�Should I just memorize the whole thing?�

Shirone shook his head.

�While it�s important to memorize it, it�s more important to be able to pull it out of my mind anytime. Understanding even a single event is the quickest way to building a proper foundation!�

It wasn�t easy understanding history.

This was because he had to identify in depth why such an incident was inevitable and how it had affected the future.

Efficiency had dropped significantly and it had reached a point where Shirone couldn�t finish a book even after a week.

Naturally, the days he slept in the library became more frequent, and he would, at times, collapse as if he were about to faint.

Four in the morning.

The iron gate opened and Temuran with a crystal lamp came in.

Temuran would come in at this time every day to check on Shirone, who was oblivious to this fact.

His eyes turned to the book at Shirone�s feet.

�It�s the same!�

Even though it was not a difficult one to read, the book had not changed for the past 15 days.

Temuran snorted.

If Shirone was furiously mastering those practical books, he was going to ban him from accessing the library aside from working hours.

But it was complete nonsense. He was a fool who dreamed an absurd dream.

�Of course. Being a child of lowly commoners, what kind of success could you have?�

While you have to be smart to get ahead in terms of studies, you also have to be clever and know how to think intelligently.

Temuran, who only thought of Shirone as a child with a nonsensical, grand dream, thought he was far from promising.

Three months later.

Shirone gradually got more used to the classifying job. He also learned several pieces of information through the male servants.

The most shocking fact of all was that the nobles didn�t care if the books were leaked.

In any case, the busy nobles who already had a lot on their plates were not interested in whether or not a few books were to disappear.

But that did not indicate less danger.

An aristocrat could only have a laid-back attitude if he had the loyalty of the commoners.

Servants, to prevent even the tiniest of mistakes, could become cold and heartless.

Commoners had to risk their lives in order to not catch the attention of the nobles.

Shirone could tell just how different the two lines of thinking were from each other. JrNovels.com
