97-secret library




You don't seem to see any of the other students?

No. I'm the only one in this study group at the moment.

 I see.
 If the 'Labyrinth Circuit' that Noel gave me just now was her own 'admission test', then I'm convinced that there are no other members.

 It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can get through the exam, but it's impossible for an average student to get through.

 The laboratory was small but well organized, and I had a good feeling about it.

'Oh. This book is ......?

 I casually pick up a book from the shelf, where I notice an interesting fact.

 It's very old.
 Looking at the publication date, I can see that it was published nearly 50 years ago.

 I wondered about it and looked it up, and it seems to be true.
 All of the books on this bookshelf were published more than 50 years ago. I had never seen them in a bookstore in town.

'The oldest ones are either 100 years old now or ....... Is there anything older than this?

 Maybe I'll find a book from 200 years ago when I was there.
 I had such hopes, but the next words from Noel would shatter my hopes.
