Mia thought about it for a while before giving Xander an answer. Xander wasn't the brightest person when it came to academics but he was quite knowledgeable about abilities it seemed. He would have to be because of the type of ability he had.
"I was trying to decide what ability to get since I turned down the school's offer and I want it to be a strong one that's why I'm also looking at these war books."
"Oh right, I forgot about that, I thought you might have been one of those Hunters who hate abilities. Turns out you just didn't want to be a dog to the military." Xander replied, "Well is there anything specific you're looking for?"
"Not really, I have no clue. There was one that said something interesting though, have you ever heard of an ability that is weaker in sunlight."
Xander suddenly started to laugh out loud.
"What are you crazy, I've never heard of something like that. Abilities are something our bodies learn. Sure some people have limits and can't learn stronger spells or can do less than others but for one to get weaker because of the sun. Sounds like you're a Vampire or something."
Mia felt a little embarrassed by Xander's reaction. Of course, Mia knew this would be the normal reaction when asking something like this but it was true. As long as Mia was in direct sunlight all of her stats would weaken by half.
Mia continued to look around the library to see if there was anything else she could find. She had finally gone through every single one of the ability books he could find but there was nothing, she also read some things from the war books, but she kept it till later for further reading. Mia then looked up at the floor above where there were some second-year students.
"Maybe there's something up there but I can't imagine what the academy would do to me for breaking the rules." Mia thought.
As Mia continued to walk around the library, she had eventually ventured into the fiction section and her eyes were drawn to something.
A specific title of a book named "The Truth about Vampires."
Mia took out the book and gave it a quick look. Vampires were things of fairy tales, myths even. Even when people started to come out with powers, there was not one person who came out claiming to be a vampire.
Mia couldn't help herself but start to read the book. It was a long shot but maybe she would find something she could relate to.
After reading and skimming through the book, Mia found most of it was useless. A lot of the things that Vampires did, didn't relate to her at all. Vampires were required to eat human blood. Some could transform themselves into bats and cast illusions. While others were incredibly skilled with the sword and hypnosis but Mia had none of these things.
The only thing she could relate to in the book was being weaker in the sun. Eventually, Mia decided to close the book and call it a day. It didn't seem like she was going to find anything from the first floor of the library.
As soon as Mia closed the book though. A familiar sound was heard.

"It couldn't be, could it?"
