The old man opened one of his eyes to look at Cole.
"Advancement is possible for those less than the Awakened level; otherwise it will cause too much of a ruckus," The old man responded.
Cole felt slightly elated upon hearing that point; he could feel that advancing in the library was a perfect choice.
It could even be said to be vital for his growth, so hearing the man's words of approval made him quite happy.
"Where do you plan to do it?" The librarian asked.
"Somewhere on the first floor," Cole responded.
"Well, carry on then. If you encounter any problems, I might be able to help."
Cole thanked the old man graciously before turning around to head back into the core of the library.
"He is progressing in the right direction; I hope he doesn't steer off." The old man thought as he watched Cole leave.
The hollow middle section with plants was his exact destination. In that location he felt completely surrounded by books.
