Jane slowly flipped another page as she tried using a short scroll to decipher the book, on which were boldly inscribed symbols that represent decoded information of unlocking a level five power spell which entails turning the energy surge into a complex force that enables a fourth-level master be able create a strong spell that could pull down two buildings at once in a single strike using an ancient but technical technique which dated back to the founding leaders of the city and was known to only few older council members. The book contained alot of combo moves for combat that can be used by different leve l masters and which was quite heavy for her to lift out from the fifth bookshelf on the fourth large column filled with spell books for her to had a red rough cover which was held together by four large rings and its brown pages had almost worn out due to the good number decades it had remained untouched inside the shelf amongst other old books which were prevalent in the library since few new spell book were collectively added top masters of each sects, to the catalogue of knowledgeable spell books before the outbreak of plague as well as expanding the size of the library into a large one that contains ten columns of books neatly arranged in catalogues of five hundred books per column which stretches up wards caressing the upper roof.
Although they all contain books, the spell books was specially divided into three sections which consistent two out of ten columns that housed spell books set aside for research on healing and herbal remedies while the third column to the sixth column were filled with varieties of books on combat moves coupled with secret techniques on effective power control, leaving out the four remaining column which is entirely meant for advanced moves that produces lethal effect as well as strong effect when used only by a top master especially the likes of Karz and Samon, that they can safely controll without endangering the lives of others by placing a protective force field to act as a barrier in the library.
Samon had given her seven large books on combat spells couple with concise scrolls properly prepared for each books in order to enable her decipher the ancient languages that was scribbled in each books, together with a long scroll that will aid her keep a separate detail of each book. He also gave a book containing healing spells with its own scroll as well as another book which came from the last four columns consisting of numerous secret advance spells that might be her hidden card against Akanon. Jane had gradually undertook combat lessons ranging from a two-leveled master to a fourth-leveled master where she is yet to perfect two more moves before entering the next fifth-level, after she had completed the remaining basic moves in a separate garden at the back of the central building within the estate vicinity, which Karz have taught her halfway through before entering the central section of the city.
"And in order to achieve this spell using this combo, l need to slowly twist my finger tips around to the right with both arms stretched forward while the right act as the back leg stays firm to support the front left leg and my body slightly bent to the right side while I hold firm the enormous amount of energy generated by this technique before releasing it to the directed object that would face the impact", Jane murmured while she translate each into the long scroll using one of the concise scrolls to understand its meaning as she sat down on a stylish round stool that had four others around a square-sized table of the stylish design,with the books behind her, as she continue to at the left corner of the last bookshelf.
She was totally engrossed in the activity that she didn't notice that the time for her next lesson had elapsed and Samon, whose turn now is to test her on the past combat spells as well as some of the recent skills he has learnt in order to analyze her performance ever since she started the lesson, had been waiting for her to end her study at the library of spells which was taking way too longer than the usual as depicted by the hour-glass he had carried with him to ensure that they start and end each session on time.
Then he decided to go to the library in order to find out what is actually taken her so long to finish and when he got there, she had just realized she lost track of the time which had ran out during her study and had kept the spell book where she had previously taken out from the bookshelf during her study session that ended quite a while ago. He met her as she was about to exit to the upper room after clearing out the books and returning them to their former position in each bookshelf.
"Oh! I'm so sorry for having lost track of the time, I promise that it will never happen again", Jane sincerely apologized before him while he gazed at her openly with a short smile,
"That's what you said the last time making it the fourth time you have erroneously lost track of the time ", Samon scoffed and said,"I can see now that you must be a serious scholar when you were living in the realm, which is very good since that's very impressive for someone to search for knowledge. Let's go to the garden and use the remaining time to practice a few advance moves",
"Does that mean that I won't get punished for wasting the whole time reading the books?", Jane asked feeling angry at herself for letting Samon down again for the fourth time in all the thirteenth lesson he had taught her while Karz had only taught her four times.
"Yes, you won't get punished this time around but I will have to get you to demonstrate before me what you studied concerning any portion of the advanced spell book which I gave to you", Samon replied as they ascended the stairs to the central room which paved way out into the vicinity of his estate that ran along a smooth pathway to different places in the it's perimeter while they tread on the path which took them to the garden behind the central building. Jane wasn't quite sure she was prepared to demonstrate in front of Samon, what she just read about a while ago since she hadn't been able to practice it because she knew within herself that level of energy cultivation isn't strong enough to perform such an advance move
"And I guessed he only decided that to teach me a lesson and the same analyze my study abilities to see if I am ready for the duel or not. But I need to conjure a good advance spell that would require a sufficient amount of energy cultivation to produce", Jane soliloquies as they walked slowly towards the beautiful garden which was adorned with choral wild plants as well as herbs mixed with up some useful plants which could serve as food ingredients of which the servants often utilized when preparing meals for Samon's household. The wild plants were all new to Jane the very first time she saw them for they were entirely different from those ones she normally saw back in Chicago where she had engaged in a farming project along with other group of teens sponsored by her school where she understood the importance of the ecosystem as well as the diverse economical benefits which the humans derives from varieties of plants that is widespread in the human realm , but they don't fascinate her anymore because she has been focused on improving her abilities as well as her powers to engage in the duel which clouded her mind from paying attention to their enraptured beauty as well as their sweet fragrance they emitt every now and then filling the whole garden with a nicely perfumed which attracted some flying creatures with pink wings, having a squirrel-like tail and a two-edged pointed beak called Belytas which nested upon some of the short trees.
"I remember now. I can use that advanced spell I suddenly came across while studying the advance spell book which is quite achievable by any low-level master even a two level master can conjure it with sufficient energy but I need to follow the exact technical approach in order to achieve it perfectly or it would affect my internal organs if I miss a step which I seriously hope not to commit while conjuring out the advanced move", Jane continued to soliloquize as they approach the Medium size garden which seems a bit far for them reach,
"I can do this, oh yes I can", Jane reassured herself which enabled her to relaxed her tensed nerves which almost made her faint because it's her first time she's gonna be producing this spell which is far beyond her level and failure isn't an option for what's at stake
