Chapter 194: A Night at the Library

The experiences and personality shaped by her past life made Lolan Hill unable to ignore things she saw. But since she had seen them, she wanted to do her best to help, even if it was just a little.

Perhaps she couldn’t change the world, but she hoped that those around her, those she encountered, could live better. This was a small wish deeply rooted in her heart.

She didn’t seek any return, nor did she do it for self-satisfaction. She simply wished for the world to treat her kindly, so she would also treat the world kindly. This simple thought.

Moreover, seeing those around her achieve their wishes filled her heart with a faint, overflowing happiness.

Perhaps she could gain such happiness too.

—

Pulling Kalvra, Lolan Hill first returned to her dormitory, picked up her books and notes, and then went to a secluded spot in the park.

Holding her books in her pocket, Lolan Hill asked, “Kalvra, are you ready?”

“How do I prepare?” Kalvra looked at this girl like a black lotus and asked.

“Then hold onto my hand,” Lolan Hill extended her slender wrist.

Kalvra carefully held onto her beautiful hand, then—

The wind blew—

Light as a swallow, the scenery around her rapidly receded. The fresh air rushed down from above, and trees, the park, the academy, earth, clouds—all were left behind.

Lolan Hill flew with Kalvra’s hand in the layers of clouds, in the sky, under the moonlight.

The slightly cold atmosphere was like the freshest air in the world, washing away the previous oppression, troubles, anxieties, leaving everything behind, making her body and mind feel empty and clear.

The wind circled around her, hair danced by her ears, the vast sky, the distant earth, everything was so grand and magnificent.

Kalvra looked at the girl holding her wrist, wearing a pure white dress, black hair, and a face illuminated by moonlight. The most beautiful things in the world were no more than this.

This night flying under the moon became one of the most beautiful memories of her life.

—

The long dress slowly fell with the air, light shoes touched the slightly cool stone, Lolan Hill landed first, then let Kalvra slowly land with the airflow.

“We’ve arrived.”

The voice of the black-haired girl sounded softly by her ear.

传来, at this moment, Cafra reluctantly released her grip on the wrist, turned her head to survey the surroundings. This place was somewhere in the north of Emanas, likely atop a high tower.

“This is the Observation Tower Academy’s library. Even at night, it remains open for studying.”

“But we are only freshmen, not students of the High Tower Academy,” Cafra asked softly.

“It’s not a problem. Long-term visits might not be allowed, but staying for just one day should be fine.”

Loran Hill knocked on the closed stone door; they were at the top floor of the library. The stone door opened, and a duty teacher looked out at the two girls with confusion.

“Sorry, teacher. It’s so late, can we use the self-study room in the library? Can you let us in?”

“Are you freshmen?” The teacher looked at the badges on Loran Hill and Cafra’s chests, questioning. In his mind, he wondered how they had arrived so late and so far from the central school buildings.

“Yes, we just need to borrow it for one night. A friend just started school, and some parts of the courses feel quite challenging, causing much anxiety.”

Upon hearing the word “friend,” Cafra’s heart stirred slightly. She hadn’t heard that word in a long time.

“But…” The teacher was about to refuse, but then saw Loran Hill holding up a peculiarly shaped book with intricate and beautiful patterns on its cover. He changed his mind.

“It’s not impossible.” The teacher stepped aside, allowing the two students standing in the cold to enter.

“Go to that small room across the way. That room is quieter and has a fireplace,” the teacher kindly suggested, pointing in a direction.

“Thank you, teacher.” Both girls bowed in gratitude and headed towards the small study room.

Creak—

The thick wooden door opened, revealing a modest-sized room before them.

The flames in the fireplace were somewhat weak but still burning, with a few dark red coals inside. The wall by the window was made of stone blocks, through which a small circular window could be seen, showing the distant mountains and moonlight. Near the fireplace was a small square table with six empty chairs around it. On the other side of the wall, there were two low bookshelves, scattered with some books and notebooks.

Loran Hill lit the candleholder on the table, illuminating the entire room, and placed a kettle over the fire in the fireplace. Then she gestured for Cafra to sit down.

“Take out your books first. Mark any unclear points, and I’ll make a fire.”

Below, after that, I will come and tutor you.”

“Alright.” Kafra sat on a somewhat rough wooden chair. The chairs were simple in design but made of very sturdy material, providing great stability when seated, giving one a sense of security.

After putting down her book, Lolan Hill also sat down nearby.

Kafra was initially worried about making mistakes because some questions seemed basic, but Lolan Hill didn’t mind at all. Not only did she explain each question thoroughly, moving from basic to advanced concepts, but she also shared related knowledge with her.

As their discussion deepened, Kafra gradually relaxed and her thoughts became clearer. In reality, she wasn’t unintelligent; rather, she lacked systematic learning methods. She tried to remember everything but hadn’t categorized or summarized things properly.

The teachers at the previous public school mostly taught by rote, lacking deeper understanding themselves. This resulted in many foundational errors in her knowledge, making subsequent learning difficult.

Rather than being surprised at how hard she found learning now, it was more astonishing that despite such a weak foundation, she still managed to keep up with the geniuses at Emanas, which was quite rare.

Under the warm yellow candlelight, Lolan Hill helped Kafra rebuild her entire knowledge system from scratch. With a long pen, she wrote out various branches and structures in her notes, drawing vivid diagrams to aid Kafra’s memory.

Under the warm yellow candlelight, the shadows flickered.

Once they entered a state of concentration, time seemed to fly by. When the library clock chimed, they realized that the sky outside had already begun to brighten.

“The sky has lightened; let’s stop here for now.”

After summarizing for Kafra, Lolan Hill handed her the notes.

“Are these for me? But you…”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already memorized them. Also, this is a gift for you.”

Lolan Hill somehow produced a piece of candy wrapped in white paper, with the wrapper tied into a butterfly shape, quite adorable.

“Even though you drank a lot of tea last night, still eat this. You shouldn’t feel sleepy during class today, but make sure to rest well tonight.”

“Thank you, Lolan.”

Unaware of the preciousness of the candy, Kafra peeled off the wrapper to reveal a small square piece of golden maple sugar. She placed it in her mouth, feeling sweetness spread through her mouth, and a warm flow of magic entered every corner of her body.
