051-The class of 80 pages...

Two years and seven months flew by. Adam finally made it to 80 pages at the age of 15. His classmates also achieved the same milestone respectively, as Achilles had said they all advanced at the same pace, or he wouldn't advance with the class.

The next goal was to reach 100 pages for both Adam and his classmates; it would seem that there would be an official celebration upon reaching that amount, which Adam was very excited about achieving.

In these two long years, many things happened for Adam, but luckily none that put his life at risk. The negotiation with booklets was taking a long time and the eyeless old man seemed to be in no hurry; Instead, Adam, yes.

There had already been many times that he had to run away for fear of provoking some lunatic on the lower floor 5, luckily everything ended without too many complications once he ran towards the cave. But the fear remained.

The booklets were not so easy to convince, in general they were used to his life without many worries, so the vast majority of them just ignored Adam and continued with his peaceful life eating dust. The few booklets that responded to Adam's proposal asked so much that the old man with no eyes refused to accept the offer, so the negotiation never progressed.

Luckily, the white wood family didn't seem to be in a rush either. In his shelf days it would seem that 2 years was a short time, and they still didn't say anything to Adam for taking so long to get the booklets.

Although, this new routine as a businessman and book seeker was a little more exciting for Adam than just waiting on the stairs. According to his godfather: already getting a usable magic book before getting the black cloak from him was something that very few librarians had achieved.

Also, waiting on the 4th floor was not as good an idea as it used to be, little by little the situation was getting more and more out of control and the frequency with which dangerous creatures appeared only increased. Almost every day at least one librarian disappeared, and the guards were not able to control the situation.

So Adam didn't like to spend a lot of time in that flat anymore, he just went to school and to the market to buy some other nonsense. Over time, he realized that the characters were only used to buy the basic things to have a good lifestyle. But secrets, information and magical books couldn't be bought or at least couldn't be bought in the middle floor market which was the only one Adam knew about.

Although the boy did not complain, the advantage of being rich was not having to work to buy his food. Although, the cave helped him: stocking up on infinite food. Eating blue mushrooms every day was torture for Adam, so he searched the market more often for supplies.

Today, to celebrate 80 pages, Achilles asked all students to attend classes a few hours earlier than normal; It looked like there was going to be another special class. Adam was super excited about the possible special class; in so many years of studying, he realized that the only two special classes he had were the best lessons of his life in school so far.
