their desk.
"Your job is to copy this book. Every book you copy correctly, you will be rewarded with one magic crystal. If I found you copy wrong, you will be charged one magic crystal per book. Understand?"
"Yes, Elder Milos" Max answered confidently.
"Good. All the tools are inside the room. Take it yourself. Just copy what others did." Elder Milos said and then he left the room.
Max looked around and saw no one talking. Everyone focused on his or her task worried to do any error. He sat on his desk and there already a quill pen, a bottle of ink, stack papers and the book he supposes to copy.
"So ancient. Magic so advance and they do not invent the typing machine." With Max's intellect, he can build a typing machine from scratch but he opted not. He already stood out with grade S talent, if he made a revolutionize invention, his brain will be dissected. The mage will be wondering what his brain made to be this capable.
After that Max looks at the book he needs to copy. 'Anatomy of Griffin's? As expected there is a magical beast like this in this world. The information is useless to me right now but record! '
[Affirmative!]
Max already master how to read and write magic language before so doing this work is easy for him. Just need physical effort. SECOND at the moment scanning all the books in the room.
Max managed to finish his task in two hours and collect his reward. He didn't need to check his work correct or not because of SECOND already on it all the time.
After handing over the world finished work to Elder Milos, Max finally go to the great library but he cannot enter it. To enter the great library one need to pay a fee. 5 magic crystal for apprentice and 100 magic crystal for a mage. And it only valid for 24 hours! If you want to extend the time, you need to pay the same fee again. No discount. Mage need pay the larger fee because they can access a higher level of books and records compared to apprentice.
With Max's total wealth of seven magic crystals, he returned back to his room downhearted.
"Someday! Wait for me to collect more magic crystals! "
