[Eon's POV: ]
She was shocked and the look in her eyes was quite a sight. Rein would have loved seeing this if she was here but just like how we were training, she was making her house complete so certain assignnts forcefully or they would be punished with the cleaning work of the entire house facility.
Her image within her house was that of a ruthless leader who was stronger than all of them, and, at the sa ti, smart and more than enough qualified one to be right in any and all the things that she would do.
She had defeated the house captain of the first-ranking house so, she was obviously soone they couldn't possibly go up against. And, she had dominated the whole house area on the first day she had gathered every one of them, so, they all knew it was better to just do the impossible even at the cost of anything they possessed instead of going on her bad side.
So, she was doing her work, doing what she can for at least the second place among the other houses since I had claid I would try winning the whole damn competition.
She knew everyone did actually, that if one of the house teams did actually win the competition this year, then there would be no need to even debate over that that house would instantly attain the current top spot in the house rankings.
'Stopping our montum after that would be a task that even I want to know how they all tackle, but, I knew all of the house captains closely, and none of them were soone that would, ever, and I do an it, ever, want to lose against anyone without giving anything they can or even deploying underhanded tactics.'
I wanted to see just how Prince Alph leads his house and cos out of the shell to snatch the pray that would get too close to them. I wanted to see just how Captain Alpha employed his otherworldly deduction abilities to get what he wanted and maintain the unfathomable first rank of the house he was the leader of.
I want to see just how Chry helps his captain win against my assault when it cos to the gas, I want to see how Carla and Quin challenge during the alchemy competition, I want to see just how my dear darling goes about this whole ordeal and gives a hard ti, and, I also want to see just how my two cute lady friends, Titania and Lizzy, uses the resources and personal at their disposal to defeat when it will co to all kinds of extra activities.
'Things will be fun going forward however, the start of my assault will start at the alchemy competition, and, when we, by the blessing of fate, do win the competition, they will have to start their counterattack strategies as well since not long after the alchemy competition, it will be ti for the very first selections for the inter academy competitions that will take place in the Roxana empire's capital, our second ho.'
It will be one of the grandest events of the year and, since it is a five-year competition that will coincidentally happen right before the winter breaks, things will get even more spicy.
[[ Hehe, master is excited while this pretty friend Mia is staring at you with wide open mouth~. At least reply to her master, hehehe~. ]]
Right. I almost forgot about this whole thing before for a mont and zoned out.
"Ahem. So, yes. I believe you recognize this to-"
"Why do you have a book that's only allowed to the teachers of people with that kind of authority?! Did they make so kind of special exception since you are so special, captain?! But how could it explain you having one of the most precious books of the eternal library of ti?!"
"Oho, I think there's a misunderstanding here, Miss Mia."
She was too agitated, anxious, and worried as well.
I can tell she was thinking of so wired things like how I might have stolen this book or sothing like that, which is an absurd thought in the first place since just like our tike library of the great forest, the books of the eternal library of the academy also could not be taken out by the permission of the greatest authority of the library… who, actually, is an entity that not even the headmaster has ever t.
'They are, just like the ancient oak tree of our academy, one of the main guardians who have been present here for a great long ti, and soone who manages a library that hides countless secrets that are yet to be found out by anyone.'
It is a library that even my master used to prise greatly, saying she got the idea of the creation of our tower library after she saw the eternal library of the academy, which was a combined creation of the founders of the academy, just like Sir Ques.
'The library of ti hides many things and I do want to visit there as soon as I can, but, in all the past week that I have been here, I was too busy to even sit foot in it.
Haaa…'
And, since I haven't even visited the library yet, even though I do possess a special clearance as well as the key to the secret rooms of the library especially given by Sir rlin, there is no way the book before them would be the one that is present in the library.
"This is another one of the original books that I obtained in exchange for an enormous amount of resources. And, though I will not reveal how I have this, I will say that this is not the sa book as the one present in the library so, there is no need to worry unnecessarily, Miss Mia."
The look of shock and confusion on her face beca even more intense and, so of the students around us noticed this new kind of expression that she was making, and, gathered around us while so even took a photo of her surprised look and instantly uploaded it on the general forums of the academy.
People will be surpassed to see how the one known as the Alchemist of Silver was also capable of making a face of that kind.
'She looks quite… pretty though. Pretty funny as well, hehe.'
The others in our group were all surprised why this whole thing was even happening in the first place, and why she had that kind of reaction.
They did not know what the book that I had just taken out was, however, they knew that it was no ordinary magic to. There was most certainly sothing special about it that could even make a person like her have an expression like that one.
So were very curious about this, so, they opened the data bank of our house, the one that I created and the one that possessed a shit tone of information about a shit tone of things, and, they tried searching about the book on the table.
And, the results that got…
"Ohhhh! That's the [Book of Alchemy: True knowledge of perception and inference]! One of the famous books that is said to possess the power to encode all of its information into soone else's mind!"
"Wowowow! Isn't that one of the books in the restricted section of the library!? How does the captain have sothing like that?!"
"It is said that one could absorb the knowledge of that book and ember it forever! Wow~!"
"Captain! How do you have that book?! How did you get it in the first place?!"
There were questions coming from all around us… why were there questions coming at when the only thing I should be hearing right now was their screams of pain from the training?
"Everyone. Is everyone who just spoke up done with their assignnt for today? Should I co to check?"
Zoe spoke up with a little Maan behind her voice, and, for the first ti since they had t her, they felt the serious version of my Zoe that, was not sothing even I like to face on a good day like this one.
"Ah! Sorry, captain!"
Everyone that had gathered around us instead of continuing their training dispersed and went back to their positions and continued with the training, and, also, thanks to Zoe's pretty but dangerous serious voice, Miss Mia ca back to her senses.
"Captain Lucifer."
And then, she looked at with her own serious look, directly in the eye.
"I know there's no rule against using a precious magic to like this one to gain an advantage over others, however, do we actually need this? Can't we like…"
"Take a more traditional approach and do the self-srudying? Yeah, sure. We can do that actually, but, is there really any need to do so?
Five of you don't actually continue with the field of Alchemy, three will go to so different field that's better suited for them, and you and two more continue with the field of Alchemy, of course, however, the rest practically have no need for the burden of learning sothing in detail and waste their ti in the process, no?
We have sothing we can use, it will be a good enough ntal training in itself for your future, and, for what I will be teaching you all next, the necessity of a complete absorption of all the knowledge of this book is a must.
If we don't do it like this… you will not be able to understand the [Epistemology of Lilanka] civilization or the [Alchemical techniques of Charvikk] school of ancient alchemy.
I know you would love to learn sothing like that, however, the others will not either understand even a third of it with their knowledge or learn a single aspect of what I want to teach you all.
Therefore, yes. We do need to do it like this.
I suggest you go with the flow and enjoy everything you can instead of being so skeptical, Miss Mia."
I gave her a smile.
A little pretty smile.
And, it evoked a little smile from her as well.
Although, this smile contained a rare excitent of her deep consciousness that, she usually hides from everyone around her…
