Chapter 197 A Wink
As for selecting who to do which was up to his meeting later on with the entire team.
After thinking for long hours about this, he finally felt tired and decided to call it a day.
The next day he woke up and went outside to be met with a weird expression on Tina's face.
She looked as if she got stabbed in the back or something.
"What's wrong with her?" William sat on the table to eat breakfast, and tried to find out what was wrong about Tina. yet the latter kept her silence, not saying anything to him.
She kept her face on her food and didn't say a single word for ten minutes.
"She is sad because you let her down," Lina knew how busy William was, but Tina wasn't like that.
The latter wanted to receive the gift William promised her and her sister before. And when William returned, he locked himself in his room and didn't come out until this morning.
"Come on, since when have I ever lied to you?" William couldn't but inwardly sigh. He had to prepare a few things before doing what he intended to do.
So even if he wanted, he couldn't act right now and help the two sisters. And that made him use another approach to make Tina forget about what he said.
Tina was just like that, getting all hyped and pumped up about anything, to soon forget it when her interest would shift to another matter.
"You once said that we'll live in a big house, just like the ones we lived in before," Tina complained, as she finally started to speak up.
"What about taking you back to my academy? Besides, this place isn't half bad," William knew she wouldn't buy such a thing, so he added, "I was going to buy it myself, but as you are desperately wanting it, I can tell you what gift it was and let you go and buy it."
"Buy? Is it something sold at the market?" Tina's eyes opened wide while she finally let go of this matter, and jumped on another, just like her true self, "is it a cake perhaps?"
"Good guess," William laughed, knowing that he played the little girl in his fingers. And yet Lina kept glaring at him in a weird way from behind the mask.
William knew he could trick Tina, but not Lina. But dealing with Lina was far easier than dealing with Tina.
"I'll write down a few things to buy from the marketplace," William looked at Lina, and she got her answer at this moment.
"What things?" Lina asked.
"More cakes?" Tina jumped, unable to control herself from drooling about this.
"Hahahaha, no, not many cakes," William couldn't help but laugh again, "these are important items, ores, herbs, and such. I want them to do something."
William didn't say much, but his wink at the end of his words made it clear to Lina. he wanted such things to do something for the two sisters, and that cake thing was just a cover up.
"We'll head there after breakfast," Lina said, and Tina was oblivious to all this.
After eating and chatting about the classes, letting Tina's imagination run wild like usual, William went to a study room and wrote down the items he'd need.
"These are enough for now," he knew taking these two through the steps of cultivating their spirit power was going to be something long and tedious.
Not to mention every single step they had to take would require a different set of materials.
"Take these spirit crystals," William gave Lina more than enough to buy everything, "don't forget to buy her all the cake she wants," William winked, and Lina couldn't help but sigh.
"Young master is the best young master ever," and from the side, Tina jumped in the air, laughing in a cheerful way from what William did.
As the two went out, William finally got time to do his last and missing step for tomorrow.
"I can't just instruct them every single time from memory," William picked many empty scrolls from one side of the study room, sat down on his desk, and started to write down the modified versions of the techniques he selected.
Just to be sure everyone would have different techniques to select from, he wrote down three of each main role his team should have.
For offence, he knew using the common techniques wouldn't pique anyone's interest. And the same went for defence.
Yet he wrote down not three, but five in each of these two aspects. He knew if one depended solely on his clan's formidable techniques, then they'd end up consuming most of their spirit power before killing their enemies.
"I got to teach them this thing in real fights," he knew if he used just words to make them depend more on the common techniques rather than their clans' techniques, then he'd fail to do so.
After doing all this, he got out of his room to welcome the two sisters outside.
The two came back hours ago, and yet William dismissed them as he was quite busy. Tina didn't mind that actually, as she planned to offer him a cake of the many she bought.
"He said he doesn't want anyone to disturb him, right?" Tina gave such a silly excuse to eat up all the cakes she bought.
"You shouldn't eat all of them in one go," Lina tried to stop her sister from buying all these cakes, but Tina refused to listen to her. She kept saying that the young master agreed for her to buy any cake she desired.
And that left Lina powerless and helpless, deciding to speak up with William about such an issue later on.
As Tina found William's request to align with her childish greed, Lina didn't feel the same at all. The latter wanted to give the items she bought to William and see what he wanted to do with them.
