Chapter 27: Announcement
"Never mind, instead of thinking about that. I guess I’d better go back inside the reading room. There’s still a lot of information I need to learn about the dark realm, and I don’t want to waste my time here."
After nearly four hours of reading the book, Shaan started to feel sleepy. Damn. This was the first time in his life he had spent hours reading, and it felt like his head was about to explode. He couldn’t help but wonder—how could everyone else here sit still for hours without falling asleep at all?
"I’d better head back to my room and get some rest. Looks like my body needs it right now."

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, the sleepiness that had previously engulfed Shaan gradually disappeared. Good—at least now he felt much better. He had planned to return to the reading room and continue reading the book, but that seemed impossible. It was already close to 8 PM, and by the time he got there, the reading room would be closed.
"Rather than wasting energy running to the reading room, maybe I’d better try once again using the mind link to summon Robin Hood."
Shaan then sat on the floor and slowly closed his eyes. Calmly, he once again tried to concentrate his entire mind to communicate with Robin Hood. However, after a few minutes had passed, he did not connect with Robin Hood at all.
’Huh? Why can’t I communicate with Robin Hood at all?’ Shaan furrowed his brow. ’Could I be doing it wrong?’
’Good evening. All amateur daemonists are requested to gather in the hall immediately. There is something important to announce. Thank you.’
Not long after the announcement was delivered through the speaker in his room, Shaan rushed to the hall. Of course, he did not want to be the center of attention for everyone who was already inside the hall, so he quickened his pace even more until he reached the hall.
