Noisy discussions were coming from every nook and cranny of the place, there was a crowd of people waiting at the entrance of the library.
The top floor was where the first-year student usually had access to but since they had just arrived they were still gawking at their surrounding.
Students coming from the second floor within the library would give them different stares. Once, they were inside the library, they noticed the ceiling seemed like it had no ending piercing deep and seemingly like endless darkness over their heads.
Besides that, they realize each pair of students that walked in would immediately pick up a tiny half thumb size circular device, and placed it beside their foreheads a moment later a colorless helmet would instantly appear to cover their heads and faces.
They also noticed the various desks spread out in the library for the students to use during studying.
After several seconds of staring, they decided to eventually choose a table not too close nor far, the moment they sat down on the empty chairs.
A glowing blue orb in the middle of the table began to expand gradually until it became an orb with a human upper body, with a straight face facial expression.
"Good day, Bernard Cat and Emelia water. This is probably your first time, so I will only be briefing you about a few things, and the rest you will be left to explore yourselves. First of all, I am bot, and I am here to enlighten you on whichever question you would like to ask first?" The Artificial intelligence said with a monotone voice." However, firstly to not disturb the peace and quietness of the environment. I would like you to make use of the item in front of you."
They had an expression of surprise, staring at the bot in front of them.
After warming his butt up, he finally decided to take the little item in front of him and placed it on his forehead the moment he did, he watch as the mini item grew into a glass-like helmet that was now covering his face without obstructing his movements, the item even seem to have the effect of enhancing a person vision almost like he could zoom in and out of every object in the library.
"Wow," Bernard said quite amazed by how advanced this world's technological gadgets were.
"This item is called a wisp gadget, it not only boosts your vision but gives you alone time. It also quarantines a personal space for you and everyone in this library, through wisp you could discuss or chat on whatever you want without disturbing others around you."
Looking at Emelia, she also seemed too excited that he could already tell she was already getting down to her business. Just like the bot said, looking around him made him realize literally everyone had wisp on their heads making them seem like their voices had been mute even when they were talking.
Thanks to the bot, he got to understand the rules of the library, most importantly the range it covered which basically occupies the whole library, so in as much, as he was still in the library the wisp would remain forever active.
With the help of the bot, Bernard stood up leaving the busy Emelia behind as he walked around the library browsing through various books, even as he did this he didn't forget to pick out books he felt were relatable.
Knowing nothing about the symbiote beast, Bernard thought it was finally time to gain more knowledge about them. Luckily, the bot was still there so he could easily find what he was looking for.
The real problem was most of what he could find, only had limited topics and basic aspects of symbiote beast and their abilities. While he had been browsing through the library, Emelia seemed to have found what she wanted as she held a tablet gently in her palm.
Knowing nothing about symbiote beast, it was very stressful finding what could broaden his view and information so he just sat there, browsing through the series of books in the book tab.
After flickering dozens of books, Bernard felt a bit frustrated he would have loved to vent all his frustration, but he could only do so much by screaming inside the wisp.
Emelia raised her head, to realize the frustrated look on his expression and noticed the bundle of books stacked up in front of him.
"Bernard, are you okay?" Emelia said as her voice was transmitted from her wisp to his own.
"Ahh, am fine," Bernard replied, he had almost forgotten that in as much as two students were sitting extremely close at the same table, they could accept each other voices.
"Are you looking for something specific?" She said looking at the books, in front of him.
"I don't really know, but I am trying to search for which book can teach me how I can communicate with my symbiote beast."
"Oh no wonder, to be honest, I heard what Morgan said about you. I even thought you might have accepted their offer by now since you couldn't communicate with your symbiote beast." Emelia said with a puzzled expression. "Well, I could try to help you if you can tell me, what really is wrong with your symbiote beast."
"To be honest, although I have read in several books that there have been several similar situations as mine, however, there was no solution except wait or accept another symbiote beast."
Emelia chuckled a bit.
"Why are you smiling?" Bernard asked a bit confused.
"What if your symbiote beast doesn't like you or is afraid of you?" She said suddenly voicing out her thoughts.
Bernard began to laugh out loud, he would believe anything except Mr meow meow not liking him, or even worse being afraid of him, if truly it was afraid of him its wouldn't have knocked him out cold on their first day of meeting.
"What's funny? I honestly think it might not like you or might even be afraid of you. Symbiote beast hating or being afraid of their counterpart isn't a rare occurrence. Sure they might have accepted you at first, but later they might begin to hate on their user. Are you sure your situation isn't like I have said?"
Hearing this, Bernard was really surprised by her words. He would have loved to express how wrong she was, but he understood what she was hinting at and was just trying to help. He also guessed if he was in her place, he definitely would have repeated her exact words.
