novelxo Chapter 234 The Academy Is On Fire!
"So, this is the basic and lowest in rank token of this mysterious force standing behind this kind of missions," William stored it away, took a deep breath, feeling like he was stepping on the path he desired for long for the first time since coming back in life.
This path extended too far and was quite dangerous, and the end was still ushered under a heavy darkness veil, where a scary fox lied within.
"Small rocks falling down the mountain can end up creating a terrifying avalanche in the end," he muttered to himself, before turning towards the direction of the market.
"It's time," William knew his little wealth wasn't enough to buy lots of things. However, he planned on doing something crazy out there.
As he walked past the gathered spirit masters, heading away from this place, he missed the storm that started to slowly take shape thanks to him.
The news of him recruiting spirit masters spread out like wildfire in the middle of dried-up sea of leaves.
The news about the rich and crazy rewards for joining his team made even the gold grade disciples in the academy think seriously about joining him.
The news didn't hide anything, and everyone knew the dude who issued such a crazy recruitment move was a bronze spirit master.
The background of William got dug pretty much fast, and everyone knew that the porter who created a little mess before in the academy was on the move again.
Many thoughts about the issue of how to lower themselves, work for someone as weak and young as him. That issue was something that William didn't put into his consideration, and even if he did, he had no way to solve such a problem.
Image, after all, was something that many spirit masters took quite seriously. Not to mention that many spirit masters were arrogant.
Even if the payback was quite rich, many didn't like the idea of getting bossed around by a weak, young, and nameless kid like William.
Like William and the other four thought, William got zero reputation in the academy.
Even if he pulled a miracle before in jumping over ranks, even if rumours linked him to the miracle that happened back at the Long clan, this wasn't enough in the eyes of many spirit masters.
Yet other than those arrogant and realistic bunch of spirit masters, many spirit masters started to seriously consider joining his team.
The news spread and spoke about a gathering in one day at the gates of the academy. William selected this place as he'd start moving from there directly towards the Scorching Lands.
The academy started to boil under such shocking news, while no one knew what type of mission William needed such a team to do.
In a few hours, news about spotting a similar kid at the Mercenary department spread, creating more havoc among everyone.
"Scorching Lands? Are you sure?!"
"Is he aiming to play at a high and quite dangerous stage from the start?"
"That explains the rich rewards he promised!"
"I don't believe any of this sh*t! How come a bronze spirit master with no clan or family behind his back, one who lived as a porter, serving others for two years, has such wealth?"
"I won't f*cking work for a porter! Not even if my life was on the line!"
The responses to what William issued were going out of control, creating waves among a huge number of spirit masters.
News even reached the ears of the big shots in the academy, and at night, all the big clans and families got to hear about what William wanted to do.
Those who were in such high seats knew much more than others. They knew what William did back at the Long clan, even knew about what he did towards the disciples from the Golden Sky academy.
And when things were going crazy already, another piece of news spread out, adding more fuel to such wildfire.
"Are you sure? Did he ask to take the mission regarding hunting dark spirit masters down?!"
"Insane! This kid is crazy!"
"Humph! If taking down dark spirit masters was this easy, then they wouldn't have been the dark spirit masters!"
"A bronze spirit master aiming to clash against the dark spirit masters? Has he lost his mind or what?!"
Many expressed their disbelief, while many of those who considered joining him had a change of heart.
Dealing with dark spirit masters might be the most desired goal for many, but it was also a taboo. None of those teams who went out to take them down returned without suffering heavy losses or didn't return at all!
Even if few succeeded to kill dark spirit masters, it was indeed a matter of luck.
Going far away from the academy, reaching to a place that none had any backing or anyone they knew, and try to fight the dark spirit masters there was something hilarious and even suicidal!
Yet even with such news spreading, many considered joining William's team. Even a few of those who refused to join a team led by bronze spirit master, a kid, and ex-porter, had a change of heart and decided to give it a shot.
Those who changed their minds were either dead curious about why William was doing this or suffered losses at the hands of the dark spirit masters before and sought revenge.
Slowly things started to shift, and part of those who got tempted by the rich and insane rewards got cold feet, and part of those who objected to joining before decided on showing off tomorrow and checking things out.
On the other hand, another unforeseen result appeared, one that went beyond William's wildest imagination.
"What? That kid is forming a team? Promising rich rewards to go and hunt dark spirit masters down?"
"Hurry, deliver the news, warn our people at the Scorching Lands of this move."
"Humph! I'd love to see what such a pathetic kid and team will do against the mighty people on our side!"
