dewford is peaceful, though that much isn't a surprise considering how far away it is from everything else.

"hello there."

matias offers the front desk lady a smile, completely unaware of who they are.

❝ The Lord Giveth and The Lord Taketh Away

Nia is sitting on the front desk of the Dewford Study Center acting as the front desk manager while wearing a disguise of a nerdy girl and almost no resemblance to her usual look. The library has been decorated with various Christmas ornaments from a Christmas tree that stands tall right in the middle of the reading area and several red ball lanterns with snowflake pictures painted on it hanging on the thread that looms above the ceiling. A man, someone that she has the fortune to meet back at the Snowboy competition - Matias, appears and greets her with a request to challenge Nia. Nia didn't answer promptly as she was in the middle of reading a book but once she finishes the paragraph she puts a bookmark on it and put it on the desk.

"We offer a traditional course and a nontraditional course" Nia starts to introduce how the gym works. Yes, this place is not just an ordinary library but also a gym where Nia is the leader. "The traditional course is where you will fight directly the leader in either a single or double battle and prove yourself on doing a creative tactic" Nia starts to explain while giving out a pamphlet about it. "While the nontraditional battle will test your knowledge, the detail on how it works can be read over here" Nia gives him another pamphlet filled with the mechanic of the nontraditional battle.

"Which one would you pick, sir?" Nia asks politely while she still not introducing herself. There is no nameplate present on the desk so there is no way for anyone to know the name of this front desk manager.

after a bit of a wait that he doesn't mind, the receptionist responds, and matias chuckles in return.

"you make it sound like we're at a restaurant."

still smiling, he makes his choice.

Nia just smiles toward the comment that Matias gives, "Good choice, Matias. As the pamphlet says, you will receive a riddle on every floor from each clerk at every floor. This is your first riddle and if you have any questions about the system, feel free to ask me or the clerk on every floor. However, to ask hint find the worker that roams around within the vicinity." Nia explains, completely forgetting that he hasn't actually introduced himself before jotting down his name to her gym record. and gives him the first riddle.

My body is entirely blue.
I am the taller of the two.
My brother is a fighting type too.

the fact that he hasn't actually introduced himself doesn't ever dawn on him. he simply nods his head, takes the note, and reads the riddle.

"thanks. and what do i do once i have the answer? just tell it to you?"

he looks up at her.

Nia want to give him a gold medal for the quick answer without any pauses in thinking which makes Nia make a mental note that while the first floor should be easy - She doesn't want it to be answered this fast, perhaps she needs to adjust the difficulties in the future. "Congratulation, you manage to answer it correctly" Nia press a button that is hidden under the desk to reveal a lift and stairs that lead upstairs. If he decides to pick the lift, all he can find is the button to the second floor only. "I forgot to explain that part huh, yeah. You can give your answer to the respective front manager on each floor where they will give you the next riddle for the next floor. Talking about that, here is your next riddle and you can give the answer to the front manager on the second floor." Nia takes the note and gives him another note.

I begin with the start of Barboach
I end with the start of Rapidash
I have the name of a light source
But I am not light
Who am I?

"cool. thanks."

he takes the note, then steps into the lift, and up he goes to the second floor.

by the time the doors open, he's already settling on an answer as he approaches the manager.

❝ The Lord Giveth and The Lord Taketh Away

Nia takes off her disguise and enters a special elevator that directly takes her to the highest point of the building when the second-floor manager makes a contact to her telling that the challenger manages to answer it promptly. Nia nods as she silently goes to the highest floor.

The second-floor manager is a well-endowed woman that can easily be mistaken as a model, her tight that is wrapped with the stocking that fits with the occasion of this season often made the visitor take a second glance at her. Matias quickly approaches her and gives her the answer to the second riddle. "A smart guy is hot, don't you think" She smiles flirtatiously while rummaging something from within her drawer. The floor is filled with a PC that can easily be accessed by the visitor that is connected to the internet and the library database, a place that can easily be used by Matias in case he needs some help. However, by using the PC it will be counted as a single hint out of three hints that he can use.

"This is your third riddle and now it is an audio riddle. Hope you can answer it, hot stuff. It can be tricky, so be careful~" The manager gives an audio recorder to Matias.

"nice outfit."

but now comes the third riddle, and it sure is a hard one. he narrows his eyes, unable to come up with an answer just yet.

The man doesn't waste any time asking for the hint, the manager touches the bottom side of her lips with a seductive look. "The sounds are clearly being altered in a way that it might have been coming out of the mirror world. That's the hint that I can give it to you now~ You have two hints lefts, good luck! You can use the facilities here to help you find the answer" The manager tells Matias with the hint

The PC screen flickered to light revealing two different applications, a reverse audio application and speed adjustment application. The PC has a cable to connect to the recorder device which will automatically connect to any of those devices. Using any of the apps will cost you 1 hint which will leave you with 1 hint.

"Cogratulations~ You guessed it right. Stay sharp and proceed to the next floor where the next floor manager will give you a riddle" The lady claps silently, gesturing to the stair that leads to the third floor. Once Matias reaches the third floor, an elderly man with thick eyeglasses greets him within the room that is filled with varieties of pictures and murals all across the room - Making you forget for a moment that you are in fact within a library and not an art museum if it wasn't for the fact that there are still a row of bookshelves around the room.

"Ah, sonnie c'mere. If you are here than you must have a great brain within your head" The old man chuckles loudly despite they are within the library right now. Yet, the visitor and the staff there completely ignore it as if they are used to his antique by now. "Ah, you are here not to listen to an old man's rambling aren't you? Well, here you go sonny, make this old man proud" The old man gives Matias a picture the size of a stamp.
