Chapter 82: Librarian Ernest (3). Step by Step
Eris had a clear standard for evaluating the value of a book.
It was simply about how practical the knowledge written in it was.
While magical knowledge was her top priority, she didn’t shy away from books that weren’t directly related to magic as long as the knowledge was practical.
On the other hand, she absolutely disliked books that didn’t meet her standards of practicality.
She couldn’t understand why noble young ladies would get excited reading romance novels, squealing with joy, and felt disgusted seeing young noblemen acting all heroic and idealistic in their stories about knights and heroes.
The reason was simple—such stories weren’t real.
Everything about them was fantasy and fiction, and reading them didn’t increase one’s magical abilities nor help in real life.
If there was any use for such topics, it might be a conversation starter with the other students, but that held no value for Eris.
The reason she didn’t raise a fuss with the other students at the training school was ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) simply because she didn’t want to lose her reputation as an exemplary student and wanted to meet the conditions to attend the Sky Academy.
As long as she could maintain the minimum necessary relationships with others, the rest didn’t matter, so she didn’t feel the need to read books she had no interest in just to cater to their tastes.
“And how did I end up with this...?”
Returning to her dormitory, Eris glared down at the book she had received from the librarian.
