Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith-Chapter 25 Library

After returning home, Lyrian wanted to learn about academies as much as possible and as soon as possible.

According to Cedric, getting into an academy seemed like a great way to grow stronger.

The best way for one's name to spread, after all, would be by being superior to many others. And in this world of magic, being superior to others in terms of strength seemed the most likely.

So, going to a 'prominent' academy meant you could grow stronger, and then spread your name through that.

Right now, Lyrian didn't see any value in spreading his name per se. He didn't dislike it either, but his opinion could be swayed either way.

That argument would have to be had once he actually got into the academy, but for now, he wanted to know exactly what these academies were.

What did they teach? How did they work? How does one even get into one? At home, Lyrian noticed that his father was at home early.

Both Grasus and Rosa had darkened expressions on their faces, almost as if they had been told horrible news.

Rosa's eyes looked red and teary while preparing dinner, and Grasus simply sat down on a chair looking out the window with a sloped back and saddened eyes.

Although Lyrian didn't want to waste time and immediately get onto academy information browsing, he knew that all of the books he read at home didn't really have the stuff he was looking for.

Because of this, he wanted to ask his parents about it when he got home, but right now it didn't seem like a good time.

He decided that the only way to progress now was by going to the library.

Lyrian went to his room, got out 5 silver coins, and put them on the table.

Thinking back, the poor kid from the last time he visited the library had the same amount of currency with him to enter the library.

Of course, he was cheated out of entering, but Lyrian wasn't going to just let that happen to him...

He then formulated a plan, deciding to go there without his family knowing.

He wouldn't be able to go with Grasus because of his job, but he also didn't want to go with Rosa, as he didn't feel like letting her experience anything like what happened the previous time.

With this set in mind, Lyrian went to 'sleep', of course, waking up late that night to cultivate in Eade.

Just because he had new priorities didn't mean he was simply going to skip out on free cultivation.

Later that day, it was the perfect time to go to the library. So, as the sun reached the middle of the day, he left.

On his way there, Lyrian noticed Cedric and his crew talking to a few other kids in an alley.

Cedric instantly gave him an arrogant, angry look, stepping up to him without hesitation.

'Huh... I guess I hurt his pride.' Lyrian thought to himself, preparing to quickly beat up the suckers before moving on.

However, the lanky kid, Bokus, suddenly put his hand on Cedric's shoulder.

"What the hell are you trying to do!?" Cedric immediately turned his head and yelled. He was furious.

Bokus' face slightly winced at the screams, but he still stuck by his decision and kept his hand on Cedric's shoulder.

Looking at Lyrian, who just stood there, unfazed and clearly ready to fight, Bokus said "C'mon man... don't make us go through that again. You know we can't beat him. He's a different beast."

"What did you-" As Cedric argued back, Lyrian switched his gaze to a pair of eyes seemingly hiding behind Cedric.

As their eyes met, the eyes behind Cedric popped out of his head like a cartoon and a fat kid suddenly fell flat on his back, interrupting Cedric's argument with Bokus.

The fat kid had fainted from just looking at Lyrian, remembering his traumatic experiences.

Cedric began to get mad at the two of him, as Lyrian simply laughed. "Cheh!" Before moving on.

Clearly, he wasn't going to have to deal with those clowns any longer. Still, he wanted to jack them of their coins today, but decided he wasn't going to waste his time.

Right now, he was eager to learn. Small temptations weren't going to deter him. After all, he could steal from them at any time. They were like walking banks.

Lyrian finally arrived at the library where he got in line similar to last time. Fanus, the previous guard looked to be there just like last time. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝘨

After a few minutes, Lyrian finally arrived at the front of the line, walking up the last step before facing Fanus.

"Here's the fee to enter. Five silver's right?" Lyrian calmly said, holding out five coins in his palm.

Fanus ignored him and took his time scanning the boy with his baton in his hand, causing whispers to come from the people in the line behind Lyrian.

"Theageld's kid? Puh-ha! Hahaha!" He suddenly broke out into laughter. "What kind of balls did you grow to come here to brazenly? Aha!" He said before suddenly swiping his hand across Lyrian's palm.

Both Lyrian and Fanus hastily closed their palms. It was so quick that no bystander could see who still had the coins.

"Yea, five silvers, brat. But there's a problem here, you don't got the funds! Are ya' trynna cheat the kingdom or somethin'? Ya' know, there's a large fine for that." He maliciously smirked.

"You sure?" Lyrian said, opening his palm back up to reveal five silver coins still in there.

A few gasps and 'wow's resonated from the growing crowd behind Lyrian.

Whenever Fanus started these stunts, people quickly gathered. It was more common than one would assume.

Fanus' face immediately became red from a mix of embarrassment and anger.

"You little! Do not disrespect the guards of Illstria!" He yelled, suddenly swinging his baton toward Lyrian's head at full force.

Noticing the speed of the baton, Lyrian knew that Fanus wasn't holding back even a little.

'To think... he is so flustered that he would use deadly force against a child.'

Almost any kid would have suffered horrible brain trauma from the brunt of the attack, but Lyrian wasn't like most.

He blocked the blow by grabbing the baton before it slammed against his head, causing a small sound to come from the force.

Again, this thought of Lyrian's caused his aura to suddenly be unleashed, and since his anger was directed towards only Fanus, a spine-chilling bloodlust suddenly assaulted him.

In the next second Fanus suddenly let go of the baton and fell onto his rear, his eyes wide of fear as he looked up at the monster in front of him.

"De--demon!" He said with a shaky voice as Lyrian let the Baton go and also dropped the coins on the ground before walking inside, leaving Fanus frozen in shock.

Not even Lyrian fully knew what had just happened, but he also wasn't going to complain either.

Sounds of surprise and shock also resounded from the crowd, who were utterly bewildered by what just happened in front of him.

Despite all of this, however, Lyrian had a simple grin on his face.

'It's time to learn.' He thought, entering a place that he had been wanting for entire an eternity.

The reservoir of all knowledge: A Library!
