Chapter 273 - SILENT COMPETITION (1/2)

Now that Mu Lingxi got two additional heads to works with her agenda, she could at least cover more books in thrice the speed than normal.

So far, this is the best option that she could get for herself. Compared if she will going to do the research all by herself.

Mu Lingxi together with her two other pets busied themselves on checking out each of the books that can be found in the library.

This time, they did not just focus on student records. They also tried those records that can be found in the other sections of the library.

Such as the teacher profiles and the records of every notable figure in each field of magic. Like in Elixir Making, Mystozoology, Phytomysticology, and the likes.

Mu Lingxi even found some old records of her teachers while she was doing her research. It happened that Teacher Nana and Teacher Wei also came from the same class before.

It seemed like, Teacher Wei had been pursuing Teacher Nana for a long time now. Considering that they used to be classmates before.

For more than an hour or so, only the sound of page-turning can be heard in that isolated section of the library. Even the usually talkative, Janus is silent at this moment.

He was skimming books after books, one after another without rest. He was too caught up in this 'book viewing' thing.

To the point that he no longer noticed that his master was watching him at the side.

Mu Lingxi can't help but smile as she observed how focused Janus was on what he was doing.

”Ohh?? I never would have imagined that you are this cute when you are serious, Janus.”

”MEOW”

[I'm always cute, regardless of what I do.]

Janus replied as if it was a matter of fact.

”So when did you start loving books this much???”

Mu Lingxi can see that Janus was really serious about what he was doing. It was so rare seeing him like that so Mu Lingxi was really enjoying it.

”MEOW”

[Just today... Tsk!]

There was a slight hint of annoyance in Janus' voice when he said that. It seemed that he does not like being bothered whenever he was busy doing something.

Which is normal. After all, who won't feel bothered if someone keeps on disturbing you when you want to focus on something.

But Mu Lingxi did not stop on bothering her cat just because of that. She continued to ask him questions, trying to see if she could distract him.

”Why is that? If I had known before that you like doing this kind of stuff, I would have asked you to do it earlier.”

”MEOW”

[Okay. Now, stop bothering me, could you?  I'm busy, can't you see?]

Janus said without lifting his head from the book that he was reading. His eyes never left the pages of the book even once.

Whenever Mu Lingxi asked him a question, he will just give her short responses.

”Err??? What's with him today???”

Mu Lingxi asked herself in confusion. She can't help but wonder what had gotten to him this day? This is so unlike him.

”Did he eat something weird this morning????”

But when she turned her head on the other side of the library, she finally got the answer to her question.

It is not that Janus ate something unusual today, nor he was being a bookworm or something.

Most likely, there had been some silent competition happening between her two pets. Because apparently, Guinevere is acting no different from Janus.

She was also flipping through the pages of the books at an amazing speed!

She even had a tight frown on her cute fluffy white face as she read the books.
