Peter knew that wasn't going to happen. And so, he felt how tight the spot William threw them at without even taking their opinion on this matter.
"What are you talking about?" William frowned, didn't get what was going on inside Peter's mind, "these are common techniques I accidentally learnt. You all should be aware of these techniques, right?"
"Well…" Berry was still seeing the sa old William who pulled a miracle back at her clan before in front of her eyes right now, "we know the first three you ntioned, but not the other three you taught us just now."
"Aren't these your family's techniques?" Lang also felt the sa as Peter, and so he felt doubtful about William's reaction.
"They are my version of these three common techniques," William started to feel sothing was amiss here, and these kids got sothing wrong from what he said, "I just happened to learn a better version from my master. And so, I wanted to teach them to you."
"But…"
"My master gave permission to teach these techniques to anyone I want," William interrupted Peter's words, realising what they got wrong in their heads, "just morise them and go back and try them out. In two days, I'll run a test and see if you can truly perform them or not."
"This…" Peter was still feeling confused about William's actions and words. However, his friend, Lang, interfered, grabbed his friend by the arm as he said:
"Thanks brother William. We will go back and train on them. Next ti we et, we'll show you sothing interesting."
"Good luck," William watched Lang dragging the stupefied Peter from all this, and Berry who gave him conflicted looks, before sighing as they left his place.
"They won't get how truly strong these new versions are until they'll try them out first," William muttered to himself, before he noticed two silhouettes, one long and the other was much shorter, coming through the door after a few minutes.
"Where did big sister Berry go?" Tina jumped in and looked around, feeling a bit confused. At the sa ti, Lina stepped in, with a smile on her face that soon vanished.
"They left this soon?" but when she found the place void except for William, she frowned, "I went to bring food for all of us. Did we take this long?
"They got sothing to do for ," William realised what happened. It seed when Berry brought Peter and Lang here, Lina knew there wasn't enough food for all of them.
So, she took her little sister, went to the market, and brought food for all of them.
"Oh…"
"Co on, let's eat together," William didn't speak any further about this, "after that, I'll go out and may stay all night outside."
"Going to the forest?" Tina jumped again, forgetting about her sadness from not seeing Berry when she ca back, "can I co? Can you take with you?"
William silently watched her for a few monts, then moved his eyes between her and Lina. "I'm going to do sothing in the academy, sothing quite boring," he paused, while in his mind, he thought about the decision he once took to help these two sisters.
"This…" Tina showed a sad expression on her face.
"Don't worry, when I co back, I'll teach you sothing funny," William patted on her head, while Lina gave him a weird look from behind her mask.
"Let's eat for now," he didn't explain what he ant, and kept his plans for them to himself.
Tina was lively like always. She kept speaking about many and unrelated things, things she experienced in the academy, things that happened in the house, and even things from her past life in the Golden Sky academy.
Lina kept her silence like William, as she kept thinking about what William promised just now.
If anyone else said such words, then she'd not take them seriously at all. Yet it was William, the kid who turned her and her sister's lives upside down.
She knew he never joked about anything. And that made her think about what he might do to the two of them.
After eating, William decided to leave imdiately. "I don't know how long I'm going to stay there, so better to move there early," he muttered to himself, hoping to find the old man again where he left him.
Things at dayti weren't that much different than at nightti. He t less people the more he got closer to the library, even to the extent of not eting anyone at all for ten minutes when he was just near the library.
"What's going on here?" Just when he got closer, he noticed sothing different out there. The library that he imagined to be abandoned and empty was filled with many spirit masters coming in.
"Old man, what is happening today?" William could feel sothing was wrong in this place. Yet with all such ss, William found the old elder sitting at the sa spot, guarding the entrance to the library, just like he t him last night.
"Oh, it's William kiddo," the elder recognised William, "I never thought you'd co this soon."
When the elder saw William, his frowned face eased up, and ended to show a smile on his face.
He looked a bit tired in William's eyes, like soone who got stuck in sothing he never liked.
"I wanted to follow your advice," William already found the perfect excuse for what he ca here for, "I want to check on many fighting techniques."
"That's my boy, you shouldn't waste your life learning such useless stuff."
William swallowed what he wanted to say to retort such wrong words. First, he knew it was a lost case to try and convince this old man, and second, he ca here to really learn these techniques.
"Co, co, I don't know what went wrong in that old man's head today," as the elder got overjoyed with William's decision, he jumped off his seat, and started to lead William inside.
