23 Magical Beast Tiers (1/2)
Ultrix walked into the central library for the second time.
This time, however, he did not need to go to the hidden archives. Instead, he walked straight to the magical beasts category.
Passing by the lift, Ultrix paused momentarily and took a deep sigh.
[Ah, blast it, I want to challenge that bookshelf again, but I guess I'll have to wait for another day.] He thought to himself with some disappointment.
Walking through the magical beasts category, Ultrix quickly scanned through all of the titles.
”How to train your magical beast”, ”Taking care of your tamed beast”, ”A guide on magical beasts and how to tame them”
[Huh, that's strange,] Ultrix thought to himself, [These all seem to be taming books. Maybe I'm in the wrong category?]
Looking to the other shelves, Ultrix realized that the magical beasts section was further subdivided into general information and more specific information like care-taking, breeding, hatching, etc, etc.
Quickly making his way towards the general information section, Ultrix immediately found what he was looking for. [Ah, that's more like it!] Ultrix thought to himself. The book was titled ”An introduction to different tiers for magical beasts”
Taking a few different books from the shelf Ultrix prepared to leave the library.
Unfortunately for him, he was stopped by an artifact on the way out.
”Huh, what's this?” Ultrix cried out loud in alarm. He discovered that the artifact had completely immobilized him.
A librarian quickly walked over to him with another artifact in her hand. Assessing the situation, she turned towards Ultrix with a cold look.
”Sir, you can't walk out of here with those books. You haven't returned the ones that you took out last time yet.”
Ultrix thought hard about which books he had taken. [Oh, is she talking about the books from that bookshelf?] Ultrix thought to himself. [That's too bad, I thought those belonged to me since I had to work so hard for them.]
Turning back to the librarian, Ultrix decided to play dumb for the time being. ”I don't remember checking out any books,” Ultrix lied through his teeth.
