Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 40 The Disaster At The Academy’s GatesWhat the old patriarch saw made him more puzzled than comprehensive. In front of his eyes, that kid killed monsters, grabbed their cores and these cores crumbled and turned into dust.
No matter how he tried to explain this, he couldn't. William's way was simply revolutionary to him, especially when he noticed something else that shocked him.
"His spirit power is increasing?!!!" This came as the greatest shock besides what William did to his granddaughter. "How come he increases his power by just walking around, touching cores, and turning them into dust?!!!"
He couldn't pinpoint the issue here. But from what he saw, William wasn't just a simple spirit master. He used various fighting ways and tricks that even such a big shot in the spirit world didn't know about few of them.
It was obvious to such a veteran spirit master's eye; William had such vast and deep fighting experience that went beyond his age.
The words William said before to the Golden Sky kids rang in his ears. The old patriarch didn't take such words seriously before. But right now, he had no reason except to take what William said as the truth.
How old was William? According to his best estimate, he wasn't any older than ten years old. How come such a kid had an immense battle experience that could rival even his?!
The old man couldn't tell the reason except for that mysterious master he heard about. Even thinking about that didn't make him any satisfied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs William finally started to return to the academy, the old man was now seeing William in a different light. He wasn't considering him as a porter or a genius forger, but a strong and capable spirit master.
"I have to watch him more often," at this point the old patriarch decided to abandon his previous plans of training outside and focus more on William.
In his eyes, William had a brilliant future ahead of him. Not to mention he was on their side, the side of humans and not a traitor.
On top of that, and from what he saw, he started to believe that if his beloved granddaughter had a chance to become a real powerhouse, then it would only be through the help of this mysterious kid.
Not to mention he grew curious to know the true identity of William's hidden master.
William was oblivious to all this. It might be thanks to the vast difference in the two's strengths, but he never suspected or felt someone was spying on his actions.
As the old patriarch kept following the small group of three in such secrecy, William walked towards the academy while Tina kept asking naive childish questions.
"Do you have ice cream there?"
"Do you have fries?"
"I love festivals! I hope you have a few at the academy."
"Does the young master have a young miss?"
During their walk, the little girl spoke more like this. William at first was attentive to answer all of her questions. But later on, and by the help of Lina's silent gestures using her eyes and hands, he knew it was better to let the little girl ask and answer herself.
Tina was just a dreamer in her own little world. She asked questions, answered them, and even spoke more in detail about the answers she came up with!
As they got out of the forest, William didn't know why he felt relieved. Tina was like a little devil, all talking without a single moment of rest.
"We are here," he said with a silent sigh of relief, "witness by yourselves the beauty of your new home."
"Not bad," Tina looked around as they passed through the main gate, "it's not as good as the Golden Sky academy, but it's ok."
William could only raise his eyebrows. This little girl was really too demanding. Just before Lina could say something to lighten the mood up, a new change occurred.
"Hey, aren't you that porter called William?" a group of disciples standing on guarding duty moved towards them and blocked their path.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe tone they spoke with wasn't friendly, with too much hostility. William frowned when he saw this group of thirty disciples cutting off his path.
He didn't recognise any of them. And that made him question why they stopped him.
What made his frown deeper was that they called him by his name and knew about his current position in the academy right on the spot. He wasn't a known person before in the academy, just a mere porter.
How come they recognized him by just a single glance?
Despite feeling their hostility and having many doubts about how they recognized him, William cupped his hands in a traditional salute and said:
"It's me, William. May I ask what business senior brothers have with me?"
"Humph, you are under arrest. Take him away and kill those girls," the one to speak was a tall youth. The moment William saw him, he couldn't think of anyone else but Guanin.
The two shared many features like they were relatives. Just as the words landed, the group of disciples moved as ten of them went to surround William and the others went towards Lina and Tina.
"Young master…" Tina screamed in panic while Lina gazed in silence towards William.
Under her mask, her face turned cold. If William gave the signal, she wouldn't hesitate to start killing for him.
"Anyone daring to touch a single hair of my friends will die," William didn't hesitate to unsheathe his sword and move to stand in front of the two girls. His move was swift, and no one could stop him.
Even if he didn't know what was going on, he'd never allow something like that to happen. If it meant to start a battle in the campus of the academy, then he was more prepared to do so than those kids in front of him.
"Are you out of your goddamn mind? This is the academy's territory, and you are asking for death by doing so!"
