Sitting quietly for awhile, she started to check her informations out of board. Opening the spectral screen to see...
Student name: Sky Logan
Rank:25
Core type: Pyramid
Soul weapon:(?)
Mana affinity: Pure light
Affinity mastery:0%
Skills: speed lv1, purification lv1
Essential rate:96%
Her face darken seeing that it reduced again. Unlike those with main elements who can recover their essentials faster than her, it's like 2:1%. She lose 2% of the essential only to gain 1%. She really needed to find quickly a way to balance the lose and gain rates.
Emotions of uncertainty penetrated her mind, where she thought of telling Dante but at the same time, she wanted to depend on herself even for once. She took her time rethinking, when she noticed the essential rate dropped to 95%.This fast drop really gets on her nerves, and she is becoming more desperate than ever, since it her pride against the benefits, the scale kept swaying.
"There's no other way...a good little sister should always depend on her brother. Yes, I'm a good sister, he never turns his back on me, conversely...he will be happy to help...um...yea"
She instantly used the pillow to mute her screams then threw it on the ground, exclaiming:
"How you call yourself independent woman you smelly bag of burdens! keep it together!"
She sighed leaning her head on the bed's edge downcasted, then she suddenly bounced up.
"Wait...shouldn't I check the library first!"
One way or another, hoping she may get into something at the library, she scrolled the spectral screen again that showed her friend's list, then called Natalie to accompany her but to her disappointment, she turned her down.
"I'm so sorry Sky, but lately I've been busy so..."
Now that she mentioned it, Sky realized that she haven't seen her around, thus, curiously she asked:
"In what exactly?"
Just when Natalie was about to answers, Sky heard a man's voice asking her what she wants to eat. Her face darkened on the fact that her childhood friend ditched her for a man. Sensing the cold quietness from Sky, Natalie quickly exclaimed:
"Its not what you think!! I'm studying ruin's formats with Luka, I swear!"
"Luka! as in Luka? the one who came with us?"
"Yes! We are in one of the Greens household, the one closer to academy...if..if you would like to join us I will ask him to send someone for you".
'Ask him?...send someone? Since when they were this close?' Sky's thoughts were more than confused. Something is fishy about those two and she can senses it.
Maybe she should go, since she can't make her friend speak, at least if she met with him, she can force him to spit out the whole thing, clearly that what she wanted but not for now.
"No need Natalie, but anyhow, is it true that the Greens have a small library in research section?...and can..I...have a passage...entery?"
Sky's voice sounded hesitant, so Natalie asked Luka right away knowing she changes minds easily when it comes for asking favors.
"Library? Yeah sure, I will tell Jim to prepare you one".
Luka replied forcing on words written in the book infront of him, not twitching on a breathe of wind that sneaked through the window and played his hair. Natalie's mind ceased for a second staring at him, thinking how much Luka changed in just three weeks. Now he looks like a real young master from the Greens.
"..Natalie?"
She gasped and felt embarrassed when caught stealing gazes, with a pink hue over her cheeks, she replied:
"He said it's okay, he will send someone".
"Oh..wow! tell him he rocks!"
She turned her face to the other side trying not to look Luka in the eyes while laughing at Sky's reaction.
"Study well Natalie, bye"
"Bye"
When the call ended Luka gazed at her being smiling.
"I thought you and Sky were close, why didn't you tell her about you coming here often?"
After a deep sigh she replied:
"I...I want to do something...by myself, not that I hate to be together or anything...it's just I want.. to believe that I can do something without burden her, especially now".
Hearing that, Luka's lips lighted up with a smile saying:
" You're a good friend Natalie ".
Setting up everything, Sky hastened through the gardens, the trails leaded her to end up infront of many long buildings where people with long lab coats roaming around the place, either chatting cheerfully or running from building to building while holding some strange things.
Feeling out of place, she picked up her base and stuck to the right side heading toward the long buildings.Then stopped to read a long sign that demonstrated each floor and it's content. It took her a couple of seconds to find the library from its symbol with the '3rd floor' written on the side. Walking through the glass entrance, Sky grasped at what she witnessed. People were floating around with mechanical boots like they merged out of fiction tale, and robots were everywhere staming while holding some heavy boxes. In this different wolrd far away from her village, there's another world that totally mesmerized her for the second time.
Suddenly a robot moved toward her, then proceeded extending its arm to the front on a human-like handshake gesture.
"Hello, I'm Jim-44, how can I help you student... Sky?"
She springed back with pure shock over her face.
"Who?!!..I mean how...do you know my name?"
The robot took a moment then answered:
"Every student's information had been monitored by Greens family...for security purposes".
Getting over the shock then cleared her throat, she just nodded saying:
"Um..well then...bye!"
Stroll around it, then continued forward in few steps, Sky could feel that it keeps following her. It started to get on her nerves whereas she paused her steps turing back.
"Why are you following me?"
The robot repeated: "Can I help you student..Sky?"
Groaning she scratched her head feeling odd talking to it, then remembered that Luka did mentione Jim earlier, could it be him?..it? Everything is complicated and hard to understand in this academy, so couldn't but to curse city's (B) advanced annoying sorcery, technology...or whatever it is.
"I'm here for Greens library".
Taking few seconds the robot reminded her she needs a passage entry from a member of the Greens which Sky stated that she already got one, mentioning Luka's name.Taking another minute the robot opened its mouth-like orifice that spit golden ticket.
Assuming it's the passage entry she took it out then spontaneity wiped her dry clean hand on her clothes for some unknown reason. With the passage entry on her grip, Sky used a teleport mana circles placed on the hallway.Tapping on the words 'Greens library' floated on the air, a marching up light enveloped her teleporting her to library.
