Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

But William wouldn't just grab her hand, go outside, and look for a darkness element monster for her to merge with.

He would help her, but at the right time. He wanted first to make sure she'd agree on what he wanted her to do.

William didn't feel any speck of guilt out of this. He knew at the end, he was helping this little girl, her grandfather, her clan, and her academy.

"This is my sole and only condition," William said it directly in her face, "take it, or leave and don't show me your face ever again."

"..."

Sara thought William would ask for anything else but for her to follow him in such a way. If she agreed, then she'd end up being the follower of him for her entire life.

She also knew William was the first and might be the only person in the entire world to help her in breaking the mysteries of the scroll.

William saw how deeply conflicted and hesitant Sara was, and decided to hit the iron when it was hot.

He folded the scroll again, stored it inside the bottle, before cancelling his spirit power. "Take it," he returned the bottle to her, and she reflexively grabbed it.

Then when she realised what he just did, she got that he was giving her a hint to leave.

"Tsk! Why do you want to lead me around? I'm not that great or authoritative or anything! I won't take the position of the headmaster of the academy after my grandpa, my brother will."

"I got my reasons from doing this," William paused, before adding, "go back now and think deeply about what I said. I'll remain here for one week, then I'll leave. By then, the deal between us will be expired and invalid."

William pointed towards the opened window's direction, and Sara knew she had to leave. And yet her legs couldn't help but faintly tremble, showing how deeply she resisted such an idea of leaving.

"No," and like the time when she hesitated to give him the bottle, she also heaved the same deep sigh of relief, "I'll follow you."

"Are you sure?" William gave her a deeper look, showing that he didn't care that much about the condition he gave to her, "once agreed, you won't be able to move around freely or do things your way."

"I know," she nodded, "but this scroll… It's more important to me than anything else."

"Cool," William knew that she was part of the third year class, meaning that she was a silver grade spirit master, just like her brother.

Yet her brother might already be a gold grade spirit master. "I'm going to hold a grand meeting in two days. Make sure to be here by then."

"What for? With whom?" Sara asked in curiosity.

"I'm gathering up friends for a mission from the Mercenary department," William paused for a brief second before adding, "and they are all part of the second year as me."

"That makes me your senior, hahahaha!"

"Stop dreaming," William evilly grinned, "in my team, there is no one that's suited to be called that but me."

"Tsk! Let me fight you on that position of the leader first," she tried to joke with him, and yet part of what she said was expressing part of her desire.

She never watched William in action before. All she got was hearing stories, and many spoke bad about this kid.

"Keep dreaming," William shortly laughed, "you already agreed to be under me. There is no way out for you from that."

"But…"

"Besides, I got three versions of techniques for you to learn," William knew that she wanted to fight him to get a glimpse on how powerful he truly was.

He was indeed not as powerful as her in terms of spirit power. Yet his knowledge from his past life was enough to make him face her grandfather and give him a lecture about what he should and shouldn't do.

Sara didn't know of how William gave her grandpa immense waves of shock, even to the extent of doubting his origins and intentions at a time.

If she knew, she'd never consider facing William in a fight or question his power or authority.

"What techniques?" she asked, and when William explained things over, she couldn't help but get surprised.

"I know of these three techniques… They are common grade techniques that are taught for all of the disciples in the first two years classes. However…"

"My versions are different," William paused before adding, "they are much stronger and more powerful than what you know. Besides, you have two days to learn how to execute them."

"Two days are nothing to me!"

"Don't underestimate my techniques," William paused before throwing a little warning for her, "anyone who won't be able to grasp the initial grade of these techniques won't follow me."

"Even me?!"

"Especially you," William stressed over this, "I won't go soft on you. After all, you are the only silver spirit master in our team. If others, bronze spirit masters, can do it and you can't, then you have no way to join us."

"..."

"Go back and train," William finally kicked her out of his room for real, "I got other things to do anyway, just like you."

"Tsk! Fine!" she complied at last, storing her precious bottle in her storage ring, "will we join here?"

"In two days, don't forget about that."

"When exactly? The entire day is too long!"

"Let it be when the sun sets," William paused, "our meeting will last for hours. So make sure you won't have anything urgent that night."

"Sure," Sara jumped off the window, vanishing in the depths of darkness outside.

When William realised that close to an hour passed, he sighed. "What's with that scroll anyway?" he got lost in thoughts, while feeling the secrets behind all this wasn't simple.

He never heard of dormant spirit elements running in families before. And to add more to this, the language written was something he never saw before.
