After all, the small incident he did went missing in the middle of all these upcoming disasters. No matter how hard anyone tried, if he wasn't standing inside the Grand Arena on that day, watching what William did, he wasn't going to learn anything about the truth.
However, few eyes got attracted to William in the end, especially from the Black Mamba clan. After all, that elder who lost his son didn't stop his search for what truly happened out there.
As for others, they started to change their entire plans for the time being, even reaching to the extent of putting on hold everything related to the grand spirit master competition.
William was oblivious to all this. After the shift of the battle towards the forest, all the noises coming from the academy vanished for a few hours.
Then he heard many shouts asking for helping hands to repair the damage and save the wounded.
"I'm tired," he listened to such shouts, which also meant the battle was already over. He turned and went to his bed and got a long and nice sleep till the next day.
The next morning came, and William checked over the two girls first. They were still in their trance state, not giving any sign of waking up anytime soon.
He then went to have his breakfast, thought about everything that happened yesterday.
He might have gone to the Spar arena for one reason, ending up getting involved in the big day competition and exposing the dark spirit masters inside the arena.
He got himself in a big mess, and he started to consider everything calmly.
"At least those who saw me directly fight and cause such incident are the red falcon team, the members of Garlend's team, the judge, and Ro…"
William sat on his desk in the study room, writing down these names. He knew much of the audience saw him act, but they were too far to see things quite clearly.
They might have missed his face or something. Even if someone saw his strikes and brilliant performance, they'd not get the same impression as the ones who were standing on or next to the stage.
"It's safe to assume that Garlend and his team are dead," he muttered to himself, while moving the brush in his hand and covered Garlend and his team names with many black lines.
"The judge isn't a problem…" William knew the headmaster would intercept to keep such news hidden. He knew what he did would be delivered by the letter to the headmaster and others, speaking of his brilliant performance back there.
Yet such a thing wasn't going to end up quite bad for him. Actually, this might make them place more importance in supporting him.
William didn't know that the judge he thought he'd tell stories and legends about what he did to the headmaster was already dead! And the sole person who saw the miracle he did from such close distance was none other than Ro!
"Ro… This girl… She is the real problem…" William stopped too long in front of Ro's name, thinking about everything he knew about her.
He recalled how he first met her, how she came to watch him battle, ending up saving his life at the delicate moment when Garlend aimed at him when he got zero spirit power left.
"She isn't that bad," he still recalled how she went to fight the dark spirit masters who came to the stage early on after fighting Garlend. She was eager to fight the dark spirit masters, even cursing them.
"But… I still don't know a single thing about her," this was the big issue about Ro.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom William knew this wasn't her real name, and she used a rare spirit element as well. Which meant she came from a strong background.
"The headmaster will know more about her team," after thinking for long, William decided to hang everything on his upcoming meeting with the headmaster.
William never feared facing any questions or doubts, he just was worried to face strong enemies that he couldn't take down with his current low power.
"I need strength… More strength…" he started tapping on the desk, while thinking again about this issue.
From this battle it was clearly obvious what he lacked and mostly needed. It wasn't just his single power that mattered but having a strong and trustworthy team by his side mattered as well.
In such big and high end battles, a single formidable spirit master wasn't going to do miracles alone.
"I have to train them diligently," William started to think about slightly accelerating his plans.
The perfect setting to train anyone was by going out and fighting in the forest. He thought about replacing that with the arena battles, but right now it proved to be impossible as the arena and many of the places around it got severely damaged.
"I'll just ask them to go and bring their trusted and capable friends here," he also got the problem of testing and training these four and their friends unsolved.
He went to the arena in the first place to reserve a spot there to train without bringing much attention. And that wasn't going to work right now.
William looked outside. He already placed a concealment array all over the place, and so it was hard for anyone to get inside or prey on what was happening in there.
"William, we are waiting outside! Are you in?" Just as he was in the middle of his thoughts, a loud shout came from outside.
"Coming," he knew it was Lang's voice. When he went out there, he saw Lang and Peter standing together without Berry.
"Come in," he removed the ores he buried underground, just in one spot, leaving behind the rest in place.
"What's that?" Peter seemed a bit curious about what William did here.
"It's just a little trick," William placed the ores he took on the table inside the house, "last night was quite crazy y'know."
