Chapter: 30

‘...Yes.’

He could heal in a day thanks to Nano, but that was top secret.

‘Yes, he is right. If I’m to move forward onto the next step, I will need internal energy and... oh!’

He then thought of something he had forgotten up until now.

“I forgot. I heard that if I pass the first test, I will be given the medicine ball and access to the first floor of the academy’s library.”

There were various books on the first floor of the library that would be pretty helpful.

“Hahahahaha!”

Submeng then burst out in laughter and Yeowun was startled.

“I would do that too, but it seems like the redhead skipped real important one there.”

“What? What did he skip?”

“It doesn’t mean that you are always allowed to enter the library. You can only enter once after every test.”

“What?”

That was far from having full access to it.

“All those important books are in there. Do you think you will be able to freely access such a place?”

Submeng was amused by Yeowun’s shocked reaction and continued, “You can only stay on the first floor for two hours. And as you move higher up, you will be given more time because the books on those floors are complicated, but you still don’t have enough time.”

“So, there’s a time limit too? How exciting.”

“Not to mention, you cannot copy any of the content down. It’d be good if you could memorize maybe one book or two. Most use all the time available trying to find the book they want.”

This was vital information that Hameng did not share. If people entered the library without knowing this, they’d frantically waste their time until it was over.

‘But I have Nano.’

Yeowun then realized he had the Nano Machine, which could scan a book in seconds.

‘This actually works better for me!’

Two hours was probably enough for him to even scan hundreds of books. The information Submeng gave to Yeowun so that he would feel discouraged actually worked in the opposite way. Submeng did not know this, so he thought it was about the right time.

“So, a kid like you has a limit to how far you can go without any help.”

Most students who entered the academy were trained in their family martial arts at least. Yeowun thought for a second and asked, “The paper... is it the Breath of Internal Energy?”

‘I threw the bait, and you bit it!’

He was glad that Yeowun had caught on, but he acted like he wasn’t excited.

“Heh, so you are not all that dumb.”

“Why are you...”

“If you become my apprentice, I will teach you the Breath of Internal Energy for the first lesson.”

Yeowun was tempted. He had longed for it, but he couldn’t learn it because of the oath. Submeng then knew his offer had worked.
