From a general look, he could see a large number of dots gathering up together, taking the form of something that looked like a two headed brown tiger.
It was the first time for him to see the legendary Great Mont spirit of the headmaster's family. And he was surprised to see two small wings attached to the back of this lion.
It wasn't just an earth element spirit, but a rare flying one as well.
William didn't stop there and started to see deeper through these dots.
He knew she had enough spirit power to get over the two thousand mark easily. She was also in the spirit expansion phase, the third stage of spirit evolution.
That alone would make her a prodigy in this world, a talent that wasn't found quite easily here. But that wasn't what he was looking for.
He wanted to see deeper, much deeper than the spirit dots at the surface. And when he did, he found the thing he was looking for.
"As I expected…" When he saw these dark threads forming some sort of a net deep down at the centre of all the shimmering brown dots, he couldn't contain his shock and muttered in low tone.
"What did you find? What's wrong with me?"
"Why does everyone jump to a bad conclusion when I say such words?" William felt weird about this as he thought to himself.
"It's something great for you," William didn't lie to her, "Tell me, are you aware of the concept of spirit elements?"
"Sure," Sara gave William a weird look, "it's common knowledge for anyone."
"Then are you aware of the dormant spirit elements?" William expected she'd know about the spirit element term. Yet he didn't ask her that just to waste time or make fun of her.
"What does that mean?" she blinked twice, and he couldn't help but show a satisfying smile on his face.
Seeing this smile made Sara a little irritated. "Tell me, what does that mean?" and in return for his smile, she had to show her demeanour as the granddaughter of the academy headmaster.
She didn't go out a lot or even interacted with many disciples from the academy. So she expected him to not know her real status. And with such a smile, she considered properly introducing herself.
She didn't do that before as she didn't think their paths would walk further together after this meeting. And she wasn't as arrogant as her big brother.
Yet the attitude William gave her made her feel like this kid was looking down on her, using a sort of showy and useless method to tell her things she never heard about before.
But before she'd start talking about herself, which was something she didn't like, William was half a beat faster than her as he said in calm tone:
"The spirits we got have elements. I'm sure you are aware of this. But not all the elements we got since our birth will be activated. On a few rare occasions, we may end up having dormant elements, waiting for the right trigger to get stirred up…"
And his sudden calm words that made quite sense cut all her negative thoughts about him and made her mumble in low tone: "Just like what happened to me last night?"
And William nodded in response to her words.
"But… Do you know what element I have dormant inside me? Do you know how to activate it?"
If he said such words, that meant he already knew the element dormant in her spirit. And above everything else, if he didn't know how to activate it, then this talk was all for nothing.
"Do you see these little black dots in the middle of all the brown ones?" William didn't hurriedly answer any of her questions. Instead, he got closer to the crystal and pointed towards its content.
She followed his finger and narrowed her eyes, trying to focus on what he was talking about.
When she didn't see anything clearly, she lowered her head to get a better look.
She saw the crystal content and checked them before. To her, she just saw a very beautiful collection of shining brown dots, moving slowly inside the crystal in her hand.
But when she looked closer, at the centre of all these shimmering pretty brown dots, she saw a few black ones that were hard to notice before.
"What are these?" she raised her eyes to him, asking in doubt and confusion.
"They represent the element dormant in your spirit," William slowly explained, "you got an earth element in your spirit. And that's why your dots are shining in brown light. If you get the dormant element activated properly, then these brown dots will become darker, with a tinge of blackness in them."
"Black? Black spirit element? Isn't that…" a wild thought flashed into her mind, one that even she didn't dare to voice out loud or even believe.
"It's correct," William slowly nodded, "the darkness element is dormant in your spirit, waiting to get activated."
"But… How come?!! Wait… Does that mean…" she trembled, even took a step to the back while loosening her grip around the crystal.
William expected such a reaction and moved swiftly to grab the falling crystal and prevent it from smashing to pieces.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
*Crash!*
But just before William would manage to reach the crystal, a thunderous loud voice erupted all of sudden in his ears, forcing him to stumble back a few steps and even cough up blood.
The next instant a silhouette appeared in the room, one that was quite familiar to William.
"Headmaster!"
"Grandpa!"
The two kids shouted at the same moment in bewilderment. Just moments ago, the headmaster finished the urgent matter he was taking care of and spied on William out of habit.
Yet when he saw William's room, the one he slept in last night, he froze in his place out of the shocking and unbelievable scene he saw!
