A wonderful day for knowledge

Upon greeting the dawn, a familiar voice resonated, prompting me to rise. As the sleep faded from my eyes, the face associated with the voice became apparent. Recognizing Amelia, I finally managed to fully open my eyes, noticing the sunbeams filtering through her silvery locks that shielded me from the morning light as she encouraged me to awaken.

Puzzled, I queried, "What's the haste?" A sly grin was her only response before she grasped my arm, hauling me out of bed. She quickly proclaimed the need to prepare for the School of Elements. Confused and a bit irritated by this premature rush considering the ample time we still had at our disposal, I retreated back to my bed.

However, Amelia's persistence endured as she kept dragging me out of my comfort zone, compelling me to concede. Resolving to start my day, I directed my steps toward the bathroom to freshen up by brushing my teeth before heading downstairs to the kitchen.

Upon venturing downstairs to the kitchen, I discovered that Sonia and John had already departed for their respective jobs. Therefore, I ate breakfast alone and then stumbled upon a newspaper in the reading corner, seemingly perused by John earlier. The news article was anchored on the mysterious disappearance of the residents within the Luke Burg city. This piece of news was unsettling, and it piqued curiosity about the possible instigator. After all, Luke Burg has recognition as the domain of the third king, Alexander; provoking the notion that someone intentionally wanted to antagonize the king. While processing the information in the article, I savored my tea, taking unhurried sips.

Upon completion of my work, I rose from my chair, prepared to visit the library. As I was on the verge of departing, Amelia rushed in from the kitchen, querying if she might accompany me. Her enthusiasm took me by surprise, and I promptly assented. Together, we embarked on our journey to the library. Upon arrival, the copious rows of books offered potential obstacles in the efficient procurement of information. As a result, I sought assistance at the front desk. Here, a woman, boasting vibrant green eyes and jet black hair, introduced herself as Willow. She politely inquired about the specifics of my request.

"I am in search of books related to the topic of elements," I stated.

Willow pointed to a specific corner of the library where a wide variety of books about elements could be found. I followed her direction and arrived at the said spot, eventually finding two appropriate books. After this, I asked Amelia, my colleague, to stay at one of the available reading tables within the library space. Given the brief nature of the chosen books, it was not required to take them home. So, I made myself comfortable on one of the soft chairs next to a wooden desk and began my reading journey by going through a book focusing on the ice element. After some time, to keep Amelia engaged, I handed her the book to read.

After I finished my individual reading phase, we initiated a book swap that gave me the chance to delve into Amelia's distinct genre choice. I now held two books, namely "Element of Ice Guidebook" and "Element of Darkness Guidebook." By turning their pages, an abundance of information about these two elements came into my possession. The knowledge I gleaned from these two books outstripped the insights I had gathered from the preceding three books I had consumed.

After finishing both volumes, I asked Amelia for her personal thoughts. Her disheartened reaction was quite noticeable as she slouched on the table, suggesting she wished to leave. When I asked the question, she simply stated that the books matched her interests. This information brought to light an important point not mentioned in the books earlier. Our understanding underwent a deep-seated change; it clarified that demonstrating the creation of a weapon is required to activate a skill related to each one's elemental aspect. Accomplishing this requires an extended meditation process, during which the elemental power flows throughout us.

Following this, we repositioned the books to their original location, finalized our job responsibilities, and proceeded towards home. As soon as we entered the residence, we were faced with John's presence.
