The complicated interior. Although it was simple on the outside, the inside was clearly very extraordinary. I used perception to map the structure of this building. Three-story building, with many rooms on each floor. That's what we call class. Each class is connected by a long hallway. And in each hallway there are three stairs that each lead to the upper and lower floors.
In the map drawn on my brain, I saw the entire structure of the school building. And I really admire the structural design of this building.
The design of buildings today is really advanced and very interesting. Especially the buildings in the city before. They are really complex in terms of their artistic art designs.
Art and three dimensions are maintained in equitable state. Displays harmony of angles, lines, and spaces with the right scale and proportions. Even the small details are really noticed. Such as precise slits and curvatures on the base to reduce uneven pressure.
What a clever design.
As I observed the intricate structure of the building, I was amazed at how great and detailed it was to be in the arrangement of all the elements. Even without protective magic, they would remain sturdy for many years.
Truly a great advancement of human technology, even surpassing any high-level magician techniques.
Now I walk down the hallway of the school, following Aki towards the library. While observing the interior design of this school building.
“Oh, yes. By the way, how about Alicia school?”
Suddenly asked like that in the middle of the road.
I stopped from observing the building and turned my head towards it.
I was confused as to what to answer. Obviously not going to school and I don't feel like I need to go to school either.
After all, I had never taken such an official education, even since I was born until now I have always studied alone. Through the observation and conclusion of the analysis of a particular phenomenon or event.
In the heyday of man at that time, there was indeed a concept of education from a certain kingdom. They call it an academy, just like a school. But only one level and the class is not divided as it is now.
But that's only for the human race. Although I can disguise myself as a human by changing the color of my eyes and skin, I can already be considered a human. But I'm not interested in going to school there, because it's very troublesome and annoying for sure.
Just look at the difference in the treatment of nobles and commoners. Status inequality is really far away. So as far as I was concerned only nobles could enter the academy. Whereas ordinary people who have talent must get a recommendation from certain nobles to be able to register. After enrolling and being accepted, his school life is not exactly comfortable either. Because those who are ordinary people will pass through the obstacles of patience from the selfishness of the nobility.
That's the third reason I don't want to study officially at any institute.
The dark race itself also does not care about things such as joint education, they also learn on their own, from their parents or study with others. Never made a school or academy.
Only humans have the concept of education. That's all I knew before I fell asleep. Because there may or may have been a change at any time during my 5,000 years of sleep.
“I don't need to go to school.” My answer.
“Ehhh, Why?”
“Because I don't want.” That's it, a short answer in a confirming tone.
“Ehhh-ehhhhhh The souls of Aki's mothers suddenly came out and looked at me with disdain, like staring at a brat. But my answer remains unanimous. No one can force me anyway.
I already had a good knowledge of the working world, both the laws of nature and the laws of magic. That's why I have a special magic technique concept. Only owned by those who have lived for more than millions of years. [Book of The World], at least that's the name given to this technique.
[Book of The World] is the accumulated knowledge in my brain that I accumulated over the years. As the largest holder of science in the world. All I know is there are only two special magic technique owners [Book of The World]. That's me and that guy. We are both immortals and the longest living beings in this world. I don't call him a friend, because I'm not friends with him. I was disturbed by his every presence.
I was thinking where he is now. Since we are both immortal, he must still be somewhere.
But since I fell asleep for 5000 years, my knowledge flow was intercepted due to this slightly wide range. Even so, I only need to adapt to this new environment, which has not been stored in the [Book of The World].
To replenish this new, incomplete information and knowledge. I just need to read a book or whatever to find information, both reading and seeing and listening, then automatically all the new things will be recorded in my brain, published in [Book of the World].
That's not the only reason I don't want to go to school, other than because it's a hassle.
With school, I felt like my free life would be lost if I went to school.
Was bad?
No, that was just my honest reason.
The real reason is that my existence is still on the gray list.
I don't have an identity yet.
If I went to school, I would be asked a lot of questions. If I am asked constantly, it is very inconvenient to give a diversion answer.
I really don't want that.
And it looks like to take care of my move to school requires complicated files. I really don't want to take care of that either.
After all it seems like my existence is really striking. Even today I am in such an atmosphere. Many of the students we passed by looked curiously at me and it was only because there was Aki that they did not approach me.
I'm nervous to be the center of attention.
Although it is not the same as the gaze of the people of the past against me. But they both put a lot of pressure on.
Only moments like this, there is a thought that advises me to continue to lock myself up.
It is an interesting choice, but right now my priority is to fill in all the information and knowledge that is less complete than [Book of The World]. After that, I could lock myself up again.
I just had to endure this hard ordeal.
Do as usual, by the way, ‘Ignore! Ignore!’.
