There were two staircases leading from the first floor of the library to the second floor. On the north side of the staircase sat a burly man who was in charge of collecting money. His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with a fierce expression. His huge body almost completely blocked the staircase, and it seemed like there was no chance for anyone to sneak away.
The other staircase on the south side was empty. There was an ordinary-looking wooden door at the entrance. Many students were gathered around the door, but none of them dared to push the door open. They were all discussing something, and because of the Soundproof Barrier, no one could hear what they were talking about. It was a very strange scene.
When Baiyi got closer, he used his Psychic Energy to probe the door. Immediately, he understood what was going on. Intrigued, he asked, "Oh? There's a barrier on the door? Looks like we have to break the barrier before we can go up, right? "
"Yes," Mia nodded. Mia nodded her head in agreement. "If we can't pay for the books, we'll have to find a way to break the barrier to get to the second floor."
"Hmm... Interesting," Baiyi said, nodding his head. Baiyi said excitedly. This ingenious idea seemed to be quite a good idea. Placing the books that were commonly used by the students on the first floor for easy access, and moving the books that were not of use to the second floor was to prevent the loss of these relatively important books. At the same time, it did not block the path of those gifted students who could further their studies.
They even left an extra way to pay for the books to satisfy the curiosity of some students. At the same time, they could also earn some extra subsidies for the library. It was killing two birds with one stone.
However, from the looks of it, the students did not seem to understand the real intention of the academy. If you can't break the barrier, it means that the books on the door are not suitable for you. Leave now and don't waste your time. Young people should learn to let go.
Looks like this ingenious design has been treated as some kind of game by these kids, the Archmage said in his mind. This is not a stage for them to show off.
As soon as he said that, Baiyi and Mia walked into the Soundproof Barrier. A big boy with freckles on his face walked out from the crowd and stood in front of the door. The confidence on his face was not enough to dispel the nervousness in his heart. There were even some beads of sweat on his forehead. Holding the textbook in his arms tightly, he shouted, "Everyone! I'm going! "
Then, like a snail, he slowly moved to the door and carefully divided some of his mental strength and magic power to influence the nodes on the barrier. Then, when he thought he was about to succeed, he did not forget to look back at the audience behind him with a confident smile and shouted, "It seems that I'm in luck today!" As soon as his hand touched the doorknob, he was sent flying by an invisible force and rolled far away.
"Aiyo! Ouch! It hurts like hell! Be careful! " The pitiful student immediately let out a blood-curdling scream like a pig being slaughtered. However, seeing that he still had the strength to warn others, it meant that he wasn't really injured. He just looked a little battered.
Even though there was such a classic case of failure, it did not shake the determination of the other students at all. Instead, it boosted their courage. They stepped forward one after another, not forgetting to shout all sorts of shameful slogans before they lifted the handle …
"That's what I'm going to do today!" Then, he was electrocuted into an afro …
"This time, I'm going to defy the heavens!!!" Then, he was frozen into an ice sculpture and was carried out by a nearby student to bask in the sun.
"For the beautiful Miss Tisdale, I'm going all out!!!" Then, he was turned into charcoal by an explosion.
Compared to the quiet library outside the Soundproof Enchantment, this area was really lively. Baiyi did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the Apprentice who had just been unmuted and asked, "Are all the students in your academy always this lively?"
"This is youth! It's wonderful, isn't it? "The apprentice didn't feel ashamed at all.
However, not everyone was as patient as him. For example, a Voidwalker with the codename Hitman said impatiently, "This is too much trouble. Why don't we just figure out a way to sneak in?"
"Eh? Sneak in? These students didn't do anything wrong, right? Why was he doing this to them? All they did was steal a few glances at Mia. Mia is so cute, so it's normal for normal boys to notice her, right? There's no need to be like this, right? "A Walker hurriedly comforted.
"Sneaking in such an environment would be very troublesome, wouldn't it? I'm not doubting Sir Hope's strength but there are so many people here. It would be very difficult to deal with them all. "Another Walker with the codename Hitman quickly analyzed from a technical point of view.
"At this stage, we need to keep a low profile. If it's not necessary, let's not kill anyone. Not to mention, there are so many innocent students, "The Archmage finally said.
