LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 65: The restricted section
“Nito, are you really the hero Nito.”
“Hm?”
I was in the library like usual, looking through books I couldn’t read, waiting for Patrick. Whe. Patrick suddenly burst in looking as though he was having trouble calming down.
It all started when the principal got angry at us, since then we’ve gotten to know each other well. We started hanging out in the library and training grounds after class.
“I asked if you were the hero Nito.”
“Oh yeah, I’ve been called that.”
“What do you mean you’ve been called that, look at this.”
Patrick showed me a magazine, it looked like this world’s version of a newspaper.
“Look, here.”
It seemed like this magazine was enchanted to that people of different races could read it.
“Oooh what is it? …..’the attack on Razhousen, the empires true intent.’ …..what?”
“Not there, here.”
“Uhm…’ adventurer Yogi said that if it wasn’t for Nito we would have been finished. Thank you my friend forever.’ We aren’t friends though.”
“It seems like the hero Nito is a healer. ”
“Well I didn’t hide it?”
“Thats something to hide!”
“Why?”
Patrick told me that the world was now in an uproar trying to find me. As proof of that he showed me the bottom of the article which said ‘Looking for information about the adventurer Nito.’
“Thats annoying.”
“They probably already have information on you.”
“How?”
“Because you announced yourself when you came here. Every student at this school knows you are here.”
“Oh yeah, I’ve been called out in an announcement several times too..”
“That too, there’s probably a reporter on their way here now.”
“That would be annoying.”
“If it comes to that you’ll have to trickle them.”
“Trick them?”
“You’ll have to wear a mask. Luckily your face hasn’t appeared in the paper yet. A shop in Qatar the town nearby should sell masks. We should go buy one soon.”
“That seems a little to easy.”
“The rest is up to you, do you have any magic that can help you hide?”
“No.”
I regret not choosing mimicry when I was in the dungeon.
“It can’t be helped then.”
“More importantly is it possible to do it tonight?”
“Not a problem, it looks like the principal is out on a business trip as well.”
“So we have a chance.”
“Yeah, that’s why we have to do this tonight.”
I’d told Patrick about what I saw of the future. We derived that the magic must be Resuscitation Magic. Patrick thought that the future was probably talking about that kind of magic.
“Books related to death aren’t publicly available at this school. If they have them they’ll be in the restricted section.” [T/N: OK ok he said restricted room, but come on, H.P. is life.]
We’re supposed to break into the restricted section tonight.
“The problem is the ward. But I’ll take care of it.”
When he said that Patrick took out a brown wand.
“Whats that?”
“Its a yodel wand, it’ll break the ward guarding the restricted section.”
“Why do you have something like that?”
“Because I decided to go in.”
“Why?”
“Theres something I want in there as well.”
“I see.”
“I couldn’t get in before because there are a lot of sensing wards. inside the room.”
“Wait, is it possible for me to go?”
“Probably, if it’s you they probably won’t be able to sense your magic. ”
“Was that your plan this whole time?”
“Its a coincidence, Nito just happened to want to get in as well so it’s convenient.”
“Really? I don’t care but..”
“Be prepared, if you get caught you’ll definitely be kicked out.”
“I’m ready, if there’s a chance to save Toa I’ll do it. I’ll go in your place as well, what is it you wanted? ”
“….a book about the fire spirit.”
“Got it, I’ll go get it for you. ”
“Its not going to be easy.”
“What do you mean? Sounds easy enough.”
“Nito, you can’t read. ”
“Oh…..”
“Jeez, take this.”
Patrick handed me two sheets of paper.
“This is a list of words about Resuscitation, and this one is about the fire spirit. Just grab as much as you can of anything that looks remotely similar.”
“Alright, this’ll be easy.”
“Hey.”
“All I have to do is go in and get it right? Besides I have the storage space, in good at bringing around lots of things.”
“Haaa….. its just hard to stay calm. The interschool battle is coming soon.”
“The what?”
“Didn’t you listen? The teacher told us about it.”
I had no idea but, it seemed like it was a joint battle between three schools.
“Theres no Greyberg this year, the only opponent is Fisher Natica. There won’t be as many opponents so it’s a chance for me. I want to be chosen as one of the three school representatives.”
“So that’s why you’re looking for power?”
“Yeah. ”
I’m a little excited.

From behind a pillar I saw Patricks signal, two quick flashes,, and I quickly joined him at the door.
The both of us snuck out of our rooms at midnight and are about to break into the restricted section. The room was facing a small courtyard.
“I’ll keep watch outside while you go in, but be careful. We can sense magic power but so can everyone else.”
There’s a problem, there are passages to the left and right and nowhere to hide. If a patrol came by we would be caught.
“Well if they do sense it, it would be your magic power….”
Leaving your room at night is forbidden.
“There won’t be a patrol for another hour.”
“You sure know a lot.”
“I gathered the information in preparation for today. You might be better at sensing the magical power than I am. If you sense anything just grab me and run.”
Id already shown Patrick my 《God Speed》skill. He was constantly vigilant keeping an eye out to left and right, apparently there were some monsters that didn’t have magic power and he was worried they might be used to guard this room.
“Ok, first I’m going to use the wand to interfere with the ward.”
“And then?”
“And then you open the door with 《telekinesis》. After that find where the books are and look for as many books as you can according to the memo I gave you. And..”
“Don’t touch anything if I can help it right? ”
“Yeah, we’ll be finished if we leave any trace behind.”
“Got it.”
Patrick lightly tapped his wand against the door.
“Now.”
I opened the door with 《telekinesis》.
“Be careful.”
“You too.”
I stepped into the room.
