Chapter 6: So, What Happened at the Library?

AND SO, she did. She went to the school's library to kill her free time and study spells at the same time.

Since both her physical body and magic are still weak, she chose to read some basic books that are available at the library instead of wasting time. Though she doubted it if she could actually perform any of those in person since she simply... Sucks.

She shook her head as she slapped her cheeks.

"I shouldn't be thinking like this!" she said to herself.

Then, she sighed exasperatedly before a smile suddenly rose on her lips. Afterwards, her eyes started to show a flicker of determination that gradually burned intensely as if a fire in a forest that had a high temperature. The look that lies in her eyes is like how a spark that first landed on a small dry branch managed to spread its fire in a span of a few minutes—burning the whole forest without minding everything as long as the thirst could be satisfied.

Right! This is how it was supposed to be. She should be positive instead of thinking negatively. She remembered in a book that she had read before, there was a saying: "What you think becomes your reality." If she keeps on thinking pessimistically, would it not only make her reality become even more hopeless?

Today, she should just start doing anything that is within her capabilities before acting as if it's already the end of the world even when she has not even started to do a small step yet. She should mind all her worries tomorrow and once tomorrow comes, she should set them aside while keeping her focus towards the future.

As of now, she is busy scanning the bookshelves in the library for the second time while trying to look for more interesting book titles; trying to find anything that would pique her interest in reading. It wasn't like there was nothing that she could understand from the first batch of books she read. In fact, she already finished everything and memorized their contents. Just that, she couldn't really perform them yet.

So, instead of picking a book about magic again, she decided to pick a few fictional books this time to remove in her mind all the negative thoughts that are stressing her. That is also the reason why she has been wandering in the library while quickly looking at the books that are trying to take her attention.

Then, after a few minutes of looking, Crostelia felt something weird—as if there is a force that she couldn't see that is trying to take her into a certain location in the library that doesn't seem too special. So, the girl walked towards the place where her feelings were trying to take her. She took a couple of steps from where she was standing and immediately stopped when she reached the side of the most discreet bookshelf at the back that had a lot of dust. Then, she raised her head. As soon as her eyes lifted up, she caught a faint, silver, twinkling light in the middle of the books covered with dirt at the other side of the bookshelf. It wasn't that far from her current place so she took another couple of steps until the light was already in front of her—it came from a book.

A few seconds passed; the glowing book was already in her hands. Crostelia's eyes beamed with happiness because of the mysterious object she just discovered. Since it was covered with dust, she happily blew the dust away while holding the book with care. However, just when she thought that she had found an amazing item, she immediately got disappointed.

The girl's lips immediately ended with a thin line as the sparkle in her eyes disappeared. She thought what she found earlier was so amazing because of the light it was emitting but it turned out just a plain, brown book without a title nor even the author's name. The only parts she could flip were the front and back hard cover. The light also disappeared as soon as she tried flipping the covers—that made her think; maybe she was just hallucinating earlier.
