Lucky 326
Calix walked around the library and he confirmed one thing, he was underground.
"This library has no door and no window. Just a staircase to the upper floor."
The library was wide and it took him half an hour to explore it. Actually, he took it faster since he had to rescue Lou, but it still took him half an hour. The only answer he found was the stairs to the next upper floor.
"If this library is underground, then the exit is up there..."
Maybe this library had dozens of floors and he was currently in the deepest part. In any case, Calix didn't have the answer. All he had to do was take one step at a time and reach his destination.
"Nyah~"
The small kitten in his hand yawned and closed its eyes. Mera had just been born and he was still tired. Calix looked at the kitten and rubbed its ear, making Mera purr.
"Let's go."
There was no time to hesitate, Calix stepped onto the stairs. He was calm as he reached the next floor.
There was no door and the entrance was wide open. He strolled in and found a few people busily scattering dozens of books on the floor. They seemed to be looking for something.
"Um? Hi? Do you know the way out?"
Calix asked them subconsciously. However, as he studied their appearance, he realized that these people were suspicious. The fact that they were throwing books just to find something was suspicious.
He narrowed his eyes, the books on the ground looked old and dusty. Perhaps they were antique books. But it did not matter, he had to solve this situation first.
"Are you stealing something?"
He grinned, and Mento immediately transformed into a deadly pistol with a silencer.
The suspicious men immediately rushed to cast their spells, but Calix was calm.
"Compared to Minokawa earlier, you are nothing but weaklings. Now, would you mind telling me where I can find the exit?"
He asked them politely while pulling the trigger and making holes in their bodies.

"Tch, I just got here and they already made their move."
Berto Alb's gaze was that of a hawk. His vision scanned the surroundings and deduced the enemy's tactics.
"They created a problem to divert our attention. These Aberrants are nothing more than a distraction. Their real purpose is something else."
Berto looked in the direction of the Ancient Library. He already had an idea of what was going on.
"Council of Torment. They are usually quiet, but whenever they make a move, they always make sure to leave a lot of mess."
The dark organization always killed hundreds, if not thousands, of people whenever they made a move. They love attention and destruction.
Suddenly, as Berto looked around, a huge green bat swooped down to attack him.
Berto just stared and crossed his arms.
"Hell Term Attribute."
He muttered, and the giant bat turned to ash after catching a glimpse of hell.
"Destruction? When it comes to destruction, I'm the best."
His gaze was cold. He checked his phone and contacted his child, texting the child to get to the evacuation area as soon as possible.
"Looks like the kid's okay."
Seeing that his child replied, "I'm fine, Dad." Berto didn't bother to text back. He had a job to do.
He could see hundreds of Vindicators running around, fighting Aberrants. He could even see students who had TAs facing Aberrants.
In this situation, their help was massive. According to the statistics, over ten percent of the population had Term Attributes, and their abilities were sometimes quite problematic. So the only time they could shine was when they faced the flying Aberrants hovering over their land.
-- Boom!
An explosion shook the students, and more Aberrants and TA users shed their blood. The battle intensified, and innocent people began to panic.
"I wonder when he will move."
The situation was under control. The Principal still did not use his OP spell.
Earlier, the night had been lively, even the lights were shining brightly. But now, the university was in chaos. Part of the university had lost electricity due to the Aberrants, causing more people to panic.
In the middle of the storm, Berto went to the famous Ancient Library. The library looked only five meters high. But the underground structure was the true image of the library.
Millions of scrolls and writings were preserved inside the library. Even someone like Berto would have a hard time entering this place.
'Just as I expected, the guards didn't join the battle. They are still protecting the outer part of the library.'
"Sir Alb!"
The guards greeted him as if the environment was relaxed. There was no sign of nervousness, only stern and serious.
"Just call me Berto, I am already retired. I want to talk to the Principal."
"Yes sir."
The guard easily agreed and gave him a special phone that was only meant to contact the Principal.
The phone rang for a few seconds before someone answered.
-- How's retirement?
"When are you going to solve this problem?"
The two asked each other abruptly.
"You know that the Ancient Library has been infiltrated by the Council. What are you going to do about it?"
-- You really are no fun. I heard that you've been lax and friendly these days, I guess you can't trust rumors, huh?
"Principal, I'm serious."
-- Okay, fine.
The voice on the phone could be heard sighing. The principal already knew that Berto was always different when he was working. He was a cold-blooded warrior.
-- The security of the library was weakened. I don't know what happened, but the traps and runic spells aren't working. The library has thousands of treasures, and it's currently unprotected. If someone touches a treasure, the traps and spells will not work.
The Ancient Library was the most protected place in the land, but now it was nothing but an open shed. Anyone who had a teleport could freely enter.
"What do you want me to do?"
-- I want you to eliminate most of the infiltrators but leave at least one or two alive. These people are hard to come by, and we need more information about them.
"Okay. Open the door."
The guards did not think twice and opened the library for him.
[Hello, I just want to promote my other novels:]

2) The only fuel is to use the D.
-This is my most read novel for some obvious reasons, ahem.
3) Reincarnated As A Deadbeat Dad

4) Hollywood What If
- This is actually experimental. I'm not quite sure if I'm going to keep writing this. It depends on how many readers I can get.
