Xiao Lin had never fully believed Bells words, but he suddenly thought about something as he furrowed his eyebrows and said, Are you talking about Ibeiya?

Bell narrowed his eyebrows at him. You finally responded.

There wouldnt be something so trivial in my documents, so does that mean someone is investigating me? Xiao Lin was suddenly on alert. He knew that the only way Bell would know anything about him was to check into his documents, and that was nothing difficult for her.

Bell did not deny it, she shrugged and said, There are some things that you dont have the clearance to know.

Even though Xiao Lins personal information had been classified by the old dean, it did not mean that he had the clearance to look at other information. It was obvious that someone was investigating him in secret, and the information they got from the investigation might be even greater than he knew. Of course, Xiao Lin would never be able to know about it himself and, while the little girl in front of him had a lot of power, she was restricted by the same powers. It was possible that her casual words earlier were a warning.

Xiao Lin wisely chose not to mention it, but with that show of goodwill at the start, the negotiations that followed were much easier. Xiao Lin quickly formed a verbal agreement with Bell. Of course, it could only be a verbal agreement. There were too many things between them, such as the trip to the restricted area of the library. That could not afford to have any physical evidence left behind.

Xiao Lin would use Time Rewind for her at a specified time to investigate her birth. As a reward, Bell would tell him how to increase his memorization.

In truth, increasing your memory is very easy. On Planet Norma, they believe that everything holds energy. That means that no matter if we can see it or not, or if we can touch it or not, it can all be converted into energy. With that as the foundation, memory can be converted to energy as well. For instance, the books in your room might look like a lot, but if it was converted into energy, it could only be the size of a fingernail. Memorizing all these books would be difficult for anyone, but what if you could just absorb energy the size of a fingernail?

Bell did not go deep into the theory behind it, and explained things simply. Xiao Lin was deep in thought and quickly understood it. He did not know the science behind it and the overall process. He thought for a moment and asked, I understand everything you said, and it seems logical, but if absorbing energy to remember things was so simple, then why does the academy not use it? At least, Ive never seen anyone do anything like that in any courses.

Because its a forbidden spell, Bell blinked her adorable eyes as she said plainly.

Xiao Lin was once again flabbergasted, and only snapped back after a long time, saying angrily, A forbidden spell? Hold on, if its forbidden, then theres definitely a side effect, so whats the side effect?

Probably something like scrambling your memories, something like a patient of mental illness on Earth, Bell replied.

Xiao Lins lips twitched as he said, Alright, then well stop here. Im going to sleep. Good night.

Bell slyly laughed. You need to let me finish. I never planned on letting you use it since Id be in a difficult spot if you had any mental illnesses as well. However, after I looked at the records of your monthly examination, I changed my mind. If anyone in the academy could perfectly cast that spell, it would be you.

Does it have something to do with the monthly examination?

That power you used when you fought against Poseidon. I dont know what it was, but if you have that power, you can digest the memories that are converted to energy, and wont encounter any side effects!

Xiao Lins expression mellowed out as he furrowed his eyebrows. Myth? Are you telling me I need to absorb the books under Myth?

Myth? Bell muttered it a few times before saying, What an uncreative name, but thats right. Just like you said, you need to put yourself into that state before you can perfectly absorb and digest it!

Xiao Lin fell silent for a moment before saying, Do you know the price for using this power is my lifespan?

I know. Bell nodded.

Then do you know I only have twenty years left?

Bell continued nodding.

Then do you also know that Ill be participating in the Inter-academy Tournament soon?

Bell nodded like a chick eating rice, and asked, But dont you only have twenty years left?

Xiao Lin paused.

Bell continued, I know about the tournament; the finals are held in the New World. I might not have been there before, but all the information Ive seen says that youll lose twenty years of your life if you die there.

Xiao Lin understood, and he smiled bitterly, I understand now. Since I only have twenty years left, I would die forever if I die once anyway, so twenty years is not much different from a year or two, so I shouldnt care so much. Am I right?

Right. dDont you say on Earth that theres no use crying over spilt milk?

Xiao Lins face twitched as he rubbed his forehead. Setting aside whether he was spilt milk or not, he said, Honestly, I dont even know how much lifespan using Myth consumes. The last time I used it, I used up a few decades. At a rate like that, I cant be sure if I wont die the next time I use it.

You have me. You actually dont need to make such a big deal about it. Youre not the first one to use this method. Bell narrowed her eyes at him.

Didnt you say no one else can safely use this other than me in the academy?

Thats right.

Fine, then who used this before me from another academy? Lilith?

Ivan. Ivanovich. Yes, it was him. Many years ago, he came to Dawn Academy and used that skill to master a lot of the spells unique to our academy in an instant.

Xiao Lin fell silent for a moment, and he remembered the recording he had seen before. Ivan seemed to be friends with Song Junlangs father, so that man coming to Dawn Academy before was not something too surprising.

He shut his eyes for a moment, recounting that short but shocking fight. It was a scene he would never forget because anyone who saw it for themselves would not be able to stop themselves from realizing how insignificant they were in the world. Under the pressure of that meteor Ivan summoned, anyone would lose all hope.

Fine, I understand. Since Ivan used it before, Ill agree to it!
