Was the answer to my problem so obvious?
Maybe, I was not sure about that.
This changes everything that I planned to do for the next year or so. Even though that's the case, I have no other choice but to see if this is the solution to my problem. I won't lose anything anyway.
In the kingdom, there were restrictions placed on what knowledge one could have access to and that was associated with their rank. In the academy, there was the knowledge that would be accessible to only Tier-6 and above, but as a privilege of being a student, any student can access them and I did that.
This is why I have more knowledge about this world than I should at this point.
The point is that these restrictions were placed not just because the powerful wanted to hoard all the knowledge but because the knowledge was powerful and dangerous.
What would happen if you give a match stick to a kid who has no idea about actions and consequences?
At an young, the brain wouldn't be too developed to understand what they were doing and what could happen because of their actions. They would just do as they see fit.
This is why anyone would advise people from having things that are dangerous within children's reach. That's a recipe for calamity.
It is even worse with this world's knowledge. It would be like giving a child the key to a nuke or something along the lines. If anything goes wrong, it will be a disaster.
Moreover, the control was to stop the advanced knowledge from spreading to the traitors or people with evil intent. This was what my parents told me back when I was a child and asked about the restrictions.
Though it may appear as if the higher-ups are hoarding the knowledge, they are doing it mostly for the safety of the people. if such knowledge was available to everyone, then the number of disasters that the world has to see would be too many to count or even give a shit about.
Moreover, most of the knowledge was gained due to their sacrifices or of their ancestors. So they have every right to withhold such important information.
Stupids, wait, I am side-tracking again.

Anyway, I believe that the ancients may have had the same order.
They could have kept the knowledge that was deemed dangerous from the hands of people who can only bring disaster if they have it.
The ancients were said to have progressed farther than what we have today. There is a chance that they might have tinkered with Time.
Why wouldn't they?
The term was coined as Space-Time Continuum.
There are secret realms, space storages etc...where space is the base. So I say that there is a high chance that they tinkered with Time too but as it was now, they could have classified it as Forbidden Knowledge or High-ranker knowledge.
Do you understand where I am getting at?
I think, as long as reach a certain rank, a certain amount of knowledge would be available for me. I had Nexus from the end of the first year and I was not at Tier-6 back then. It means I should have known there were restrictions but I didn't.
The reason was that the library is very large here and back then, I concentrated more on training and took slowly with reading the books.
Only after crossing Tier-6, did I see that there were certain restrictions in the library but I failed to make a connection between them.
Totally My fault.
Now, what I had to do was to rank up faster.
