To the forbidden section

{if game_started = true}

Your quickly duck behind the librarian's desk and grab the key to the only locked door in the room, when Mrs. Fillmore isn't looking. You make your way down the rows of shelves to the door and unlock it after quickly checking no one was around to see you. You deft open the door, enter and close it behind you. Once instead you lock the door behind you and turn to see the room you have come to use as your private sanctuary over the years at the Academy.

From what you can tell, these are Mrs. Claudia's collection of books she didn't want the Tributes reading. Over the years you have read what you can of them and learned what they contained. They were mostly a collection detailing the some odd 30,000 males who were offered up to the tower as sacrifices. You consider your knowledge, simply knowing this makes you concerned about this Academy and the world. You can tell why Mrs. Claudia kept it under lock and key.

However, thanks to the this knowledge, it has allowed you to learn a few things over the years. Such as learning how to read Sanskrit, as most of the books here are written in it. Also you have learned that those who had the best performance on the track and were the most versed in the Tantric arts seemed to keep the doors locked longer. So you split your attention between those two things the last 5 years after learning of this room.
