21 – Misunderstandings and Misunderstandings (3)

Tuesday was spent training after the theory class.

And Wednesday came.

I headed to the library after lunch.

[Identification: Cadet Ymir]

[Reservation confirmation completed.]

[Welcome to the third floor of the library.]

After checking my identity, I entered, and there were fewer people than a few days ago.

Is it because the freshman I was watching missed? It’s a good thing for me.

I started going back and forth between the bookshelves and organizing the books as before.

I started working on the previous achievement again.

When I organized 100 books like that, I was able to get a reward.

[Hidden Achievement: Achievement of ‘Master of Old Books 4’!]

[I got 8,000 points as an achievement reward.]

“… Also.”

It takes more time, but the reward is twice as great.

I was able to save more time by secretly using the tentacle in the blind spot of CCTV.

Should I do some more?

“… ….”

How much time had passed like that?

I was concentrating on arranging my books for a while when an announcement came on.

[There is one hour left until the library closes. For library users, please take care of your belongings and prepare to leave.]

It seems that quite a bit of time has already passed.

“Whoa.”

That’s it for today. I did enough though.

The next time you drop by, you’ll be rewarded in no time.

I was just taking a breather thinking about that.

Something fell between the cracks in the books I was organizing.

I quickly caught something that fell.

After using the void tentacles to pull it out, it was a note with a strange language written on it.

“… What is this?”

I took a closer look at the note and realized it right away.

Ah, this is a secret note.

In the academy, the center of magic engineering and high-tech industry, there are always spies such as industrial spies, guild scouts, and mines, befitting its prestige.

Those who infiltrated the academy always prepared for the day their identity was revealed, and there were cases where they exchanged information with each other in the old way instead of electronic equipment that could easily be discovered.

In other words, by inserting a note into a specific book and exchanging information among themselves.

Unfortunately, this note seems to be a trace of that.

“… ….”

Seeing the traces that I only read through the settings is actually strange and strange.

“… Are there more like this?”

Intrigued, I opened the book and looked for more notes.

If the secret note is correct, it may be of great help in some way.

But, of course, the note didn’t come out anymore.

It must be more strange to find a note in this large library. No, you’re lucky.

“… Oh, let’s quit. I just lost my strength.”

I stopped searching for the note and started deciphering it instead. There was nothing difficult. Because you can use Mastery.

When I deciphered it until my head was spinning, 10 letters with a combination of letters and numbers came out.

What kind of password is that?

As I pondered, I was able to guess the meaning of the letters.

“No way… Book reference number… ?”

[Sam 81148 Volume 74 heh]

The prediction seemed correct.

I headed to the place where the book was stuck.

It is not far from here, a CCTV blind spot.

That side was also a blind spot for CCTV.

“… ?”

But the place where the book should have been placed was empty.

Somehow, I lost steam and laughed dejectedly, but when I thought about it, something came to mind.

I realized it belatedly.

“Uh.”

Here is this empty bookshelf… , This is where the old book of the imprint was placed.

I was sure. It was the place where the book of mastery was placed.

I used the book because I engraved it, so it’s bound to be empty.

“… Hmm.”

What does this mean?

I thought it through and got out of the library in time for closing time.

Today is the day when the new students of the reading circle are called. Time is running out for dinner.

* * *

“…… What.”

Lee Jin-chang, a hero belonging to the Association, was following and monitoring Ymir.

A person who single-handedly put to rest the bloodshed that occurred during the war practice.

It’s because I was curious about the appearance of a new comet like Choi Ji-seong.

The last time I visited the library, the monitoring failed because I couldn’t make a reservation in advance, but this time I made a reservation and was able to monitor it.

As soon as he figured out the situation of Ymir’s third-floor library reservation, he immediately set the date and made a fourth-floor reservation. As a member of the Hero Association, he was easily denied permission to use the library.

And I was observing it secretly from the terrace upstairs, so as not to be seen.

“… Whoa.”

At first, I thought he was an amazing cadet when I saw him busy organizing books. To think that librarians do what librarians should be doing at such unpaid service. Isn’t he a good student, which is rare in this day and age?

“… What?”

But when I saw him reaching out into the air, I couldn’t help but wonder. Every time he stretched out his hand, books floated up in the air and stuck to the bookshelf.

… Telekinesis magic?

No, no. I can feel the magic, but its nature is different. Something more shady and unsettling….

I didn’t notice that Jinchang Lee was organizing books with Mine’s equipment. This is because the use is too out of common common sense.

But that action alone is enough to make me suspicious. It’s a situation that has far exceeded the level of an ordinary cadet.

A magic that even he, the hero of the association, cannot comprehend….

“… ….”

At that time, Ymir picked up a note from a certain bookshelf, and after a few rounds of books, he read the note and moved to another bookshelf. Lee Jin-chang saw it and made a decision.

