Back in the familiar library, Lloyd thought for a moment before running off to borrow a hefty tome titled Advanced Materials Science, planning to brush up on the subject.
The Chief Judge's earlier words were still on his mind, and he wanted to learn more about the topic.
He found the book quickly and then ran to find Meditis, who was sound asleep on her desk, to borrow the bell.
Without the help of [Intense Concentration], it would probably take him several days to get through such a thick book.
But just as Lloyd approached, Meditis suddenly sat bolt upright and casually tossed the bell onto the desk.
Just as Lloyd reached for it, she snatched it back, as if deliberately teasing him.
"Hee hee, I've suddenly decided I don't want to lend it to you anymore."
"Uh…"
"What's wrong? A bad woman like me is just this fickle."
Meditis said in a sarcastic tone, playing with the bell in her hand as if intentionally trying to provoke Lloyd.
