Chapter 72 Someone Else Is Watching
But the end result was clear to him, the final technique was now complete and ready to use with his current low level of spirit power.
And this was the thing he wanted the most from the start.
Even if he didn't yet get to unravel all the mysteries about what the darkness element did, and even if the course of executing this technique deviated from what he initially thought, he was accepting such a result with a grin on his face.
"I now have a thing that can be used against those dirty agents of the dark spirit masters," he clenched both fists, feeling more excitement and energy than the exhaustion he should feel after such a long night.
"I shall give it a name…" and after reaching such a great result in such an accidental way, he started to gather up his materials from the ground, cancelling the array while returning to be all silent about what he decided to call this technique with.
He knew he was closely watched by the headmaster, but he never realised that the two formidable spirit masters already found a way to bypass his array and were spying on every move of his for hours!
"I'll call it the Holy Sword technique," he decided in his mind while finding his way to a randomly selected room, throwing his exhausted body over the bed, and fell into deep sleep.
"This kid… Shall we go and ask him about the name he selected?" the headmaster looked up at his friend, and Kong could only sigh.
The two were quite formidable and well respected spirit masters in the entire world. And yet they couldn't control themselves against such a kid.
The two wanted to know the name of such a scary technique. During the past hours, they got to see and know lots of William's secrets and more details about that technique.
"So…" the headmaster knew this was the end of this surveillance task. After all, two days passed already and tomorrow was the date agreed with William to send him to Kong, "what do you plan to do?"
"He got three rare elements, and not just one," Kong returned again to such a heated debatable issue.
The two heard the words William kept mumbling to himself during the past few hours. They learnt that William was trying to merge three rare elements together in that technique.
And that stirred quite a debate between the two which seemed to not end even after such long hours of talk.
It was a revolutionary concept for the two, especially when they realised that two elements were incompatible with the third one, even considered nemesis.
And yet William succeeded in pulling such an impossible feat! They watched him execute that technique successfully many times already.
The devastation that William added to the garden didn't stir the headmaster again. In return for feeling enraged about this, he felt curious about how William managed to do such a feat.
Opposite to him, Kong didn't feel that way. The latter still kept blabbering about the relation between William and the dark spirit masters, linking all the dots in a totally wrong way.
"You heard what he said at the end," the headmaster knew how difficult it was to change the mindset of his friend if he believed in something, "he did all this just to secure his life against dark spirit masters and traitors in the academy."
"Words are deceiving," yet as the headmaster predicted, his friend wasn't convinced by what he said in William's favour, "but facts can't be wrong! He is a very sneaky little bastard! And he has three rare elements together! It's something I never heard about before."
"He might have a spirit variation," the headmaster didn't stop trying to convince his friend.
And Kong firmly shook his head.
"A variation that ended up not only having one rare spirit element but three? No way! This kid has a big secret behind him, and I intend to not let him off the hook this easily."
By these words, the headmaster knew how futile it was to try and convince Kong anymore. So he sighed, and watched the small body of William fall on the soft bed mattress and fell into deep sleep.
"What do you plan to do with him then?"
"I'm going to squeeze the truth out of him," Kong said in such a threatening and domineering way, "I'll find out the truth, no matter what!"
"Tsk! Just don't end up killing him or turning him from our side to the totally opposite one," the headmaster said in a similarly serious way, "I believe in his innocence. And if so, it means we ended up finding a hidden gem!"
"I can't promise anything before meeting with him," and by such an answer, Kong's body faded fast from the eyes of the headmaster, "make him come to me once he woke up. Don't try anything funny, or else I'll get myself into your academy and capture him myself."
"Tsk!" the headmaster could only shake his head in a helpless way. He knew he couldn't stop his friend if the latter got serious about doing something.
"I hope he won't die at your hands," he muttered as the last speck of Kong's image vanished from his place.
As the two masters ended up in such disagreement, someone else stood hundreds of metres away from William's mansion.
"Why did I feel such unrest when that kid was there?" A tall young girl, one who wasn't that much older than Berry or William, but was a little taller than the two, stood in the middle of a few trees, gazing up at the direction of the destroyed garden.
