"It's over since the night befell the world," Sara seed to get used to such reaction everywhere she went, and she didn't seem to bother with any of the doubtful eyes of Lang and Peter.
"Then…" William looked at the two standing next to him, motioning to them in silence to sit down.
And the two followed his words, keeping the tons of questions and doubt buried deep inside their hearts.
"My grandfather got many leads on the whereabouts of the dark spirit masters who caused chaos yesterday," Sara sat, just next to William's seat, "and so everyone is out there, looking and trying to hunt more of them."
"Leads? Interesting," William never guessed such a small incident would bring fruit to anything this big.
"I heard many of the teams who regularly fought in the arena for years were undercover dark spirit masters," Sara kept telling shocking news to them, before realising she said too much, "of course… This news is going to stay between the four of us, right?"
She looked at William, and William looked at the other two.
"S… Sure…"
"We won't say a word!"
"Great," William placed both hands on the table, crossed his fingers together, and gave the three around him a deep look. "Where is Berry?"
"Who's Berry?"
"I passed over her place but found nothing there."
"I heard my clan sent soone to pick her up. She must be sowhere safe."
William listened to three different responses, telling him that no one knew where Berry was.
"Then let's start without her," William couldn't wait for her to arrive. He didn't know if she was even in the academy or was brought back to the clan by Lude.
"Start… What exactly?" Sara was the most curious person here about what William wanted to do.
Last ti she t him, he gave her three techniques to train on. She knew these three, but when she tried to perform them, she discovered to her shock that they were totally different from the ones she knew about.
Yet she didn't fail in learning them, the sa case with the other two here.
"I gave you three different techniques to learn, did you learn them?" William didn't directly answer her question. Instead, he asked about the three techniques he gave them.
The three looked at each other, as they were slightly surprised that they got the sa techniques. Sara thought William did that on a whim, the sa thought the other two here had.
But realising that he also gave the techniques to others to learn gave them the weird impression as if they were sitting in front of a master, and they were his chosen disciples.
"What? Don't tell they were quite difficult for you," William got what went through their minds, and yet he didn't comnt on such thoughts and just said while rolling his eyes.
"I learned them!" Sara was the first to throw all these thoughts off her mind and blurted out as she added, "they are unique, but not that hard."
"They are like the three techniques we learnt in the academy, but sothing seed different," Lang chid in, while in his mind he kept wondering how and why Sara got to know William.
It seed the relationship between these two wasn't just shallow.
"I compared these three with the three I learned from the academy," Peter added, oblivious to the thoughts his friend had in his mind, "and these three are much stronger and quite special."
"So… You learned them, right?" William didn't care about their opinions. After all, he knew the three techniques they and everyone learned here were faulty, quite weak and pretty much useless.
"I believe we all did," Sara looked around, used to act as the leader of any group she was in. and the other two just nodded.
"I'm sorry… I got late!"
And before William would add anymore, a new one appeared as he hurriedly ran inside the house.
"I was helping the academy in this disaster… Did I miss anything?"
"You are?"
"Isn't he…"
"John, what are you doing here?!"
Sara didn't recognise John, but the other two did. He was in the class for two years at least before they joined the bronze class.
"He is part of our team," William simply said, exposing part of his true intentions in what he said, "you didn't miss anything," William ignored the weird looks he got from these three while motioning to John to sit.
And like this, the early gathering of his team got ford, with the exception of Berry.
William looked at their faces, he had high hopes for this bunch of kids. In fact, he never placed much importance on John's help to recruit more mbers to the team.
After all, the other four of the team, including Berry, were big shots in the academy. They would be the main cores of the team. As for John, it was his luck to et William first before any of the common and normal disciples did.
William knew it wasn't just thanks to luck, but also to his bravery. If he didn't take the initiative back then, actively seeking William to learn from him, he wouldn't have been invited to sit with others here on the sa table.
"Did you learn the techniques I gave you?" and before any of the three would digest the surprise of John's presence, and when the latter felt awkward thanks to the eyes falling on him, William added another surprise that left everyone baffled.
"Uhn," John slowly nodded, feeling more nervous in the presence of all these big shots.
He recognised Sara. and who wouldn't? She was, after all, the daughter of the academy headmaster, the brother of the troubleso and infamous Rick.
"That's good news," William ignored what others felt, before adding, "as all of you learnt the techniques, we can proceed with the next move."
"What move?!" it wasn't just Sara this ti, but the other two dudes as well who asked in the sa breath.
