"Tsk, maybe everything is rusted..."

That was the only thing he could say. Of course, he wasn't wrong, everything in the place did seem to have rust on it.

That was probably because it had been too long since it was left and there was probably no one to look after the place.

Because of that most of the things had ended up in a bad condition.

"Sigh, I guess I need to find some other way to break the glass..."

When he took a look at the glass, he could clearly see that the glass was quite thick.

Without a doubt, it could withstand a large impact too with ease.

Probably it was strong enough to block even bullets or missiles.

However, Rin didn't care about those reasons, he just lifted whatever he found in the vicinity and started to throw them towards the glass.

'Bang'

'Bang'

The things kept hitting the glass but not even a single crack was produced. Of course, it was only after 50 minutes he realized that the glass was bulletproof as it was written on the sticker that was pasted on the other side of the glass.

"..."

"Looks like all my efforts were wasteful..."

He kept on staring at the glass as if he hated it to the core.

"Damn, I don't care anymore..."

"Let's just head back!"

He said to himself and started to walk towards the door yet again, but no matter how many times he tried to do that, he would end up returning to the same point near the glass from where he had started.

"Just, what the heck is happening?"

"..."

He just stared into the blank space that was in front of him like an idiot because he was somehow getting back to the same point without even realizing it.

"Is this because of...", he turned his gaze towards the book and looked at it with his eyes widely opened.

He suspected that all these things were happening because of the book, however, he had no proof supporting his claim.

It was just a rough guess based on his intuition and instincts.

'...'

"Argh! I'm fed up with this!"

"Just what the heck man!?"

"Why would you even bring me back!?", he snapped out and his anger took over him.

"Why don't you just get destroyed you piece of shit!"

While saying this, he thrust his right hand with all his might which cut through the air, and then ended up hitting the huge glass.

'Bam'

"..."

"Ouch! That hurt!"

He started rolling on the ground while gripping his own hand tightly.

"Just what the heck is that glass cage? It's way too strong!"

He kept rolling while saying all these things. In a matter of 2 minutes, he calmed down and took a careful look at his hand which had swelled a bit.

"Uh, I give up..."

"I don't want to stay here any longer..."

While saying this he just stood up and rushed outside. He thought that he would end up in the same place as earlier, but this time he was successful in getting outside.

"Really... this place is kind of haunted..."

He just turned back once and then continued towards his home without stopping for even a second.

"..."

'Zwoop'

"Is this for real?"

"..."

All of a sudden a man in a black cloak appeared out of nowhere in the same museum at the same place where Rin had been standing since earlier.

He was glaring at the glass which had a crack on it.

"That human..."

"He was strong enough to crack this glass?"

The person had been wearing a hood which was also black due to which his face was not clearly visible.

But it was for sure that he had some supernatural ability that allowed him to appear suddenly.

"No, a normal human wouldn't have the strength to even put a single scratch on the barrier of Zorsia."

"Just who is he?"

The glass cage was supposed to be bulletproof but that was just a lie. In reality, it was a barrier made by one of the greatest mages of all times - Zorsia.

Her barriers could easily be termed as indestructible, but right now the same had been proven to be otherwise.

"I must closely observe that boy..."

"Perhaps, he might be the one I have been looking for..."

Right after saying this, the person just walked towards the barrier and took look at the book.

Although he couldn't enter it, he could at least see from outside.

"Maybe... just maybe he might be able to wield the inheritance!"

Right after saying that, the person vanished yet again and now everything was quiet again and there was no one in the vicinity.

"..."

'Tap Tap Tap'

"Uh, what's happening?"

"Why am I feeling dizzy?"

Rin could hardly walk straight right now. His eyes were too heavy for him and he wanted to close them and rest for a while.

But he couldn't afford to do that because it had already started to drizzle.

Soon it might end up in a downpour and that too a heavy one. He couldn't just sleep on the road and that too under such rain!

"I need to..."

"Reach home as soon as possible!"

All he was thinking was about the comfortable bed in his room.

He started to walk a bit faster despite the weird burning sensation that covered his entire body.

'Huff Huff'

His home was still away by 10 minutes, but he didn't want to spend all the ten minutes walking towards his home.

He wanted to reach as soon as possible and just this mindset suddenly did something which caused Rin to reach the home in just 1 minute.

He paused and then took a look at the building. It was too dark right now and the building was only visible thanks to the light from the flashes of lightning.

"Yes... I'm home!"

He opened the door by unlocking it with the key which he had and then soon went inside right after closing the door and jumped on his bed.

His body was indeed burning up and he had brought the thermometer to check his body's temperature.

He had placed it right in his mouth just when he collapsed.

The thermometer read and showed 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
