After Quinn had finished unpacking, he was free to do what he wanted for the rest of the day. It was still noon so he had plenty of time to explore the academy on do what he wanted.
Quinn was currently sharing his room with two people and to his surprise, he knew both of them. One of them was Vorden while the other was Peter. There were three single beds in the room each spread out from one another but other than that the room was pretty empty.
Students were expected to spend most of their time studying or practicing their skills. there was no time for pleasure.
"What do you guys want to do then?" Vorden asked.
"I’m still unpacking, you two don’t have to wait for me, do what you want," Peter replied.
Peter had opened up a little to the two of them, at first he was completely shy and hardly said a word but slowly Peter seemed to be coming out of his shell especially around Quinn. Peter most likely felt comfortable around Quinn knowing that he was a level 1 ability user like himself.
"I was thinking of heading to the library," Quinn replied, "that will probably be too boring for you."
"Boring, I can make anything fun, besides I haven’t read a book in..." Vorden paused for a while. "I can’t even remember the last time I read a book." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The three of them laughed and then Vorden and Quinn decided to head to the library together. Finally, they had arrived and the first floor was already busy with students. Quinn noticed that there were multiple round desks spread out where students were sitting and In the middle of the desk was a glowing orb.
"Ahh, you’re probably wondering what that Orb thing is in the middle aren’t you?" Vorden asked, "It looks like they don’t have them at public schools. If you touch the orb, then it allows you to create a space, in that space, only those people who have been invited can be heard. This way people are able to talk and chat as much as they want while not disturbing others."
"Technology sure has come a long way."
Quinn and Vorden then chose a table that had two other people sitting on the other side. Just as Vorden had said, Quinn could see the two talking but couldn’t hear a word of what they were saying. The orb seemed to only have a range of the table though. Once you left the table others were able to hear you as normal.
Quinn went looking around the library and picked out as many books as he could about abilities. Most of them describing what different types of abilities the world had. Vorden wasn’t too bothered and decided to just select a random fiction book to read.
The two sat at their tables while Quinn started to flick away. After reading several books Quinn had discovered nothing new. He already knew about most of the abilities written in the book but not one of them mentioned an ability like Quinn’s.
Vorden had been keeping a close eye on Quinn and noticed the type of books he had been picking out.
"What’s with all the books, are you looking for something in particular?"
Quinn thought about it for a while before giving Vorden an answer. Vorden wasn’t the brightest person when it came to academics but he was quite knowledgeable about abilities it seemed. He would have to be because of the type of ability he had.
"I was trying to decide what ability to get since I turned down the school’s offer."
