The group walked to the library idly, greeting everyone they stumbled upon on their way. In the last 5 years, they have all become a part of this small community.
The good thing here is that everyone here is considered a part of one big happy family. They share everything, happiness, and sadness. It was something you wouldn't see anywhere else which made it even more precious and rare to find.
The most liked out of them all was Acht who worked during the few years he was here to make everyone like him and it wasn't that hard of a task for him to do.
He worked as a hunter and got them a lot of meat, he also helped them with sickness and other important things during harsh winters and hot weather.
They all even called him a blessing on this village. He knew that that wasn't the case at all but he still felt really happy hearing such words.
He had never heard these words before at all which made it even more impactful.
"Ok, we are going to move some books from the storage room." He said as he opened the library's door and entered inside.
"It's easy peasy," Leislet said as she rolled her sleeves with a huge grin.
"Leave it to me," Scarlett added and peeked at Leislet.
'I will finish before you could even move two books.'
'Haha, dream on, slut. You will probably have to see the books first with those huge boobs of yours.'
The two spoke with their eyes expertly without making anyone suspicious.
Then, the group went to work as they moved books to the shelves. These books were bought from the major cities and bought here.
Surprisingly, villagers liked the idea and they came to read books enthusiastically. Most of them were illiterate so this was a big help for them which scored even more points for Acht with them.
It even made Acht earn money even though he never really intended for this small dream of his to start generating money.
As the group was working, Sali came in rushing through the door. He seemed to be sweating profusely and had a slightly pale face.
Acht approached him with a confused look. He didn't understand why he had such a pale face and a scared look.
"Cero! There is someone asking for you."
"Someone? Who?" He asked.
"An armored person. He looks intimidating and also has a sword, he asked for you." Sali explained as he tried to catch his breath.
Hearing that, Acht's eyes turned colder as he suspected that it might have been an enemy. So, he secretly readied himself and then walked out.
Luckily, the others didn't hear the conversation as they were in the back getting books out. Acht didn't intend to tell them yet until he took a look by himself.
The two left and walked to the village entrance. He saw many people standing slightly far away, looking at the man with scared looks.
Knights were basically something they don't see every day so it was very intimidating for them.
Acht passed these people and approached the man.
"What business do you have with me?" The boy asked as he inspected the man.
He was tall, almost 6 feet and 7 inches tall. His body was muscular and he was clad in armor from head to toe. He also had a giant sword on his back and a horse by his side.
The man eyed Acht up and down two before he went to his horse and pulled what seemed to be a letter from his sack.
"This is your Recommendation Letter for the Soul World Academy. Congratulations and I wish you the best of luck." The man said before he jumped on his horse and started leaving.
"Hey, wait," Acht said as he had many questions to ask him.
"What?"
"I have several questions. You can't just leave like that."
The man shook his head and said.
"My apologies, I can't stay here for long. As for your questions, everything will be answered in that Letter. Now, farewell."
Then, he left immediately without looking back at all.
Acht gazed at his back while he disappeared on the horizon. Then, his eyes shifted to the letter in his hand.
It was a very thick letter, almost 5 centimeters thick.
But, he didn't open it at that time and that place. He had to first come back and show it to Scarlett and Leislet. They knew better than him.
"Oi, Cero. What is going on? Who is he? What did he give you?" Sali asked nervously.
Acht turned around and smiled slightly to reassure them.
"Don't worry, he is not an enemy. He came here to deliver me a letter. You can all go back to your work." He said.
Everyone looked at each other before nodding their head. If it was not bad news then that was good enough for them.
Acht also walked back to the library with many things running through his head.
How did they know I was here? Did they just track me? Besides that, did I even try to roll in the academy? I can't recall doing anything.
Many questions and no answers…at least yet. He was hoping the letter would answer all of his worries.
"Oi, Leislet, Scarlett." He shouted.
The two came rushing toward him.
"A knight just came and gave me this letter. A recommendation letter." He said.
Leislet and Scarlett looked at each other for a moment before they jumped on Acht at the same time, hugging tightly from all sides.
"Congratulations, Acht." Leislet with a muffled voice, she seemed to have started crying for some reason.
"Thank God, I can't believe it worked." Scarlett also said as she teared up.
"What? What's going on?" He asked confusedly.
He didn't know why they were this emotional and happy about this recommendation letter.
Leiselt chuckled as she wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled very softly.
"We hid this from you for a long time. But…."
"But what."
Leiselt clapped her hand and replied.
"You are no longer a wanted criminal, Acht. Congratulations, this is the happiest moment of my life." She said as tears started falling down her cheeks again.
She just simply couldn't contain her happiness at all.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Acht asked again with an even more confused look.
His mind still didn't catch on with her words.
