Different POV

Felix and Robert started their shift by standing in front of the Library's door.

Overall, their job is pretty simple:

- Prevent suspicious individuals from entering the Library without permission.

- Enforce law and order in the vicinity.

- Follow the orders of anyone with The Library's Emblem.

Since the time Felix and Robert got this job, They have never faced any trouble, however, That was about to change today.

Being Elite Knights, Robert, and Felix were capable of perceiving auras.

Of course, They distinguished the auras of those who usually come to the library during their shifts, as well as the auras of both The Librarian - The Master - and The Young Master.

Since almost no one comes to the library at dawn, it was quite rare for them to sense an unfamiliar aura within their Domain at this time.

But today, things deviated from the norm.

Suddenly, Felix and Robert looked at each other in confusion, each one silently asking the other, Did you sense that just now?

They both sensed it at the same time, A Knight with a mysterious aura was rapidly approaching, he was 200 meters away.

Normally, That wouldn't be an issue and they'd just wait until they saw the person, but the aura was coming too fast.

It was as if whoever that was wanted to break into the library rather than just enter it.

150 Meters

125 Meters

The aura was still rapidly approaching them.

By now, They confirmed it. Whatever was coming was indeed coming toward the Library.

Following the protocol, they decided to send a warning signal to the individual.

Felix and Robert simultaneously released an oppressive aura.

Normally, whoever was coming wouldn't expect that.

The oppressive aura would both surprise and pressure him, forcing him to stop, and then the Library Guards would approach him to inquire about his suspicious behavior.

75 Meters

60 Meters

The aura was still rapidly approaching!

This meant that whoever was coming didn't get affected in the least by the oppressive aura they released!

According to the protocol, There was only one reason for such behavior

- The person is ready for combat, and aggressive auras won't faze him.

 That left only one option for the guards

20 Meters

Felix and Robert narrowed their eyes

15 Meters

Felix signaled to Robert to stay at the door and Robert nodded

13 Meters

Felix prepared to attack

12 Meters

Felix exploded forward

11 Meters

Felix closed the distance and was able to see the target

10 Meters

A blow to the head resulted in an immediate knockout

"Target stunned successfully" Felix declared.

Robert came to him to check on the target.

The Knight was on the floor face down, and as soon as Robert saw him he became confused

"A half-naked Knight? And why is he so ... Short?"

Felix bent down and flipped the body to get a look at his face and that's when his eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped

"What in the world!"

"H - How?"

Both became astounded and froze for a second, Then Felix quickly came back to reality

"Let's take him inside, come."

Luckily for them, it was still too early and no one saw the disaster they committed, and except for The Librarian, no one was inside the library.

Felix and Robert carried the unconscious body and quickly took him inside the library,

Robert asked in a low, worried voice

"Now what?"

"I don't know ... Let's just take him to The Master"

Robert nodded and they both carried him and walked toward The Librarian's desk

The Librarian was, as usual, behind his desk and reading a book.

While Arno was reading, he noticed two guards carrying what looked like an unconscious teen and coming to his desk.

He wasn't able to see the teen's face from where he was, but he was able to see the aura.

Without removing his eyes from the book Arno asked

"Do you think this is an infirmary? What are you doing?"

Felix and Robert became flustered, They got nervous whenever they were around Arno.

However, Felix was too worried about his job to care about such things right now

"No, Master, It's not what it looks like, It's the Young Master"

When Arno heard that he was surprised

'How can that be Leus? .....'

Nevertheless, he cleared the desk and said

"Bring him here"

They did as instructed, put the passed-out Leus on the desk, and stepped aside.

Arno couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise

"Haaa! .."

He has seen a lot in his life, Yet, This didn't make any sense.

'How can someone's aura change so drastically in just a few days'

Arno forgot about the standing guards and just kept staring at Leus, inspecting and deeply analyzing his aura

'There certainly are resemblances, But his aura has darkened considerably, Some parts have also ... Solidified?'

Arno spent far too much time staring at Leus' aura, so Felix called him in a weak, low tone

"Master?"

Felix was worried Arno might fire him over his mishap, But Arno just gave him an irritated look and said

"Huh? What are you still doing here, Go back where you should be"

And continued inspecting Leus.

Felix just stood there stupefied but Robert quickly dragged him and took him back to their position

As soon as they went back Robert sighed in relief and said

"Whew, Looks like we survived this"

Felix was still confused about the whole ordeal

"What is even going on ... It's the Young Master and his emblem but not the Young Master's aura ... How does that make any sense, Also, Did you see how he didn't care about us at all?"

Robert replied in a calm tone

"As long as we get to keep our job, it's all good."

Felix felt guilty about hitting Leus, To him Leus was still just a young kid, But honestly, Deep inside him, He agreed with Robert, And just continued his shift in silence.

'Maybe Arleen is right, I should try to communicate with him more.'

'If the chance ever arises, I'll make up for the punch'
