Chapter 311: Chapter 311 - White Lighting
"Heaven's Judgement."
"What is that?"
"The bolt of lightning that struck… The Spear's power… the thing that got you where you are right now… ring any bell." William said as he tried to jog Adam's memory.
Adam was very confused by what William was saying until he slowly understood that he was talking about the lighting strike skill of the spear that completely made him unconscious… even turned off his subconscious guard that he had.
And it took a lot of skill and time to make such defenses, just by thinking up to this point Adam looked at the ground in shock as he never felt so weak and terrified since… a very long time.
"Ho- How long was I out?"
"Hmm… let's see," William looked at the holographic clock that suddenly came out of nowhere and said, "it's 11:37 AM."
Adam heard it and calculated, They start their training at 4'o Clock every morning and finish somewhere around 8 so…
He spoke loudly to William with his eyes that threatened to pop out, "I've been unconscious for 4 HOURS!"
William put his hands in his ear to stop his loud voice from destroying his eardrums as most around them did the same too and looked at them while wondering what happened.
"Almost. You've been unconscious for 3 hours and 37 minutes so… not that far away from 4 hours."
"Still, 3 and a half hours is a long time." Adam said as he looked around him in shock, not being able to register that he had let his guard down for that long. Anything could have happened… ANYTHING and he wouldn't even have known about it.
"3 Hour and 37 minutes," William corrected him, "And don't worry about it… just think that you had a very good sleep that's all." He said as casually as possible.
Adam turned to him with seriousness and said, "Do you even realize how bad it really is for me? I've been asleep for almost 3 and a half hours and in that moment anything could have happened to me and I wouldn't even have known about it."
William still had his casual aura around him but his eyes were radiating how serious they were, "And you seem to forget that you are not living as a hired assassin anymore, who would always have to sleep with a gun under his pillow wondering when the next attack will come from.
You are now working for me… and unless you do something that could be resembled to betraying me, you are going to be just fine."
"Unlike Jeff who works in finance… the guy is too lazy for me to keep on the payroll, thinking of a way to cut him loose right after a week away from his birthday." William said close to his ear as it seemed like it was a secret that none other than him knew.
"Bu… But" Adam tried to find some reason to counter but William stopped him.

"But what?"
"What are you waiting for huh? It's not a battlefield anymore Adam." William said seriously before he sighed and told him in a calm voice, "as I said before you are going to be just fine… no need to worry about dying anymore okay?"
Adam nodded before he laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yeah but that's only for now… You are going to need me one day to make sure to finish off some mistakes that you need to be erased."
William went quiet for a while before he stood up and said, "I am not going to lie about that.
Yes, You are right about me needing your specific skills in that category and we both know that not you nor I can escape from this part of our life no matter how much we try to run from it… so at least we can try to live out life to the best we can." He said and started to walk off the room as Adam looked down and couldn't help but agree to his words.
But before William could exit the room, he stood at the end and said while holding the door from closing, "And if you can't do even that then might as well start looking at Delmar… he looks like he has it all figured out in his shiny head."
Hearing the word 'Shiny' Clawdia who was resting inside William's jacket in her small form, got up immediately, looked around for Delmar while mentally saying 'Baldy'.
William smiled looking at her antics and then suddenly said to Adam, "Think fast"
Adam didn't need to even look as his instincts automatically caught the thing that William threw and he looked to see that it was his broken sword of Heaven. "I…" He looked towards the door but didn't see William nor Clawdia anymore as he looked at the sword in his hand again.
He looked at the sword for a moment before he smiled and then started laughing as the other doctors and patients in the recovery room looked at him and wondered whether he had lost his sanity being zapped by a spear.
.....
William went back to the training room again and was training with the spear alone. He didn't call for Adam nor any other person as he wanted to do some solo training to smooth out a few problems that he was facing with his spar with Adam earlier.
As he kept on slashing at the empty air in front of him, sounds of air being cut could be heard with each of his strike as he did many moves with the spear as fast as he could. Then he stopped after a while as he started panting and looked at the spear with great admiration.
He liked its shiny black metallic surface that made it look super cool and he also like the yellow lighting streaks that seemed to make a mark at the spear and made it look quite different from Adam's sword.
He kept on admiring the sword for a while before he suddenly said, "Test Number #46"
Just as he said that three test dummies immediately appeared and stood before him. The test dummies were white in color besides their chest and eyes that had a water blue color to them. The dummies didn't attack but instead stood there like a wall that stopped anything from going through.
William didn't wait either as he slashed his spear at them with a X slash as it cut the first two in more than 4 places as they fell and he did a heavy lunge at the final one which completely destroyed its stomach.
Immediately a few other dummies came up as they stood 50 meters away from him. William didn't chase after them as he lifted his spear while saying, "ENLARGE"
The spear in his hands immediately enlarged itself and he swung down struck the dummies while the spear remained as straight as it was. The dummies instead were crushed to pieces.
A few others remained as the spear retracted with another word of William as he then pointed his spear at them and white lightning started generating on his spear before he thrust at them as the lighting broke away from the spear and landed on the dummies as several large bangs could be heard and smoke appeared.
He waited for a while before smiling as he saw the smoke clear up and the dummies being completely crushed by his spear's lightning.
