Rebirth Of The Heroine

Chapter 123: The Library

After Mia had finished unpacking, she was free to do what she wanted for the rest of the day. It was still noon so she had plenty of time to explore the academy to do what she wanted.

Mia was currently sharing her room with two people and to her surprise, she knew both of them. One of them was Xander while the other was Robin. There were three single beds in the room each spread out from one another but other than that the room was pretty empty.

Students were expected to spend most of their time studying or practicing their skills, there was no time for pleasure.

"What do you guys want to do then?" Xander asked.

"I'm still unpacking, you two don't have to wait for me, do what you want," Robin replied, still wondering why they had to put a female up with them in a room.

Robin had opened up a little to the two of them, at first he was completely shy and hardly said a word but slowly Robin seemed to be coming out of his shell especially around Mia. Robin most likely felt comfortable around Mia knowing that she was a level 1 ability user like himself, even though she is a female.

"I was thinking of heading to the library," Mia replied, "that will probably be too boring for you."

"Boring, I can make anything fun, besides I haven't read a book in…" Xander paused for a while. "I can't even remember the last time I read a book."

The three of them laughed and then Xander and Mia decided to head to the library together. Finally, they had arrived and the first floor was already busy with students. Mia noticed that there were multiple round desks spread out where students were sitting and In the middle of the desk was a glowing orb.

"Ahh, you're probably wondering what that Orb thing is in the middle aren't you?" Xander asked, "It looks like they don't have them at public schools. If you touch the orb, then it allows you to create a space, in that space, only those people who have been invited can be heard. This way people are able to talk and chat as much as they want while not disturbing others."

"Technology sure has come a long way."

Mia and Xander then chose a table that had two other people sitting on the other side. Just as Xander had said, Mia could see the two talking but couldn't hear a word of what they were saying. The orb seemed to only have a range of the table though. Once you left the table others were able to hear you as normal.

Mia went looking around the library and picked out as many books as she could about abilities and about the war that had happened. Most of them describing what different types of abilities the world had. Xander wasn't too bothered and decided to just select a random fiction book to read.

The two sat at their tables while Mia started to flick away. After reading several books Mia had discovered nothing new. He already knew about most of the abilities written in the book but not one of them mentioned an ability like Hers.

Xander had been keeping a close eye on Mia and noticed the type of books she had been picking out.

"What's with all the books, are you looking for something in particular?"
