"Isn't second-year not allowed to enter first-year's buildings?"
"Student Council members are allowed."
"Oh." Neo nodded. "Then, let's meet at 9 p.m."
He left the place and looked at the time.
"It's 6:30. There is still some time left before the library closes."
Although Neo was on the fence about reviving his friends, he had decided to follow their choices.
He had to prepare for the resurrection ritual in case they asked to be revived.
"I'll need to learn a time-reversal spell to restore the corpses."
Neo visited the library.
The place was jam-packed with students.
Most were trying to search for Weapon Techniques, Incantations or self-buff Spells.
Neo moved towards the Time Element Spell section.
"A spell to revert time for an object…."
He looked at the catalogue placed at the entry point of the Time Element Spell section.
There were many Spells that suited his requirements.
Their price, however, made his eyelids twitch.
"The cheapest one is [Rewind Enchantment].
"A Resonance-ranked Spell that costs 1,000 credits."
He took out his device and checked the balance.
[Credit Balance: 729]
"500 credits came from Student Council while the other 100 came from an S-rank mission.
"I would have only 229 credits without them."
Neo clicked his tongue.
"It's too low.
"I need to grind quests for a few weeks."
Neo left the library.
He visited the mission hall.
After selecting a few missions, he went up to the mission distributor.
"Sorry, sir, you can't choose these missions."
"…"
"To choose a C-rank mission and above, your team needs to have 5 active members at the minimum.
"Unfortunately, you have only 3 active members right now."
Neo pursed his lips.
He forgot such a basic detail since he always left the team-handling tasks to Jack and never bothered with them himself.
He left the mission hall.
"Two more members.
"Should I just take some randoms?"
Quite a few non-God Clan students had yet to join teams.
They were waiting for the 2nd semester to begin.
In 2nd semester the student ranks would be rearranged, and they would get a higher chance of joining a better team as long as they could improve their rank.
He entered the cafeteria.
As he stepped into the building, his eyes searched for Ophelia, only to find Morrigan.
She was eating breads.
Unsurprisingly, her plate was filled with a lot of them.
"I want her."
Neo decided.
He went towards her and sat in front of her.
Morrigan's face soured.
She ignored him and focused on her plate.
"You know, you should eat high-calorie food to restore your energy instead of eating this cheap bread in large quantities.
"I bet half of the students call you glutton."
"…!"
Morrigan froze.
She raised her eyes and glared at him.
"I'm just saying the truth."
Neo shrugged.
She clicked her tongue and started munching down on the bread.
"Is it because you don't have credits to buy proper food?
"You can join my team—"
"Will you please stop talking? It's annoying."
While the two talked, Ophelia entered the cafeteria.
She noticed Neo and approached him.
Her eyes shined when she saw Morrigan next to him.
"Miss Morrigan! I'm a big fan! Can you please give me your autograph?"
She took out a small diary and a pen.
