The Eternal In The Magic World

Chapter 3: Fast Memory

He looked at Harold as if thinking of something and continued, “How are you preparing for the exam three months from now? I heard that only two new librarians can take the exam this time. The rest should go.”

The tests?

What tests?

Upon hearing this, Harold was slightly surprised.

Harold was stunned for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to find the relevant information from his memories.

Although the original owner of the body was a librarian, he did not appear to be an official librarian. He's just a temporary worker. Every year, the library would recruit many such people and then test them all to maintain a suitable one.

All this time, their salary was nothing.

“There is still an internship in this world too?!” This was something Harold had not expected.

After looking through his memories, he realized that the test was to test some general knowledge and some questions in various aspects. The difficulty is not low, and the contents are many. The overall difficulty is pretty average.

However, the problem was that the original host only existed in the library for less than a month.

He only knew the general text and did not understand more esoteric things.

In other words, he would definitely be eliminated!

Seeing Harold's pouting expression, the corner of Kart's mouth inevitably curved upwards. He raised his head, and his golden hair fluttered behind him. He said very sadly, “Ya. This time, only two remained. In the past, three would have stayed. The test will be difficult. I wonder if I can graduate. If I can't, then I'm done!

“What to do?”

Kart's tone was worried, and the corner of Harold's mouth twitched.

‘You call that worried?

‘I can't see the worry in your eyes. This is definitely a joy with a little anticipation and even a little excitement.’

However, this person seemed to have the right to say that. In Harold's impression, Kart seems to have the most knowledge of all temporary librarians, and he always gets first grade in class.

Although Kart sucks, it's time for Harold to consider the exam.

If he didn't want to lose this decent job, he'd better pass this exam.

As long as he became a full-time clerk in the Imperial Library, he might not be able to live a luxurious life, but that was enough for him to get out of the cramped and dilapidated slums.

However, in just three months, considering that he still had to work every day, as well as other things, it was not an easy task to gather enough knowledge to pass the exam within that period of time.

As for his books, he could only read them occasionally during breaks in the library. An intern like him couldn't just ask to borrow a book and take it home. The book he had brought home earlier was truly an accident.

‘Wait, there is a zero circle spell in the book called Quick Memory.’ Harold suddenly remembered.

According to the records, if one advanced to a Level-1 apprentice, he could start learning spells.

Fast memory is one of the most basic zero circle spells at the apprentice stage. It allowed people to memorize knowledge quickly and was one of the foundations for magicians to learn and master a large amount of knowledge.

In addition, there was also the free reading of the rank 1 barrier, the soul reading of rank 2. And most importantly, this spell was very simple, almost one of the simplest spells. As long as you advance to the Magician apprentice, you will be able to master it quickly.

The only obstacle was that Harold needed at least half a month to finish reading all the texts for the exam. In other words, he only had two and a half months left to apprentice.

After becoming an official librarian, he would be very stable. As long as he did not commit any crime, he would almost never be fired. It was perfect for Harold who focused on developing himself.

“So, I'll go up to level 1 mage first.” Harold looked at the bookshelf in front of him and made up his mind.

It was almost eight or nine in the morning, and the library door slowly opened.

In this era, reading is a luxury. The poor have no energy or money. Only rich men and women could read.

As for the nobles, they usually did not come here. They usually have their own library and will only come here when they want to read some books that they do not have.

On the other hand, seeing no reaction from Harold after listening to his words, Kart looked a little disappointed. However, when he saw the library door had opened, he could only helplessly give up on the idea of continuing to chat with Harold and turn around to leave.

…

Time passed when people were flipping through books.

The gentlemen who were reading saw the sunset outside the library and knew that it was time. One by one, they handed over their books to the librarians around them and left one by one.

Seeing them off one by one, the corners of Harold's mouth curled up into a smile.

It was a smooth day.

He had done so according to his memory, and there was no mistake.

Just as he was about to take off his clothes and leave, suddenly a knocking sound was heard. Harold turned his head and saw a black-robed man walking in.

Scholar Clement was the one in charge of the librarian in the library.

She has long brown hair and black pupils. He held a thick book in his right hand.

“Temporary librarians, please stay put.”

As he spoke, most of the librarians in the library slowly left, leaving only a dozen to gather around the Clement scholars, including Harold and Kart.

“Ya.” Scholar Clement nodded in satisfaction and said, “In three months, we will test your abilities. The top two can continue to stay here, while the rest must go. After that, you will be rewarded with silver Tarl.”

The currency of the Byrne Empire was divided into gold tarl, silver tarl, and copper tarl, and each increment was the next 100 tarl.

Silver tarl is the amount of money a normal worker can earn in a month. As for Harold, his monthly salary was 50 copper tarls, barely enough for him to survive.

As for the official warden, they earned a total of five silver tarls a month, excluding any tips that might be given by the master and mistress. This was also one of the important reasons why Harold was determined to stay here.

Librarians are high-paying jobs.

Hearing the words of scholar Clement, everyone's eyes sparkled. However, when they thought about how they might not pass, their hearts sank again, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

It seems Clement just wants to make an announcement. He turned around and left, leaving only a few dozen temporary workers standing there.

Harold looked around. Most people discuss in groups of two or three people, and the most “pessimis” is undoubtedly Kart, who is better known to him.

Right now, he stood in the middle of a few people and sighed. “This time will be very difficult. I feel like I'm in danger too. The library only needs two people. Actually, one silver tarl is also good.”.

As if sensing Harold's gaze, Kart looked up and observed his surroundings. He looked at Harold's gaze coincidentally at her. His eyes lit up, and he walked towards her.

When Harold saw this, he immediately pretended not to see it and immediately returned to the changing room. He doesn't have to hear the same shit anymore.

After changing clothes, Harold walked out of the library.

On the way home, Harold looked at the Silver Moon in the sky, the passing carriages, and the poor people in linen clothes. Only then did he realize that everything had changed.

“Do not be rash. We'll talk about other things when we're strong enough, ” Harold murmured while looking towards the silvery moonlight.

He had not forgotten that there was an incredible power in this world.
