From the words of the headmaster, William was sure this grandson was poisoned by that toxin indeed. It was just like what the headmaster here suspected and guessed on his own accord.
And this solved a big mystery for William. The latter knew a lot about this toxin. He was puzzled that such poison came from the outer world and was delivered to the traitors inside the academy to deal with his two girls in such short notice.
The poison was already here from the start, and that explained everything for him.
As for dealing with this toxin in that grandson's body, William knew how quite challenging this would be. The process to eliminate such nasty toxin was something William couldn't do with the little spirit power he got. Not to mention it required lots of materials, few weren't available in this world.
He needed at least to become a gold grade spirit master before doing that. But he couldn't refuse such a sincere request, especially from the old man who just supported him minutes ago.
Even if William couldn't cure him, he could at least stop the progress and spread of that toxin in the grandson's body.
"Did you send for me, headmaster?"
Just as William and the two girls sat there for a couple more minutes, a tall young spirit master entered. From the first look, William could point out many similarities between him and the headmaster.
But that wasn't the reason behind William's expression of surprise when he saw this dude. He recalled him, recalled his face from the past.
'How can this be…?!!!' William was inwardly shocked when he saw that dude. William didn't have any status before in his past life in the academy to know such a high figure in person, or even serve him. But he saw that face before.
He was leading a group of cloaked dark spirit masters to hit and chase down any survivors from the academy back when the disaster struck the world. William would never forget his face, especially when he was this close from losing his life in his hands if not for the timely intervention of luck and a group of strong spirit masters from the academy.
It was true that destined enemies would meet around each corner! William controlled his emotions, turned to look at the headmaster while inwardly sighing.
'What's going on here?' William knew that the headmaster asked him to check on the status of his grandson. But if his grandson was already on the side of the dark spirit masters, how come he would be poisoned?
Something felt amiss here. But at any cost, William decided to not cure him even if he had the ability to do so!
"Come here my son and drop such an attitude. These are friends."
"Friends? A porter and a traitor working for the dark side? And two spies from that Golden Sky academy? Humph! What a bunch of friends you have here, grandfather!" but just as he arrived twenty metres away from the headmaster, that grandson stopped and spoke in such a rude and arrogant way.
From the look on his face, the impression William got wasn't friendly at all. And that also confirmed his earlier guesses about where this young spirit master's loyalty lied.
"Don't say that! These are all false accusations!" The headmaster seemed irritated when his grandson repeated the same nonsense other elders said and was proven wrong.
"Being true or false is all accountable to time to prove," that young spirit master harrumphed, "they weren't proved wrong this time. But I swear I won't rest before exposing their true colours to you and to everyone else."
"You… Stop right there!" Just as that rude grandson said these words and pointed at William and the two girls while speaking, he turned around and left. Even when the headmaster tried to stop him with such a domineering shout, he never even paused his steps.
"This damn filial kid! I don't know what went wrong for him to end up being like this!" and just as that youth left as fast as he appeared, the headmaster couldn't help but weakly fall on his throne-like seat, with a look of exhaustion on his face that made him look older again.
And this time, such an old look lasted for more than a minute.
Hearing what the old headmaster said made William realise such an attitude wasn't an exception. That youth seemed to go overboard on many occasions before. That branded him with the picture of a spoiled brat, born with a golden spoon that he aimed to destroy since his young age.
William didn't know what he should do or say here. From one angle, this headmaster was just like any loving grandfather, caring for his only grandson's wellbeing.
Yet on another side, this grandson was a traitor! And he just declared his enmity with William even in the presence of the headmaster. How could William show sympathy towards such a deadly enemy?
"It seems the loss of his father greatly affected him negatively," yet William couldn't bring himself to publicly criticise that traitor and kept all this to himself.
"That's… True indeed…" the headmaster sighed, taking what William said as the sole excuse behind such rude and weird actions of his grandson.
The look of exhaustion over his face vanished, and instead a caring look replaced it. "Don't mind what he just said. In the academy, you are getting more supporters than rain dropping from the sky."
"Thanks for the headmaster's care and concern," William knew this old man favoured him. But that didn't mean he would spare that treacherous grandson just for his sake.
Even if William didn't truly get what the headmaster meant by getting support, the former didn't ask. The headmaster realised that William didn't get his point, so he added:
"You do know you caused a little ruckus during the last few days?" As things related to curing his grandson ended in such a way, the old man decided to overlook this point and close this page down for now.
