If the character is a teacher it makes sense the way you wrote it, if not ot just feels like unrealistic conversation

The character wouldnt say it. It knows the sword. But the narrator should use jargon. People need to be educated about new words

Libraries do not exist for benefits. Digital or physical copies are treated the same way by librarians

You can see a clear cut between sf and fantasy authors who grew up with modern cinema(80's and up) and those before. Movies have hijacked the way to write novels. Actions scenes, descriptions, etc.Just compare Dunsany and Sanderson for example.

Weird obsessions with words count😆
You seems to dont know that the main things that makes SF classics is ideas. Not prose or character dev. Its not like an academic classic
