{Noah}
" This might be the most important place of the academy. The library. It is said to contain many martial arts manuals, magic theories, Contract Holders theories, and scrolls. However, there is something in particular that I'm looking for here, I just don't know where it is."
Noah starts exploring the library. After two whole hours, he finished exploring the first floor he tries proceeded to explore the second one.
- It wasn't here.
Noah heads to the stairs that lead to the second floor.
- Hey! You!
- Me? asks Noah.
- Yes! You!
- What is it?
- First, why are you acting like that, I am older than you, you know!
- So what? I don't care about age, if I cared you would be the one to that should show me some respect.
{Librarian}
" Is this kid alright? I am obviously older than him, so what the hell is he talking about? You know what, there are mentally deranged people everywhere there is no point in listening to what this kid has to say."
- Whatever, kid. You can't go to the second floor.
- Why?
- Aren't you a first-year?
- I am so what?
- Then you will get an explanation tomorrow, for now, all you need to know is that you can only use the first floor.
{Noah}
" Tch! What I am looking for is not on the first floor, in fact, I don't even know on which floor it is located and if I tell him that he will get suspicious since a first year shouldn't know about the books that are in the library. This is a real pain in the ass! I have no choice but to wait for tomorrow."
- Wait. Now that I think of it you've only entered the library an hour ago, yet you want to head to the second floor... You... Are you looking for something?
- Huh?...
{Noah}
" Damn it!"
- What are you talking about? How would I know what does the library of the academy have when I never attended the academy?
- But no matter which angle I look at it, the actions that you took shows that you are looking for something.
- Are you sure you are the librarian?
- Of course, I am! Why?
- If you really were the librarian you wouldn't be asking such a stupid question.
- Whatever! You can't go to the second floor!
- Fine, I heard you loud and clear, in fact, I gotta go now.
{Noah}
" It took me two whole hours to search the first floor. The second floor might have more books so it would take me even more time to search there, plus this guy is in my way. I have no choice but to back off this time."
Noah leaves the stairs and exits the library.
{Bright}
- What were you even looking for in there? Is there something you wanted to learn?
{Noah}
" No. There isn't."
{Bright}
- So why are you looking for something? ...You don't tell me that you want to
{Noah}
" You got it right. There is something, a book, that I need to destroy.
{Bright}
- If there is a book you want to destroy then I'm guessing it's that one isn't it? The one that was used by that magician to gain that ominous magic.
(Noah)
" That's right in the future two of them appear; one is a magician and after the one who was my right hand killed him, I went and searched his lab and what I found was a book containing the method to acquire the power he acquired but most importantly inside the book was written "property of the Fayrak academy" which creates two possibilities. The first one would be that the book was found by a student, or the second possibility would be that it was found when the Fayrak kingdom fell and was destroyed. As for the second one, there is nothing I can do about him."
{Bright}
- Right, you weren't the one that killed him after all.
{Noah}
" It wasn't me but from the report that I saw the first was a Contract Holder. The only way to get rid of him would be to kill him before he gains too much power but I never faced him so I don't know what he looks like plus he was always wearing a hood and because of that the only one that knows his identity is the one that killed him. However, they ended up killing each other."
{Bright}
- So, the second one is a Contract Holder, huh? If he was then you are right the only way to take care of him while keeping future damages to the lowest would be to kill him in his earlier stage. But are you sure you would be able to do it, even though he might be a normal and innocent person right now? What made him what he was in your past life you might be able to change him.
{Noah}
" You are wrong, Bright. No matter what, I will kill him."
{Bright}
- You have already made up your mind, huh?
{Noah}
" I have."
{Bright}
- Why. From what I remember he didn't hurt you whether it was directly or indirectly he might have killed plenty of people but from what I know you didn't care back then and you still don't.
{Noah}
" You are right I didn't care about what happened to humanity and I still don't. Right now, I only care about two things and they are, first, protecting my family and second, my revenge. And this guy no matter what type of person he currently is I cannot guarantee that he won't become the same person that he became in my past life and if he does become the same then he will become a danger to my family, one and he will become a pain in the ass when it comes to my revenge because he sided with the demons."
{Bright}
- No matter what I say you won't change your mind, will you?
{Noah}
"Yeah."
{Bright}
- Fine I'm going to cut communication I gotta cultivate.
Bright voice disappears.
" He really is an angel. He tried his best to change my mind but... Sorry Bright, I've already decided that anybody that gets in the way of either of my goals I won't hesitate to kill them if I deem it necessary."
Noah heads to the Arena. When he arrives there the arena wasn't in its arena form it was transformed into the training grounds.
{Noah}
"I got two hours before supper. I'll train a bit. Hmmm... I've already adapted to two times weight I'll increase the weight of the shackles to four times."
Noah sends some Aura into the Shackles Of Heaviness, which, absorbs the sent Aura and each of the shackles increase in weight. Before each of the shackles was two times heavier than normal, in other words, each of the shackles weighed 5 lbs for a total of 20 lbs but now he sent enough Aura to double the weight which means that each of the shackles weighed 10 lbs for a total o 40lbs. After doing so Noah picks up a wooden sword and starts swinging it.
[An hour later]
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING, ARCADIOS?
Noah stops running laps and turns around to see who was the one that called him.
- So, it's you that's yelling in such a non-fitting manner for your title of prince. What do you want, Fayrak?
The one that had yelled his name was non-other than the first prince Gancelot Fayrak. At first, Gancelot seems agitated, pissed even, at Noah's remark but instead of jumping at him or attacking him. He stops and takes a deep breath and says.
- I didn't come here to start a fight.
- Then why are you here?
- For two reasons. First, I wanted to apologize for my past behaviors.
He lowers his head and continues.
- Sorry.
The act of head lowering is the noble's way to apologize. When a noble does it means that he admits his wrongdoings and asks for forgiveness.
{Noah}
" Oooh. I am surprised. I didn't expect him to admit that he was wrong, since he is a prince and at such an age. He is quite mature. Is it because he grew up in the royal palace?"
- Raise your head, I accept your apology. What is the second reason you are here?
- Are you close to Wind Sword Darius?
{Noah}
" I see... he probably wants me to put in a good word to Darius so that he would take him as his disciple. Right now everybody thinks that Darius still didn't take anyone as his disciple but the truth is that Darius actually has a daughter and she is his disciple, however, that will be revealed later."
- Not really, why?
- Too bad. Since I am a wind magic user I wanted him to take me as his disciple. My father tried to ask him but he refused.
- Is that so?
- So I'm going with the second option.
- Second option? Who is that?
- You!!!
- What!? I can't help you I'm a lighting user!
- So what? Teach me the way you use your mana and teach me some close combat techniques!
{Noah}
" In the future, the second prince ends up dying the details were hidden but if I were to guess it would probably be that he did not die but more like he was killed. If I train him I would get an ally."
- Fine I'll help you but you have to listen to what I say and if you complain I'll beat you up.
- Say what?
- Do you accept?
{Gancelot}
" I don't have much of a choice I need to get stronger otherwise my eldest brother will probably get rid of me, Juliana and mom."
- Yes, I won't complain and I'll do everything you say as long as I can get stronger.
- First, Take off your shirt, since you don't want your shirt to be soaked in sweat, and follow me were gonna do some laps.
- Ok!
Gancelot takes his shirt off and they both start running laps around the training grounds.
