Returning to the library, Ronald gave him a run-through of what his job was.
It simply arranges the books that were left on the table by the customer on the shelf in order.
After the run-through, Jishnu was tasked with reading the genre of every book in the library.
which was a tedious process that caused a lot of mental strain for Jishnu, who was inside 5-years-old.
but he still held on.
After three days, Jishnu memorised every genre in the library and the books that fall under this genre by remembering their book covers.
From fantasy to magical science to history, every single one of them
In the meantime, Jishnu went to the Lyingwak Inn and became more and more interactive and friendly with Ivyn and Amelia.
On the fourth day, Jishnu was called to Ronald's office.
"Child, you finish your task."
"Yes," Jishnu replied, standing before Ronald's desk.
"How many genres are there in the library?"
"82," Jishnu answered, wasting a second.
"Name them all."
"fantasy, romance, kingdom history, world history,
"Magical engineering, artifact engineering..."
Jishnu slowly recited the names one by one until he ended it with
"magic spells"
which was a pleasant surprise to Ronald.
"Being young sure is great," Ronald said as he remembered his youthful days.
"So now you can start using your ability."
"Okay," Jishnu replied excitedly as he waited to use his power again.
"Okay then... Oo... wait, when you are using your ability, sit on a chair; if not, you can hit your head on something when you fall unconscious, and make sure the chair has an arm rest because you are totally defenceless and might fall off the chair."
Hearing Ronald be genuinely concerned about his health, Jishnu understood that Ronald had no hand in this kidnapping and was put off his "f**k him over" list.
Coming out of Ronald's room, Jishnu went down to the first floor.Coming down.
he saw Philip under a pile of books and documents.
At first, Jishnu thought of avoiding him until he grew stronger or had the power to face him.
But then he thought otherwise: what if he gets suspicious of Jishnu if he avoids him every time?
(So stay closer to him until he lowers his guard for me to strike.)Jishnu walked to Philip's deck.
"Uncle Philip and Sir Ronald gave me permission to use my power today, so I am way too excited,"
Jishnu said like an innocent child.
"Okay, whatever," Philip said without minding him at all.
Philip felt that Jishnu did not leave, so he looked only to see that it was true.
to see Jishnu standing there with a disappointed face.
"What,why are you not leaving?" Philip asked as he looked at the face.
as if he slowly understood what Jishnu was disappointed for, he sighs.
"Sigh.. Ok, all the best, good luck."Hearing it, the disappointed face changed like a blooming flower.
"Okay, Uncle Philip, bye," Jishnu said as he turned around and walked away.
(Philip, you just said good luck to your killer.)Seeing Jishnu walk away, Philip felt something on his chest.
(He is just a child.)Remembering his smiling face, he felt guilty.
"What have I done to this bright child?
Not wanting to feel guilty, Philip drowned himself in his work again.
Jishnu walked to the corner of the library, and with it, he brought a chair to the window side.
He set his chair and multiple books around him.
Sitting on the chair, Jishnu stretched out his arm towards the book, thinking of arranging it.
A surge of energy flowed from his abdomen to his hand.
which caught Jishnu off-guard, as the first time he used his Either astral, it flowed all over his body, then to his arm, but now it flows from his abdomen to his hand without going in a circle in his body.
but he did not have time as the process was so fast that his ability activated and the books started to float, only to fall down on the floor as Jishnu was knocked unconscious after exhausting his astral reserve.
3 HOURS LATER.
Jishnu slowly woke up from his sleep, feeling refreshed.
With it, he felt another new sensation in his body, above his abdomen and below his heart. In between the small gap, he felt a foreign object, which felt foreign but at the same time felt like his own organ.
Jishnu put his arm on his chest, where he felt this new organ, and closed his eyes, concentrating on it.
Suddenly, his eyes lost focus and drowned in darkness.
Jishnu opened his eyes in a vast open space in darkness where the only thing that gave light was a single white spherical ball, which was the size of a small ball and radiated light.
"What is this feeling?"Looking at the spherical ball, Jishnu felt as if that ball was his, but at the same time he could not control it.
"Is it my astral reserve?" Jishnu was only guessing it, but he felt that it was true.
"Like the many novels where you have a space inside you where you reserve your mana, ki, etc." Jishnu said.
"Then that means that thing over there is my astral reserve, but why is it small? Is it because I just started?" Jishnu was brainstorming everything he could possibly guess.
"How do I go out for here?"the moment he said that Jishnu fell in the darkness.
This time Jishnu opened his eye, he was in the real world.
Feeling his new organ, Jishnu was excited and used his ability again, only for him to fall asleep again.
With that, his days of sleep came.
As he fell asleep every time he used his ability.
