The Witch Hunter System

”I see… ” Vaan uttered thoughtfully after listening to Hester Thornton ’s words.

In other words, there was a chance that the knowledge from the books on the upper floors was all fake. Such is what it meant to be unverified.

Nevertheless, Vaan felt peculiar and amused by the discovery.

Whether the knowledge is verified or unverified, it would still be breaking the law to peruse High Witch-level knowledge, which was considered restricted knowledge, without the adequate privilege or level.

Thus, even if the rule of the Black Rose Kingdom overlooks it with one eye closed, it could be used as a reason to screw someone over at any time.

Basically, everyone who had perused knowledge on the thirteenth floor and higher had committed a crime. But when and where they will be punished will be entirely up to the whims of the Transcendent Witch of Black Rose, ruler of the Black Rose Kingdom.

However, since Vaan received permission from Helia Ashenborn, the blame would fall on her. It was the same when Eniwse permitted Vaan to read the books in the Blackmoon Academy ’s library.

If Vaan wanted to screw Helia Ashenborn over, he could report to the Transcendent Witch of Black Rose that she was letting countless Senior Witches peruse restricted knowledge in the grand library.

But for Vaan to do that, he had to be important enough to meet the Transcendent Witch of Black Rose, not to mention he had to be sure the Transcendent Witch of Black Rose was willing to administer the punishment.

Although it ’s not a very good card, it was a card Vaan could use, nonetheless—if the situation ever requires it.

…

For most of the day, Vaan spent his time in the grand library, perusing the knowledge on the thirteenth to the fifteenth floor.

Vaan covered many topics besides the history and abomination-related topics he initially sought. This showed Hester Thornton that Vaan didn ’t have any particular goal and simply had a bottomless appetite for all knowledge.

As the day darkened, Vaan covered everything he needed to know in the abomination section, which simply reinforced the plan he had formulated in his mind.

’Before I enter the Red Goblin Mountains, I need to raise my strength level to around the middle stages of rank two. It will be even better if I can also improve my regeneration skill to the mid-rank, ’ Vaan mused before checking his abilities.