“A scout secretly dispatched by the guild… Or, criminals hiding from other organizations.”

Seeing that information is exchanged by direct message, it is clear. Scout or villain. Either way is a criminal offense. Needless to say, contacting the cadets of the guild in advance is also an offense. Worst case scenario, it could be Mine.

… Shall we summon him and investigate?

From noble mtl dot com

It was about time I made that decision and stood up from my seat.

“What are you doing, you?”

I could feel the popularity. Jinchang Lee turned his head. Park Dae-sik, the dog of hell, was standing there.

“It’s been a while. Hell dog.”

“It’s been a while. I asked what are you doing here.”

“There is a suspicious cadet.”

“A suspicious cadet?”

Jinchang Lee pointed at Ymir. Park Dae-shik, who followed his finger, narrowed his forehead.

“What is he?”

“Anyway, he looks like a guild scout or a villain.”

“What nonsense.”

“We just exchanged dirty words. He took out a note from the bookshelf, read it, and moved to another place.”

Park Dae-sik’s expression twisted into a stern expression.

“You are talking bullsh*t. It is my duty to hunt down criminals. You are just camouflage.”

“Even if the bastard speaks….”

“And my nose is talking. He’s a regular cadet. Can’t you see I’m packing up my books now?”

“… ….”

Jinchang Lee scratched the back of his neck for nothing. Park Dae-shik is right. It is Park Dae-sik’s mission to find the criminal. He himself is just a camouflage color to disturb the eyes of the offender.

“… Anyway, I let you know.”

“Damn it. My nose doesn’t even react, but I’m going wrong.”

“… Hmm.”

Lee Jin-chang thought as he passed by Park Dae-shik.

Certainly, there is only one person with better senses than Park Dae-shik, the dog of hell.

The president of this academy and a living, breathing history.

The immortal saint, Kang Yoo-han.

If it wasn’t for Daesik Park… I guess I was wrong too.

“Stop talking nonsense and get out of my mission area.”

“Okay, sorry. Good job.”

Jinchang Lee thought as he left the library.

But… Also award winning

* * *

He finished his meal with cup noodles from a convenience store and headed to the activity room of the reading circle.

I forgot about the note and was walking thinking about future problems, but I saw a familiar back of the head in front of me.

It was Mo Yeji.

“… ….”

Mo Yeji didn’t spot me and she continued walking and then turned around and stopped in front of an activity room.

She took a deep breath, as if she had suddenly become nervous, and then she entered the activity room.

“… Uh.”

I realized it belatedly.

That the place she entered was the activity room of the reading circle.

“… What.”

Originally, Mo Yeji does not join a reading circle. Because she doesn’t help her much.

But she joined a reading circle.

No, did you sign up?

Maybe it’s just a brief glimpse.

I went into the activity room, suspending my hasty judgment.

As soon as I entered, a heavy air pressed against my shoulders.

Because among a few freshmen, the two women were staring into each other’s eyes, making the atmosphere threatening.

“… ….”

You signed up.

I was convinced when I saw Mo Yeji sitting in the chair.

Suddenly, her head gets confused.

Mo Yeji obviously doesn’t join the reading circle… Why.

The only circles she joins are the hunting circle and the traveling circle.

Is my memory wrong?

At that time, two women who were having a snowball fight found me and fell into a lull.

Mo Ye-ji found me and her face stiffened slightly, while Ha Yeon-shi openly crumpled her face.

Unfortunately, the only empty seat is between Mo Ye-ji and Ha Yeon-si.

Perhaps the other kids couldn’t stand their glare.

“… ….”

I had no choice but to sit in the seat between them. Right after that, as she turned her head to say hello, Ha Yeon-si said.

“Don’t talk to me.”

Is it because of the ripple effect of ‘that statement’?

But I didn’t expect it to react so violently.

Because the girl I know is different from the outside. It is normal when she smiles and talks to her while hiding her true feelings.

At that time, a hot breath passed by my ear.

“… Hey. Am I right?”

When she turned her head, Mo Ye-ji was staring at me with a face that seemed to be looking at it.

“… ….”

I was confused by the unexpected events and couldn’t react.

Seeing my hard expression, Mo Yeji’s expression hardened as well.

She covered her lips like someone who had slipped her tongue and looked away.

How the hell is things going?

At that moment, the door to the activity room opened and a cadet appeared.

“You’ve waited a long time. Sorry. I have some work….”

I watched her with her sunken eyes, her smirk with her smirk.

Somewhere, blue hair that is called the king’s color.

As if the moonlight is young, the wave-like eyes stand out with the new leaf-like lips.

“This is Han Ga-rin, leader of the reading circle. Nice to meet you. It’s nothing else, today’s convocation is because of OT’s absence….”

She is an assassin hiding in her academy for her mission.
