Chapter 80: The Library
A month flies by in a flash. In the past month, Nia has gradually adapted to the atmosphere of this otherworldly magic academy. And Sitana, under Nia's deliberate "exercise", developed the habit of getting up on time before seven o'clock every day, no matter what day of the week.
As for the previous relationship between Nia and her classmates. Because the class mode of the college is similar to the random seating of the university, everyone is seated on a first-come, first-served basis, so there is not much intersection between everyone except for classes. Despite his age, most of the classmates like to come over and tease this smart little sister during recess. But the only one who is really close to Nia is her roommate Stana, and of course this also has the relationship that she needs to take care of this girl who is two years older than her in physical age.
When it comes to why Sitana needs Nia's care, Nia has done experiments in the past. On that day, Nia asked Sitana to go out of town alone to buy some cabbage for herself, only to be able to buy a large amount of onions at a price of more than half of the normal price. In the end, on that night, Nia cooked the meal with tears in her eyes (spicy smell). After that, Nia never let the other party go out to buy groceries.
However, some simple food was still given to Sitana as a matter of course, after all, the other party had learned the [food making technique]. Although Starna's personality is somewhat natural, there is nothing wrong with just making some bread or something. After that, Nia would process the bread or other ingredients, such as making an otherworldly version of a burger or something. After this month, Nia clearly felt that the "experience points" of her originally unsightly cooking skills had risen very optimistically.
Speaking of which, it made Nia unusually depressed. After inquiry, it was not until the second half of the first year that Nia and her sisters would have the opportunity to learn about magic. Although Nia was able to teach herself the art of making food before, unfortunately, Nia has not found a suitable opportunity so far. So as Nia watched as Sitana waved her wand, a few slices of fluffy bread baked in the empty plate appeared. She could only grit her teeth with envy on the side. "You have to learn this magic yourself!"
As for the clues about Shalan, Nia also asked a group of teachers. But the result was that the other party was not only one of the vice presidents of this magic academy, but also the president of the magician association. And now, the other party has left the academy for an important matter. After getting the news, Nia had no choice but to go back and wait, but fortunately she had a lot of time to wait for her to come back.
Although this month of life has been more comfortable than before, Nia has a problem that makes her rush to trouble. That is, although in the first class of school, Nia was lucky to pass because of her previous accumulation, but unfortunately, it seems that the teacher has his eyes on the two, especially Nia who answered the right questions.
Although it is said that being asked questions often increases a person's level of knowledge, which is a good thing. But as the course progressed, so did the questions that Nia was asked, and it became clear that gradually, some of the questions were out of the textbook, despite their use. As a last resort, after class ended at noon today, Nia said goodbye to Sitana and walked alone towards the large library located on the side of the Academy of Magic. There are no classes this afternoon, so Nia plans to spend the whole afternoon in the library.
Before that, although Nia had seen the library from a distance, she had never actually entered it.
The library covers a huge area. The whole building is made of red bricks and stones, which looks quaint and magnificent. The library is divided into three levels, which provide reference materials for grades 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6. Each floor is taller than the average floor, so that people who read in it do not feel oppressed. The lighting in the interior has also been designed by professional designers to ensure that the lighting from the bookshelves to the reading area is guaranteed.
As soon as I walked into the library, a quaint atmosphere came to my face. There aren't many people reading books in the library. Scattered throughout the library. As far as the eye can see, it is a sea of books, and on the first floor alone, Nia sees rows of neatly arranged bookshelves full of books. In comparison, the people in the library are as small as ants.
"There are at least 10,000 copies here." Nia didn't expect that the foundation of Einhard Academy would be so profound. It is important to believe that these are only some of the books that can be made public, and there are still a lot of privacy issues that cannot be put on the surface.
The purpose of Nia's trip is the first level. But on the first floor of this huge library, despite some simple divisions, it is indeed too difficult to find a book with only vague introductions.
"Origin of Magic...... Origin of Magic...... Magical Origins...... carrying a small stool, Nyoa searched through the dense shelves for the books she wanted.
The origin of magic, which was taught by Professor Hank in the last lesson, touched on a lot of history on the continent of Arad, even dating back to ancient magicians. In the outside world, these things have only survived through songs and bards, but in this magic academy, there are still many books about that era. These things have never appeared in any of the games Nia has played before, so maybe a new expansion will come later. Because of this, Nia also has a strong interest in these things.
However, looking at the first floor of the library, which was like the sea, Nia still sighed helplessly. I hope I can find the books I need. But doesn't this library have a book search or anything?
And just as Nia was churning in the sea of books, a weak voice came from Nia's side, and if you listen carefully, you can still find the cowardice in the other party's voice. "If you ...... That one...... If you're looking for a book on the origins of magic, look for the fourth book on the bookshelf 23 in District 3 on the east side, The Origin of Magic...... The second book in the middle of the bookshelf No. 21 in District 8 on the east side, "The Rise and Fall of Ancient Magic...... The fifth book "The Dust of History" in the middle of the bookshelf No. 6 in District 31 on the west side...... and so on, and 29 books are covered in ...... These are the books that mention the origin of magic in all the records on the first floor of the library...... The first 6 books are dedicated to the origin of magic...... Later books deal with this slightly......"
