Afterward, Vincent utilized 13 units of life energy to activate the function of his system multiple times and absorbed the knowledge of more than a dozen books before he finally managed to gain a certain understanding of the somewhat adverse condition affecting his cute girlfriend.

"There's a high chance that the uncontrollable transformation to her bestial form that occurs whenever her emotions are out of control is related to a bad experience in the past that traumatized her," Vincent concluded after digesting the knowledge stemmed in his subconsciousness. "Why didn't she tell me about it?", he thought without thinking.

‹ There are two possibilities. First and foremost, she simply doesn't want to tell you about it right now. It's only been a few days since you officially became her boyfriend. It will take time for her to share such deep and personal stuff. After all, it's hard for humans to open up about their past traumas even to their loved ones ›

As soon as he heard the words uttered in a monotone voice, Vincent agreed that it is up to Leilani to decide whether or not she wants to share her past. Still, he will by her side when she is ready to open up about her past so that she can lean on his shoulder for mental and physical support.

"For the time being, I should act sensible and not mention the word 'past' in front of her."

‹ That's great ›

"What is the second possibility?"

‹ Secondly, it's not certain that she knows about it. She might have forgotten what happened to her. After all, beings with humane characteristics and tendencies tend to suppress awfully sad and hurtful events at the back of their minds, subconsciously. Yet, their bodies remember ›

Vincent's eyebrow raised. "There is a high possibility she doesn't remember anything about her possibly traumatic past at all. However, her body hasn't forgotten the trauma. She will remember what's been hidden in the back of her mind if I talk about it. And I will end up hurting her rather than helping her. Right?"

‹ Yes ›

Hearing the system's words, Vincent's eyes flickered in a profound light as he calculated the ways to help her.

"There's only one way I can help her come over her fears, subconsciously without helping her," Vincent's eyes flared in obsession as he continued, 'Stay close to her, occasionally touch her, become an important part of her life, as important as oxygen is for humans. She won't refuse me subconsciously and consciously once I conquer her body, heart, and soul."

‹ That's right. I hope you have a happy love life like the ninth ›

At the mention of his father, Vincent subconsciously smiled.

Although they haven't spend a lot of time together, Vincent knew that his father was a great man that loved his mother a lot.

"I should get one energy purifying magic technique and an offensive magic technique."

After a few moments, once Vincent cracked his knuckles and stretched his tired body, he started to peruse through the catalog, which demonstrated dozens of magic techniques on a single page.

"There are too many magic techniques."

There were thousands of pages and each page contained information about dozens of books.

Vincent knew that a lot of them were trashy books with good catalogs and names.

He will have to waste days here to get a good book.

"I can't decide which one I should choose." Vincent sighed as he couldn't come to a decision.

Noticing his agony, Blood popped up a helpful notification in front of him.

‹ I can search for the best meditation technique for you by using my energy sensing function ›

"Oh, how does that work?"

‹ You see, there's a high chance for a book written by a powerful existence to contain the aura of its creator. From what I have seen through your eyes, I have calculated that the books inside the library are original rather than copies. While using energy sense as a radar that detects energies in a certain radius around you, I can determine the quality of a book by scanning its aura. The powerful the aura feels, the better the book will be. I will tell you about the best book for purifying magic power once I obtain the results. However, it will cost 3 units of purified life force. Will you accept? ›

"I accept!"

‹ -3 XP ›

‹ Remaining XP: 0 ›

He was left with no experience points, but Vincent thought that it was well worth it. After all, he will be obtaining the best magic techniques out of all the books present in the library, rather than an off-the-mill book with an extraordinary name and synopsis.

On the other hand, once it was provided with enough energy to run its newly unsealed function as an energy-sensing radar, the system could sense that there were hundreds of thousands of books placed inside circular orb containers.

Out of roughly a million books, A few books were flickering in auras of distinct colors, and Blood scanned the ones with the brightest aura to find out their names.

"Tenth, the following are the best magic techniques in the entire library…"

Blood listed the name of the best techniques to its owner.

Vincent called out the Search Panel, immediately entering the names of the few books just mentioned by his system.

Suddenly, rows of information appeared on the holographic panel.

[Mana infusion]: It was a technique that infuses mana into a person's weapon to amplify its damage. However, it consumed a lot of mana. Still, it was useful to Vincent as he could infer that this technique worked well against creatures with thick hides and good defense

There was a technique that could increase a person's speed by a few times, but it came with a miserable restriction. A single-use depletes all of the user's stamina!

The moment he saw the name of the next technique, he shook his head in disappointment.

It wasn't even worth considering.

"Hmm." Vincent sounded a long and thoughtful hum before he decided upon the two techniques he wanted to obtain.

The first one he choose was the energy purifying technique that purified magic power into mana by using a set of hand signs to accelerate the flow of magic power so much that it will generate heat that will kill impurities—Flame Energy Evolving Technique Lower Sun Scripture.

He used his last chance to obtain a magic technique for free to obtain [Mana infusion] for obvious reasons. The strength of his weapon will increase in power as mana is consumed!

By the time he finished picking up the techniques he wanted to learn, it was time for the weapon training class to begin. So, Vincent stored the two magic technique he owns in the spatial storage and deactivated the privacy barrier by taking out his quantum card, stored it in the space of his storage ring, and walked out of the library, heading towards the place where the instructor of weapon training will hold his class today.

"Blood, was it wrong for me to do that?" Vincent asked in his mind after a moment.

Blood didn't need extra words to understand the meaning behind his words.

‹ I can only say that life goals and happiness are two different things. You want to help your uncle to repay your gratitude. On the other hand, Leilani is your happiness, while helping others, ending the war, and bringing peace to the races, are your goals. Fulfilling the dreams of your parents isn't much different from a goal either. I hope you don't live a sad life like the ones way before you, and I advise you to follow the footsteps of the ninth and pursue your happiness well over everything else ›

"Chasing after love, strength, and multiple desire at the same time, am I being too greedy?"

He was feeling weak-hearted. He was just a teenager, after all.

‹ Greed stems from wants and needs. To want is the natural desire of all living beings. When a person is hungry enough to die, they will desperately look for food, a single bite will fill them with bliss. It's not wrong for you to try to obtain what you desire. Don't falter and chase after everything you want ›

As soon as he heard those words, Vincent shrugged the weakness creeping up to his mind, and he decided to cherish the people he loves without thinking too much about it.

"I wonder what Leilani is doing right now. Maybe she will participate in today's special class."

Vincent's eyes turned gentle as the image of his cute girlfriend popped up in his mind as he walked through the winding path to reach the weapon training class while using the map projected in front of him as a guide.
