Library - Magic Attempt

"Really? Led nii-san?"

"Yes, Kuro. I have gotten the permission from the principal and the library manager. Since you're a 3 years old child, you also don't have to pay..., you can't borrow a book though."

"Thank you Led nii-san! Love you!!"

Kuro rushed out from the orphanage as he ran toward the library.

'Hey what was that, Kuro. What do you mean love you? Ahhhh, I feel embarrassing.(21)'

'I agree with 21. What was that?(17)'

'but... Nii-chan was the only person who treated me well...(3)'

'...(21)(17)'

17 changed the discussion quickly.

'Speaking of library. It's a good opportunities to know more about this world. Also go for the languages book first. We're going to learn the language no matter how small it is used from or how big.(17)'

'Sure!(3)'

'Languages, huh...(21)'

'but isn't learning languages a little bit difficult? besides, why do we need to learn all languages? Isn't it just fine with Viran, Elvin, Maoul and Manafic?(21)'

21 tries to avoid the studying.

'It's just language. in different word, memorizing puzzle game. While the easier one can be learned within a day, the hardest one shouldn't take half a-week or more.(17)'

'What the... hey 17, what were you doing in your past life...(21)'

'Nothing. I was just playing a game with 2 siblings.(17)'

'Wait, who is that siblings? Don't tell me, is it " "?(21)'

'Oh. You know them? Were we in the same world with different timeline? If that was the case... then doesn't that mean I was a clone of yours!?!?!?(17 clone)'

'No, no. The world you were in was a fiction world in my place. So, I knew about you... So, you fought them? How many times did you won?(21)'

'I fought them a multiples times. Around, 1,598,241 times; 0 wins, 1,498,038 loses, 100,203 draws.(17 not clone)'

'Wha- you know what, I am not even getting surprised anymore.(21)'

21 gave up as Kuro joined up.

'What kind of games were Mr.17 did with... blank??(3)'

'Hmm... Many games! firstly, let's talk about the first time I met them...(17)'

-----

When Kuro arrived to the library, 17 was still talking about [My Game With Blank Volume 21: Growth]

'So with that, I showed-off the skill I took from Sora and he even had a surprised face as if he wasn't expecting me to read him, though it was just an fluke... Oh, we arrived to the place. Let's enter.(17)'

'God it finally ended.(21)'

Apparently, 17 was talking faster than an machine gun could fire.

The outer looks of the library didn't seem as big as what Kuro expected—rather, it was too small that Kuro can't have the impression that it holds a lot of books.

but upon entering it, he seemed to pass an invisible barrier as the room suddenly gets bigger.

Advancing past it while taking a look at the bunch of books in the bookshelves, Kuro stopped at the mid points.

he noticed that it was the middle place in the building because of the enormous big circle designed in the middle as the library manager was sitting reading the book.

Different from his impression, this book manager wasn't as old as Kuro thought. in contrast, he was a young—young enough for him to usually work in some companies or serves some military judging the current age he was in.

"Excuse me, Mister?"

"Oh, you have arrived. Feel free to read books. Just don't get noisy."

Saying this word, his sights went back to the book.

'I see. That invisible barrier is something like a rune that detects people who have brought the books without this manager's permission.(17)'

'No wonder he seems uncaring about the surrounding. Besides, there doesn't seem to be much people in this place.(21)'

'Let's go read a book!!(3)'

Kuro seemed to be excited. Everyone was like that at the first time even if they heard that they were going to study in school.

Excluding 17.

'Hah... Hah... Finally done. We can take a break, right?(21)'

'What are you saying? didn't we just take a break 11 hours ago? besides, isn't it just Nekongue? Come on. Let's try Maoul this time so that even if the On- White-haired big sister came, we can communicate with her.(17)'

'Communicate with Ojou... Communicate with Ojou... OHHHHHHHH WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! LET'S LEARN MAOUL!(21)'

'You're surprisingly simple, aren't you?(17)'

'Always has been.(21)'

'Always has been...?(3)'

'Nothing. Let's go.(21)'

'but before that... it's time to return to orphanage...(3)'

Kuro looked at the clocks—it was already 5:00 PM.

'Hmm... alright. let's go back to orphanage for now.(17)'

'Eh? We're not learning Maoul?(21)'

'There's that guy who just complained to take a break.(17)'

Kuro bowed to the library manager: Zhang Xuan and exited the huge library.

The outer look and the inside room is really so different that he can hardly get used to it.

'Kuro. Let's try it.(17)'

'Un.(3)'

"O' great goddess of wind; Sinorea. Please lend this one the power to travel faster—to bring the greater changes in earth: Wind Boost!"

The feeling of mana being controlled and the magic circle was made under Kuro.

Just when he thought that the magic was successfully activated, there was one invisible wall that prevented his magic circle to active despite the mana being leaded rightly.

'Another failure huh?(21)'

'It seems...(17)'

This was the case for the past. He have tried for the Fire, Water, Earth Elements magic. All of them was the same.

At first activation, everything seemed to go in the right direction; the magic circle was created, the mana was leaded—but just when the incantation failed, the magic circle vanishes without a trace and the mana returns back to its sources, heart.

On the 2nd activation, the magic circle won't even be activated even though he can move his mana.

"Shitty world."

Kuro couldn't help but shout in the sky—as if the heavens heard his insult, heaven summoned a golden lightning and strike it to Kuro.

Inside the library, Zhang Xuan changes his focus as he rushed to the outside.

"Child!!"

Moving at the speed that seemed to far surpass the light <- shitty description

he covered Kuro, which he was strangely unscratched.

"Tha- thank you, mister."

"Can't keep a costumer die outside my library. It will bring a bad reputation... Kid, don't shout to sky like that. This world's god is petty. he can't help but miss a single insult to him."

"Ye, yes..."

'WHAT WAS THAT!?(17)'

'Damn didn't expect this world to be too similar to cultivation world.(21)'

'Cultivation World?(17)'

'It's a little bit complicated. Anyway. it's good that this guy saved us or else, we wouldn't even be left with an ash... maybe.(21)'

3 souls(?) inside Kuro sighed in relief.
