"Tomo, why did you destroy it?" Yue asked as they walked out of the room.
"Think about it. Allowing such magic to sit here for others to discover. Wouldn't we be inviting trouble if someone with evil intentions decides to try to use it?" Tomoya did not want the demons to get this magic. While she did not care what happened after she left this world, and she also did not wish to fight against the gods, she did not want trouble finding her.
"This place…." Tomoya looked at the massive library and smiled. She had read about it but was unsure if the place was real or not. Luckily, it was. "Yue, we will spend some time here."
"Okay." Yue nodded. She also wished to spend time here reading these books as well.
Tomoya walked right over to the books and began scanning through them. She was looking to see what each of these were, and to her surprise, it was a collection of old texts from the gods' era. She pulled a book off the shelf and began reading it.

"Tomo!?" Yue stared at Tomoya, whose face suddenly went pale with a worried look on her face.
"Ugh…. I feel sick…. Too much information at once…." Tomoya felt as if her head was going to explode. Billions of words and numbers and symbols were being shoved into her head. But she had to admit this was an amazing thing. She now understood so much that she could easily create anything she wanted. Not to mention that she could now memorize all the books in this room in just a day or two. She would only need a glance to memorize everything.
Tomoya took a deep breath as she looked at Yue and whispered in her mind. 'Yue, I am fine.'
"Tomo? My mind?" Yue was confused, but when she saw Tomoya grin at her, she knew Tomoya must have gained a new skill. She thought for a moment before thinking: 'Can you hear me?'
'Mhmm. I can hear you loud can clear,' Tomoya replied. She grinned when she saw how quickly Yue adapted. She knew this girl was smart. 'We can use this when we are in crowded areas. I am not sure how many minds I can link to, but it has room for growth and will level up.'
'Then let's use it while we are here. This way, you can train it more.' Yue felt like this was interesting.
'Then let's do that.' Tomoya agreed that the best way to level a skill was to use it over and over. The two chatted for a while before Tomoya finally settled in and began reading the books. She would skim through a book in less than a minute and be able to remember everything.
As the day passed, the more Tomoya learned, and the more she learned, the more she understood what creation magic truly was and how her own version as she had it now could be used to create many different things. One of them is something she had long wanted, even before she was thrown into this world.

[The following skills: Transmute, Ore Appraisal, Precision Transmutation, Ore Perception, Ore Desynthesis, and Ore Synthesis have merged to create Alchemy]
[Alchemy is a process of creating items with materials at hand.]
[Note: Must have an understanding of the item you are creating and the materials to make it.]
After reading and committing all the books in the library to memory, Tomoya closed the book in her hand and smiled. 'Yue, we may be able to take this mansion with us.'
'How?' Yue's eyes glowed with interest. She had no idea they could actually take the entire house with them.
'I need to work out a few details that I am unsure of, but one of the books mentions an ability to stick things into another dimension, kind of like a dimensional box type deal. But if what the theory says is correct inside the book, then we can actually create a small space for us to live in. Meaning we can roam around as much as we want, and at night, we can retreat to our own house. While this place is a bit dirty, we can clean it up for now, and then later, I can build us a better one. Also….' Tomoya flipped her hand, and a ball of water suddenly formed out of thin air.
Yue dropped the book in her hand, ran over to Tomoya, and stared at the water floating in the air. "How!?"
"I can cast up to intermediate magic. But mine does not require spells or chants. I just need to picture the spell in my mind." Tomoya explained.
"That's cheating!" Yue pouted as her cheeks puffed out. "But still Tomo… Congratz."
"Thank you." The thing Hajime lacked the most was magic. He made up for it using his strength and weapons. But if you added in magic, he would have had a much easier time. But the best thing was now she also could make weapons as well. However, she did not know if she wanted to use guns or not. She kind of liked using the sword. "Maybe I can make a gunblade…."
