"What shall we do on your birthday?"


    Hugo nced at Abigail, who was sitting beside him. They were currently inside the library, finishing up a task that their teacher gave them earlier.


    "I don''t know. " he simply shrugged his shoulders.


    It will be his 18th birthday in this life. If he adds the years that were lost to him, then he should be 21 years old next week.


    ''Now that I think of it, I should be in myst year of ss.'' He took a deep breath and shake his head in annoyance. He felt like his efforts were all put in vain because of what happened.


    ''I should probably rethink if I will take 2nd year.''


    Hugo didn''t think that it was necessary for him. Since he already learned all the lessons from his previous life, then he could use this life for other things such as getting rich.


    With his tutor''s job, he already had enough money to live freely for a month. He nned to stay until his school finished. Once he has a break, he should look for another job.


    Maybe he could use his powers to help him find a high-earning job. He just needs to make sure that no one would know about it.


    He doesn''t like to use his powers to rob innocent people, since that will just make him a hypocrite. He had already experienced how hard it was to be poor.


    "Sadly, I can''t attend your birthday!" Abigail made a face. She puffed her cheeks before putting away the book on the table.


    "I will just call you on that day." She uttered.


    "Ok." Hugo nodded.


    He quickly finished what he was doing before cing his paper inside his bag. "I will return this back to their shelves."


    He stood up and grabbed all the books that they took. Abigail just nodded and stayed at their table to watch over their things.


    "Isn''t that heavy?" Abigail curiously asked when she saw that Hugo was carrying almost 10 thick books in his hands.


    Hugo shook his head. "No worries."


    His feet marched on their way to the shelves, carrying them all with ease. One by one, he looked at the number on the side containing what shelves do they belong to.


    The library inside Lunaria Academia was massive. There were bookshelves that were giant in height that were ced around the room. Each wasbeled with a letter and its ssification.


    The whole library was separated by two floors. The 2nd floor was quite dark since there were minimal lights on the corners. Usually, it was used by the students who wanted to rest for a couple of minutes.


    While on the 1st floor, the chandelier in the middle was a great source of light. The lighting in from the big windows greatly helps with its brightness.


    Hugo''s steps went bigger and bigger, walking down the end aisle where his feet brought him. He only had a book remaining in his hands and he was having a hard time locating where it was located.


    The space there was quite coldpared to the other sides of the library. Maybe it was because this was the part of the library where you will bezy to walk into.


    He stared at the dusty books on the shelves, looking at thebel on what ssification was this one. "For a school like this, why the hell don''t they clean these shelves," He said in annoyance when he had a hard time wiping off the board just so he can look at it''s name.


    ''History'' That''s what it clearly said on the board. Looking at the books lined up on the shelves, Hugo was contemting whether to just leave the book in here.


    "Tsk… I have no choice now. It''s not like I will be punished if ever."


    "Are you done already, Hugo?" Hearing a voice near his direction, Hugo decided to just leave the book on the shelf.


    Hugo was about to walk back when he saw a book that looked different from other books. He couldn''t look away, as if it was enticing him to get it. Because of that, he decided to get it.


    "Yes, I am." He answered back as he walked away from the shelf. He noticed that the book was quite heavypared to the 10 books together. The cover was covered in dust.


    Hugo wiped out the dust in front and blew the dirt afterward.


    "Where have you been?" Abigail asked curiously. She has been looking at Hugo for minutes already. She didn''t even hear the man answering her calls.


    "Just walking around," Hugo uttered.


    Abigail nodded. She smiled and showed Hugo a book.  The cover was in a red tone, having a foreign title that he couldn''t read.


    "What is that?"


    "A love story book!" Abigail eximed.


    "Once I finish this, you should apany me here again to find more books." Abigail''s smile became wider.


    "..."


    The two of them decided to go out of the library. They didn''t need to inform the librarian about the book that they took inside. They decided to go to the cafeteria and take a seat in their free time.


    They still have an hour before theirst subject.


    Hugo looked around, making sure that no one was near him before lifting up the book that he took earlier. Fortunately, Abigail went away as she find a  good food to eat.


    Opening it, Hugo saw words that he cannot understand. ''This is making my brain bleed, he thought.


    As he stared at it thoroughly, the word ''Lunaria'' ced on the bottom caught his attention.


    "So this book is about our ce," he told himself as he turned the page into another one.


    Hugo''s forehead creased when he saw something in the book. The next page contains a map, with different regions and kingdoms, drawn on it.


    "Lunaria? Why is Lunaria in here? I didn''t recall it being part of a kingdom."
