You really need to learn to stop muttering things out loud.
"What a strange place," Ludwig muttered to himself as he continued toward the academy. Little did he know, the tower wasn't as empty as it had seemed. Hidden chambers, secret experiments, and countless mages dwelled within, conducting rituals, studying forbidden arts, and pushing the boundaries of magical knowledge in ways that Ludwig had yet to understand.

"I'll get you Sebas!"
But that wouldn't last forever. He made a mental note of their conversation, their threats, and their arrogance. One day, Ludwig thought darkly, one day, they'll regret this.

Sure, I would wager that won't last more than a day or two...
"I'll keep that in mind, Master Van Dijk," Ludwig said, bowing slightly. He felt odd, receiving so many warnings. The academy would likely be full of young mages, people his age, or at least, the age he had once been. Could he truly pass as one of them?

I really do hate school arcs. So often it is the same recycled cliches over and over again with very little originality to them. I know Biako likes to do things differently, but it is still annoying to see.
"Good," Van Dijk said, satisfied with Ludwig's submission. "Now, the reason I don't want you lingering in this tower is that you possess intelligence far greater than any other undead I've encountered. You reason and think, and your capacity for both seems to grow by leaps and bounds with each passing day. It's as though you're unlocking more of your potential with every second. You need to cultivate that potential, so I'll be sending you to the Black Tower Academy."

I guess that genius ability of his that he glossed over is doing some work here.
The sigil was awkward, to say the least. It was composed of concentric circles, each containing strange symbols between the layers, twisting and turning into one another like some ancient code. Ludwig stared at it, his skeletal mind racing to understand its form and purpose. Yet, despite its intricate design, the sigil was surprisingly simple for him to remember. It etched itself into his consciousness the moment he laid eyes on it, as if it had been waiting for him all along.

Why not use the inspect skill to see what book it is first and potentially see if it is too advanced for you?
He hesitated for only a moment before picking it up again. As his skeletal fingers gripped the cover, he felt the familiar sensation of impending pain stir in the back of his mind.

I thought he found the Necromancy Basics book under a chair or something to stop it from wobbling ?
He stood there for a moment, wrestling with the decision. The logical part of him knew that pain would come again. But what other choice did he have? Sitting idle wasn't an option, and he was desperate for more knowledge, desperate for an edge in this unfamiliar, hostile world. With a resigned sigh, Ludwig steeled himself and walked back to the shelf where he had previously found the book on Necromancy Basics.

Yeah, he is kind of making generalized assumptions based on extremely limited information. I was also thinking that there is a chance that these people are not even part of the Black Tower. Just because the guy is called a Tower Master doesn't mean that he is the Black Tower Master.
He pondered the inconsistencies he had uncovered. The necromancers had defied the rules set by the Gray Tower of Neutrality, the very institution that had imposed strict restrictions on the use of Necromancy. Yet, they had done so without fear of reprisal. This suggested either corruption or a deeper conspiracy at play within the towers.

Passion seems like a very questionable choice here. Kind of makes me think that this would be the perfect place for the Mythbusters if they crossed over to this world... lmao
The Red Tower of Passion: Offensive spells that do incredible damage, and not only fire, even lightning and explosions and the sort is part of the Red Tower. It may delve into chaos and large scale devastation, even to the point of reaching the rims of Dark Magic as blood magic is although forbidden was once a part of the Red Tower's specialty.

That is quite annoying for sure. I knew it was going to be an issue back when he got the skill and even though the tower master said to never use it on a personal the very next thing was the MC musing about using it on people...
Ludwig considered using [Inspect] on the robed figure but thought better of it. He remembered Van Dijk's warning. "They'll feel it."
