Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

She wanted to dissuade him from taking such a feat. But who told her William was this weak or simple minded?

"I know a bit of forging myself but didn't have time to come and try it before," he lied. After all, William would be considered a genius in forging compared to the standards of this world here.

"I just want to use the free rooms to test my skills and make something I need."

"Ok," despite not believing a single word of what he said, she decided to stop her daily running session at this moment and lead him herself towards one of the small houses that filled the Forging Department.

The place wasn't spacious, but it had everything William needed. An oven, an anvil, a table used for moulds, plus a large amount of wood and ores used for the forging process.

Once William looked at these items, he couldn't help but smile. He came here specifically for these items.

But before he could do anything, there was a problem he had to solve first.

That master stood on the entrance while folding her arms. The expression on her face was like: Come on, show me how you'll do it!

"Ahem, I don't want to waste my master's precious time," he cleared his throat while trying to act as respectful as possible.

"I have nothing else to do," yet the answer from the master came to cut any path on him to kick her out. William couldn't believe he came all the way here to just be stopped by this master.

William knew his ways of forging would be on another level of those used in this world. So if that master stayed there watching him, she'd discover how weird his ways were. And that might bring him trouble.

"I have something to confess," as he had no other way to kick her out, he had to handle the situation differently then.

"What? You don't know how to forge, right? You were just playing and joking... What was it? A poker game? A do or dare game lost by your assigned disciple and you are just taking the burden off their shoulders?"

Once he said it, the lady's eyes shone in realisation. All this time she never believed what he said. She believed he came here for anything else but to forge.

"It's neither," William slowly shook his head before he put on his serious expression, "I have a forging master already, and he asked me to come here and do a task for him."

"A master in the academy?" The lady's face didn't change much but her eyes looked sharply at William.

"He is someone you might not know about," William might be rude in saying these words, but he had to continue, "he isn't one of the academy masters. But my master's teachings are his top secrets. If the master wants to stay, then I have to ask for your word to not leak what you see here."

This was his bottomline. If she didn't agree, then he'd have to drop the idea of forging here and look for somewhere else to make his arrows.

The lady kept her silent daggering gazes for a long minute before she broke in laughter all of sudden. "That's fun," she said as if what she heard was some kind of a joke. "I, Ellina, swear on my spirit that I will keep anything I witness here to myself."

It was the sacred pledge, one of the toughest oaths in the spirit world. Unlike what William expected, this master seemed to be amused by the little porter in front of her and decided to play with him all along.

She didn't flinch when she took such a serious vow. To her, she never believed a single word of what William said.

She never expected for even one second that this little kid was able to do something she didn't know. She never believed he was able to forge in the first place!

"Great," once he got over his surprise from her unexpected action, William's features relaxed much. Now he could start working without any burdens or worries.

The first thing he did was to empty his bag out of ores and clay. The appearance of the clay startled Ellina, as they had zero usage in the world of forging. However, when she noticed the scarlet vibrant ore, she got instantly scared.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? Hurry up and take those dangerous cursed ores away now! Do you want to die?" She couldn't control her fear and even took a few steps to the back.

Who wouldn't be familiar with the devastative effect of using such ores in forging? Even if she was a strong master, she wouldn't risk it with such ores.

"Calm down, I know what I'm doing," William didn't explain anything as he picked up one ore and flipped it in his hand. The sight of the scared Ellina was really amusing.

"These are going to explode once touching fire or spirit power," Ellina felt that William didn't know how dangerous these scarlet vibrant ores were, "hurry, take them away!"

"I know about that," William just said before he went to check the materials gathered in one corner, "and I'm not that tired of living to throw away my life like that."

"Then why are you bringing them out?" Ellina didn't even consider that William could deal with such ores.

Such ores were taboos in the world of forging. Many spirit masters lost their lives while experimenting on such ores. And the fear William showed was simply natural.

"I'll show you a great trick of my master," William picked up a few white grade lodges before throwing them inside the oven, "consider yourself lucky to be here."

"This…" Ellina didn't know why, but the tone and attitude of William seemed not to fit his looks, position, and age at all. "Fine, if you want to die then go ahead, but I won't let you harm our place."

Once said that she took out a large ball and instantly ingested her spirit power inside. The ball buzzed as if it got alive and released an instant shield that enveloped the space inside this building.

William looked around. That shield looked strong enough to even sustain the attack of a gold grade monster. It covered him and things inside, protecting the walls of the building from any upcoming blast.

"This is my creation," Ellina proudly said, "of course you won't be able to appreciate it. But it's enough to make sure whatever explodes inside won't leak outside."

"Ok," William shrugged as if this action didn't bother him at all. Ellina was sceptical towards him. In other situations, she might have even kicked him away and never let him do anything.

But what William said earlier piqued her interest, and she was famous for being a curious master. She wanted to see what William could possibly do with this dangerous stuff of his.
