Chapter 47: Best of the Three Options
Evaline:
I listened closely as the second option got revealed.
"... is access to the restricted section of the Silver Moon Library. For the entire academic year."
I couldn’t hide my reaction this time. My gaze turned to Professor Kieran as I asked, "That’s... possible?"
He nodded in response. "For you, yes. That section holds ancient scrolls, forbidden histories, bloodline theories, magical relic records - things even staff are limited from accessing without proper clearance. You could find things even we have never seen."
I swallowed hard.
That kind of knowledge... was something students could only dream about. The amount of knowledge I could gain from the restricted section was limitless. Not only that, but this one sounded like such a safe option with no threat of these brothers interfering in my life.
"Don’t think it’s all rainbows." River added when I stayed silent and lost in my thoughts. "If you chose this one, you will be watched. Every book you open. Every note you take. Misuse of information, intentional or not, comes with severe consequences. Expulsion is just the beginning."
To say I wasn’t intimidated, would be such a lie. But I wasn’t really surprised by the strictness that followed this reward. When giving access to such kind of knowledge, they would definitely make sure that nothing would go wrong.
