Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Chapter 29: Reward

Alec and Carcel while walking met up with Lara and Mia and they started talking and walking together.

Girl's dorms were in another building, that's why the four of them didn't meet up in the morning.

Kyle who was walking beside them, increased his speed after seeing Lara. He wanted to leave the group to avoid being uncomfortable, but because Alec's character was quite nice he just increased the distance.

Soon there were three different groups of students, following the old man. In the front, Kyle and Nine were quietly following behind the old man. In the middle, Jake one of the top ten students was walking with three other students. And at the end, Alec and his group were talking while slowly following behind everyone.

After a while, they arrived in front of the library.

The Librarian who was sleeping without any care sensed the old man's presence. He immediately rushed out and greeted the old man politely.

"Elder Lu, What brings you here."

The Librarian glanced at the students standing behind Elder Lu. He showed a puzzled expression. Why was the elder here with some students?

Seeing the Librarian's confused expression Elder Lu merely shook his head. Elder Lu knew about this lazy man very well, he must have been sleeping and had forgotten about the rewards for the top ten students.

"I am here to open the other half of the second floor of the library, so the students can choose a reward for themselves."

Elder Lu ignored the Librarian and directly entered the library. He didn't want to waste any more time.

After hearing an answer from Elder Lu, the Librarian nodded and hurriedly followed behind.

Soon, they arrived at the second floor filled with huge bookshelves containing Art books and Skill Cores. But before the students could look around Elder Lu gestured for them to follow him toward a corner.

Elder Lu used a hand seal on the bookshelves present in the corner, almost all the students were confused. What was the elder doing, were not they already on the second floor? They wanted to question but suddenly a magic symbol appeared. The two bookshelves present at the far end parted like a door, making a huge gap in between.

Everyone stared at the gap stunned, they were not looking at the gap but at the room present inside the gap. The room was filled with different Art books floating midair. Bright lights emitting from skill cores illuminated the whole room. The room in front of them was double the size of the second floor! And all the skills core and Art books in front of them seem to be top-notch!

Elder Lu turned around and faced the students, he told everyone to go inside and select an Art or skill. Also, they were allowed to pick only one within two hours.

All the students nodded seriously before entering the room. All this time the Librarian was lazily standing behind everyone and even after seeing the room filled with skills and Arts he didn't show any expression. It was understandable as he had seen this room more than 1000 times, and also because the things present here were of no use to him.

The Librarian lazily looked at the students who were entering the room with excitement, but suddenly his eyes passed on a student who didn't seem to be in a rush. The Librarian's eyes widen for a while displaying shock.

'Is not he the student I threw out a week ago? I remember he was only at (-F)-Rank. How did he advance so quickly.' Thought the Librarian inwardly before fixing his gaze on Kyle.

The librarian was lazy but his memory was quite good. He remembered clearly this guy was only at (-F)-Rank just a week ago. And not just at any (-F)-Rank, he was from the batch of the weakest (-F)-Rank the Librarian has seen up until now. How was it possible for him to advance so quickly? And from the Aura, he sensed from Kyle, the librarian was sure his Rank had already stabilized.

It was okay to Advance 2 sub-ranks in a week but how did he stabilize his Rank, for a normal person after breaking through it could take months of practice just to stabilize their new power.

The Librarian curiously looked at Kyle. He inwardly decided to keep an eye on this fellow.

On the other hand, Kyle who just entered the hidden room felt like someone was looking at him from behind with ill intentions. He turned around to see who it was but found no one.

Kyle frowned but still, he decided to focus on the hundreds of skills and Art in front of him. He was excited just like everyone but he just didn't show it on his face.

He looked at the others, they all went toward the Skill cores. It was bound to happen as everyone already had an Art they were practicing.

Arts were different from skills that can be learned immediately after absorbing the skill core. Arts were written down by elders and passed down from generation to generation. They were also very hard to practice, which is why everyone usually only preferred a single Art suitable for their weapon. Also, their mastery was divided into four different grades according to the progress someone had made,

1-Beginner,

2-Master,

3-Expert,

4-perfection,

Reaching the perfection stage in Art was very hard. And the higher the Star of the Art, the harder it is to comprehend.

Kyle took a deep breath and began searching for a suitable sword Art for himself. He was a little shocked to see so many 3-star and 4-star sword Arts.

Arts were Ranked differently according to their power. The Lowest was 1-Star while the highest Rank was 8-Star, but not many have seen an 8-Star Art because even the most powerful human has only learned a 6-Star Art.

Kyle walked toward the nearest 4-Star floating Art book. The moment he touched the book, it opened up and showed him a detailed explanation of the Art.

Kyle looked at the information and frowned, he left and looked at another 4-star Art book. His frown deepened the more he looked at the Art books.

Outside the hidden room, the Librarian who was keeping an eye on Kyle looked at him with pity. Seeing Kyle going toward the Art section he was sure this fellow needed a suitable Art for himself. And Arts higher than 2-Star were very valuable, a normal person wouldn't even be able to comprehend what was written inside.

The Librarian shook his head with disappointment because seeing Kyle frowning and walking away without even properly looking at the Art books, he was sure Kyle wasn't even able to read the name!

The Librarian wanted to give Kyle some tips, as to what Art would be suitable for him. But unfortunately, according to the rules, Elders were not allowed to step inside the hidden room. He could only sigh and watch Kyle from outside.

Meanwhile, Kyle was frowning looking at the Art books. It was not because he found them hard, but because they were too easy! The moment he opened the 4-Star Art book and looked at the explanation, he comprehended the first stage of the Art!

Kyle wasn't sure if it was okay to just learn them, because he was only allowed to choose one. That's why he was frowning and trying his best not to read too much detail.

He had never seen an Art book before because he was too lazy. That was also the reason he didn't know if they were hard or easy.

He just wanted a suitable Art for himself! What's the point of understanding so many Arts, Even if he comprehends them, without any real practice they are useless.
