Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Hina’s discovery.

After separating herself from her close aides, Hina alone walked in the hallway that led her to the grand library, the place where the students sought knowledge and tranquility. The hallway was bustling with silent mouths where many students beside her also had the same purpose as her: to go to the library.

However, some of them were going as a pair, which made her feel a bit lonely because of the absence of the two of them, Soma, who always accompanied her, and Xiao Lian, whom she could express her thoughts freely beside Soma.

"I wonder what those two are doing right now".

Hina, who slightly missed their appearance, stopped in her tracks, inviting a curious gaze from other students. She turned her eyes to the side where there was a window beside her, beyond the transparent barrier that separates herself from the outside world. Hina saw the transition of the sky that soon would turn blackened.

She shook her head to the sides and noticed that the bustling hallway had turned deserted. Then she resumed the walk and never looked back again.

A few minutes passed, and finally, Hina arrived at the grand library entrance door, which was luckily opened because the person inside wanted to get out.

With a silent whisper from the gust of wind that entered the inside of the library, giving it some air to freshen the room, a pair of students, a male and a female, walked proudly while interlocking their hands as they noticed Hina's figure before they smiled at her.

"Where do you want to go next?". Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Hmm, I want to read the book today, so…".

The two seniors, which Hina assumes as a couple, walked away from the library as the male was leading her from in front while the female was holding a thick book in her other hand. Hina, who saw that scene, chuckled as her thoughts began to wander toward a certain boy who was always doing the same thing to her.

"Ah, forget about it, let's enter!".

Before Hina's thoughts escalated further, she entered the library and closed the door quietly so as not to make the other notice her appearance.

After visiting the library several times, Hina began to understand some of the structure based on it.

On the first floor, there are many bookshelves that are filled to the brim with books, fiction, grimoire, and many more. Also, the content that was shown in the books from the first floor was some basic knowledge that covered only a subject between beginner and intermediate subjects.

Suppose there is someone who wants to assess the knowledge that contains an advanced subject inside the library. First and foremost, they must be renowned and have a good reputation from the school, plus permission from the academy's principal to visit the second floor.

That was the place where the advanced knowledge or subject and from the rumor, there is a rank behind advance slumbering on it waiting for someone to open it.

Hina, who was already used to the interior, began to maneuver easily until she arrived at one of the bookshelves with the Letter H written on it. She scans the grimoire she wants to seek and learn, sliding her gaze to the side before she spots the grimoire she wants. Hina took it in her hands before taking other grimoires or books to deepen her knowledge.

"Lucky for me, the seat was empty".

In the corner of the library room, there is a single-seater Sofa, which Hina remembered very well because this place was Soma's usual sitting place if he came to the library.

Hina patted the cushion on the sofa before sitting on top of it, letting her body absorb the springy texture. She put aside the other books she wanted to read and focused her attention on the grimoire in her hands.

The Grimoire was a book that contained information from a spell that was written by the magic tower as per the agreement from the wizard who invented the spell. Hina is one of the people who aspire to become a renowned wizard by creating her own original magic, the same as her mother, and because of that, she is joining a magic creation club in the academy.

Hina flipped the book cover and welcomed the introduction of the book. She began to continuously flip the pages as she began to recall what page the last time she read.

"Not this. Not here. Where is it? …Ah, I remember this. I finally caught up".

After finding the page she was looking for, Hina took out a notebook and a mechanical pencil from her storage and started to immerse herself in reading, storing much information that she deemed helpful for her future reference.

The grimoire contained information about fire spells, which was Hina's specialty, and a lot of them were spells that were created for attacking purposes.

An attack was indeed a formidable option in the time of battle, but the one Hina was looking for was the opposite. She was looking for a spell that could help herself or her friend around her.

Hina, specifically, is searching for a spell that will give her the power to protect like a barrier or an enhanced boost of agility to increase her chance to flee from a strong monster that is way above her leagues.

However, that doesn't mean Hina skipped any of the knowledge regarding the attacking spell. She busied her hands to copy the text into the notebook she prepared, and Hina always stored the attacking spell she thought could benefit her as a Versatile combatant.

"...All of them are attack spells. Hm?!".

A single page drew her eyes as it was different from the other spell Hina had copied toward her notebook. Her lips parted ways, showing her white teeth, and her heart pumped with energy because the spell she was looking for was finally within her grasp.

"Finally, I found it".

As Hina was engrossed in her reading and copying the book, a Librarian committee approached her seat, casting a looming shadow that distracted her focus.

"Excuse me".

"Yes…?!".

Hina turned her attention and saw the person who greeted her suddenly turned stiff because she knew the person in front of her well. She is a beautiful female senior who radiates an adult charm, casting her soft, curved lips on her.

However, Hina, who recalled Soma's expression when he was dealing with the person before her, vividly recalled it in her brain.

"The library is almost closed for the day. I am sorry, but you must tidy your belongings and the books you take, or if you want, you can borrow your unfinished book to be brought home…".

"Um, No thanks. I will leave this place after tidying my belongings. Thank you for the reminder".

"No, it is my duty as a committee member. By the way, You are alone today?".

Mary, who expanded the conversation, made Hina, who was holding the book from the library, halt in her tracks. Hina knitted her brows as she began to feel uncomfortable because of the probing question she threw at her.

"...Yes, I am. My other friends were busy with their training. Then if you'll excuse me".

Hina's torso bent slightly as she gave Mary her respect as junior to senior before turning her back, leaving Mary alone in the library, which was unknown to her eyes. Mary was smiling deviously while looking at Hina's retreating figure.
