As Noah walked into the library, he was astounded to see how many people were there, checking out and reading a wide variety of books.
However, he observed something peculiar.
The first section of the library was crowded with people, but the second and third sections were deserted. the first region was with books about practical subjects, books about the principles of magic and swordplay in the second, and books about current events, history, geography, and other subjects in the third.
He silently moves towards the second region, trying as much as he can to not interfere with anyone and not stand out. When he reached the second region, he searched for the magic theory section and Grimore section. When he found them, he looked for some books and at last found some books, namely the fundamental theory of mana, the book about different types of mana, the fundamental theory of magic spells and magic circles, as well as some beginner grimores of elements like fire and ice.
He then heads to the third region, where there is almost no one, so he decides to find a place to keep his books and heads to find some other books from the third region. After some time, he finds some relevant books that he was looking for; those are the geographical outline of the continent, the lore of the continent's past, the modern age of peace and mages, and some more books.
When he returned to the place where he kept his books, he saw someone there reading the books. When he went near there, he saw a girl just about his age reading his books.
He was confused and said, "Hey, those are my books that you are reading."
When she lifted her head to see him, he saw that girl had silver hair and blue eyes and was wearing a hoodie.
She said to him, "Well, you didn't take good care of it and left here, and I saw it and took it."
He was very mad at her bitchy attitude and said, "Mam, I have left them here to take some more books as they were too heavy for me to hold, so may I kindly ask you to return them?"
She looked at him with a disgusting look and said, "No, I am reading it now, so it's mine now."
Noah was enraged at this point and slammed the book she was reading. She took everything and made a run for it while shouting, "I hope I never see any other trash people like you."
When he finally got a place to read in peace, he began to read all the books he had, from which he came to a conclusion about magic and the continent.
Mana is the fundamental necessity for using magic. Mana is mainly obtained from atomic-sized mana particles, which are then gathered by humans, condensed, and becomes a form of energy called magic energy, which is used to create and use different magic spells.
Magic circles are formations created by mages for focusing and forming magic spells, and magic spells are collective incantations that are arranged in a specific manner to form specific spells. Somehow Noah felt a familiarity between programming and this, like how specific codes are used to form a specific program to execute a desired command.
And from the books he got from the third region, Noah came to the conclusion that
The continent is divided into 7 parts: the sea city "Aqua, "the magic city "Magiculus," and the non-human species alliance, which has the territory of many non-human species; the capital "Yozora; and the deep forest of Stregato. Stregato expands even further in the southwest regions of the continent, which have very notorious bests; the city of martial arts, "Murim," has areas under demonic infestation.
While he was reading, he lost track of time, and it was already noon, so he decided to head home for the day and visit the library the next weekend.
