On top of that, she has to constantly battle the weakness of her own body. But with her love for books burning in her heart, she gives her all to her new apprentice duties. Thus begins part two of this bibliofantasy! (Source: J-Novel Club) *Note: This entry covers 95 chapters of the webnovel (chapter 078 - 172).*
