Chapter 59：Buy and sell store (1/2)

”Kiko, bro, we must do something about that Toadman, we had yet to get our revenge!” Marco, who was walking beside Kiko and their friends, said in regrets. He really wanted to see that guy in a sorry state after what he did when they fought with the golems.

That's why they were delighted when Kiko finally came back. But to their surprise, their friend seemed to be acting low key. It was strange to see Kiko acting like this.

”Heh, I don't want to waste my time in garbage like him. Anyway, that person will never last long in this academy.” Kiko replied with a glint in his eye, followed by a wicked smile.

Who said that he would let that froggy go easily? After what he did to him? That guy almost killed him. That's why he made some preparations while in the hospital.

Kiko suddenly stopped on his feet and glanced on his hand and said, ”For now, let's just focus on getting stronger. I must become an ace in this academy.” He added with a smirk and a cold gaze.

”Hahaha, right, don't get too excited about that guy, Marco dude! I'm sure, Kiko dude already planned something for that Froggyman.” Bruno laughed while resting his arms on Kiko and Marco's shoulders.

”Yeah, and after that let's have a party when Kiko and Miss Almina started dating!” One of their friends shouted.

”Ahaha, sure thing!” Bruno screamed.

Kiko smiled. That was already in his plan.

They continued walking towards the barracks. When they arrived at the doorsteps. They were greeted by a solemn atmosphere.

Yet Kiko did not mind it, although his friends had puzzled expressions on their faces. They already went here and took their individual mission yesterday. And that time too many fledgling trainees were taking their mission. So they did not notice the somber aura inside the barracks.

Some junior trainees were loafing inside. Sitting on the chairs with the table in front. It was located on the left side of the door.

Suddenly, one of the people sitting in one of the chairs stood up when he noticed Kiko and his group.

”Young master, Sun,” said the person as it bowed slightly in front of Kiko.

”Abel,” Kiko called.

Abel is one of the people sponsored by the Sun family. And Kiko was a young master of the Sun family that's why. He was so respectful towards Kiko.

”Let's go to the VIP room, Young master,” Abel said, to which Kiko replied with a nod.

Marco, Bruno, and the others had an understanding look on their faces. They could only wait for Kiko as the two of them went to the VIP room to talk for something important.

Around this time, Yman was searching for the book about Mana Channeling. Yet it's already 15 minutes of searching but he could not find it.

The library here was bigger than the public library in Sitona Town. But the books here are well-arranged on the bookshelf with their names in alphabetical order.

Yman tried to change the order of searching from Channeling, Mana Channeling, Magic Channeling, Ability Channeling, or Talent Channeling. However, he could not find it.

He went to the librarian's desk and asked the nerd looking girl. Probably a bookworm person. She was reading a book with reading glasses on her eyes. In front of her was a pile of old books, amassing on top of the table.

”Uh, Miss,” Yman called out but the girl seemed to be unbothered.

She was having shoulder-length brown curly hair and a white headband. Like him, she also was wearing the uniform of Middle Region Magic Academy. Seemingly a trainee as well.

However, she looks a little older than him. He believed that the girl was a junior trainee. Although she looks cute and timid.

”Uh, Miss!” Yman purposely increased the volume of his voice and succeeded in attracting her attention.

The girl seemed to be surprised to see a person in front of her. She was deep into reading the book in her hand that she lost connection in her surroundings.

And now, suddenly there's a thin-looking person in front of her which she assumed was a newbie.

She pushed her eyeglasses and fixed her sitting position.

”Y-You need some help?” She asked shyly.

”Yes, about a book for Mana Channeling.” Yman directly told her what he was looking for.

He noticed the librarian girl stared at him with doubt. Probably, it was the most unexpected thing to happen that someone would be looking for such a book such as Mana Channeling.

”A-A Book For Channeling Mana? Uh — wait...” she said and took a journal book. Then she scanned it.

”Shelf number 21,” she said after a minute.

”Hmm... that 's weird,” Yman said while scratching the back of his head.

”Why?” The librarian girl asked.

”I already searched all the shelves but I could not find that book,” Yman said dejectedly.

”I-Is that so? Uhm — erm... give me a second.” The librarian girl took another journal and flipped over the pages.

After several seconds of waiting, the girl knitted her brows in bewilderment, then she looked at him and said, ”S-Sorry, that book — someone borrowed it, and had yet turned-over.” The librarian girl said while shyly scratching her face.

”S-Someone borrowed it?” He repeatedly asked.

”Y-Yes.” The girl nodded.

”Uhm, may I know who the borrower was?” He asked her. Not willing to give up. He needed that book. For his guidance in understanding about his mana channeling talent.

But what the girl's reply stunned him for a second, ”Hmm... I-I advised you to give up looking at that book.”

”.....”
