Whoosh!

David’s eyes widened as he saw a figure swish past his head 20 meters aways in the skies with speed. 

Astonished, David gazed upwards an his narrowed his eyes incredibly hard. The person appeared to be berh young, around his age whuch made David even more sceptical simply because even he was barely able it fly properly without his wings. 

Floating in the air was certainly no problem for him but propelling himself at such speed would prove difficult for him to perform. 

As he squinted his eyes, his pupils cinstrict d and he could see everything ng about the person. ‘is that…’

“A flying blade?” David couldn’t help but his immensely shocked by this. There was certainly somthing underneath that person’s feet and it was definitely a flying blade..

‘So it wasn’t that the person was flying with his or her strength, the person is using her connection with the blade to move herself with.’

This was the conclusion David had come up with. But to this, ones mental energy needed to be very strong, strong enough to withstand one’s weight for a really good period of time without exhausting one’s self.

As for whsne he would get there, there was still a long way for him t in go before he reached that particular level.

David sighed at the power and strangeness of mental energy practitionals. The could kill at a distance without having to move a finger and although their bodies tend to be weak, their strength with a flying blade surpasses even a Spryher one’s they got the hang of their blade with a situable technique.

His eyes then shone with determination, one day he would reach that level and possibly surpass that level… With his mental energy. 

Shaking his head to get rid of those thoughts, David continued in his way to the library and when he got there, he saw several people walking in and out from the library. And from their uniforms, they seem to be the same as him, newly admitted students that came to pick up a Training manual and a Technique. 

Walking into the library, he pordoeved his badge to the old man sitting by the counter which was then scanned. 

“Go in and select a situable manual. When you gone back, your students badge will be given back to you.” The old man said with his eyes closed as he waved him off. 

David nodded his head and was about to leave when the old man continued. “Do not go overboard by selecting a technique that’s incredibly difficult as that might be detrimental to you instead! And oh, be warned, there shall be no fighting within the library.”

“You can now go.”𝐧𝑶𝐯𝗲𝓁𝑛𝐞xt.𝑪𝔬𝗆

The old man said to David, and David said his thanks as he left for the deeper parts of the library. According to the the Oldman’s discription. 

The library was an important ground in the academy, it had a collections of different mental skills collected over hundreds of years. They were used to help those of new students get in turned with their mental energy and able to use them properly. 

Usually, an academy’s number and quality of mental martial arts determined how strong the school would be. There are others schools without even a single training manual or arts to use. 

The mental arts library was divided into 3 floors.

In the first floor there was a large quantity of mental arts, but most of them were low ranked, with a few middle ranked ones there as well.

The second floor apparently had the academy’s secret and traditional techniques. Most of them were of the high rank, there were even some peak ranked ones there!

However, to enter the second floor one needed one to be at least at the peak Earth level

And the 3rd floor was just a rumour, as it had never been opened….

However, for David, the 2nd and 3rd floors were just too far away, even the 1st floor’s mental arts were something that he yearned for.

He had no background within the academy, and a person with no background or exceptional talent could not access higher ranked martial arts. The supersensory technique he had was only a core rank training art, and it was even weaker than a low ranked training art.

However, after breaking through to the mortal level of the mental path, he had the right to enter the 1st floor and choose a mental art and a training manual. 

David stepped into the first floor, his breathing quickening.

At the first floor, he could see a few other students, but all of them were using their time to choose their own mental art skills.

According to the rules, those that entered the arts library only had half an hour to select.

So everyone that entered the arts library didn’t waste any time and gut directly to business.

“I’ve got half an hour and I need to choose a middle rank mental art, or two low ranked mental arts, and a training art.

David took a deep breath, and scanned along the bookshelves.

The 1st floor of the mental arts library had several thousand books, and every book was half an inch thick. To find one or two mental arts from such a high amount was not easy.

“Boulder Smashing Strike, Fury Packed Thrust, Leaf Picking Sword, Air like foot…”

Different kinds of mental art skills made David’s eyes turn colourful.

Shuah! Shuah! …..

He flipped the pages of these mental art skills quickly to the 1st page.

These mental arts usually had their summaries on the first page.

Crazy Wing Blade Blade like the wind, powerful like lightning, uses speed to win. Minimum requirement is , to train this skill is initial-Mortal Stage at average. Rank: Low.

Fury Packed Thrust Can increase the strength of the user, can put all the power into one single attack. Minimum requirement is mid-mortal rank of the mental path, to train this skill is quite hard. Rank: Peak of the Middle rank.

Air like foot A close combat skill which uses speed to win. When trained to fullest potential, can fight against many people and not lose. Minimum requirements is Initial-Mortal level stage, but needs high level of understanding. Rank: Middle.

Sword Cocoon: Increases the defence of the body. Under fully activation can go head to head with same rank opponent. Someone who can train it to a high level can use their body and fight against swords. Minimum requirements is mid-rank of the mental path and needs high level of will power. Rank: Middle.

……

“The mental arts library’s skills are stronger than the core ranked skills by far, just as expected…..”

David was extremely pleased, and the skills he saw were mainly middle rank one, stronger than the beginner training manual he had been given during his day’s as a servant. 

After only looking through tens of books, his heart had already been moved several times.

However, the mental arts library had restrictions. He could only take out 1 middle rank mental art and 1 middle ranked training art. 

If I could only take out a few then that would be great…..

David felt unwilling and thought it was unfair, “Normal students can only choose one middle mental art whereas the main student can choose two.”

To increase his speed in choosing, David started using his brain to his full capacity.

With the increase in ability, his speed increased more than 10 times….

Shuah shuah shuah …..

David’s eye used an incredible speed to look through these martial arts.

He only needed one look to understand it all.

Looking at over thirty books, David had fully memorised the contents of them and compared them with one another.

When he had scanned over 50, David suddenly realised something….

Not right!

He suddenly froze.

He went back to his memories of other books.

In his mind the contents of the book’s appeared and not a single word was wrong.

“This…..”

David felt himself tremble with excitement.

After coming to this world, his memory had increased as well, it could be said that he only needed to look at something once and would never forget it.

Especially when he tries very hard, the contents of the books were as if they were burned into his mind.

David never thought that he would be able to put it to good use over here and wondered why the academy didn’t think there would be people with abilities like his. 

There were many rumours about geniuses on Azure Continent, and the retentive was one of the attributes they had…

However, retentive memory for most people was that their memory was good, they only needed to read it once and would remember 80-90 percent of the contents.

However, compared with David’s ability to not forget, his was clearly much stronger; he was literally not able to forget.

With this power, at the mental arts library, it meant that David could take a “few more” books out!
