William didn't stay behind any longer, moved out as he was confident and without any worry. As he passed towards the exit, he gave the two girls a silent look, inviting them to follow his suit and leave with him.
Angelica hurriedly chased after him. As for Tara, she turned to the elders, as if she was waiting for their decision.
"Go, we'll contact you when we are done," one of the elders said, before adding, "this kid is special. Make sure he won't leave the city until we are done."
"He wants to visit the advanced library," Tara knew they wanted to learn more from William. And so she decided to give him a hand, asking the elders for a direct permission to visit the advanced library, "he spent an entire week in the common library, so…"
"Fine, let him visit it," another elder waved his arms in impatience, "just make sure he won't leave."
"I will," Tara nodded, cupping her hands before following William out, "you got the permission to visit the higher library," she said this the moment she caught up with him.
"I need to rest for a day," William yawned, acting as if he already guessed such a thing, "if they didn't end testing what I told them, then they'll have to wait for me to finish my visit to the second library."
"This…" Tara was shocked by what he said. The elders were terrifying masters, earning their respect and veneration for what they stood up for. She never heard of someone speaking about them in such a way before, and yet William totally ignored her expression as he waved his arm.
"I need to not get interrupted when I visit that library. Besides, once I'm done, I'm sure I'll ask for another audition and test the new theories I'll come up with."
"..."
It was enough of a surprise for William to come up with twenty theories in Tara's mind. And yet he dared to claim he would come up with more theories.
As he acted this confident, she had nothing to say except to follow him. They returned to the house, ate and slept for half a day.
William didn't want to rest to just come up with new theories. He was sure he'd come up with tons of modifications to the existing ways in this world.
·?θm He grasped the main flaws in the world's ways from his visit to the common library. But he wanted to rest and clear his mind, be ready as he expected to find lots of unresolved and mysterious secrets at the second library. And he was right, he was about to find things none ever understood before, things that would blow his mind even.
William woke up in the morning, ate his breakfast, and then left for the advanced library. According to Tara, the elders were still busy studying and testing his theories out.
What he didn't know though was that she already relayed what he told her over to them. And they got the same kind of shock as her, asking her to let him stay there for as long as he wanted to.
They even went to the extent to promise her that they'd try their best and secure an entry privilege for him to the royal library before he'd finish visiting the advanced one.
Tara was indeed quite shocked, but she got what they had in mind. They didn't share any of their results with her. Yet from their excitement she could tell that whatever they tested was right.
And that made her want to listen more to William's ideas and thoughts, learn more from him. Without realising it, she started to see William from being a lucky teenager who got his life saved by a miracle, into someone who she highly valued, like a master or a mentor or something.
She led William towards the advanced library alongside Angelica. The latter didn't do anything during past night except for recalling the words William said in front of the elders. She was inwardly shaken, realising that she got to meet someone quite special.
She already watched him change into a monstrous body, yet she thought he was just an anomaly, all muscles and no brains. Who knew he got such vast knowledge and experience, enough to make the formidable elders of the city to even admire him.
She then started to recall everything he said since the first moment they met. William wasn't fond of speaking about lots of stuff, and the only occasion he spoke too much about something was when they got out from the Hot Snow world.
He asked her to show her chest to him, to inspect the presence of a weird tattoo. According to him, this was a sealing tattoo, one that'd seal off one's spirit. It was the reason why no one could change into such monstrous form, something that she truly envied him for.
Back at their adventure towards here, he was the main reason, the sole reason behind their survival. She knew he was lying to Tara about how they arrived here, but he was true about one thing; he truly saved her life!
And that was all thanks to his monstrous form. With it, she also could be this strong and mighty, not fearing to venture out alone like many others in this world.
Yet she examined herself thoroughly and found nothing. William already showed her his tattoo, and she couldn't find a single scratch over her skin.
In the morning, she wanted nothing more than to strip off in front of him and ask him to look and see if there was any tattoo there. But when she met with his eyes, her embarrassment took over and couldn't say a single word.
The advanced academy was something smaller in size than the common library. William already expected something like this. After all, the common library got all the basic information about anything in this world. And that left only high-end techniques, manuals, and other stuff to be stored here in this library.
