With Elora's absence, Gabriel didn't feel the need to worry about much. Not only did he prove his 'innocence' to the academy, but he also did what he was here to do.

Now he could leave whenever he wished, but leaving so soon felt like a waste of the opportunity for him. There were many more places in the academy to explore for now. By going back so soon, he would be just wasting the opportunity he had in the form of the Ring of Apophis.

He still had four more nights here, and he wanted to use them to the fullest.

He didn't need Spirit Stones. He didn't care about the Academy Points system either. There was a Treasure Pavilion which contained treasures made by the academy that could be purchased with points.

He didn't have many points since he had only been here for two days and didn't earn any points, but even if he didn't, he didn't think there was anything that was available to be bought which could intrigue him.

He had already stolen one of the most precious treasures of the academy that even the teachers weren't allowed to touch. If he considered all the treasures he had now, he was probably the wealthiest person in the entire city after the Holy Church of Light.

Each of the treasures that he possessed was going to be bought at a really expensive cost if he was to sell them. With such great treasures, he didn't think he needed anything else here.

He walked past the Treasures Pavilion, which sold artifacts.

On his way to the Tower of Challenges, his eyes fell on another interesting place. He was told that the place was the Library of Spells. It was where books written by teachers and other students were kept if they wished to donate that knowledge to the academy.

There were quite a lot of spells amongst those books that were created from scratch by some highly talented mages. Gabriel had bought a spell book of Light from outside, which had some decent spells, but there were no powerful spells in them. They were all spells that were publically available.

He wanted more powerful spells, and the library could help him with that.

After thinking for a brief moment, he entered the Library of Spells.

Entering the library of Spells, the first thing that Gabriel noticed was just how big this place was. As far as eyes could see, he saw a long line of library stacks that seemed unending. The Library appeared to be much bigger from the inside than it looked from the outside.

All the stacks were filled with books. Curious, he walked to the first stack, only to be stopped by a young man.

"May I help you?" The young man had the attire of a Mage of Water, seemingly from the third year.

The man worked at the Library as a helper in exchange for some credits.

"I want to see some books, possibly some about Spells of Light," Gabriel answered.

"I'm afraid you aren't allowed yet." The man shook his head, disappointing Gabriel.

"And why not?"

"Because you don't have the credits needed to even look at the cheapest book here. From your attire, it's clear you're a first-year student. That means you just joined two days ago. Even if I count all the credits, you would've been given until now, that's not enough."

The man gave an excuse that Gabriel didn't have enough Credits, which Gabriel found a bit odd. Didn't points come into play when he wanted to take a book off a shelf? There shouldn't be a cost to just walking around.

"Can I at least wander into the library to observe it? At least I want to decide which book I want to strive for and how long it is going to take for me to get enough credits for that."

"You Mages of Light are always so... Anyway, I'm afraid you aren't allowed. Even to enter the library to decide on the book, you will need to spend at least a hundred credits since we'll need to assign a helper to show you around and help you decide which book would suit you." The young man exclaimed, feeling slightly irritated.

It wasn't odd for Mages of Light to be this stupid. They always thought that they could get whatever they wanted and that they were the best. The kid hadn't been at the academy even for a few days, and he was already trying to hit above his height.

"And I am already sure that you don't have that many points, so please don't waste your and our time." No matter what, the man didn't budge from his stance, which made Gabriel also somewhat annoyed.

If he wasn't controlling himself for now, he would've loved to see how this man was going to stop him.

For now, he just gave up and turned around to leave. He walked out of the Library, taking one more glance at the building. For a moment, a thought crossed his head that maybe he should empty this place as well, but he dropped the idea.

This was too much work over nothing. Moreover, sooner or later, he was going to return to this place when he was ready for an all out war with the Holy Church of Light. At that time, he could take whatever he wanted.

He left the place.

Not long after Gabriel left the library, an old man arrived behind the young man who had kicked Gabriel out.

"Was someone here?" The old man asked. For some reason, he appeared a bit uneasy.

"No one," The young man answered since he considered Gabriel as an insignificant person.

Walking through the grass fields, Gabriel reached the Mission Hall. It was another important place at the academy, which was mostly used by the students to get points.

As if his curiosity was once again ignored, he walked to the Mission Hall as well, trying to see just what kind of missions were being given to the students.

"I hope they don't charge points to enter as well since this place is supposed to be what gives points."

He entered the mission hall. The place was quite crowded. Then again, all the classes were off today, so it wasn't surprising.

He walked to the massive board in the distance, which had many letters and posters that contained information about the mission. If someone wanted a mission, all they needed to do was note the number on the mission poster and report it to the incharge of Mission Hall to get that mission assigned to them.

Gabriel walked to the board, observing the missions. Just as he expected, the missions were quite easy. They were for weaker mages, so it wasn't quite surprising. The real difficult missions were on higher floors, but he knew that he wasn't going to be allowed there. Then again, maybe he could?

He looked around, realizing that no one was looking at him. There was no one here who recognized him, so it was quite easy as well.

He walked near the window, looking outside with his back turned against everyone else. Since his back was facing them, no one should see him. In any case, no one paid attention to him either.

He planned to make changes to his badge and his face through the illusion to get an entry into the higher floor, but just as he was about to attempt it, he stopped.

He didn't cast a new illusion as he thought of a possibility.

"If I pretend to be a Fourth Year Mage of Light, and there is a fourth year Mage of Light on the floor above, it would be troublesome. It's the same with other elements..."

At the right time, he remembered that the students here trained in the same classes for years. There was no way they wouldn't find seeing a stranger who was supposed to be in their class odd.

He dropped the plan, realizing that it was quite stupid. There was no need to take this stupid decision just to satisfy his curiosity.

Dropping the plan, he started leaving when he noticed a piece of paper lying on the ground, upside down.

Curious, he picked up the piece of paper and turned it around, getting slightly surprised. This was the mission acceptance letter!

Once a student entered the Mission Hall and accepted a mission, they were given a handwritten letter that mentioned what mission they had selected and their identification so they could claim their rewards later on.

Going through the paper, it seemed like the mission was accepted by a fourth-year student from the first floor. It also seemed to be the highest tier mission that was given to students. The student appeared to be a Mage of Summoning named Aira.

More than the details of the mission, what surprised Gabriel was the content of the mission, especially since the content was directly related to him!
