Sorting Books

Job Description::

It was another sunny day in Fiore, one could say that it was a little warm for comfort. Thankfully for his next job, Jeon doesn't have to go out in this blistering heat. Although the job does require some lifting and arrangement, this was easy peasy for him since he brought along his Skeleton Posse. Jeon and his crew marched through the corridors leading to the guild's great library.

Bony hands pushed the library's great wooden doors open and held them in place so that their master and fellow skeletons enter the library. Upon entering the library, they were greeted by a nice woman. "Hello there!" the old lady would say, with a sweet smile. Jeon gave the old woman a short nod. "You must be the help our guild master had sent to sort out the books on the second floor." the old lady followed up.

"Quite perceptive..." thought Jeon, although with a dozen skeletons flocking behind him it would have been obvious. Though the fact that a sweet old lady wasn't scared by his minions is another thing that puzzled him. He just shrugged off the thought and spoke. "Yes, and that way correct?" as he gestured for the spiral staircase leading to the second floor. Taking the old lady's nod as confirmation, Jeon and his skeleton posse headed towards the stairs that would lead them to their destination.

The first floor was wide and spacious, with rows upon rows of shelves housing various books lining from one end of the room to another. There were areas where guests could take the books they want and sit by the table and discuss the contents with friends or for the more private one, a quiet niche where one can read to their heart's content without anyone ever bothering them at all. The centerpiece of the library was the winding spiral staircase, for in its center hangs a majestic chandelier powered by light lacyrmas. It was as if there was an open hole in the center of the library that allowed the sun's natural light to come rushing into the great library, minus the tanning and warming effect.

Jeon was too busy enjoying the scenery of the library that he failed to notice that they had already arrived at their destination. The second floor of the library was also well-lit thanks to the light of the chandelier. However, it had fewer rows of shelves as the second floor also housed various trinkets housed in glass cases on one side. Upon closer look, they look like medallions and small crystalline figurines. "Probably medals and trophies the guild had accumulated through time." Jeon thought to himself. "You guys stay away from that place alright, no going to that area, just here." He said to his skeleton minions. The skeletons nodded in unison to their master's commands. "Now, onto for sorting, we go."

After checking most of the shelves, he can safely assume that they can be divided into 4 major categories. History pertains to books that are more or less historically accurate documentation of events that had occurred in a particular region of Fiore or even outside of the kingdom of Fiore. Magic Books, are the accumulated knowledge of magic. Lost magic, curses, known re-quip magic and even the book about the zodiacs fall under this category. Next was Flora and Fauna. As is suggests, this includes the compendium of known plants and creatures within Fiore as well as the neighboring countries. The last category was legends. This one was tricky since they do have hints of history in them although no one has ever proven that it happened, just through word of mouth.

"Alright, now that we know which is which I want you guys to split into four groups. Group 1, you handle books on history in place them on shelves over there." Jeon said as he pointed to the shelves near the stairway. "You three, you collect the magic books and place them on shelves over there." said the brown eye mage as he pointed to the shelve right by the windows. "Team bandana, you go and take care of flora and fauna books on the shelved right by the comfy-looking hideaway spot." Jeon ordered the skeletons with red bandanas snugly wrapped around their neck as he pointed to the shelves that were close to a reading nook. "And you the reaming group, you are in charge of legends. Put them on shelves that are right next to the crystalline glass cases." As if remembering his initial command he added "Just remember not to stray too close to the cased trinkets, alright?" With that, the remaining skeletons marched on to their designated areas.

At first, it was running smoothly for the skeletons were doing the commands he had given them. Although the skeletons had no eyes, they could borrow their master's ability to see as well as read so that they can fulfill the command issued to them. Confident in his minions, Jeon grabbed a book and retreated to the comfy niche he pointed to earlier and began to read. Unknown to him, things had already gone awry as the books were all close to being properly relocated to their designated shelves. Some skeletons from the History group were taking books from the Legend group and vice versa. Some of the skeletons from the Magic book section are also taking books of tamable magic animals into their shelves.

He was in the middle of enjoying his books when he heard the sound of slapping of bones. It seems a skeleton from the history group and legend group had started a slapfest over a book while a skeleton from the fauna and flora group was doing a tug of war book edition with one of the magic book group. Sighing, Jeon let out a short whistle that caught the attention of all his skeleton posse. The skeletons fell in line and he took the books that the skeletons were fighting for.

"Legend of the First Fairy and How to tame a Golem, I see why you were confused. This belongs here..."Jeon said as he place the Legend of the First Fairy in the History section, then moved to the Fauna and Flora section. "and how to tame a golem, here." he said with finality as he placed the book in one of the shelves. "With that, I believe we are done!" the black-haired mage said. Before he could even revel in his success, he felt a faint tug on the sleeve of his jacket. It was one of the skeletons pointing at the book that he was still holding. It was the book titled the house of rings complete edition. Jeon just smirked and said "Not this one, I am taking this out to read it."
