45 Library of Mages 6 (1/2)
”So, you acknowledge that you know about the Library of Mages,” I said.
”… Fine. Let's get out of here first.” The chains wrapped around us and carried us out of the basement. ”When you asked me about the Library of Mages I wanted to ignore you, maybe you would've stopped caring. But trying to break in?! If it were anywhere else, I wouldn't care, but there?! few more steps and you would've stepped into dozens of traps that could kill you!”
”…”
”Why do you even want to get inside?!”
”There is something inside we want to read,” Emily said. She didn't seem to care that we were busted.
”God…you are not only putting yourself in danger but also me. I can see you are determined, I will only do it this one time, and this keeps quiet. So be glad! Now go back to your rooms! I will talk with you tomorrow.”
With a flash 27 and the chains disappeared. He left us standing in front of the basement, not saying much we went back to our rooms. The next day started the same as usual, but after the first class 27 asked us to stay behind.
Out of nowhere he took out dozens of books and separated them into two piles. ”This pile is for you Emily. Exams are in a month you have to pass at least one if you don't want trouble. Same goes for you, Dominque.”
”You want us to pass exams that need four years to prepare?” I said. I may be smart, but that was too much.
”Like I said. You only need to pass one exam. Then I will think about telling you something on the Library.” 27 said, it didn't look like he was willing to bargain, so I grabbed the books and left with Emily. We went to the cafeteria and got something to eat sitting there we talked about the options we had. Midway through our conversation, Travis showed up.
”Can I sit with you?” he asked. ”My team will join in a bit if you don't mind.
”Sure.”
Madison, Hannah, and Isabella joined us a few minutes later. Isabella was bright and nice as before. Madison kept ignoring everyone, and Hannah looked as arrogant as before. ”You still eat like a monster,” Travis said while looking at my food. Ever since I started to grow my soul the normal way again, my appetite increased to a crazy level.
”Well, at least I don't need to pay for food here.”
