Chapter 36
Every library existed for each grade.
As it is a storage warehouse for magic materials, a huge amount is preserved, so it is divided according to the required courses for each grade.
So, although it was called a library, the number of magic books was rare.
Most magic books are stored in the academy’s central library. Because there were a lot of really important materials there, professors were on duty to keep watch, but
the Every Library for each grade was operated entirely by the students’ autonomy.
The librarians are also in charge of students, and the security guards are also students.
Because the highest class, Experts, monopolized the main seats in the library, the atrocity of restricting entry to commoners could occur.
Ruid came to Every Library Building No. 1 to conduct preliminary research. Hersi and the fox were left behind. Because I’m thinking of doing something a little secret.
A tall male student who spotted Ruid’s eyes widened and hurried over to greet him.
“Ah, Prince Luid. Nice to meet you. “My name is Charon Maximus.”
‘He is the gatekeeper.’
He was a man who would become the first gateway to the commoners.
Ruid recalled the original novel, which felt like going for a boss raid. It’s funny because we are the same student.
“nice to meet you. “Caron.”
“I think this is your first time visiting the library. “Can I guide you?”
Ruid nodded.
“huh.”
“of course. “Please come this way.”
As soon as he went inside, Charon said to a nearby student, “Please give me 10 minutes,” and then walked ahead.
‘…I think I should become a knight instead of a wizard?’
The physique was quite stocky. His actions are closer to those of a knight rather than a magic student.
“There’s no need to be so polite. “We’re in the same grade.”
“Haha, thank you for your words, but I can’t say anything in front of a great nobleman. “The Maximus family are barons.”
It was the academy’s invisible rule. Nobles who are not close friends use respectful terms with each other. Even if we were close friends, there were cases where we didn’t talk to each other depending on our personalities.
I thought that Ruid was living a very troublesome life. But since he said it was more convenient, I had no intention of forcing him.
“This is the study. “It’s not as big as the central library, but it has all the essential books.”
A huge hall on the first floor.
There was a space in the center where you could sit and read books, and the outer edges were densely packed with books.
There was a large desk on the side closest to the entrance. A woman wearing glasses was busily writing something down. Charon guided us there.
“You can apply. “Isabella.”
Isabella was so absorbed in something that she didn’t look up. He said he still didn’t stop writing.
“Ah, yes. What is your name?”
“Luid.”
“Luid… That’s a cool name…”
Isabella’s pen stopped. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Luid.
Charon said with a sigh.
“Do your homework in advance. “The library is not a place to do your homework.”
“D-Delin’s fairy…!”
‘I’m glad you didn’t call me Lazy Ruid.’

There are many different names for oneself, but when I was called Lazy Ruid, I felt like a named monster.
“Register me.”
“Ah, yes, yes!”
Isabella hurriedly took out a board and wrote down Luid’s name.
She looked at Luid with anxiety.
“Um, what is the purpose of using it…?”
“secret.”
“Ah, yes. “Secret…”
Isabella looked at Luid with a blank face. But Ruid was confident.
“It’s a secret, so just write it down.”
Charon nodded and focused his eyes. Isabella hurriedly wrote something down.
“yes…! You’re here to read and collect herbs! “Wow, you’re really intelligent!”
“huh.”
Ruid completed registration without difficulty and walked to the center. Charon followed behind and asked cautiously.
“Should I stop with the guidance here?”
He was concerned about what Ruid said was a secret. I shook my head because I didn’t know the geography of this place.
“Please guide me to the materials room.”
“Yes, I understand.”
‘What is that smell?’
I can’t describe it exactly, but it had a salty, fishy smell, unique to the sea.
Ruid’s eyes scanned the surroundings. Several students who were reading books were pretending not to look at me.
‘commons?’
Ruid’s eyes stopped on a woman. It was Hannah who asked herself questions the other day.
“The material room is over there.”
He pointed to a large staircase in front. Ruid nodded and walked up.
“Didn’t our class take over this library?”
“Oh, you saw it.”
Charon said as if he didn’t like it.
“you’re right. It was to restrict entry to commoners… It was obvious that they would be accused of discriminating against commoners, so the entry requirements were limited to ‘expert class’. As a result, even ordinary people, although very few, can come to the library.”
“…is that okay?”
“yes. The command of the great first emperor was not to discriminate based on status in the land of learning, but there was no mention of not discriminating based on ability. “It’s close, but it’s acceptable.”
Ruid said as he passed by around the corner of the stairs.
“Do you hate commoners?”
Charon answered without hesitation.
“yes.”
“why?”
It was pure curiosity. Charon shook his head.
“I didn’t think much of it when I first enrolled. Rather, I wanted to faithfully follow the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor… But my thoughts changed in less than a week.”
Charon narrowed his eyes as he looked downstairs.
“Do you know what happened at the beginning of the semester, Prince Ruid? “It was a time when commoners could freely enter and exit the library.”
At that time, I was sleeping at the lake in Delrin. It was still the same now.
Ruid shook his head.
“I thought you didn’t know. “Confucius has no interest in the academy.”
They arrived at the material room before they knew it, but Ruid stopped and looked at Charon. I wanted to hear more of the story.
‘I didn’t know there was another reason.’
I only knew about it from the original novel, but I never directly asked why it was limited to commoners.
