The siblings now had plans to occupy themselves from lunch to the end of the afternoon; they thus headed to the Skill Library for thesunshi+ne for the whole day Perfect conditions for a perfect day
“There’s one thing I still don’t understand If you have yet to learn a skill from the library, how could you deal with the ? You shot sory Wolves], didn’t you?”
Theof the Adventurer’s Guild was quite close to the Skill Library Henry gallantly opened the door for his stepsister when they arrived at their destination
“I don’t think it could be called a skill… When you live in the Wilderness, you naturally pick up a trick or two, it’s kinda necessary to survive Can’t really say what it is since I don’t kno skills are supposed to feel like, I just go with the flow to always prevail I didn’t learn froht you ht be a skill, one I created by et a proper scroll, I want to know too Maybe I can teach you once I understand”
Staring in wonder, Nisha’s voice trailed off She knehat a library was There had been sorounds She was blind at the time and couldn’t read theh there was a well-furnished collection of books at the Dharnas’ estate as well, the elven girl hadn’t shown the
Wow, this is a true library
Racks filled to the bri endlessly made up the first floor The books neatly stowed in uniforuishable by their backs, each adorned with a different syraphed title
As if it wasn’t ih, the paper valley did not only spread horizontally, but also vertically, the little girl noticed after raising her head
The library continued to cliing according to the layer
Henry led her towards a counter near the stairs, ignoring the curious glances of the various people roa the first layer
He was the kind of person to never give up, and he nagged Nisha to have the last word
“That scary dark skill? Not a chance, it’sh You should take that chance, with your aptitude, learning one or two skills shouldn’t be a problem at all”
He beckoned at the clerk sitting behind the desk; Nisha had things she wanted to say, they noould have to wait
“Excuse uild card and she would like to be shown around Would you happen to be able to introduce her to the great Skill Library?”
Appearing quite annoyed to be bothered while he was reading, the elare at the youngsters
“Sure, sure, just ht, lad? Just tell her what she needs to know First, place your hand here; look closely little miss”
Pointing at a huge glassobfastened on top of the desk, the bored clerk urged Henry to de story quicker
Nodding silently, the noble stepped forward and placed his palm on the transparent ball
Slobe was soon filled with a bland brown glow, revealing his earth element affinity
“As you can see, we use this to detereneral utility spells are provided for free to anyone, like [Light] froht system, [Summon Water] from the water system and so on, the kind of spells and aura techniques without any offensive abilities that just ease the daily routine of Leandar’s citizens To receive that book, given with a memory stone, you only have to provide us with your name and place of residence if you’re a Leandar resident Adventurers get one for free too”
Tossing her a book identical to those placed on the shelves around the counter, the eth to refrain fro andcontinue his explanation
“What are you waiting for? I don’t have all day for you, go ahead, the sooner we’ll get rid of that basic test the sooner you can move on to the second floor to pick one meditation technique and one aura instruction book”
What’s a memory stone? And what aptitude? Didn’t I already do that at the Guild?
Nisha had many more questions, that Henry cut short
“Just do it I’ll explain it to you later, e’ll look for one or two books for you”
Evidently displeased by the service provided, her step brother gently pushed her towards the globe, eyeing the Library’s retainer, his eyes narrowed in distrust
Shrugging internally, the elven girl obliged Placing her s at the contact Wondering about the strange glass’ inner workings, she allowed her mana and aura to flow out into the item
Blossorew into a crihtly As soon as the fla ball stabilized, all color vanished frohts clais had actually happened so fast that it had been barely noticeable to the naked eye, the glass was now coon knew of the developh her powers’ influence; like she knew that it was not over, and that the orb wasn’t strong enough to contain the last change With a loud bang, it splintered inthe floor like rainbow raindrops
“What the …!”
Swearing loudly, the lazy e his book without realizing it
“Thedevice! You broke it! What did you do?”
Gaping at the countless sparkling glass frag , and his screams attracted another female employee
“You! Go and get the director! They broke thedevice!”
Accusingly pointing at the pair of siblings, he shouted at the innocent woman who hurried away
“This was not supposed to happen, was it?”
Deliberately ignoring the display of human stupidity, Nisha turned around and questioned Henry, her eyebrow raised
“No, actually, theorb only indicates your affinity, you saith me earlier The first tih the intensity wasn’t as great I guess I got stronger since then”
“Not going to co it?”
“You tend to mind small details too much, little sister”
He said with a dry laugh
How can he say it like that? It’s not like I’nificent beast!
Being ignored didn’t disturb the employee, as he stubbornly carried on with his tirade while Henry and Nisha were
“By the hat’s with the memory stone? And while we’re at it, what techniques did you pick?”
Casually asking, the dragon didn’t fool anyone, she was pressing for answers
“Ah, that brings back randfather being a great wizard, and I couldn’t help but note that dad was a powerful knight, after all he’s been entrusted the defense of the whole kingdo both a powerful knight and a great wizard at the same time Unfortunately, it see ress with the [Mysteries of the Earth] mana meditation technique
