Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master-Chapter 52 The Headmaster’s Sudden Offer

?In his eyes, William was going to be one of the big and powerful powerhouses in the academy during the next ten or twenty years. He also knew that his son didn't die all of sudden. And so, there were lots of chances to get that disobedient grandson under the care of William.

"Oh, how so?" William could guess a thing or two already when he started to think deeply about the hints the headmaster implied. He did something back to Berry, and there was also what happened at the Forging department.

"The forging grandmaster is fond of you, even to the extent of declaring that if anyone touched you, it would be like touching himself! Can you believe that?"

The headmaster said it in such a way while laughing, making light of this matter. William expected a long interrogation, but all he was faced with was this laugh.

And the headmaster didn't bring up the issue of Berry.

"I… Just forged a few arrow heads back there," he honestly admitted it, without delving into many details.

He was sure this old man got to know everything he did back at the Forging department and might even know every single word he said back there.

But if the headmaster himself didn't ask, William wouldn't volunteer and explain.

"Are they the ones you used to detect this toxin with?" the headmaster's eyes flashed, "can you give me some?"

"Sure," William knew that the headmaster wanted to guard against this toxin from now on. After all, his inner circle was infiltrated by the dark spirit masters.

William didn't know what this old man intended to do towards such traitors. But he casually gave a stack of one hundred arrows to him without batting an eye.

"Quite fierce indeed…" and just with holding them, the headmaster could assess their value at once, "they are quite formidable, and can kill any normal silver grade monster… No, they can even wound gold grade ones."

"That's true," William didn't cover up the truth about his arrows' deadly effect.

"Great, now you have one little problem to solve."

"What problem?"

"The Long clan," the headmaster gave him a serious and deep look, "that old fellow is looking out for you. He wants you to go to the clan's base right away. No delay is allowed."

'Berry's grandfather?' William heard a few stories about this crazy and immensely powerful spirit master before in his past life. He heard that in the entire academy, only the headmaster was the sole spirit master able to stop this dude.

"But… I just returned from a long journey outside. I want to get some rest and also register myself as a disciple in the academy."

"Leave the registration and admission thing to my people," the headmaster waved, "but that will take at least a few days. After all, you need to be relocated from that shitty place you lived at so far."

William wanted to say that this shitty place was appointed to him by the academy which that old man led. But he refrained from saying so, fearing to instigate this old man's wrath.

William knew that people in powerful positions always had a hard to grasp temper. So, it was better for him to avoid getting himself into any unneeded trouble.

"A few days…" William was lost in thought. He knew relocating himself would take time, but he never expected it'd take a few days to happen.

He had a small and narrow place where he and the two girls wouldn't be able to properly live.

Not to mention he wanted to do many things during this period of deserved rest.

He wanted to speak with the two girls about the secrets and things they knew about the dark spirit masters. Also, he wanted to see what was special inside that ring of his.

Speaking about such stuff wouldn't happen at such a poor shack. If he did, then anyone could eavesdrop and listen to what the two girls would say.

And lastly there was the issue regarding his techniques. He wanted to train himself after what happened in the forest and in the academy.

He wasn't safe! At any moment, he'd find himself forced to fight against much stronger foes.

His spirit wasn't ready yet to be used. And so, he had only his vast knowledge of techniques to use.

He got a gold grade sword as his main weapon. And he knew lots of fighting techniques related to swords. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

Yet to train at such techniques, he needed a spacious place, better to belong solely to him. It wouldn't be that nice to train over his techniques in front of the eyes of his enemies.

Returning back to his little place was out of the question. And not getting a single day of rest before meeting such a scary person was also out of the question.

"If you want, you can stay here for one night," the headmaster suddenly said, "the place is quite spacious and there aren't many people living here."

William gave the headmaster a deeper look. To him, his thoughts and doubts were all read by this old fox as if he was an open book. Which was something not that nice at all.

"Sure," William said, "but one night can't do. How about I stay here for three days?"

"You have to know that after these three days, you'll have to go to the Long clan," the headmaster looked seriously into William's eyes, "and after coming back you won't remain here, got it?"

William knew the headmaster was telling him that this stay here was temporary. And William had no objection to that.

In fact, he didn't like being under the watchful eyes of such a formidable spirit master. William knew if the headmaster wanted to spy on him, then he wouldn't be able to stop such a scary spirit master forever.

But he had no other option but to accept such an offer. It was better than just staying in his little place and letting everyone spy on him.
