Truth be told, the little girl did not wake up even after Baiyi had completed the full body checkup. She was already exhausted during the day, so even without the extra structure of the dream, she would not have been awakened by such a subtle movement of Psychic Energy.
"What's the result?" Many of the Voidwalkers who were focused on serious matters asked in unison.
"There's nothing special about her. It's just that her body is very adaptable to the Void Energy. That should be the reason why she's different from everyone else," Baiyi replied. Baiyi replied, "That brings us both good news and bad news. The good news is that she should be able to comprehend our power very well, which will be very helpful to her in the future. All we need to do is to give her some time to calm down and accept this power that is not tolerated by the world." He paused for a moment before he continued with the bad news, "That's right.
"The bad news is that I'm afraid there are not many people who have the same innate talent as her. Our search will not be easy."
To find a second person who has such a rare physique among hundreds of realms, big and small, would not be easy. But if it was something that even the Voidwalkers could not do, then no one else would be able to do it.
"Looking for a second qualified person is a long-term plan. There's no need to rush for now. Right now, you still need to consolidate your strength first." The Archmage said solemnly, "Other than waiting patiently for Mia's strength to improve, we also need to have some other plans."
What he said made sense, but why did it sound so wrong? Why does it sound like we're looking for a giant robot pilot? Baiyi thought to himself and replied, "I'll go to the library tomorrow to collect some information. Let's see what I can find."
"While you're at it, take a look at the latest academic journals. I want to know the current progress of the theoretical research. There must be such things in the library of the Celestial Fortress Academy," A Walker with the codename Scholar reminded.
The next morning, Baiyi told Mia about his schedule. While Mia was combing her ponytail, she said, "If Mr. Hope wants to go to the library, I'll have to accompany him. I'll have to ask for a leave of absence. Shall we go and meet our lecturer first? We can also ask her about the results of yesterday's appraisal. "
Just like that, Mia led Baiyi through a series of elegant alleys, passing by students who were rushing to their classes. Finally, they arrived at an office in the academic building. Inside the office sat Mia, who looked like a class teacher.
While Mia was busy explaining the situation to the lecturer, Baiyi asked the Apprentice in his mind, Do you know this teacher?
"Nila, one of my former students. She's a very serious and dedicated child. I didn't expect her to return to the academy to be a teacher," the apprentice commented.
That was all the evaluation? It seemed that this serious-looking teacher was not very outstanding in the past, so much so that he only left such an impression on the apprentice.
The briefing ended quickly. "Well, that's the gist of the situation," Mia said.
"Thank you, Mia. And congratulations to you for getting yourself a reliable partner and teacher," Baiyi said. A warm smile appeared on Nila's face as she continued to say, "Yesterday, I heard from the appraisal teachers that one of our students had gotten the best appraisal result. I just didn't expect it to be my student. I will urge the academy to implement the subsidy as soon as possible."
Those words made Mia jump up in surprise, her pair of cute ponytails bouncing up and down. Looking at her teacher in surprise, she asked, "We're the ones who got the best appraisal result?"
"Are you surprised? With Master Hope's strength, isn't it normal for you to get such a result? " Nila said as she flashed a polite smile at Baiyi. At the same time, she stood up and gave a slight bow before saying respectfully, "Welcome to the Celestial Fortress Academy, Master Hope."
Baiyi did not say a word. Instead, he made a strange gesture with his left hand and placed it on his right shoulder, a standard sorcerer's salute. "Your student sure knows how to be polite," Baiyi praised in his mind. He was very satisfied with her gesture.
"Of course! Not only are the students who graduated from the Celestial Fortress Academy impeccable in terms of strength, their etiquette is also impeccable," the Apprentice said proudly. The Apprentice said proudly. It seemed like he was quite happy that his former student had received Baiyi's recognition.
Both of them had a pleasant conversation so naturally, Mia's request for a leave of absence was not rejected. The two figures, one big and one small, immediately headed to the library of the Celestial Fortress Academy. It was a two-story building with a spacious area that was comparable to the modern libraries on Earth. Even during class time, there were many students in uniform walking in and out of the library with books in their arms.
