Sara knew he got a good point indeed. The scrolls and knowledge left inside the library came from the ancient spirit masters.
Even if they were brilliant, they weren't enough to solve this mystery for her. She finally realised why, even after the passage of all these years, after reading tons of scrolls inside her grandpa's private library, she couldn't get a single clue about the content and mysteries of the scroll.
She always thought that something was binding her and blinding her from seeing the truth of this scroll.
It never crossed her mind that what she thought was her only hope to decipher the language of this scroll and read its content was the same thing that kept her away from doing that!
William remained silent at first because he thought he said enough. But soon enough, his silence came from his deep shock.
When he unfolded the scroll, he could finally see the content of that scroll. And to his surprise, he couldn't read a single thing inside!
Just like what Sara said, the entire scroll was filled with an alien language that he didn't recognise. It was the first time he'd met something like this since reaching the pinnacle of power and learning most of the knowledge of the outer world.
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ Seeing such a scroll written in such alien language even to him made him realise how far important this scroll was. The only thing that he could understand was the title of the scroll, where the Spirit Dormant Element words were there.
Aside from this single sentence, nothing else made any sense to him. He tried to keep pouring his spirit power into the scroll, trying to see if there was something missing due to the damage that happened to the scroll.
But after another ten minutes, he finally gave up.
"Did you discover anything?" Sara got her hopes high when she heard what William said and saw what he did.
William got knowledge that went beyond her abilities and knowledge, and she recalled the fact that he was the first person she ever met to speak about the dormant spirit elements.
But when William shook his head, her face changed and got darkened.
"Don't lose hope yet," William slowly told her, "I know of a way to awaken your dormant element. And perhaps once you'll do that, the secrets inside this scroll will get themselves revealed to you."
"Are you saying that this scroll is immune to anyone without getting a dormant spirit element activated?" she got what he wanted to say here, and her depression and disappointment instantly vanished.
His words made quite sense, and she couldn't help but question why she never thought about this before. And soon she realised why.
She never knew that she got a dormant spirit element until she met this kid standing in front of her.
Sara slowly stood up her bed, looked at William in hope as she asked:
"Are you sure you can awaken my dormant spirit element? You said it's the darkness element, right?"
"It indeed is the darkness element," William said, "and it happens I know of a way to do it. However…"
"Whatever you ask for, you'll get many folds of it!" she mistook his momentarily pause, and he couldn't help but inwardly sigh.
"I didn't need any of what you thought about," William paused for a second before adding, "I want you!"
If not for his damn serious tone, then she'd believe that he got lewd thoughts about her. However, seeing how damn serious he was, she couldn't help but get over her shock and doubts, and ask: "What do you need me to do?"
"To follow me," William paused, "from this moment onward, you'll be part of a small team that I've established. You'll follow me wherever I go out of the academy. And inside, you'll do things I tell you to do."
"This…"
It was just like selling her soul and devoting her life to him. But William didn't plan on accepting anything else but this.
William was already on the top hit list of the dark spirit master traitors in the academy. And this bunch of traitors were led by none other than Rick, Sara's brother.
The old man leading this academy was doing a grave mistake in William's eyes. He was focusing too much on Rick, forgetting all about Sara.
William could give many reasons for such an attitude from the headmaster. And yet he also knew that Rick was going to bring this place down the hill of hell without batting an eye.
Rick was his grand foe inside the academy, the only one he couldn't touch for a long time. But with Sara, things would entirely change.
It would be like using someone else's hands to do one's desired things. William knew that no matter what the old headmaster of the academy decided, in front of a plain difference in strength, things wouldn't matter that much.
Rick was stagnant for many years already. But William knew this was all bullshit. If Rick was working with the dark spirit masters, then his proclaimed disease would be long cured.
And that meant he was feigning stagnation of his spirit power, faking everything!
Learning how to control one's spirit power to not show its true value wasn't something that hard to learn.
Rick was stronger than what he showed, and William had to push Sara on the same stage of power like that jerk so he'd attract the attention of the old man.
Unlocking her dormant spirit element was enough to push her spirit power by a big margin. And to do so, William knew the best and simplest way to do so.
He'd let Sara absorb a monster core that had a darkness element, merge with it, and like that she'd slowly start activating her darkness element.
Just by using the darkness element, her dormant spirit element got all stirred up. And that told William a lot.
Her spirit element wasn't that passive and sleepy. It was close from getting activated, just waiting for the right trigger.
