AT THE LIBRARY OF ZIRO.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE." An old man screamed at Philip and Jishnu, who were standing near Philip.
They both walked out of the room after being yelled at.
FEW HOUR EARLY.
"Mister is a librarian." Jishnu was shocked by this new information because he himself thought that Philip was some kind of crazy man who wanted something from him, but to hear that he is a librarian
(Now that's fucked up; why the fuck does a librarian need to kidnap a child for? No, I am going over my head. Calm down, Jishnu. Calm down.) Jishnu thought to himself as he forced himself into his seat.
"Yes,I am a librarian. "Now go get some sleep; we will go to the library in the morning." Philip said as he finished his food.
MORNING.
Jishnu was wearing a nice new dress that a kid his age wore.
For the first time in his new life, he walked through the city as both Philip and he walked down the road as they made their way to the library.
Jishnu curiously looked around.
He saw many people of different races and colours wearing armour and fancy clothes, with weapons varying in size and shape.
They slowly reached a large building.
"Come in," said Philip as he opened the entrance to the building.
As he stepped in, he saw a world of books.
Everywhere he looked, there were only books.
"come here"
Jishnu came out of his astonished state after hearing Philip's call, who was on the first step of the stairs that went up to the second floor.
Jishnu ran towards Philip and slowly followed behind as they went from the ground floor to the 1st floor, then to the 2nd floor.
As they reached the 3rd floor, the stairs finished.
"Come this way," Philip said.
"Huff, yes, huff, coming," Jishnu said as he was struggling to keep up with the stairs.
but seeing Philip, who was unaffected by the stairs, as if he were not the one who just climbed the stairs.
He slowly walked towards him as he was catching his breath.
Jishnu came before a door where it was written.
"Ronald Brown"
Philip knocks on the door.
Hearing the knock, someone from the inside said:
"come in"
BACK TO PRESENT
Jishnu and Philip were standing out as they were kicked out of the room after being yelled at by Ronald.
(Now I understand why he hates that old man, who in the world would love to be yelled at in the morning.)
Jishnu thought as he pitied Philip, who knew how long he heard this every day.
as they were standing out, thinking of a way out.
"Let's go home," Philip said.
Hearing it, Jishnu was in panic, as he knew that if they returned empty-handed, he would be tortured or, at worst, killed.
"Mister, can we not..."
Before Jishnu could complete it, the door to Ronald's room opened.
"Come in," Ronald said as he walked out of the room.
Hearing it, both Jishnu and Philip were surprised.
because the same person who just kicked them out now calls them inside.
INSIDE THE RONALD ROOM.
"Fucking bastard, first his father came to me and used his powers to force me to give his son a job, then his uncle came and threatened me to force him out of his job, and when I thought he would quit, he brought another one, that too, a child," Ronald
He clutched his hands tightly as he thought of Philip and his family.
"Calm down, Ronald; calm down; you need to think of a way," he said to himself to calm himself down.
"Wait a minute, why not use that child?"
as a new plan formed inside his mind.
He stands up and walks to the door.
Opening it, he saw both Philip and Jishnu stand outside.
As he looked at them, he said
"come in"
Hearing it, both were confused but still followed him inside.
INSIDE.
Ronald sat back in his seat and looked at them.
"I will give him a job at the library," Ronald said.
Hearing this, both Jishnu and Philip breathed a sigh of relief.
but it did not last long as Ronald continued.
"Only on one condition."
"condition?"Philip asked.
"The condition is that if he breaks or ruins any book inside the library, I will need you to pay double the price for the book," he said as he looked at Philip.
Philip, hearing it, was hesitant but still agreed with the condition.
"Okay, then everything from his living expenses to clothes and dresses will be given from the library."
Hearing it, both turned around to walk away.
"Hey, did you check if he is awaken?"
The moment Jishnu heard Ronald say
The gears inside Jishnu's brain started to spin and fall in order as the last puzzle piece was set in place.
Jishnu, who had forgotten everything about his awakening and abilities for the last two weeks, now remembers everything.
"What kind of broken and selfish world did I get reborn into?" Jishnu thought as his view of this new world changed.
His view of the world was not the only thing that changed; his view of Philip also changed.
The mysterious scientist he thought about was just an ordinary librarian who just wanted to lessen his work by kidnapping a child to do his work for him.
What Jishnu did not know was that this small lessening of Philip's work was great fortune for Philip and also for him.
as Jishnu was thinking.
Philip said.
"I did not check," he said acting his part.
"Okay, then let's go check if he is awakened," Ronald said as he moved from his chair with Philip to the door, followed by Jishnu, who was out of his daze that he got from the revelations.
They walk down the corridor as they reach an alter that holds the same light blue sphere he saw on his awakening day.
as they walked closer to the alter, Ronald said.
"Hey kid, walk towards the alter and place your hand on it."
Jishnu put his hand on the blue sphere.
As the blue sphere started to glow, Jishnu felt the same sensation that he felt on the awakening day, when the people around him stopped moving and started to feel everything around him.
and a moment after the sensation left.
"Oo, you are awake; that makes it easy," Ronald said as he saw the blue sphere glow.
Coming close, they saw the same exact language written on it on the day of awakening.
which meant
=========
[Arrange][Active][F]
ability to arrange any non-living thing in any order in any place as the user wishes.
=========
"A unique active skill," both Ronald and Philip were surprised because Philip knew that his ability did come under the criteria that he set, but he did not think that it would be this fulfilling, and Ronald was genuinely surprised.
"You are born to become a librarian, kid," Ronald said as he read the description of his ability.
"Let's test this ability of yours," Ronald said as he brought a book from the shelf near him.
"This is fairy tail; put it in the fairy tail section over there," Ronald said as he pointed at a shelf that was two shelves away.
Then he dropped the book in front of Jishnu.
"Now, kid, try to think of arranging his book."
Jishnu, who was listening to this, was a little excited.
as he focused on the book and thought about arranging.
Slowly, the book started to float.
Seeing it, both Philip and Ronald were amazed.
because seeing an ability that is not meant for a fight, and an active one at that, was quite rare.
but suddenly the book fell to the floor before it reached the book shelf.
Both looked back to see that Jishnu had been knocked unconscious as he lay on the floor.
