Magnificent crystal chandeliers hung from the central glass dome of the library, each embedded with an artificial Hex Crystal, illuminating every corner of the library with a soft glow, as if through it one could witness the prosperity of Piltover.
Wherever the light reached, perfectly fitted marble slabs were joined together, their carved patterns forming a complete and intricate map of Runeterra, proclaiming the power of Piltover.
Durin began searching the vast library, constantly moving through the sea of bookshelves. First, he needed to find a book that could explain whether a Mage could study two different elemental spell attributes.
Secondly, he needed to understand Runeterra's tolerance for necromancers and the conditions for studying necromantic spells.
After a while, Durin finally pulled two books from the shelf, titled 'On the Feasibility of Necromancy in Runeterra' and 'How to Become a Qualified Specialized Mage'.
Just as Durin was about to choose a spot to sit down and study, he suddenly heard a pleasant female voice call out softly, 'Durin?'
Durin turned his head towards the voice, and upon closer inspection, he saw a black-haired girl holding a book, just passing through the aisle. She seemed to be preparing to leave the library.
And this black-haired, long-straight-haired girl was none other than the leader of the Firearms Shooting Club that Durin had seen before.
Although she appeared to be only about 1.65 meters tall, the invisible aura she exuded gave people the feeling that she was at least two meters tall, like the casual laziness and indifference inadvertently emanating from a pampered princess.
Her exquisite features and makeup made her angular face deeply impressive, and her long, straight black hair looked as if every strand had been meticulously maintained.
Although she was wearing a school uniform, she wore a pair of black high heels, and the earrings she wore along with the necklace on her fair neck immediately gave the impression of being very valuable.
Regarding the situation where some students wore school uniforms and some did not, Durin had specifically asked volunteers at the start of the semester, and their reply was: ordering school uniforms is voluntary, and the school does not enforce it.
Because there are a total of seven sets of school uniforms, if you choose to order them, you have to order all at once, which basically costs 3-4 gold cogwheels.
Due to the high price, some students gave up on ordering school uniforms.
Among the seven sets of school uniforms, there are two for summer and two for winter, and then one each for dance class, physical education, and social etiquette class. If other paid courses require additional customized clothing, extra money must be paid for them.
The standard school uniform consists of a black tailcoat, a high-collared white shirt with a vest, and either black pinstriped trousers or a black short skirt. A matching tie is also required. A full set typically costs around 10 silver lun coins.
The volunteer had also specifically reminded Durin that if he saw any black tailcoats with capes, he shouldn't be surprised, as those were worn by university scholarship recipients.
If he saw someone wearing a vest of a different color, they were the "Shining Stars" of Piltover University each year, the cream of the crop selected from all award winners.
Among them, if someone had all the above features and also wore silver buttons, he should immediately make way. This was because the person was the highest-ranking outstanding student, even having the right to participate in school governance.
Durin raised an eyebrow, because he noticed that the buttons on the black tailcoat of the black-haired girl were not silver, but pure gold.
What did this mean?
A higher status?
Of course, what was most eye-catching was neither her face nor the buttons on her uniform, but the pair of prominent, round, and full breasts above her slender waist, and the fair, long legs crossed beneath her black short skirt.
At this moment, their gazes met, and the black-haired girl raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise, then continued, "Durin, the students from the club came looking for you this morning to inform you about tomorrow's interview screening, but you didn't seem to be on campus this morning."
Durin smiled and explained, "I had something to do this morning, so I didn't come. Where is the interview tomorrow?"
"The Purple Rose Shooting Range. It starts at eight tomorrow morning. I hope you can come early, as you'll need to register and sign in then." The black-haired girl curved her lips into a smile, speaking kindly, "Don't forget."
"Okay." Durin nodded, and the black-haired girl smiled and bid him farewell.
Then Durin walked towards the first-floor hall of the library. He chose a seat by the window, sat down, and opened the first book, "How to Become a Qualified Specialized Mage." The first line that met his eyes was: To determine if you have the qualifications to become a specialized mage, you must see if you have a high affinity for a single element.
Once you choose to specialize in a school of elemental magic, you are forbidden from studying spells from other elemental schools.
"How to Become a Qualified Specialized Mage" essentially explained one principle to Durin from beginning to end: any elemental mage can only focus on one school of elemental magic. It's rare to master two, and those who master more than two are invariably peerless geniuses!
This reminded Durin of a female character in League of Legends. She was naturally capable of mastering three elements, and her words were filled with arrogance and pride, treating everyone with disdain and looking down on them.
