"Hah, my God! I've been in the library too long again," I muttered. I felt enchanted by the beauty of the sky and fell in love with the calming atmosphere outside the building to the point where I lost track of time.
I started walking towards the dormitory with a smile on my face, forgetting the fatigue of today and letting nature greet my heart.
Suddenly, I saw Professor Aria Star chatting with the dormitory residents. She seemed to see me and rushed over to me.
"Good afternoon, Moon. How are you?" asked Professor Aria Star greeting me.
"Good afternoon, professor. I'm fine," I answered with a smile. "You look like you've just come from the library, Professor!" I added, examining the book he was holding.
"Yes, I always look for a calm atmosphere in which to read a book. It feels the same as the calm we can feel in a room designed with green colours in a hospital," said Professor Aria Star with a small laugh. A comfortable atmosphere is necessary for all of our activities.
"Sorry, Professor. I was just from the Undermoon Academy library earlier. Why didn't I meet the prof?" I asked Professor Aria Star.
Professor Aria Star smiled, "Oh, maybe we missed each other in the library. Moon, are you busy?"
"No, Professor. I have a lot of free time," I answered simply.
"Then, can I ask for your help? Don't worry! I'm not asking for help in exchange for thanks. But I will also give you something you need," said Professor Aria Star, smiling while showing a jewellery box containing a beautiful bracelet.
"If you succeed in doing what I ask, I will give you this bracelet as a gift. It will help you return to the real world or where you came from. You will definitely need this item to be able to return to your home. I asked my friend to make this bracelet. I think, "Only you can help me, so in return, you will be given this bracelet," said Professor Aria Star hopefully.
"Professor Aria Star, I am very surprised by the offer you made. Even though I really need the magic mirror, I hope the Professor keeps this bracelet. I will help the Professor without expecting anything in return," I said sincerely.
"Thank you for your kindness, Moon. Now, come with me? To my office. I'll show you something you have to do," said Professor Aria Star happily.
"Yes!" I answered briefly and enthusiastically, and I followed Professor Aria Star to her office.
The dormitory residents who saw the arrival of Professor Aria Star and I, who followed her to her study, became curious. They wondered what was going on in the Professor's study.
"Hi! Isn't that Lily's friend? They are working together on something important.
"What are they discussing? I'm not sure, but it's definitely something interesting. Doesn't that girl not have magical powers like us? Why is Professor Aria Star so interested in that weak girl?" taunted a girl in the dormitory.
"Hahaha... it's like you don't know! Professor Aria Star is crazy about ancient letters, so she has many books written by her. Almost no one can understand the ancient letters. Theo and Grey just gave up on "Professor Aria Star because it was difficult to read and understand the letters. But the girl seemed to want to look for a face in front of Professor Aria Star," said a dormitory resident mockingly.
They must understand Moon's true potential and abilities to look down on Moon and Professor Aria Star.
Meanwhile, in Professor Aria Star's study. Moon sat opposite the Professor. This study contains ancient books and several thorny plants with black leaves.
Professor Aria Star took a book from the bookshelf and placed it on the table before Moon. The Professor began to remove the brown envelope from the book. The envelope contains a letter.
Professor Aria Star held a piece of paper, "This is a letter I received from my friend. We have been separated for a long time. Now, I don't know where she went. I came to my friend's house, but I didn't find her there. Her belongings were still there. There, but not with her. I think if I succeed in solving this mystery, I can find my friend again."
Professor Aria Star continued, "I need your help, Moon. You can read ancient letters like me, right? I'm sure you can also read my friend's writing in this letter." Moon nodded enthusiastically.
The Professor began to give letters to Moon and gave clues about the ancient letters used in the notes.
"I'm really sorry. I don't know what my friend meant. He repeatedly sent letters with mysterious contents. He said he was fine, but when I asked what had really happened, he didn't give a clear answer. Moon, Help me find out what really happened to my friend," complained Professor Aria Star in a confused tone.
"Of course, Professor Aria Star. I will try to read this letter carefully and try to understand the meaning of the Professor's friend's writing," I answered with a friendly smile.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door from outside.
"Please come in!" replied Professor Aria Star while stopping the conversation with Moon.
Grey Wolfred walks into this room, noticing the room is filled with ancient books and thorny plants. Grey smiled sarcastically, seeing that Moon was in this room, too.
"Prof, are you asking someone again to decipher the contents of that unclear letter?" said Grey with a hint of displeasure.
"So far, no one has managed to understand the contents of the letters. I want to meet my friend. Last time, we talked about an evil force that went out of control and might be connected to my friend's disappearance," said Professor Aria Star seriously.
Grey Wolfred nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, it's better not to involve a child who just arrived and doesn't have any magical powers."
"I understand your concerns, Grey," said Professor Aria Star. "But Moon has extraordinary abilities in reading ancient letters and analyzing texts. You didn't realize that, did you, Grey?"
"I don't care about the girl's abilities. The most important thing is not to involve other people who are weak or at high risk," said Grey firmly.
