Lisa looked at Vale's back as he entered the second floor of the Library… She felt that Vale had changed a lot after his battle against the Slender Zombie.
She felt worried about his mental health but she also has plenty of other things to worry about so she could only support Vale with little things she could do as a member of the Library Committee.
She had truly done her best searching for clues about the immortals that Vale had mentioned, however, aside from the children's fairytale books, she didn't find any other clues.
She could also suggest to Vale about the Chuch Libraries but he should also be aware that it's almost impossible to enter their library unless he decided to get baptized by the church. In the end, she can only tell Vale to try the second floor of the Academy's library.
'I wonder if he's trying to find a way to become an immortal… Ah... Wait--Did he spend most of his life force to forcefully increase his Spiritual Strength? Is he dying?' Lisa's eyes were filled with worry as she seem to have realized Vale's problem.
It appears that his classmate is finding a way to increase his lifespan all this time! This is a very important matter.
He must've used a forbidden Dark Art to increase his Spirit at such a young age.
'Not good… Should I ask the Club President for help?' Lisa frowned as she recalled their president. The latter knows almost everything about this library except for the fourth floor where only the Professors and those with special privileges were able to enter.
However, the President has a mean personality and it's difficult to request something from him.
After some hesitation, Lisa sighed as she decided to just ask the President… In any case, even though he's quite mean and very difficult to get along with, he's still one of the most knowledgeable students here in the Academy.
***
Vale had no idea what Lisa was thinking about him the moment he left.
He was simply too focused on his task to find clues related to the Immortals. He simply can't let his Divinity Points go to waste. He must find a way to use them and learning about the Immortals might give him some clues.
"Yvaine… Can you tell me about the Immortals if I obtained crucial information about them?" Vale whispered as he stopped in front of the second-floor entrance.
Yvaine is the name of his new Dark Spirit. He gave her a name since he still needed to communicate with her from time to time. She didn't mind having a name so Vale decided to just think of whatever name he could think of.
Yvaine doesn't sound too bad and it also means "evening star" which is quite suited to the beautiful Dark Spirit.
Unsurprisingly, she also has a similar situation to Lotus as she started forgetting some core information about the Spirit World after being sent to Vale.
She only retained some memories that allow her to adapt and survive in this world while accompanying Vale.
Yvaine didn't answer immediately as she considered Vale's words for a moment…
After a while, Yvaine sighed and explained in her cold but attractive voice.
"No… Any information about the Immortals is sealed in my memory. Although I mentioned that I can unlock the seal if I learned about them naturally, it doesn't mean I can tell you about it. There must be a reason it was sealed."
"I understand… If it's like that, then there's still a chance you can tell me something about them if you unlock your memories. Who knows, this must be what the Spirit World's Rulers wanted to happen." Vale muttered in reply as he entered the second floor.
There is a counter in front and he can see the dozens of shelves within the room.
The student behind the counter smiled at Vale and spoke politely.
"Do you have a Special Token or are you going to use your Contribution Points?" The student asked. Based on the number of stars on his uniform, Vale can tell that he's a fifth-year student.
He doesn't seem to be surprised about Vale's presence since there are already three other students who were inside the library and reading a few books.
Vale smiled back at the student and replied. "I don't have a token… I'll use 1 Contribution Point... Here's my I.D. card… Right, can you tell me about the Special Token?"
The student received the card from Vale and confirmed his identity.
"Vale Chambers… 28 Contribution Points." The student muttered as he used another card to tap on Vale's card.
"Alright, I deducted 1 Point already. You can stay here for 24 hours. You can go out as well during that time but the timer would still run. Once your time's up, a cute spirit will be sent to remind you to either extend or get out of the library. If you refuse to leave, the cute spirit will stop acting cute and throw you out. Right, the token can be received from various missions as a reward. It's normally a reward personally given by the Professors." The student reminded.
"I see..." Vale muttered.
The fifth-year student can see that Vale is a first-year student and this must be his first time coming here so he explained the rules very clearly.
To be honest, he was quite shocked about the number of Contribution Points this student has. After all, he recalls that he only earned his first Contribution Point in his third year. However, this student already has 28 of them in just a few months in the academy!
'Ahh… Wait, Vale Chambers?' The student finally recalled this name that was always in the newspaper a few months ago.
He quickly looked at him to check his face and confirmed that he was indeed quite familiar.
'No wonder he has so many points… It must be his reward for defeating Larkin in that battle.' As he was thinking of this, Vale remained in front of the counter and seem to be hesitating on something.
"Is there something I can help you with?" The student asked with a smile.
He then saw Vale hesitating for a moment before nodding his head.
"As a matter of fact, yes… Can you help me find any books regarding the origin of the Arcane Path or any otherworldly beings?"
This question surprised the fifth-year student for a moment but he didn't ask unnecessary questions to Vale.
"Certainly… You must be looking for the Book of Sacred Earth for the origin of the Arcane Path but for the otherworldly beings, I can only suggest a few books and one of them is the Analysis of the Planar Spells."
