253 SCHOOL RECORDS (1/2)
With Fan Lei serving as their guide, it did not take long for them to reach the section where the student records were being kept.
The books in this part of the library looked much older than the rest of the books displayed at the other sections of the library.
Some books even have thick dust cloaking on its cover. This was enough to show how long those books were being kept here in the far end corner of the library without anyone checking them out.
The section where the student records were being kept is obviously abandoned for quite some time now. No students were even visiting this area.
Only the three of them were standing between the high wooden bookshelves holding the books in place.
Knowing that the person that they were looking for is someone who had been in Magus Academia for almost more than 20 years ago, they decided to start looking from there.
They took all the school records about the students of Magus Academia for the past 20 years.
The moment they put all of the books down to the table, a thick layer of dust clouded in the air.
”Cough! Cough!”
The three cough out the portion of the dust that they have inhaled. They put their hands in front of their faces to cover their nose, while the other hand fan the cloud of dust away.
When the cloud of dust finally subsided, each of them took student records to read and check it manually.
They tried to look for the sorceress named, Yu Yan. For she is the only lead that they could use to connect with the apprentice necromancer.
Mu Lingxi and her friends tried looking for Yu Yan's name among the school records of the sorceresses that enrolled 20 years ago and much later than that.
Since the incident in the Long Kingdom happened 18 years ago, then Yu Yan must have been in Magus Academia a few years earlier than that.
They carefully checked each of the sorceress names listed on the school records. Without them even realizing it, another four hours had passed already.
But so far, they haven't seen anything about the sorceress named, Yu Yan in the school records.
”She must be recorded somewhere. Just keep searching. We will eventually find it. Just be patient.”
Mu Lingxi said to the two of her friends when she noticed that they were already starting to lose their patience on what they were doing.
Mu Lingxi, on the other hand, was serious about what she was doing. She carefully checked each of the names listed on the school records one by one. Making sure that she never missed a single one.
Her eyes never left the pages of books as she tried to read all of the students' names recorded in the book.
They have already check many student records starting from 20 years ago, until to those school records who were older than the latter. But they still don't get any positive results.
There is not even a single detail about the sorceress named, Yu yan. Mu Lingxi even started checking the records for those sorceresses who show exceptional talent in Elixir Making.
Mu Ruochen had mentioned before that her mother used to be a famed healer because of her healing brew. Most likely she was also good at Elixir Making.
It seemed that Mu Lingxi's aptitude in Elixir Making is not just for a show. It was a talent running in her blood that she must have inherited from her mother.
”Su Yan, are you sure that the Clan Head gave you the right name???”
Fan Lei asked for who knows how many times already.
”It's Yu Yan. I'm sure of it.”
There is no way she will get the wrong name. It was her mother after all. But although she was sure about the name that she had in her memory, part of her was already starting to doubt if they might really see the record of her mother among the school record.
They have been looking for the records for almost the entire night already.y But they haven't got any result yet.
The other students who were reading at the other sections of the library were already starting to leave one after another. The people inside the library are getting more sparse as time goes by.
It did not take long for all of the students to return to their dormitory. Leaving only Mu Lingxi's group inside the school library that night.
”Are you sure she is from Magus Academia???? What if she used to study at a different school of magic??”
Yun Xue suggested when they have almost done checking all of the school records only to find nothing.
There is no student profile under that sorceress Yu Yan. If the other party is really a sorceress just like what their friend was insisting, then maybe she is not from Magus Academia
That is why they cannot find her record despite searching all night.
”No, she must be from Magus Academia as well, I'm certain about it. That is how she was able to get to know the apprentice necromancer. Besides, she also came back here at Magus Academia 18 years ago. So she must have records somewhere here.”
”Not if someone intentionally hides it???”
Fan Lei suggested another theory.
What he said is not entirely impossible. Considering that the records of the sorceress named Yu Yan could very much likely to lead to with whereabouts of the apprentice necromancer.
