Erwin stood in front of the library building of Vasmorth Academy, contemplating whether he should enter without permission. As he watched people come out of the building, some looking weary and others joyful, he muttered to himself, "Should I go in without her permission?" He gazed up at the imposing structure, weighing his options.
Erwin had been standing there for at least five minutes, weighing his options. He had woken up early in the morning, eager to begin his day, only to find that Kael had already left for some unknown destination. So he had made his way to the dining hall, where he had been served a tasteless rice porridge that did little to satisfy his hunger.
Determined to make the most of his day, he set off to find Adelaide, hoping to gain her permission to use the library and engage in some morning activities. But his efforts had been in vain. Adelaide was nowhere to be found, and even her assistants were absent from their room.
Now Erwin stood in front of the impressive library building, contemplating whether to enter without permission. He knew that Adelaide wouldn't punish him for reading a book. As a slave, Erwin knew that he had to be cautious about breaking any rules. He had heard horror stories about slaves who had been punished severely for the most minor of transgression.
"Perhaps I can offer my body as penance for my mistakes," Erwin thought to himself as he contemplated the situation. "But Adelaide is a slut. She won't punish me too harshly if she finds out that I went to the library without permission and accept my body as payment for my mistake, which I am eager to pay."
Despite his reservations, Erwin took a deep breath and mustered up the courage and begin to enter the library without permission.
Erwin approached the entrance, he noticed two stone gargoyles guarding the door. They had a menacing look on their faces, as if daring anyone to try and enter without permission. Erwin wondered if they were just for show or if they could come to life and start hurling insults at him.
Once inside, Erwin was greeted by towering bookshelves that seemed to go on forever. The books themselves looked like they had been crafted by the most talented of wizards, emitting a glow that could only come from the pages of enchanted literature. Erwin inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of old parchment mixed with the smell of magical power.
As he made his way through the library, he couldn't help but notice that some of the books seemed to be alive. They whispered to each other, some even chuckling as if they were sharing a joke. Erwin couldn't help but wonder if they were discussing the latest gossip from the magical world or making fun of him for being a mere mortal.

He knew that the books contained within held secrets and knowledge beyond his wildest imagination, and he couldn't wait to dive into them all, as long as the gargoyles didn't come to life and start hurling books at him.
Erwin's eyes darted around the shelves as he searched for the section on the beginner's magic. He muttered to himself, "Come on, where are you hiding, you elusive little books?" Suddenly, he spotted a librarian, a middle-aged man with a twinkle in his eye, shelving books nearby.
"Excuse me, sir," Erwin said, hoping not to startle the man. "I'm new here, and I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the books for beginner mages?"
The librarian smiled warmly. "Of course," he replied. "We have a wonderful selection of books on magic for beginners. They are located on the first floor, just over there," he gestured towards a section of the library.
Erwin thanked the librarian and made his way to the first floor. He found the section on beginner magic and began to peruse the titles. As he was reading, he noticed a sign that read "All books must be read within the library. No books may be taken home."
Erwin approached the librarian once again. "I noticed the sign of not being able to take the books home. Does that mean I cannot make copies of them, either?"
The librarian chuckled. "No," he said. "You are more than welcome to make copies of the books. But please only make copies of the books present on the first floor. The more advanced books on the upper levels are not to be copied without permission. And only the teacher or students of the academy are permitted to go there."
Erwin thanked the librarian once again and continued his search for the perfect beginner's book on magic.
He took the book off the shelf and sat down at a nearby table to begin reading. As he flipped through the pages, he realized that this book was perfect for him.
Chapter 1: Introduction to mana
Erwin dove into the first chapter of the book with enthusiasm, eager to learn about the intricacies of mana and how to harness its power.
Mana, as described in the first chapter of the book, is a fundamental concept in the world of magic. It is an invisible, magical energy that flows through all living beings and objects. According to the book, every mage has their own reservoir of mana, which they can tap into performing magic.
The book goes on to explain that mana is not infinite, and that a mage must be careful not to deplete their mana reserves too quickly. It is also noted that mana can be affected by emotions, with negative emotions such as anger or fear having the potential to disrupt a mage's ability to use magic.
The chapter provides detailed information on the various ways mana can be used, including casting spells, creating magical constructs, and imbuing objects with magical properties. The book emphasizes the importance of proper mana control and management in order to become a successful mage.
Overall, the first chapter of the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the concept of mana in the world of magic, outlining its significance and the ways in which it can be harnessed to perform powerful spells and enchantments.
As he delved into the book, he found himself getting increasingly engrossed, which was unusual for him. Typically, his mind would be preoccupied with other thoughts whenever he started to read something, like which girl's breasts are bigger and which will let him suck them.
Erwin's attention was solely fixated on the contents of the book until his concentration was disrupted by two sweet giggling sounds. He quickly turned around to locate the source and noticed two young girls perusing through the books on a nearby shelf. Unaware of Erwin's presence, they continued to talk in hushed voices.
The first girl whispered, "Smira, there's no one around. Let's go before someone catches us."
Erwin couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation, wondering what they were up to.
"Thelma, I don't feel good today. Can we do it some other time?" Smira spoke, her voice hesitant and reluctant to go along with her friend's plans.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"But we might not have another chance." Thelma insisted. "I've been waiting for this moment for weeks. Are you sure you don't want to do it now?"
Erwin's curiosity piqued at their cryptic conversation. He wondered what they were referring to and what they were planning to do. He debated whether to approach them or not, but decided against it. Instead, he continued to observe them from a distance, trying to catch any clues about their intentions.
Smira hesitated for a moment before finally giving in. "Fine, but let's make it quick."
Erwin watched as they left the book on the shelf and quickly made their way towards the deeper library. He couldn't help but wonder what they were up to and why they seemed so secretive about it. With his curiosity piqued, Erwin closed the book he was reading and followed them deeper into the library, determined to find out what they were hiding.
Smira asked Thelma with a worried expression on her face, "Can we please not go there today?"
Thelma inquired, "Why are you so afraid? We usually go there. Why so hesitant today?"
"I don't know. I am not feeling good today," Smira replied.
Thelma rolled her eyes. "You're always so paranoid, Smira. We'll be fine. Besides, I don't want to miss this opportunity."
Erwin continued to follow them, staying out of sight as they made their way through the stacks of books. He couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and unease about their conversation.
He trailed behind them; he wondered about their motives and what they could be hiding. His mind raced with the possibilities, and a perverse smile formed on his lips as he thought, 'What are they trying to do in secret? Could it be what I'm thinking? If so, I want a front-row seat to watch.'
Erwin's thoughts took a lascivious turn, and he couldn't resist the temptation to satisfy his prurient curiosity. He followed the girls cautiously, making sure not to draw their attention. As he trailed them, he observed their behavior, and it became evident that they were hiding something.
As they turned the corner, they arrived at a secluded area of the library. However, Erwin accidentally knocked over some books from the shelves, alerting the girls to his presence. With quick reflexes, he caught the books before they made a sound, trying his best to remain unnoticed by the girls.
He held his breath and carefully peeked at the girls again, only to be confused by what he saw.
