Chapter 229 Dropped Objects

Annan is not in a hurry to leave the academy. In order to deal with the dangers in the future, he will make good use of the advantages and resources of the academy.

The academy has a lot of magic knowledge, so there must be something that is useful.

Annan went to the affairs office located on the upper middle floor of the college to explain the use of the room.

However, this office is still the same as last time. There are no living people, only a mechanical doll responsible for registration and recording.

Annan returned the borrowed room, explained on the form that he accidentally damaged the wall, and went to the library.

Annan went to the library not to read books, but to try his luck and see if he could hear the sound of black magic in the library again.

Sadly the sounds of black magic are not present.

If Annan had enough time, he wouldn't mind slowly looking for books to read in the wonderful library, but now he prefers something that can immediately increase his combat effectiveness and self-protection ability.

Magic takes time to learn anyway, and knowledge cannot be absorbed instantly and then transformed into strength.

The college's library is extremely large and has a huge collection of books, but because of this, it is even more difficult to find the books you need. Even if you have time, it is not easy to do this.

However, the sounds of dark magic he could hear were different.

His Whisperer ability allows him to learn a new magic in a short time, although it is only limited to black magic.

"Isn't the so-called gatekeeper I saw last time not here?"

Annan saw that there was nothing to gain from the library, so he left after wandering around.

He felt that it would be useless to go to the professor-level members of the academy to solve his troubles, unless the academy could give him some powerful magic props or relics.

"Would you like to ask?"

Annan walked aimlessly in the quiet college castle.

Along the way, he didn't meet anyone else, nor did he see the school's mechanical puppet waiter.

It wasn't until he unknowingly walked to one of the entrances to and from the academy, in front of a huge mirror placed in the spacious hall, that he saw the lost Field.

Even though Field was wearing a mask and a robe, Annan could still recognize him at a glance.

"Harry, it seems you have asked clearly."

Annan waved his hand and called Field, who didn't seem to notice him.

"Asked clearly..."

Field came over with slumped shoulders.

"I still can't believe it...this place in the other world...I..."

"Just think of it as the price of joining the academy, don't think too much about it."

Annan knew that he would not be able to easily comfort this classmate's depressed mood. He thought for a while, and then took this classmate to walk around the college.

The two people walking side by side didn't have much dialogue, only one sentence at a time, and most of the time it was Annan who did the talking.

After walking for almost ten minutes, Annan felt that he should have fulfilled his obligations as a classmate, so he planned to separate from the somewhat absent-minded classmates around him.

"Are you going back to reality? Then let's separate here."

"That's fine..."

A muffled sound came from beneath Field's mask.

He nodded and walked to the other side of the passage.

"Huh?"

Annan originally planned to walk around the academy as planned to continue to familiarize himself with the environment of this place. By the way, he could also see if there was anything that could hear the sound of black magic.

However, something suddenly appeared in the green garden on the other side, which deeply caught his eye.

Annan frowned slightly. He quickly turned his head and looked at the back of his classmates who were not far away from him.

"It's so big, so conspicuous, and so out of place in the environment, but he can't see it?"

Annan noticed that the thing didn't always exist in the garden outside the window, it appeared suddenly.

To be precise, it suddenly fell from above.

Annan quickly came to the garden.

The castle of the academy somehow has many large and small gardens like this on the periphery, and the structure of this building is also quite strange to a certain extent.

"If I were you, I wouldn't touch that thing easily."

When Annan came to the front of the black thing, a heavy voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"It is you."

Annan was completely unaware of when the other party approached, or when he should have appeared.

He wasn't frightened, he just took it for granted.

When he turned around and looked back, he glanced at his classmates whose backs could still be seen.

This classmate in the corridor did not notice what was going on here.

"I would like to ask, gatekeeper, is it impossible for ordinary people to see you?"

"Are you aware of it now?"

The figure was more than three meters tall, like a giant gatekeeper, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Annan was sure that the other party was taller and stronger than the last time he saw him, and the feeling of oppression was stronger.

"To put it in a more modern way, my body is in a different dimension, and I am in a different dimension. It is not a simple thing for others to see me, or for me to let others see me... Originally, You can’t see me either.”

"I see."

Annan looked at the tall gatekeeper, then raised his finger and pointed at the black thing beside him.

"So, where is this thing?"

"You are asking knowingly."

The gatekeeper seemed to have read through Annan's thoughts.

"Sure enough, this weird thing, I don't know whether it is a scale or an ore, was it dropped by the indescribable existence above? Is it a part of the skin or a part of the body?"

Annan stopped looking at the gatekeeper behind him. He began to look at the black thing about one meter high intently.

He really didn't know how to describe this thing. In his eyes, this thing was both flat and three-dimensional, thin and heavy. It was a contradictory polymer.

"Maybe it's that thing's poop."

The gatekeeper smiled softly after finishing speaking.

"However, you and I both know that there can be no excrement or falling objects in that thing."

"But this thing fell next to me."

Annan actually had a premonition, or maybe he could hear it.

The indescribable black thing next to him was specially designed for him.

He could clearly hear the sound of black magic emanating from the strange things.

"That thing probably already knows about you."

The gatekeeper took a step forward and held out his huge palm.

The target is the black aggregation of contradictions.

However, he could not recover the black things that fell to the ground. He could not touch them and he was rejected.

"That thing, that being, I'm afraid, wants to give this thing to you. This may be a gift."

"Gatekeeper, what will be the consequences if I touch it?"

If the gatekeeper hadn't suddenly appeared, Annan might have come into contact with this thing long ago, and then listened more clearly to the sound of black magic in it.

"I don't recommend you do this. That thing above is definitely not a good thing."

The gatekeeper did not give up on recycling black things, but he was rejected and could not interfere in any way.

"Don't you even know what that thing up there is?"

Annan was a little surprised.

Since the other party claims to be the gatekeeper of the academy, there is no way he doesn't know the identity of the behemoth that is entrenched above the academy building.

"That's the earthbound spirit of the academy - you won't be satisfied with this self-deceptive and optimistic idea, right?"

The gatekeeper finally stopped trying to reclaim the untouchable black thing.

"The Earthbound Spirit of the Academy? I like this idea."

Anan laughed loudly.

Then, he raised his hand, intending to touch the black thing in front of him.

The gatekeeper didn't make any move, he just looked at Annan expressionlessly.

Annan came into contact with the black thing.

The next moment, his world froze.