On the top of the main entrance of the library, there was a paragraph of words written in golden magic: 'Only knowledge is the true treasure'. It was said that it was written by the first president of the Celestial Fortress Academy. After hundreds of years of continuous renovation and expansion, the library was now the largest library in the realm of Isythre.
"That makes sense. I wonder what happened to the president after that? Did he become a Soul Armature like me and continue living? "Baiyi suddenly asked.
"He wasn't that lucky," the Lich replied. The Lich chimed in. "I don't know what he was thinking about in his later years, but he refused to retire. Instead, he participated in the operation to annihilate me … In the end, he died under my soul curse and his soul was destroyed. Hehe, what a hilarious yet tragic ending …"
Hearing the Lich boasting about his battle record, the Apprentice immediately retorted indignantly, "But I still managed to send you into the Void Prison, Demigod Lich Desifer. You are not the victor!"
"Hehe, little guy, are you upset? Thinking of avenging your ancestors when you get out of here? You're welcome anytime. In my opinion, there's not much difference between you and Mia … "
Seeing that the two of them were about to get into a heated argument, Baiyi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He should not have asked that question, so he quickly tried to change the topic, "Alright, alright, this is not the time to talk about this. Hey! Look! Isn't that the beauty that we met yesterday? "
The extraordinarily beautiful girl that he met yesterday had also come to the library. She was just a few meters away from him. Baiyi looked at her waist-length golden hair that swayed gently as she walked. Her slender legs that were wearing white silk stockings were moving at a fixed pace, accentuating her elegant and calm temperament. Naturally, she attracted the attention of the passersby.
Even Mia was staring at the beautiful silhouette in a daze. Her mouth was slightly agape as if she wanted to say something but in the end, she lowered her head silently until the girl disappeared from her sight.
However, that did not stop the Voidwalkers from continuing their discussion. Perhaps it was because the amazement from yesterday had faded away or perhaps it was because Baiyi did not want to have anything to do with them, the Lich and the Apprentice were getting more and more heated. They even started to use all kinds of vulgar language to greet each other's immediate family members. Left with no choice, Baiyi used his own power to surround the consciousness of both of them so that they could not communicate their thoughts. It was as if they had been muted. Only then did the crowd finally calm down.
From this, it could be seen that Earth's culture was quite important to this group of people. If it was not for the buffer zone, who knew what kind of quarrel they would have had.
When Baiyi turned around, Mia had already controlled her emotions and did not show any signs of abnormality. Following Baiyi into the library, she smiled sweetly and asked, "What kind of books would you like to read, Mr. Hope? I'll get them for you. "
"The academic journals published by the Association of General Sorcerers," Baiyi replied. That's the most important one. If you're interested in other things, geography and biographies are also fine. Not only Isythre, but the other big realms like Marle and Gouve are also fine too. Let's split up and look for them. "Having said that, he turned around and left, diving into the sea of books.
"Err …" Mia's reaction was a little awkward. She did not expect Baiyi to be interested in those kind of things. Those were all books that she had never even heard of before. Compared to the other knowledge books, the ones that she was currently reading were more related to magic.
In the end, Mia went around looking for the books that Baiyi wanted. She did not know where to start. By the time Baiyi came back with a huge pile of thick books, her hands were still empty.
Baiyi was not angry at all. Instead, he asked calmly, "You didn't find the academic journals? I looked around but I didn't see any. "
Phew … Mia breathed a sigh of relief that she was not scolded. Quickly, she raised her head and said, "I've asked the librarian. They said that the journals are placed on the second floor."
"Oh? Let's go to the second floor then. " With a huge pile of books in his arms, Baiyi was about to head to the second floor when he was pulled back by Mia from behind.
"Mr. Hope, the second floor is not a place that anyone can just go," Mia said awkwardly. "Well, it's like this …"
It turned out that the Celestial Fortress Academy had made some changes in the management of the library in recent years. A lot of important magical knowledge and some advanced knowledge that ordinary students would not be able to use were all placed on the second floor. If one wanted to access the books, they would have to pay a hefty fee of one gold coin each time! Furthermore, the books could not be borrowed and could only be copied. If one wanted to read more, they would have to pay multiple times!
That was just too expensive. Mia's monthly expenses were only that much and now that it was nearing the end of the month, she did not even have that much money in her kitty purse.
