"hmmmmmmmm"
2 days later, our protagonist was feeling rather studious.
"Hmmmmmmm"
He had spent the past 46 system hours hiding out in the archives, combing through book after book.
"Hmmmmmmmmm"
What had started of as reading into mana basics and world theory, had quickly escalated into ether mechanics and the behavior of ether in differential phases. He was mainly egged on by Argos.
"Mary rode off into battle upon her war lambs, leading her herd into the most intense part of the battle field"
[...sire...]
Then quickly devolved into fairy tales and children stories since Aedhira believed he was wasting his childhood away by studying too much, which would force him to mature too quic-
"-kly, and cause me to make bad financial decisions, which would lead to me becoming bankrupt at some point. Then my wife and kids would abandon me leaving me in the streets-"

"and then i'd meet a violent and gruesome death by loan sharks who've come to collect everything I own. Then I'd be murdered and be butchered for my body parts cause they're so rare and precious, and be sold off so they can make profits off of me."
[....wow, that escalated quickly]
"and so i believe, i need to read these children's tales to learn important life lessons that'd let me thrive in the future"
And sadly, his protests didn't exactly sound like rubbish.
[Sire, you have already scanned every physical copy in this archive, and all the digital works on the local network]
"yeah? what about it"
[in about 4 system hours after you arrived here]
"...."
[Twice]
"..."
[There was no need to manually read the fairy tales was there?]
"....there was" Aedhira muttered under his breath
[Was there?]
"Yes. I mean...if i just scanned everything, then I'm not any different from those printing machines down the hall right?"
[Farbicators]
"Just because I have the capabilities to do it efficiently, doesn't mean I HAVE to do it efficiently"
Aedhira had been mulling on his comprehensive capabilities ever since he had set foot out of...Out of....
Out of what?
"Argos...this outpost...its an outpost right?"
[Affirmative]
"Right, does it have a name"
[Affirmative. Official designation : Lokir 385]
"Official? Does it have another name?"
[Affirmative. Traveler Akari Satou aka Blade_SHOUJO6969:) had come upon this planet once in her journeys. She not only liberated this major NAT-satellite from rebel forces, but also named this outpost after a place from her planet of origin, one she apparently held dear in her heart. She coined the name "Fort Blanche"]
"Catchy. Fort Blanche then."
Ever since Aedhira set foot out of Fort Blanche, he had been mulling over his comprehensive capabilities. And when he had scanned every physical copy in the library within 4 hours, he had his answer. That's not to mention the 185.33 Yottabytes equivalents of data he had simultaneously scanned while reading books. In a word, very freaky and abnormal.
Aedhira suddenly looked around for no one in particular.
[Sire, stop fooling around now. I deduce your Runes have stabilized by now since their initialization, its time you got some practice in magic]
"YEAHHHHH, LESSSGOOOOO"
He was hopping around like a child. Well technically he was a-