“Oh! Aki.” Coming from across the hall, appeared the girl higher than Aki. He had long black hair that was left on his shoulder. Its simple appearance made it look more mature than Aki.
“Yahoo! Karin-chan is! Wanna gohome? Sorry this time we can't be together.”
“It's okay, I've read the message too. So, is she the employer you're talking about?”
“True, her name is Alicia. He saved me and gave me a job.”
“Halo. I'm Karin Kurosaki. Just call Karin.”
“Ah! Etto, my name is Alicia. So just call Alicia.”
“OK, Alicia. It's nice to meet you. Thank you also for taking care of Aki.”
“It looks like you guys are going to the library, right? Can I come too?”
“Ehh, Karin-chan, is it okay? What about your sister?”
“It's okay. After all my sister also both came home late, so I still have some free time. I also want to get to know Alicia more closely, so it's a good time.”
“So, huh? What about you, Alicia?”
“I'm fine. In that case, please help, Karin.”
“I'm the same, please help, Alicia.”
And so it was, unexpectedly we got a new member.
Although I only heard it from Aki, she is truly a reliable figure as well.
For some reason with its existence alone, made the attention of the men immediately distracted, while the attention of the girls we passed by increased.
I don't know why.
Nevertheless, I remained indifferent to all the attention given.
Unknowingly it seems we have reached the library room by going up the stairs once.
Actually it's not too far, it's just that during the trip here, many obstacles are blocked. So it feels a little long.
“This is Alicia.”'s library
After the battery showed it and opened the door. What was inside was a diverse array of books in five shelves placed parallel in such a way. Between the shelves were two wide tables and six chairs circling them. The atmosphere of silence is what describes this room, only a few voices are sometimes heard clearly, although many people in it.
“Tumben once. Many people came.”
“For sure. Isn't this a natural phenomenon every school we will soon hold the final exam semester.” From beside the door, appeared the figure of the girl with glasses. Sit behind the front desk.
“Ah, Hasebe-san. How are you?”
“Good news. You guys want to learn too?”
“It is true that the final semester exam is near. Lately I've been forgetting it a little.”
“Although forget it. It seems, Shinohara-san will be fine. You really always get good grades every exam.”
“Ah, hahahaha. That's because I always took myself right with the teacher's explanation in class.”
I watched the two couples continue to talk casually.
Like seeing my confusion, Karin who was beside me told me.
“She Hasebe Rindou. His classmate Aki. He is also part of OSIS, which works in the library. So he used to be here, as a school library keeper.”
“So..”.
When I was looking carefully at her relaxed features, she turned to look at me through her glasses.
With an innocent smile, he said, “Can you introduce that cute girl to me too?”
“Ah, she's Alicia. And I work for him as a housekeeper.”
“Ah, so she's the one you were talking about back then?”
I really don't know, what Aki talked about me to the other people behind me. I just hope it's not something bad.
“She's so cute, isn't she?”
“True, I wanted a little sister like her. Really cute.”
I don't know why this is getting a little weird. I know I'm cute, I realized it myself before. But can they stop talking about things like that, I feel a little uncomfortable about it.
“Hey, you two, can't you stop. Alicia became uncomfortable because of it. Rather than that, Aki, did you forget your purpose of coming here.”
From beside me, a hero figure appeared. He firmly lectured the two who made a strange face become downcast.
“”Sorry..”” The two together made an apology.
“Alright, I forgot our destination to the library. So this is the library, Alicia. You can read a whole book.”
“Ah! Please do not forget to fill in the list of visitors as well.” Hasebe reminded behind Aki.
By filling out the list of visitors, I was already free to plunge among the pile of new things that I missed. It's just that it's not here to make noise, so you have to stay calm in the library.
I see a lot of people are seriously reading and writing something. As they said, the days approaching the exam seemed to be what made the atmosphere heavy around them. Although I don't know, what to worry about with the exam.
Aki and Karin seemed to have also started studying preparing for the exam, seeing them start flicking through their notebook. I keep reading books that I find interesting. Since there were only three hours left until the school library was closed, I had to carefully select the book I wanted to read for the first time.
After a while of searching, I picked up two books.
The book was titled, ‘ Secrets of Aircraft: Basic Laws of Aerodynamics and Their Practical Benefits’. This book deals with matters relating to the movement of air and its utilization. The basic laws of air movement are already in my brain. I'm just curious about how human ideas can make it into flying objects? That's the one I'm interested in right now.
The second book I took was about history, especially the history of the industrial and technological revolution. This will certainly tell how the story of humans can become a modern people.
These are the two books I will read for the first time.
But baby, I didn't find a book that explained anything about magic and the lost dark race.
The language about them is only in fiction books. A book written by an imaginary writer. So I'm less interested now. Because it doesn't fit reality.
Therefore, magic and dark races I will just get rid of, because now these two books will be the main characters today.
