14 Those kinds of books

"Though I call myself your magic instructor, I can only teach you the basics."

"Then professor, how can we learn advance magic? or perhaps it is not for us yet?" One of the students asked.

"That job would be for your future mentor. As a new student, one of the professors here will choose you to be his or her apprentice. That professor will be responsible in nurturing you into a fine mage."

The students then grasp in excitement. Almost all of them dreamed to be mentored by an Arch mage, but chances are very slim.

"Then professor, are we free to choose our mentor?" The same student asked.

"No, every one will get a mentor all according to their capabilities. Say you would not want an apprentice whose talents are in healing to a mentor whose specialize in illusion do you? also Arch mage like myself are the ones free to choose which student we will take under our wings."

Steaven clapped his hands then, books appeared on the table in front of the students.

"That book will help you in your journey, read it well and study hard. And here, yesterday you were tested and your mentors are already determined, go and meet them later. That's it for now"

After that Steaven left the room, but before he left. He took one last glance at Isabelle.

"Good for you Isabelle!, we already know yours since yesterday right?!. haahhhh. Since I barely passed the written test the chances of me with professor Celestina is very slim"

"Oh right, he told me to meet him at his office by noon"

"It's alright, we still have plenty of time. Hmm, want to explore Althrea?" Ishkaria Suggested.

"Okay, let's go!" Isabelle nodded in agreement.

The two of them went outside the room and explored the academy. The Library in Althrea is huge. In the middle, The thousands books floated endlessly in spiral, like a vortex. The one who managed the library was Professor Laila and one of her apprentice. Isabelle and Ishkaria observed the spinning books in amazement.

"heyooo, girls. Do you need some help on finding the books your looking for?" Professor Laila approached the two girls. Professor Laila was on her mid 30's but she looked like she was in her early 20's. The two girls looked at the woman before them and could not take their eyes away from her.

"Ahem" Laila cleared her throat to grab the attention of the two girls and fixed her glasses

"Uhm, no professor. We were just looking and curious on how this thing works" Isabelle pointed at the spinning vortex of books.

"Ah that? well it's rather simple. This area is powered with magic not just an ordinary magic you see. It's powered by a huge mana stone below Althrea. To find the book you were looking for. Simply think of that particular book then conjure just tad of your mana into your hands"

Ishkaria and Isabelle looked at each other then nodded. Both Ishkaria and Isabelle wants to try it. Ishkaria goes first. She thought of the book that she was looking for and conjured a bit little mana into her hands. One of the books glowed then fell into Ishkaria's hands. It worked!

"WOAH! I did not expect this book to be in here!" Ishkaria happily grabbed the book.

"oh nice! what is that book anyways" Isabelle looked at the book Ishkaria is holding. The book was entitled. <After pain comes pleasure>

'This Elf!' Isabelle didn't think that this kind of book was in Althrea. After that, it was Isabelle's turn. This should be an easy task, but for Isabelle, concerning magic, even the easiest can be a nightmare. Isabelle raised her arm and started to conjure mana into it.

'Please, any book. Any book at all!" very little mana started to gather into her hands and book glowed and fell in front of her.

"It worked!" Isabelle jumped in joy, for Isabelle it was a huge success. Ishkaria also celebrated with Isabelle.

"You did it Isabelle!"

"Hmm!" Isabelle hummed in joy. She then grabbed the book that was in front of her.

<Ways to please your man>

"Oyaaa, Isabelle. I didn't know you were into this" Ishkaria grinned at Isabelle when she saw the title of the book. Isabelle's face and pointy ears blushed.

Isabelle: Kill me now ｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡
