Chapter 497 Visiting College Library
A figure shrouded in shadows moved through the corridors of the college. He appeared in a quiet place and turned into a human figure.
He had short silver hair and purple eyes. His eyes moved around to check if there was someone before he started moving.
He looked at the crowded street and bypassed it. He kept walking, only stopping after appearing before a huge building.
It was like a giant tower; the only change was that not only was it tall, but its width was also impressive.
Big stones were used in creating this structure. It was painted white with a black border. It created a pattern that made it look like a brick wall.
He entered this structure. He moved inside and found himself in a broad structure. There were no bookshelves at the entrance, but as he moved forward, he saw multiple halls.
Instead of rushing directly, he stopped and observed the area. He could see many plants planted in pots and benches near them.
This appeared to be the central part of the library; on the right were stairs going to the next floor.
As he moved around, his eyes fell on the random computers placed in the corners. There were also some vending machines with various items.
Then, he observed other students there; his eyes fell on a boy and a girl. They approached the computer and typed something.
After some time, they left that area. He approached that PC and looked at it. On it, a window was opened with the library written in the center and a search bar just below it.
He could see your book message at the bottom. Rishi understood how to find the book, but he didn’t know which book to find.
Not wasting a moment, a thought came to his mind. He took out his smartphone and searched online for the names of the best books about the Magic Circle.
He looked at the top ones and typed their names.
[Basics of Magic Circles, by Anderson Smith]
The moment he clicked, multiple results came, and he clicked on the book he was searching for.
As soon as he did, he found its location.
Hall no. 2, Row no. 34 A
Not wasting any time, he searched for other books that he wanted. He took a picture of their location and started moving toward Hall No. 2.
All of them were in Hall No. 2. As soon as he entered Hall no. 2, he appeared in a place filled with countless shelves, all filled with different books.
He followed the instructions and searched for the row number. After finding the row, he had to find the book on five shelves.
This was easy for him; like this, he quickly gathered all four books he needed. After getting them, an excited expression appeared on his face, and he started leaving.
He had just crossed the small gate, which was the only entrance and exit out of the library.
‘Ring’
A small siren rang, and a red light appeared on the gate. Rishi was surprised; he found everyone looking at him.
The person sitting at the desk at the entrance approached him and asked, “Have you issued them?”
Rishi was enraged; he forgot about issuing these books. He smiled awkwardly and replied, “No.”
“Don’t worry, go to that scanning machine there and issue it using your card. Once you have issued them, you can bring them with you,” replied the man with a smile.
Rishi nodded and approached the machine, not far from the entrance. A boy was using it and issuing his books.
It worked like the ATM, only with a scanner that scanned the books.
He waited for his turn and first scanned his card. He was asked for a password. He was confused again, so he asked someone.
Somehow, he issued his books and approached the small gate. He crossed it carefully and noticed that there was no siren this time.
He sighed, and a smile appeared on his face as he left. These things were known to him.
However, he had nothing to complain about; the search feature made it very easy for him to search for the books he wanted.
Not wasting any seconds, he moved toward his room. There, he sat on his chair and started reading the books one by one.
He activated extreme focus and lost himself in reading these books. It was Friday afternoon; he had Saturday and Sunday free.
Time passed, and he kept turning pages, not wasting any time. It was very interesting for him; he never thought it would be so similar to magic runs.𝐍𝑜𝐯𝑬𝓵𝑛𝓔xt.𝚌𝗈𝚖
This made it easier for him to understand it. It was already dusk. Natural light dimmed before disappearing, but he kept reading.
He only moved after five hours; he had finished the first book. When looking at the time on his smartphone, he realized it was 10 p.m.
He screeched his body before deciding to take a break. He left his room once again and started roaming around campus.
As soon as he appeared near the canteen, he saw it was still crowded. Not many students slept early; he searched for a seat before moving to the counter to order his food.
Eating something was an excellent way to improve his mood; he relied on it many times. He was still feeling a slight headache due to reading for such an extended period without losing focus.
He had consumed a lot of mental energy, and after taking his food and a cold drink, he decided to take the seat.
Ignoring his surroundings, he started enjoying his burger. He was having fun looking at the stars and enjoying his food; the cold breeze only made it better.
It was then that he felt like something had hit him. He stopped and looked around. ‘Am I imagining things’
He turned around and looked, but was not able to notice any abnormality; he could see people sitting and chatting with each other.
The moment he turned and started eating his food again, he felt as if the wind had become faster. His drink fell from the table.
He noticed the surrounding table and noticed that everything was normal. It was then that he heard many students laughing behind him.
He turned and looked at them, but he found that they were still talking to each other.
His anger suddenly flared up; he felt like someone was targeting him. He was suspicious of the group, but he was not sure.
When the group noticed his glare, a chill ran through their backs. It was as if a terrifying creature had stared at them.
