The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 87: The Academy Library
I went back to my dorm too. After entering the dormitory, I went to my room and sat on the bed.
"I didn't think I'd be told to have a lover's relationship with a Duke's daughter. ~Matchmaking Battle~ is it ? it seems very heavy for Charles because his partner is already determined by politics. Well it's natural because Charles is a royal family and also noble, it's not strange that nobles always conduct political marriages for the benefit of their families," I said.
"About Charles will be angry after knowing that the prospective partner is even my partner, well even though the original is just pretending. I hope he's not angry, I'm doing this for my own benefit anyway" I said.
"If this ~Matchmaking Battle~ will still be implemented even though Irene already has a partner, it means that at least I will remain Irene's lover until ~Matchmaking Battle~ is completed. If I cut ties with Irene when ~Matchmaking Battle~ has not been implemented, Irene will automatically become a participant of the event again," I said.
"I hope my duty as Irene's fake lover will go smoothly and without any obstacles. Well even though it's only been published in 1 month," I said.

Next day.
I go about my day in the morning as usual. I got up at 5am and got ready for sports and brought my sword to practice at the first-year training ground. After finishing running around the academy, I headed to the first year building for training downstairs. Arriving at the training ground, I met Irene who was training just like yesterday.
"Good morning, Irene," I said.
"Good morning, Rid," said Irene.
I called her again with Irene alone and it seemed that Irene was not bothered with my call, she also called me with just Rid alone.
"You're training in the morning again, Irene" I said.
"Yes, I love morning practice here anyway because it's still quiet. In the future, I will continue to do morning exercises" said Irene.
"Once again, I also want to continue the morning practice in the future so we may meet often in this place," I said.
"We also often meet in class" said Irene.
"That's not what I mean, I mean we'll meet and chat here a lot. Indeed, we also often meet in class but we do not chat," I said.
"Oh yeah, you're right too. But in a month we can also chat anywhere, not only in this place," said Irene.
"Well, you're right, too" I said.
"Then Rid, do you want to train to fight with me again today?" asked Irene.
"All right," I said.
-
"Yet you give up, Irene" I said.
"Training the match just now was enough so I chose to give up. Then I want to go back first, thank you for the match practice, Rid," said Irene.
"Yes, see you," I said.
Irene also left the training ground, not long after I also left the training ground to return to the dormitory. Then I took a shower and prepared to go to the academy.
Arriving in class, as usual if I was one of the students who came early, the class was quiet, then a few minutes later came Charles, Chloe and Noa.
"The three of you always leave at the same time, yes" I said.
"Well that's because we have made a promise to come together, different from you who always come alone, Rid," said Noa.
"Well, I'd rather come early, so I'm sorry if I can't wait for you. By the way, what about your fishing results yesterday?," I asked Noa.
"I-I didn't get any fish" said a sad-looking Noa.
"Yesterday, he was so upset that he could not fish, he almost intended to use magic in the lake to catch the fish" said Charles.
"Hahahaha, well maybe yesterday it wasn't your lucky day" I said.
"Next I will definitely get the fish" said Noa.
Then a little while later came Mr. Alan to class. Then the class began.

Today's class is over.
"Somehow the three-day lesson only explains the basics of magic and Mana itself. Is it because it is only the beginning of learning in the academy so the material is delivered that is easy first?," I thought.
"Or indeed the learning delivered by the teachers in this academy only teaches the basics, the continuation must be the students themselves who find out," I thought.
"In hindsight, during my time at this academy I had never visited a library. It seems like today I will be there to see the books on magic that are in this library," I thought.
"Ah sorry, you're right let's go to the arena," I said.
-
We all finished our daily matches today. I got another student's opponent who happened to say he wanted to fight me and I managed to win again. They also get opponents from other students who submit matches to them. And they all managed to win daily matches today as well.
"I'm hungry, how about we buy some food first before we go back to the hostel" Noa said.
"You're buying food on Noa ? aren't you afraid that the grant money from the academy will run out?" asked Charles.
"We will get money from the academy every month, after all I do not buy expensive food, which is cheap enough for me," said Noa.
"I've come with you" said Charles.
"If you want to buy your food first, I have a need somewhere" I said.
"Hmmm you suddenly become like Enzo, Rid, suddenly there is a secret need," said Noa.
"It's the first time I have a need like this ? I never had before. Take it easy I'll just go for a while, I'll catch up with you guys later" I said.
"Alright, then we go first yes," said Noa.
"Yes" I said.
I also parted ways with the other Noa. Then I went to the library. Actually I can take them to the library together. But I felt that someone was following us, judging from his aura, this was a new person I had not met before. I took the initiative to separate myself from them to check if this person was following one of us or following me. And it turns out this guy chose to follow me.
"Because I want to go to the library, I'll check who's following me" I thought.
-
I arrived at the middle building which was the cafeteria, I asked the staff there on what floor the library was on. It turned out that the library was downstairs, and I immediately headed up the stairs to go downstairs.
After going down the stairs, I was surprised by the breadth of the library. The library is divided into several levels/floors.
"It looks like the library is 5 floors, but I didn't expect the library to be this big. Even from the top floor of the library can see the floor below" I said.
I decided to go around looking for a book that caught my attention. Starting from the top floor to the bottom floor.
"The books I saw were very interesting, there were books on techniques, magic and more. There is also about the history of the world and the races that exist in this world. I'll read about the book later. But now I want to find out who's following me" I said.
The person who was following me since then had no intention of reaching out, he was just hiding behind a bookshelf. That's why I decided to go to him first. I went to him, but behind him. Realizing that I was not in my place before, he searched for my whereabouts. I, who had arrived behind him, took hold of his shoulder. You know that his shoulder was suddenly held by someone. That person was surprised too.
"Kyahh-h," cried the man.
The man almost shouted but I swiftly covered his mouth with my hand as it was a library, so there was no noise. Then I noticed the man following me.
"A woman, huh?" I thought.
After knowing that the person following me was a woman, I took my hand out of her mouth and apologized.
"I'm sorry for surprising you and being disrespectful" I said.
"A-ah it's okay, instead I thank you for preventing me from yelling. I almost caught my attention" said the woman.
"That's it," I said.
"Then, excuse me" said the woman.
"Wait a minute, don't you have to be with me?" I said.
"E-eh?" said the woman in surprise.
"Finally you followed me, right?" I said.
"S-it looks like I got caught huh. Y-yeah you are right, I need to be with you so I followed you but I did not dare to talk to you so since then I just hid to see you alone," said the woman.
"Because now I'm here, instead of just saying what you want to say?" I said.
"Truly as well, then allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Lillian Aurora Nielba" she said.
"Lillian Aurora Nielba ? Nielba yes, it seems I've heard this name," I thought.
"R-rid Archie, I'd like to ask for your help" the woman said.
