The Greatest Sinner

In high spirits, Evan headed for the exit of the Academy. He was tired as it was a daunting task. But, he had only completed half of the plan. He needed to memorize all the information he had saved. Evan was going to do that also with the help of 71st demon Duke Dantalion.

An hour later, Evan was at home. He had spent the whole twenty-four hours in the library without resting. It really drained him a lot, but he needed to finish the work before going to bed.

He went down to the underground floor and quickly drew a sigil of the 71st demon, Duke Dantalion. This time the sigil was of the first level. Even the weakest demon essence could handle the task he needed.

Evan activated the sigil, then concentrated and entered "Nirvana." The old, battered book was already waiting for him there.

He calmly said his wish: "Turn all the saved books in my mind into knowledge. I must know everything so that I can tell in which book, on which page the exact information is written."

The book opened, and a few seconds later, Evan saw the price for his wish.

"All your mana."

It's worth noting that the books were already in Evan's mind, and he could read each of them if he wanted to. Simply put, Evan was asking the demon for the ability to read 20,000,000 books in one second. Given Evan's current strength, the price for such a request could not have been the years of his life.

Evan was very tired, he didn't have an ounce of energy in him, but it had nothing to do with his mana, which is why the demon asked for just that.

"I agree."  Evan calmly replied, and the mana from his "Warp" began to disappear at the exact moment rapidly.

When Evan's crimson "Warp" was completely empty, the book opened and millions of symbols headed for Evan's glabella.

To endure such a thing was a real challenge. Evan was ready for it, so he gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Countless amounts of information filled his mind. Different topics, knowledge of many fields, about various things, and even people were now in Evan's mind. Moreover, he remembered it all as if he had read each of these books several dozen times himself.

But, with each passing moment, he found it more and more difficult to endure that feeling. It was truly unbearable. He felt as if his brain was being torn apart. The knowledge was enriching, but it also strained his brain a lot at the same time.

There was no telling how much time passed, but when this process was finally over, Evan immediately passed out.

...

Ten days later, Evan opened his eyes. He slowly stood up and, holding his head, muttered: "Fuck...if I had drained all the bars in this town yesterday, I'd feel better than now. Even now, my head still hurts, but I've done it. "

Continuing to hold his head Evan headed for the shower. Even though he had slept for ten days, Evan had almost no energy. He needed to come to his senses and sort through the almost endless amount of information he had received.

< It's tough. I've sacrificed 30 years of my life, and in addition, now I have such a severe headache. Nevertheless, I now know everything in every book on the four floors of the library. Honestly, I didn't expect to be so exhausted. After the battle in the "Half-Dead Forest," I had a lot more energy in me than I do now.>

Evan thought as he got out of the shower. After that, he began to "Create." Evan was very hungry, but he could wait a few more minutes. He needed to replenish his mana supply.

After Evan reached the" One-Pointed Star," his mana accumulation rate increased significantly, but his mana capacity also became much higher. As before, it took Evan about five minutes to replenish his mana supply. The speed was truly unimaginable.

Evan left the house and went to the first snack bar he could find. At that moment, he didn't care what to eat, anything would do. At once, Evan ordered everything on the menu and waited for his food.

The waitress was surprised by this order, it had never happened before, but she quickly brought Evan his order.

For the first few minutes, Evan ate like a wild animal. At that moment, he did not care how he looked, and the basic rules of etiquette did not interest him.

After Evan had eaten a few large and hearty dishes, he realized that it had been a little overzealous to order so much food. He wouldn't have eaten that much food even if he hadn't eaten in a year.

Evan drank an entire bottle of wine, paid for all 200 "Moon Coins," and headed for the Academy. He was full now, his "Warp" was loaded with mana, and his strength and energy were overwhelming.

"Phew, I finally came to my senses. That was really hard." Mumbled Evan as he approached the Academy building.

He came back here for three reasons: first, he needed to choose his first-level spells. Secondly, he wanted to see what lessons were coming up. He entered the Academy over two months ago, but he had not yet been to a single lesson. 

Evan had been busy up to this point, moreover, he now had the knowledge from the Academy's 20,000,000 books in his head. Evan was sure that no student before him had read all these books.

To his surprise, Evan went to the timetable, found his class, and found that he was no longer in it.

<I see, since I'm a student of the first rank now, I've been assigned to a different class, but it doesn't make much difference. If I need any help I can always go to Draven.>

Evan thought, looking for which class he was now in.

<Class C, not bad, do they really think that a person who's just recently become a first ranked student is stronger than almost half of the other students of the first rank?>

To be honest, Evan was a bit puzzled by the situation. He would not have been surprised if he had been assigned to Class F, and that would have been logical since he had not yet proven himself as a first-ranked student.

Many classes did not interest Evan. Most of the lessons to be held soon focused on alchemy and blacksmithing. But, something caught his eye.

<Classes on the basic fundamentals of spell making... curious....>.

As soon as Evan read the topic of the class, a fire lit up in his eyes. Creating his own spells was an incredible opportunity. Evan understood that it was probably very difficult. Few people would be able to create a powerful spell that was better than hundreds of others. But, Evan never stopped in the face of difficulty. His interest was growing by the second, and he couldn't wait for class to start.

Luckily, the lesson would be in just two hours. You could say Evan was right on time.. All he had to do was keep himself busy until the class started.
