Nothing.
"Nothing!"
The system didn't even react. Total rejection.
On the other side, Genius could already begin to read through the tears... Small excerpt. Critical information.
And his body outside the book began to move, his hand unconsciously trying to pull Tacty.
Haru remembered. "The goal is to get Tacty!"
"I got lost in the obsession with getting information from the book... when the important thing was just to get the ruby!"
When Genius tried to forcibly remove Tacty while it was still half-connected...
The stone shone intensely and...
A magical explosion, a wave of energy expanding, launching Haru and Genius against the shelf behind, knocking down more shelves in a domino effect.
Books flying, dust rising, magical alarms activating.
Haru coughed, stirring up debris.
Genius next to him also coughed, his eyes returning to normal.
Murmurs began, people in trances waking up confused.
"Damn it, what happened!?" Genius shouted. "I was about to get it!"
