Kyle came out from the shower wearing a purple shirt with black pants. After picking up Bia he hurriedly left the dorm.
He gazed at the night clouds outside. After walking for a while, he arrived in front of the library.
He didn't see any students on his way because it was dark and everyone would have retired to their rooms.
Elder Han was standing in front of the library while talking to the new Librarian.
Kyle gazed at the sweating old Librarian who obediently nodded toward Elder Han.
He approached them but when Elder Han saw Kyle he dismissed the old Librarian.
Kyle gazed at the fading librarian and looked at Elder Han with a serious expression.
"Master? Why are we here."
Elder Han took out a white crystal from his storage ring and handed it to Kyle. He gazed at him and entered the library
"Follow me."
Kyle saw the strange crystal and followed behind the Elder who walked deeper inside the first floor of the library.
After passing through the rectangular table they passed through some bookshelves and arrived at the end of the first floor.
Kyle frowned when he saw Elder Han because th latter was standing in front of a wall. Bia who was sitting on top of his head opened her eyes and looked at the wall curiously.
On the other hand, Kyle gazed back at the bookshelves. The library was dimly lit with some fireballs floating around the ceiling.
He could see the shadow of the old Librarian who was sitting behind the reception present at the library entrance.
A few meters away on his left was a stairway leading to the next floor of the library.
His gaze was abruptly shifted because Elder Han took out another familiar white crystal from his storage ring.
Under Kyle's curious gaze, the crystal started floating and settled between two books present on a nearby bookshelf.
The wall in front of Elder Han trembled and moved backward.
Elder Han stepped inside the opening. Kyle followed behind but his eyes widened slightly because behind the wall was a large room.
There were many shiny stones embedded on the walls of the room. On one side he saw many large tables filled with old and new herbs. A few glass containers and many vials filled with different colored liquids were scattered on top of the tables. In the middle of one of the tables, a large black bowl was present.
Kyle and Bia both curiously gazed at the tables before they saw some strange pattern present on one of the walls. Two bookshelves filled with old-looking books were standing beside that wall.
Elder Han pointed at the white crystal present in Kyle's hand.
"This is my secret room. With the help of the crystal, you can come here anytime."
Kyle nodded but his gaze was fixed on the strange symbols present on the wall. The symbols were completely golden and gave off a strange aura.
Elder Han walked inside the room and with a wave of his hand an empty table and two chairs appeared inside the room. He gestured for Kyle to sit on a chair before walking toward one of the bookshelves.
"I am working on some things that's why I am going to stay inside this room for a while. You can come here any time you want to see me. I will also teach you about arrays here."
While speaking Elder Han took out a book from a bookshelf. After looking at the book, he placed it in front of Kyle who was sitting on a chair.
Kyle gazed at the book and opened it. It was filled with strange patterns but all the patterns were marked with the local language.
Elder Han sat opposite Kyle and pointed at the book.
"This is a beginner Array book specially designed for newbies. You can learn basic Array symbols through it. If you learn it completely it will be easy for you to understand the more difficult books."
Kyle nodded his head and looked at the first page. The patterns drawn inside were difficult but when he saw the information present above each pattern he was able to understand it.
'It's not that hard.'
He thought inwardly and flipped a page while listening to Elder Han's explanation.
"I believe the only array you have seen would be the Teleportation Array but Arrays are used in a lot of things than you can imagine."
Kyle stopped looking at the book and gazed at Elder Han. He did see some Arrays inside the Tower but he knew nothing about them.
Noticing Kyle's serious gaze, Elder Han smiled and continued.
"We can draw arrays on weapons to enhance their sharpness and durability. It can also be used to protect some old Artifacts from getting damaged for a certain time. One can even draw some unique arrays on their body parts to increase strength but this process is very painful that's why not many people use this method."
"Arrays are used in many ways but there are two main types of arrays used in large-scale battles except the Teleportation Array that is used everywhere."
"First Defensive Arrays and Second Offensive Arrays."
Kyle nodded with understanding.
"Defensive Arrays can stop attacks from the enemies and with the help of offensive Arrays one can attack others without using their strength but no matter which Array we use they all need natural resources for activation. Currently, the best energy source for Arrays is mana stones."
"Arrays are powerful but they have their disadvantages because first, you need a good memory and focus to draw them properly because even a single minor mistake will make them defective. Secondly, they need a constant supply of energy."
Elder Han took out a piece of paper and a pen. In front of Kyle, he drew a circle filled with some symbols on the paper and placed a mana stone on the paper.
The moment the mana stone touched the Papar the carving on the page started shining and a round shield appeared on the paper.
"It's a beginner defensive array. The symbols used are a little difficult but a normal person can learn it within one week. It's all depends on your focus and ability to draw."
Kyle's gaze was fixed on the paper. The round shield was very weak because it was small.
'If a smiliar yet big array is supplied with enough energy it can withstand a lot of attacks! Amazing.'
After giving a summary about Arrays, Elder Han asked Kyle to first memorize the book he was given.
With a nod, Kyle seriously started reading the book. Even Bia sat down on the table and looked at the book curiously.
At first, Kyle just wanted to learn a little about Arrays because he wanted to understand the books he found inside the Tower but after hearing Elder Han's explanation his interest was piqued. Now, he seriously wanted to learn about Arrays.
