After Quinn finished unpacking, she was free to do what she wanted for the rest of the day. It was still daytime, so he had plenty of time to explore the academy to do what he wanted.
Quinn was currently sharing her room with two people and surprisingly, she knew them both. One was Vorden while the other was Peter. There were three single beds in each room scattered over each other but other than that the room was quite empty.
Students are expected to spend most of their time learning or practicing their skills.
“What do you want to do?” Vorden asked.
“I'm still unpacking, you two don't have to wait for me, do what you want,” replied Peter.
Peter had opened up a bit to the two of them, at first he was really shy and barely said a word but slowly Peter looked out of his shell especially around Quinn. Peter most likely felt comfortable being around Quinn knowing that he was a level 1 ability user like himself.
“I was thinking of going to the library,” replied Quinn, “that might be too boring for you.”
“Boring, I can make anything fun, besides that I have not read the book in..” Vorden paused for a moment. “I can't even remember the last time I read a book.”
The three of them laughed and then Vorden and Quinn decided to go to the library together. Finally they had arrived and the first floor was already crowded with students. Quinn noticed that there were several round tables scattered in the place where the students were sitting and In the middle of the table there was a shining ball.
“Ahh, you may be wondering what the Orb thing is in the middle, right?” Vorden asked, “It looks like they don't have it in public school. If you touch the ball, then it allows you to make space, in that space, only those who have been invited can be heard. This way people can talk and chat as much as they want without disturbing others. “
“Technology has definitely grown rapidly.”
Quinn and Vorden then chose a table that had two other people sitting on the other side. As Vorden said, Quinn could see the two talking but could not hear a word of what they were saying. The ball seemed to only have the range of the table. As soon as you leave the table, others can hear you as usual.
Quinn went to look around the library and picked up as many books on abilities as possible. Most of them describe what kind of ability the world has. Vorden did not care much and decided to pick a random fiction book to read.
The two sat at their table while Quinn started to move away. After reading a few books, Quinn found nothing new. He already knew about most of the abilities written on the books but none of them mentioned abilities like Quinn.
Vorden had been watching Quinn closely and paying attention to the type of book she had chosen.
“What's with all those books, are you looking for something in particular?”
Quinn thought about it for a moment before giving Vorden an answer. Vorden was not the most intelligent person in terms of academics, but it seemed that he was quite knowledgeable about abilities. He had to do it because of the kind of ability he had.
“I try to decide what ability I get since I rejected the school offer.”
“Oh yes, I forgot about that, I thought you might be one of the Pure members who hates abilities. Turns out you just don't want to be a dog for the military.” Vorden replied, “Alright, is there anything specific you're looking for?”
Vorden suddenly started laughing out loud.
“What's crazy, I've never heard of anything like that. Ability is something our body learns. Sure some people have restrictions and cannot learn stronger spells or can do less than others but one becomes weaker due to the sun. Sounds like you're a vampire or something. “
Quinn felt a little embarrassed by Vorden's reaction. Of course, Quinn knew this would be a normal reaction when asking something like this but it was true. As long as Quinn was in direct sunlight, all of his stats would weaken by half.
Quinn continued to look around the library to see if there was anything else she could find. He ended up reading every ability book he could find but there was nothing. Quinn then looked up to the top floor where there were a few second-year students.
“Maybe there is something there, but I can't imagine what the academy will do to me for breaking the rules,” thought Quinn.
As Quinn continued to walk around the library, she finally got into the fiction section and her eyes were drawn to something.
Specific title of a book titled “Truths about Vampir”.
Quinn took out the book and took a quick look at it. Vampires are fairy tales, even myths. Even when people started coming out with power, not a single person claimed to be a vampire.
Quinn could not help but start reading the book. It was a distant shot but maybe he'll find something he can relate to.
After reading and skimming through the book, Quinn found it mostly useless. A lot of the things that Vampires do, have absolutely nothing to do with it. Vampires must eat human blood. Some can turn themselves into bats and give the illusion. While others were highly skilled with swords and hypnosis, but Quinn did not have these things.
The only thing he could relate to in the book was being weaker in the sun. Eventually, Quinn decided to close the book and cancel it. It seemed like he would not find anything from the first floor of the library.
As soon as Quinn closes the book. A familiar voice sounded.
