"This is an article from one of the top journals and it was released a few years back." Ella pointed to the first line on her phone that read 'Chaos Theory'.
There were a few generic sentences at the top which she hurriedly scrolled down. Noah as well looked curiously.
However, all they found were only redacted black blocks.
"Hmmm? This is odd." Ella pursed her lips.
"Meh. It's impossible to remove something from the internet once it is out. Give me. Let me look."
Noah tried using the word chaos in several different ways. He even used the word in different alternations like cha-os and ch-aos but oddly found nothing at all.
"Hmmm. Let's just go back to that redacted article and see if we can guess the words based on the length." Ella suggested.
Noah nodded and the two of them opened that tab again only to find that article missing too!
"What the hell?" Ella widened her eyes in shock.
Noah stared at the high-tech phone silently for a few seconds and then let out a small sigh. "Ok. Let's go. It's getting late."
"Huh? What happened? You don't want to ask the librarian about this? Maybe she will be able to pull something out?"
"I doubt it." Noah shook his head.
In the world where he came from, it is impossible to hide something like this and if it was still hidden, it meant that people in high places did not want others to look at it.
So his only option in this case was to let it go.
"It's nothing serious. I simply asked because I heard someone on the bus talking about it. Anyways, I am hungry. Let's go."
"Ok." Ella quickly because she was also hungry. "So you'll really think about transferring to the engineering division?" She asked again.
"Yes, I will."
"Ok then." She flashed a big smile, looking very relieved.
What a good girl! Noah smiled as well and then unexpectedly the girl in front of him pounced on him and started pulling his cheeks to the two ends of the planet.
"Fuck!" Noah cursed out loud. It really hurt!
"This is for making me worry!" Ella giggled and ran away.
"Monster." Noah smiled at the running away culprit and then turned around to return back to his room. The next second his smile disappeared.
"System" He muttered under his breath calling out the interface again. Just because the library was a dead end, he was not planning on giving up so easily.
"There should be more information here." Noah looked at the status screen that popped up again and this time he clicked the flashing
[Ding. Quest: Learn a tier 0 or above magic spell]
[Ding. Reward: 100 experience points]
"Hmmm?" Noah looked at the flashing information. This didn't answer any of his questions. Only gave him a lot more new ones to think about.
"So I do this task and become stronger?"
He walked into his dorm room, curiously looking inside.
He had actually expected a couple more students to show up in his room by now as there were two additional beds in the small room, but there was no one else.
"Maybe since I am a repeater, room allocations got mixed up?" He thought about it for a couple of seconds but quickly moved on to his other problem.
Why he didn't get a roommate was not even remotely on the top of his list. Noah looked around to see if there was any backpack or anything of that sort with some books in it.
He had searched this room before too, but he did not find anything except for some cheap-looking clothes and a few sets of school uniforms.
"Not a single book? What did this guy even do in this school?" Noah scratched his head. "Maybe I should just go back to the library and search there."
He stood up and opened the door to leave when unexpectedly someone else stood in front of him. It was a short, slightly healthy-looking fella.
"Hi?"
"Yo! I guess you are my roommate then? I am Ron." The chubby guy barged in pushing Noah aside.
He then took one look at the room and started tossing out Noah's things from the lower bunk bed. "I will be taking this. You take the upper one."
Noah frowned. However, he was in a hurry so he didn't want to bother with this right now. He once again turned to leave when Ron called after him.
"Dude, where are you off to in such a hurry? Everything is closed now. It is late."
"Oh?"
"Hey Hey! Do you maybe know of a canteen that's open at night?"
"No?" Noah scratched his head. If he knew that everything was going to close, he would have gone sooner.
"Tsk. Tsk. That sucks." Ron clicked his tongue and then shoddily emptied his bag out on the floor, taking out his stuff and haphazardly shoving them inside the shelf that was next to him.
He had already lost interest in Noah and was doing his own thing.
He emptied out his three bags in less than a minute and then opened his fourth bag, out of which a big chips packet fell out.
This one looked like it was filled to the brim with snacks but Ron reached into it and pulled out a couple of books.
"Spellbooks?" Noah expectantly looked, only to see that they were magazines with well-endowed naked women on the cover.
'Big titties' was the first one's title and 'Hot MILFs' was the second one's title.
Noah's lips twitched as he watched the guy jump onto the bed with these two books, the packet of chips, and a sincere studious look on his face.
