novelxo Chapter 959 Entering The Bronze Grade
"I want to tell you something," William looked at the old man for a long minute, while the latter misunderstood what he wanted to say, "in that little trip, we are going to have a great opportunity. The ones who are coming with us will have a great shot to shoot to the pinnacle stage in the world, or even go beyond it!"
"This…" Sloth got what William wanted to say, and was surprised by what he said, "do you want to limit the number of masters going there? Didn't you say it was dangerous?"
"It is," William nodded, "but it's dangerous for you, not to me. As long as I'm with you, nothing will happen."
"Arrogant youngster," Sloth scoffed, and yet he knew William wasn't the type to brag about something he couldn't do, "then… How many can we have with us?" William was lost in thoughts when he heard what Sloth said.
"Anyone coming has to be either below twenty-five years old or learnt the techniques I taught you."
"This…" Sloth paused, "how long do we have then?"
"What? Do you want to train tons of people or what?" William was speechless, before he added the condition that Sloth was looking for from the start, "we can't have any master beyond ten thousand, ok?"
"Ten thousand from my side? Got it!"
"No! no! Ten thousand as a whole," William stressed over this, "I'll bring half, and you bring half, how does it sound?"
"Not good," Sloth shook his head, and before William would issue any objection he added, "the city leaders are setting their eyes over that place as well. So it's better for us to give some slots, right?"
"Hmm… Let them have then one thousand quota," William paused, "and this is going to be cut from yours, got it?"
"Then we won't give them anything," Sloth laughed, and William couldn't help but shake off his head thanks to the old man's shamelessness.
"So we do have one more week, right?"
"At most," William paused, "I will undergo a big training session for the ones I'm selecting. You should also do the same to those you'll select."
"I can't just select all old men, right?"
"I don't advise that," William shook his head, "it's better if you focused more on the younger generation."
"I get it," Sloth nodded, "let's meet in one week then. It's great this city has a portal leading to the capital…"
"Since when was there such a portal?" William was surprised by this, and Sloth laughed, telling William he was the one who stood behind such a thing.
As Sloth went out, William knew it was time to go and start the training schedule for his people. "Gather up, I see you are now having lots of followers, interesting," William paused, took a longer look over his friends and the large number of masters standing around each and every one of them.
"We established factions," Sara was the one to speak up, while Anjie moved herself without the need of saying a single word, and went towards William. The latter surrounded her waist with his arm, making other girls regret not having such a treatment from him.
"Factions are great," William stressed over this point, "as long as you won't do anything bad between each other, got it?"
"Got it, boss!" they all shouted in the same breath, before William started to spread the great news:
"In the next week, I'm going to train five thousand selected members of the guild. The two tails team members are all invited, and you will select the rest according to their talents and such…"
He paused, letting them get the point behind his words before he added, "in this training, and as you already established factions, then you are going to have a little contest here. Let's see who is going to come on top at the end with his faction members."
"And the prize?" Berry suddenly shouted, and for a moment there, all the other girls got hyped for that.
"Come on, don't you think it'll be weird if I ended up with John sticking by my side? Or Smith? Hahahaha!" William laughed over their naive thoughts, making other girls unable to respond for a few minutes.
"You have one day, after that come here with your members. Make sure to bring five thousand in the end, and select wisely. Once selected, you can't change the person you selected."

"Another fortune telling? Yes! I love that!" She got instantly hyped after feeling a little depressed. Everyone was standing around them, all but her. She felt like she was the only person here who was secluded and isolated, and felt the need to do like them.
But when William told her that, she totally dropped any thoughts and focused more on one thing; to go inside with him and have more fun.
William got used to how she spoke about the test as if it was some sort of a game. And so he simply led her inside, and didn't say anything to her this time when giving her the crystal and candle of light.
"I know, I know what to do, hahahaha!" she laughed, held the two items together excitedly, before doing the test. When William held the crystal in hands, he could easily tell there was a significant change from the past.
"Congratulations, you got into the bronze grade," the moment he saw the bronze coloured dust particles he said that. Yet he didn't drop the crystal, focused more on what laid deep within.
There he spotted four different colours, indicating the elements she got. Two of them were having bright hues, as they got spirit affinity as well.
"You have the darkness element… But also the light element… Interesting…" William found two opposing elements in her crystal, and that made him quite interested in how she used these two.contemporary romance
