Talia went down shelf by shelf in the Academy library. He was not at all like the first freshman to enter the library. Instead, the girl had enough books to fit her needs.
After wandering around for a while, Talia carried a few thick books that she thought were appropriate. He took the books to a long, quiet reading table. There were only a few upper level children sitting in groups on the other side of the table.
Talia began to read a thick black-coated book under the title High Level Alchemy: Magic Crystal Making. His greatest suspicion was the red crystal stone he had obtained from his father. It was the only clue, considering that he had indeed used the power of the Crystal in the last moments of his life before.
Teleportation Crystal Stone
Making Crystals as magic objects that help move places is complicated and takes a lot of time. In addition, this type of magic crystal fertilizer costs a lot because of its rare materials. Dragon's heart is one of the hardest materials to make. Since long ago the dragon nation is known not bound by time. They have the ability to see the future and the past at the same time. It was the energy of the dragon nation that was the basis for the making of the teleportation crystal.
By utilizing the dragon heart as the main material compressed in the Crystal stone, place transfer magic could be created. Even so, the technique of making crystals must be careful because a few mistakes can cause various side effects, such as location errors, or displacement imperfections. A magician can leave his hands or feet, even his head when switching places with imperfect Crystals. That was why teleportation crystals could not be produced in large quantities.
The article explains at length about the crystal Talia has. At the bottom of the article is an image of a red crystal that is exactly like his. In addition, the material and how to make it are also attached. However, Talia did not pay much attention to the passage.
The girl grabbed her necklace. The blue crystal is still there, while the red crystal has now changed color to jet black, the mark has been used. Talia concluded that the crystal could only be used once.
“Here is not explained that this Crystal can bring someone back to the past. Are those also side effects?” thaad Talia murmured to herself.
Talia continued to flip through the book, as well as the other books she had brought with her. But no more information comes close. Talia sighed in despair. He then remembered that Kyle had touched him, and he was not at all thrown into the future again. It also made Talia restless. Like something was missing from his ability. Talia has to make sure.
The girl sighed in frustration. Everything becomes full of mystery. Why did he go back in time? More than that, why did he have to go back to when he first came to the Academy? All the questions filled Talia's mind. He never liked mysteries. Talia was used to seeing the future. He can always predict the next event. Now he felt like he had been left in a black hole that he did not know about at all. His head seemed to be breaking.
“Ah, tiring .. ,” sigh Talia while leaning her back on the chair.
Suddenly the tip of his eye caught a young man standing on a bookshelf not far from where he was sitting. The figure Talia was very familiar with, as well as the one she had avoided the most in her previous life: Ludwig Gothe.
Talia hurriedly tidied up the entire book that was scattered on the table, trying to dodge as usual. But seconds later, Talia realizes that at this time, Ludwig may not have any thoughts of harming Talia. He's not too close to Kyle.
“That guy doesn't seem to know about me yet,” Talia muttered as she straightened up and glanced at Ludwig's back as he opened the pages of the old book.
“By the way why he loves going to the library. I thought he was following me on purpose. But apparently the man did like to read books,” Talia murmured again, more to himself.
“You have a unique habit of reading, Lady. Is it by flipping the book that there is another meaning you find?” A sound makes the feathers of Talia crumble. He looked up slowly and found Ludwig standing before him smiling.
“Hah, a, what?” tanya Talia stuttered.
Ludwig gave a small snort and nodded towards the book that was opening before Talia. “Your book is turned upside down, Lady,” said the young man smiling amusedly,
Talia looked at her book again, and sure enough, the writing was reversed. Nervously the girl immediately flipped it over and tried to stay as calm as possible. Of course the attempt failed.
“I'm just trying some book reading techniques,” kilah Talia with the most unreasonable reason.
Ludwig laughed again and sat down in front of Talia. “So there really is a secret message in the Basic Alchemy book? I'm not an alchemist, but it seems quite interesting to hear your story,” said the young man kindly. A trait completely incompatible with Ludwig's.
Talia closes the book and goes back to packing. He had to run away before the problem got worse.
“Nothing interesting. I just read a glance. This book is boring,” Talia said without daring to look at Ludwig.
“Is that? So that's why you're paying attention to me instead of the book.”
Talia's heart is breaking. Apparently Ludwig realized that Talia was watching the young man. “I didn't notice you. I was just daydreaming. Yes, I daydreamed,” Talia told a lie. Accidentally the girl looked straight at Ludwig. That young man indeed had a beautiful face like his sister. The difference is, Ludwig looks more cunning and dangerous than Kyle.
A smile rose on Ludwig's face. A smile that somehow felt like a smirk in Talia's eyes.
“Are you from the Alchemy Department? What's your name?” ask Ludwig then.
Talia once again cursed in heart. Of all the people, why else would he have to deal with Ludwig. He is now threatened to be a target for this person.
“Sorry, I have to go. Soon dinner time.” Talia hurriedly stood up while hugging her entire books. But because he was too hasty, the books just fell back scattered on the table and floor.
Talia sighed in annoyance. Everything that day was so messed up. He had to kneel down and rearrange his books. Unfortunately, Ludwig now squatted in front of him and helped Talia tidy up the book.
“Have we met before, Lady? Looks like you know me well enough,” asked Ludwig while handing over a stack of books.
Talia's heart was pounding irregularly again. Not because of fascination of course. More towards fear. A big question came to his mind: Did Ludwig also experience the turn of time like him?
