Chapter 22 - The day of the library

When aran woke up the next morning, Arrax was still sleeping on a chair. After getting ready, he went to the diner and finished his breakfast. Before going to his classroom, he left some food for arrax in the room.

After attending the classes when he came back to his room arrax was writing. Since he had promised his friends that they can see arrax, he asked arrax to come and meet his friends.

" What? Did you say I am your pet to your friends?" arrax asked.

He was furious to know that aran told his friends that arrax is his pet since he thought of himself as superior to lower-realm beings.

" I just said that to keep things secret. We are in the heavenly continent. If anyone here realises that you are a dragon then they will hunt you down. So please don't make this a big deal !" Aran said.

Although arrax couldn't understand the concept of why both types of cultivate hate each other in the lower realm, he knew that he won't be able to defend himself if everyone fought against him since he wasn't strong enough. Therefore he decided to go with Aran's plan.

After getting ready, Aran took Arrax to meet with Barton and Adelina and both of them liked arrax very much. After playing around for a while, everyone went back to his room and arrax continued his writing.

*****

After a week, it was a Saturday night and arrax had already finished his writing. After checking his writings, aran got sure that arrax is ready.

While aran was thinking about some things, Arrax asked him "Now that I have finished writing, what are we going to do with these books?"

"Let's throw them away or we can also burn them!" Aran replied. Hearing that arrax got angry, he didn't want to burn something he had worked on for a whole week.

" Burn them? Do you know how difficult it was to write all of these things? I even had to write the same thing again and again. Now we are going to just burn them like it's nothing?" Arrax asked.

" It wasn't about the books but you getting fluent in reading and learning. Now that you have learned it, we don't need them anymore! " Aran said.

" But why can't we keep it?" Arrax asked. He was still hesitant about that.

" Why do we have to keep something that is of no use to us? Anyway, here is your pill, take it and don't talk about the books!" Aran said and gave a pill to arrax.

Even though arrax wanted to keep the books, after getting the pill he also felt like he had got what was needed and he also decided to get rid of them.

" Eat the pill and get ready because it's time for your next mission. This mission might last for a long time, and this time you will have to use your full speed !" Aran said.

Listening to that arrax was happy because he thought that if things go this then he might be able to get all the pills faster than he thought.

After taking the pill, arrax broke through in the mid-tier of the fourth stage and he started to feel stronger.

After that aran had something to say to him.

" Listen to me carefully. Always keep your pen with you and never lose it or keep it anywhere else!" Aran said.

" You mean this pen which I was using for writing? Why? do I have to write anything else ?" Arrax asked. He couldn't get why that pen is that important.

" Yes, something like that !" Aran replied.

" So? Would I get the next pill after writing that?" Arrax asked.

"No!" Aran replied.

Hearing that arrax got shocked.

" What do you mean no?" he asked.

" Well, the last mission was actually easy but things get difficult after this because, after this, you will only have to write for some hours a week so I can't just give you pills for that !" Aran replied.

" That's your problem, why would I have to suffer? " Arrax asked.

" Let's do this, you will get a pill for every thirty books you write !" Aran said.

Even though arrax thought that writing is embarrassing at first, later he realised that it is so easy and he was getting the pills faster than he assumed. So he liked the idea of achieving his dream of getting stronger with less effort. Therefore writing thirty books for a pill that makes him stronger seemed like a fair deal for him. But he still wanted to see if he can reduce the number of books.

" If we are going like that then twenty books for a pill! " Arrax replied.

"Twenty-eight books, for a pill, " Aran said.

"Twenty-two books " Arrax replied.

"Twenty-six books "

"Twenty-four books "

"Twenty-five books, final offer! " Aran said and arrax happily accepted it.

" So, when am I going to start? " He asked.

" Tonight! " Aran replied.

"Tonight? Then where at the books?" Arrax asked.

" They are in the library but we can only enter once a week and that too for some hours. You have to write as fast as you can. So use your lightning attribute at its full power! " Aran said.

" Why can't we just break into the library and write as much as I want ?"

" Do you want to die? Just listen to me. Tonight I will go to the library and summon you from there using the formation and you will arrive there with the pen and copy some of the books. " Aran explained it to arrax.

" Why can't just I go through the door ?" Arrax asked.

" Because it's restricted. And also I can't take anything with me while entering, So you will have to keep the pen with you and teleport there when I send the signal! " Aran said.

"So what about the notebook?" Arrax asked.

" Let me worry about that. Just fu locus on what I told you to do. And I can only stay in the library for one hour. So I will leave early but you will have to continue your writing. If I see anyone entering the library then I will send the signal and you can leave everything there and teleport with the pen! " Aran said.

" Okay! As long as you give me pills I can do that but I still have many doubts" Arrax said.

" Keep your doubt to yourself, and just do what I said. And never, never leave the pen there understand?" Aran asked but arrax stayed silent. Because he hates the fact that he has to follow someone else's orders.

Aran not only wanted to copy the books but he also wanted to increase his soul cultivation and it seemed like the best for him.

Even though he thought about doing something by teleporting the storage ring at first since the storage rings have a compressed space in them, it wasn't possible to teleport them through the space. So after thinking about many possibilities, it was the best plan he had.

*****

After a little while, it was finally time for aran to enter the library. After making sure that everything is ready, he left the room and went to the library.

After leaving his ring outside and getting checked by one of the supervisors outside, he entered the library and suddenly temporarily unsealed his cultivation to draw the formation, since it needs the demonic mana and sent the signal to arrax through the formation and immediately stopped the unsealing after that.

As arrax appeared there, he asked for the notebook for his writing. Aran choose a book from the library shelf and summoned the demon's book and gave it to arrax and told him to copy everything that was in it to that book.

Arrax couldn't get from where aran got that black book but he just started to write not caring about that.

Since there were thousands of books on the first floor from first to fourth-level techniques he only chose some specific books that contains fourth-level martial techniques in them and put them close to arrax and told him to copy as many books as possible.

Even though he knew that he won't be able to learn all of them, he knew that these martial techniques are worth more than anything else he can get and he knew exactly how to get the best of them.

As arrax continued to write using his lightning speed, the writing started to disappear just after he finished a page.

" What's happening with this book? Why is it disappearing? " Arrax asked.

" That's how that book works, don't mind that, just continue writing, " Aran replied.

After making sure that, everything is going on as he planned he sat down on the table and started to absorb the soul energy. By that time he was at the second tier of the profound stage in his soul cultivation.

After an hour, he stopped cultivating and told arrax to continue writing.

" If anyone enters then hide somewhere inside the library and wait for my signal! " Aran said and left the library.

He immediately rushed back to his room. After reaching his room, he started to look at the library door from there, using divine vision. He wanted to make sure that no one enters the library when arrax is in there.

After a while, when a student went close to the library to enter it, aran immediately created the formation and sent the signal to arrax. As the arrax realised that, he also left everything there and teleported to Aran's room with the pen. Immediately aran also summoned his book. As arrax saw that he asked how did he do that but aran just said that it was a little trick and that he will teach him when the time comes.

On the first day, Arrax managed to copy almost thirteen books using his lightning speed. Since he still had to write twelve more books to get the pill, Arrax said that he will do better next time.