“tell me. “What happened?”
“I’m sorry if I jumped to conclusions, but… I saw Confucius touching his nose earlier. “That commoner’s smell is probably annoying.”
Ruid felt a pang inside.
I nodded my head slowly.
“Commoners have a strange smell. “The smell is varied, but I can’t describe it… It’s a very disgusting smell.”
That was empathy.
Not all commoners smelled bad.
But most commoners stink.
Unlike nobles, they do not wash.
This is because the practice of washing one’s body using large amounts of water is considered very inefficient by commoners.
In extreme cases, there were commoners who never washed their lives.
On the other hand, the nobles of this world are very clean. Make sure to take a half-body bath at least once a day.
Unlike the ordinary world, it is a world where magic can be used and water can be produced with the hands of a wizard.
Although some of the discerning commoners who came to the Academy washed up easily, it was impossible for the smell that had been engraved on them throughout their lives to disappear overnight.
“Did they decide to kick me out because of the smell?”
“That’s not it. Isn’t that the commoners’ fault? I had no choice but to live like that. “I can borrow books, so all I have to do is leave the room myself.”
“then?”
Charon said, frowning as if he was displeased just thinking about it.
“It’s because of behavior and attitude. They touch books without hesitation with dirty hands. In some cases, soot covers a book and the writing becomes illegible. It’s common to bring snacks from somewhere and not clean them up after eating them, or to borrow books and not return them. “When I pointed out that they shouldn’t do that, they took it as discrimination.”
‘That’s bad.’
Commoners do not learn manners. The academy, which is said to be the only place for education, also meets the minimum admission requirement based on the ‘amount of magic power’. So, I knew there were a lot of self-indulgent commoners, but…
“One day, I opened the book with the third magic written on it, and someone dug up the boogers and buried it. I made a promise while retching in the bathroom. “We should ban commoners from entering.”
When I heard it in person, it was more serious than I thought. Ruid looked at Charon with an expression of extreme disgust. Charon saw the expression and laughed.
“A lot of really shocking things happen. I thought it was an honor to work at Every Library… but I didn’t know that there would be unexpected ambushes. Theft incidents also happen all too often. “I can understand why even seniors oppress commoners.”
Charon stopped and gestured.
“This is the material room. It’s organized by name, so just write your name in the ledger and take it with you. “I’ll just go now.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Charon bowed his head and returned to his original position.
Ruid looked around at the numerous materials piled up in the square wooden compartment.
[A~Z]
I walked to the place where the sign was hung.
“It would be like this.”
The material room was a complex maze. It wasn’t designed to make people lose their way, but to make the most of the space and provide a lot of materials.
I ran into some students who were looking for materials. They bowed and moved quietly.
Ruid went to a place with no people as much as possible. Above the place reached was written:
[Nothing from here.]
“This is the place, right?”
It was a handwriting that looked suspicious to anyone.
But the signs didn’t lie.
Because the wooden compartments that had been full so far were empty.
Ruid stopped at the perfect end point. It was not a square compartment, but a shelf with nameless books on it.
Underneath there were several shabby books tied with string.
A warehouse-like space that no one seems to be using.
Ruid held out his hand.
Magic power flowed.
Coo goo goo- Goo.
It makes a sound like a mechanical device is running.
Squeak—.
I could clearly see that the bookcase that was in the way was slightly open.
“found.”
Ruid entered there with a bright smile on his face.
[There is a secret passage at the end of the Every Library materials room. This is because in the past, Every Library was used as a testing ground for a survival project to operate magic knights.] A
vague description in the original novel.
It’s not that Luid remembers everything, but he definitely remembers important episodes.
Ruid closed the bookshelf door.
A darkness came upon me that I couldn’t even see an inch in front of.
Knock –
I heard the sound of water drops from somewhere. It was a sound heard from the holy relic ‘Glass of Magic’.
Of course, Ruid wasn’t interested in that. Because all he was interested in was the space itself.
“Reveal-”
As Ruid’s voice filled with magic spreads.
The space became brighter with the sound of “Hwareuk”.
It was a transparent space everywhere. A mysterious space that seems to be floating in the air.
On both sides, there were six knight statues mounted on an old-looking black floor. Ruid said while looking at them.
“I’ll be there in a moment.”
“….”
There was no answer. They were a bit quiet friends.
Ruid reached into the air and pulled out a special pillow from subspace.
I threw it on the floor and lay down.
“Okay, this is it.”
This space is a little special.
It was a space designed by the famous archmage Delrin to create a useless secret passage.
A space created by a century-old genius.
It was artistic in itself.
The inside of the library was clearly visible so that I could keep an eye out for enemies while running away.
In fact, the environment of the first floor of the library was clearly visible beneath where Ruid lay prone. If you look up you can see the second floor, and if you look up you can see the third floor.
It is a space where you can see the entire Every Library at a glance. When Ruid looked up, he saw someone’s panties and immediately put his head down.
“…It’s a surprise.”
Anyway, Ruid placed a pillow on his chest and moved his legs up and down.
This is a place where you can clearly see the episode that will unfold this time – yet it does not cause any harm to you.
In other words, it was the eye of a typhoon.
Ruid planned to leisurely watch the progress of the episode here.
