Chapter 288 Library
**Translation:**
---
During the following days, I tried to transform myself into any kind of animal, but it was failure after failure. There was always some anomaly that prevented me from doing it completely. Of course, there were some advances, but they were very few. It was extremely frustrating, to say the least. During this time, it was also thanks to the help of the little fairy. She was always available to help me. She was incredibly adorable and patient. There came a point when her gaze became very serious, but I assumed it was because she was trying to help me wholeheartedly.
It's worth noting that she also tried to speak to me. Her words were indescribable to me; I couldn't understand them in the slightest. However, I must say that her little voice was like a gentle whisper, filled with calm and peace. For some reason, it always made me sleepy when I heard it. During this time, I realized that somehow I had to learn the language of the fairies because if we continued like this, things would go very badly. Now, she communicates with me through signals, which is actually quite cute.
The little fairy also discovered her love for sweet things, thanks to Ema. The day she emerged from my body during the experiment, the two of them somehow got along very well. It even reached the point where the little fairy abandoned me and went somewhere with Ema. After a while, she came back with lots of sweets in her tiny hands, with signs of chocolate around her small mouth. Even so, her eyes sparkled with excitement. Since that day, whenever she has the chance, she sneaks off to be with Ema and comes back after a few hours with more sweets.@@novelbin@@
I didn't see any problem with the little fairy, but I was very curious about where Ema got so many expensive sweets. Even I had never tried some of them. So, I went to ask her, and she told me that it was her own money saved up over the years. Years? That was practically impossible. Even so, I didn't press further; everyone has some secrets. That day, I caught her with lots of sweets in her mouth, looking like a squirrel hoarding its nuts.
I reminded her that eating so many sweets could be very bad for her, and she just nodded meekly. The following days were somewhat monotonous but necessary: training with the little fairy, playing a bit with Ema or going for a walk with her, and even some hand-to-hand combat training. She always tried to find an excuse to avoid it, but she could never escape from me, and I took her with me to train. Her progress was slow but steady. She managed to pass the basics, and her physical condition also improved a lot, along with her stamina.
At night, I spent time with the girls. We played almost all night before sleeping like babies. They were very aggressive with each other to see who had more control or something like that... It was quite strange but pleasant. They always gave their best, but in the end, the result was always the same: I won.

The sun was shining brightly at the highest point in the sky. Today it was a bit stronger, but even so, the heat emanating from it was very warm. With my hands in my pockets, I walked calmly through one of the academy's parks. Looking around, everything seemed very empty. Some students were walking through the park, but it was very normal since it was vacation time. Most of them had gone to visit their parents or relatives. Only those who didn't want to go anywhere remained.
I wore a black cotton shirt and blue jeans. My current objective was to go to the library. I had no idea where it was, so I had to consult my "phone." It was actually a crystal given to us on the first day. It turned out that the academy's library was located in the center of the establishment.
About 20 kilometers from my faculty, yes, it was very far, and the worst part was that you needed some kind of pass to reach the center of the academy. Taking a card out of my ring, I looked at it closely. It was an ID, but not just any ID.
(Atenea Schwarzkopf)
(Academic Professor: Commander-in-Chief of the Army
(Authorized)
Yes, it was one of Professor Atenea's cards. Thanks to this golden card that had a magical shine to it, the words written on it glowed blood-red. It was the professor's aura. Beneath the words, the card itself looked like a beautiful crystal, as if you could see through it like water. It was extremely ostentatious but at the same time very elegant.
"If you dare lose my card, I will cripple you for life," my body trembled slightly at the memory of Professor Atenea's sweet words. She had a great smile on her red, delicate lips. When she mentioned those words, she got close enough to my face. Her scent reached my nostrils. The professor was beautiful, too beautiful. Her smile was dazzling, but all of this added too many points in her favor, except for her eyes, which were almost emotionless and completely cold as they looked at me. She was a dangerous beauty.
Minutes passed until I reached the library. Well, I could see it from a distance. It literally looked like a great temple rising towards the sky, with a huge crystal ball rotating in all directions at the top. Its pillars were massive in size and thickness, as if this structure had stood for thousands of years. It was the only grand library with millions of books in it—books on history, science, and mathematics. Everything about the empire was in this library, and it was the place I had to go.
In front, there was a large house. In fact, it looked more like a mansion. Behind it, a mirage rose. It was magic, a layer or a capsule encircling the entire area around the library. The academic center began with the library, and this was the place where I had to present the card that the professor "lent" me.
Some guards were standing with huge swords in front of them. The problem with this place was that not just anyone could enter, even me, being the son of a great duke, needed permission.
"Halt! Identification," said one of the guards, completely covered in a large silver armor, standing almost two meters tall, his figure very imposing. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire
Calmly, I took out the professor's card and showed it to him.