The Voidwalker with the codename Hitman was instantly embarrassed. He quickly explained, "Although I don't know what you're talking about, it seems like you've misunderstood me. I was just talking about sneaking in without anyone noticing. It seems like you've completely misunderstood me. Are you questioning my professionalism? "
No, no, no! They really didn't question your professionalism, okay, Sir Hitman? Everyone knows that you have a wealth of experience and skills in sneaking in. You've undergone all kinds of harsh training and repetitive boring practices. Not only that, you've always been committed to applying these skills in actual combat … But … Baiyi thought to himself.
There was no doubt that the Hitman was a strong man when he was still alive. However, his temper had always been bad and his patience was very limited. This led to a lot of things happening to him when he was sneaking in.
Oops! I've been discovered by the sentries. This is so troublesome! Let's just kill them all!
Oops! I've been discovered by the patrols. This is so troublesome! Let's just kill them all!
Oops! I've been discovered by the guards. This is so troublesome! Let's just kill them all!
Oops! I've been discovered by the bodyguards. This is so troublesome! Let's just kill them all!
Alright, mission accomplished! Nobody knows that I've sneaked in! What a perfect operation!
Yes, indeed, nobody knew that he had sneaked in. Because those who knew had all been killed by him. What kind of training did he receive? Are you sure he's not trained by the barbarians? After all, a lot of people thought that the only difference between him and a berserker was the name.
That was why when he proposed to sneak in, everyone was unanimously against it. Baiyi put the book in his arms aside and waited patiently with Mia.
Not long after, a librarian walked towards him and politely asked him to show him the library card that was specially used by Soul Armatures.
How could I possibly have such a thing?
"If that's the case, I guess I'll have to ask you to come again on the weekends. During that time, the second floor is open to Soul Armatures. During normal times, the second floor is only open to students," the librarian said.
So, they don't want the powerful students to have too much contact with other Soul Armatures? Baiyi thought to himself. For the time being, he had no intention of breaking other people's rules. Pointing at Mia, he asked, "How about her? She can go up and copy down the content that I want, right? "
Before the librarian could say anything, Mia replied disappointingly, "Eh? Me? If it's me … I can't do it! So many seniors have failed! "
The librarian looked at the second-year symbol on Mia's collar and smiled helplessly, "If she can go up there, of course it's not a problem. But, isn't this a little too much? If she's expelled by the barrier, she might get hurt. "
"No problem, I trust her," Baiyi replied. Hurriedly, he pulled Mia to a corner that no one would notice and asked in a low voice, "Mia, do you think that barrier is very scary?"
Embarrassed, Mia nodded her head and quickly lowered her head again. Clutching at the hem of her skirt, she probably felt that she had let Baiyi down.
The cute look on her face, like a kitten admitting her mistake, would definitely not attract any scolding from Baiyi. Patiently, he continued, "Trust me, Mia. This barrier is actually very basic and very simple. You can definitely do it."
"Eh? Can I really do it? "Still not confident, Mia looked at Baiyi with a wronged expression on her face.
"You have to trust my judgment, Mia," Baiyi said seriously. Baiyi said solemnly. Then, he squatted down on the ground and gathered a little pale blue mana at the tip of his finger. Then, he gently drew the diagram of the barrier on the ground. "You just need to do as I say, and you'll be able to break it easily."
Holding her long ponytails, Mia squatted down as well. Initially, she wanted to listen to Baiyi's explanation carefully but in the end, Baiyi only needed to say a few words to finish his explanation.
"That's it?" Disbelief was written all over Mia's face. She could not believe that the barrier that was so difficult for most of the students could be easily broken with just two or three steps. Even with her current level, she could do it easily.
"The principle behind this barrier is actually not that complicated. It's just that it's mainly made of formations and you guys are too unfamiliar with formations, that's why you'll find it troublesome." With a wave of his hand, Baiyi dispersed the diagram on the ground and stood up. "You'll know once you try it. I'll wait for you here. Remember to make a copy of the latest academic journal for me."
"Got it. I'll give it a try, Mr. Hope." Mia nodded her head but there was still a lingering worry on her face. After all, the scene of being expelled by the barrier was really not a good one. It was fine if it was a guy but a girl like Mia did not want to embarrass herself in front of so many people.
However, when she recalled Baiyi's confident words, she still lined up behind the other students anxiously. It was not that she did not trust Baiyi, it was just that she doubted herself.
"You're not very confident, little girl?" The Archmage said.
