61 Library (2/2)
Many of the people who join the Military reserve unit do so either because they have no choice or to make more money on top of the job they already work. Desmond knew this and was happy he didn't have to do the same while his assets would dwindling fast anytime he decided to buy more study material. He looked on the bright side of not having to go to clover forest and get torn apart again by all the ungodly monsters out there.

Desmond also looked towards the clock realize what time it was ”Its about time I head towards the library and study some more again”
While Roy wasn't a mage and could only focus on developing his own internal energy or chi he still felt envious towards Desmond ”what is it that you do exactly that you're able to afford the entry price and hourly prices at the military library”.
The library at the city guard camp is open to any military personnel it is filled with all kinds of books ranging from beginner apprentice rank to rank 1 knowledge. The higher grade stuff is all kept in Delmar City military's Central library that isn't open to the public. Only high rank personnel and people that have ties with the military or the Eclipse Association that manage the city is allowed entry.
The library at the city guard camp has a paywall of 2 magic crystal's to enter and 3 magic crystal's per hour after that to stay in the normal section. This doesn't seem like a lot, but when taking into account most people don't instantly remember what they see and how few people master things in one attempt the price and how you can't take any of the books home becomes staggeringly high.
The paywall was put in place to regulate people's access especially those from the military reserve unit. Their yearly pay was 7 magic crystal's the only time it went beyond that was when they were ordered to fight. Even Desmond felt the pain of such prices he had stuck to the beginner section which was 3 magic crystal per hour and 4 if you wanted to read anything that pertained to attack based spells.
The intermediate section was the furthest Desmond was allowed to explore since he was only apart of the military reserve and not the actual military. It was 6 per hour there and 8 magic crystals if he wanted to see attack based spells.
If Desmond wanted to get advanced knowledge he would need special permission from a high ranking officer. Desmond inwardly grimaced over his lack of funds if he wasn't allowed to copy the books he read than he would have given up, but there was a catch.
Even though you are allowed to copy and take a book home you are not allowed to sell the knowledge, tell another person about the contents of what you read, or purposely show it to anyone else. The conditions were written in on the soul contract Desmond sighed when he joined the reserve unit everything is enforced and overseen by the will of the world.
While Desmond inwardly grimaced over his lack of funds because of how broke Vincent was he faced Roy and gave a simple reply ”I stole it just like any normal person would”.
Roy just laughed off what Desmond said not knowing it was the truth.
