Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"Old man? Who is he?"

"It's our beloved headmaster," the elder rose up his head before shouting like crazy, "it doesn't make any sense to ask everyone to come here and check on all the techniques the library has! If you want to make them stretch their brain muscles, make them go to your private library, not this one!"

William kept his silence while following the elder inside. Many spirit masters already were getting in without even caring to say a single word.

The most they did was to just nod in greetings towards the elder, not sparing a glance to William.

The words that the elder said made William puzzled. 'What's wrong in that old man's head?' William didn't know that such weird actions got instigated because of him.

From the first moment the headmaster realised what was going on, reaching the same conclusion as William, the former decided to start an all out investigation and research.

He gathered his trusted and free elders; the ones he knew they got sharp minds and high intelligence. He told them part of the truth, that he found an old relic and saw an older version of the three common techniques taught in the academy.

The headmaster was a prodigy spirit master, so he didn't take much time to learn the new techniques. Even if his proficiency in them wasn't great yet, he could at least execute them.

When he showed the three versions of William to his elders, the elders got interested at once. No one was a fool and would reach the dark gold stage of power. So, they realised the same thing William and the headmaster realised.

After a short meeting, they agreed on the next course of action they should take. They first needed to collect all the common techniques in one place, and so they sent all of their followers towards the two libraries to gather up all the common techniques they could find.

They thought about doing the same as William, but they were many steps behind. William just needed to see a technique scroll and would get what was wrong at. And they had to research and squeeze their brain juice to make little modifications to these techniques.

The headmaster already knew the perfect answer to all this mess. After all, doing such a task would be a very long term project, one that would take much effort from everyone, and might not give the expected results in the end.

The shortest and easiest path to solve all this was to use the help of William. And yet when the headmaster thought about what happened between William and his granddaughter, he decided to not ask for William's help for the time being.

William wasn't aware of all this, he kept following the elder inside the library until they reached the centre of it.

"Tell me, what techniques do you have in mind? What's your element anyway?" The elder wanted to show William everything, and yet that wasn't quite possible or even practical.

For any spirit master to perform a strong and formidable technique, he or she must have their spirit elements aligning with the elements of this technique.

That was why the headmaster had to send so many spirit masters here to collect these techniques for him.

If things could be done by few, he could simply have selected a small group of five or even fewer to do such a task.

"I lived my life as a porter, recently reached bronze rank, so…" William didn't want to answer such a question. And so, he used his true background as a porter to evade answering it.

"This…" the elder frowned. He knew the places of lots of strong and deadly techniques inside the library. However, if William didn't have a single element to his spirit, which was something common to such low grade spirit power, he wouldn't be able to learn anything.

"We can start with common techniques," William knew the good intentions of this elder, "I heard they don't require any spirit element at all."

"That's true, however… They are trash!" the elder seemed to look down on such techniques before adding, "they won't be a real killer in any fight, won't give you any edge over your opponents…"

"But they are the ones I can learn at such a stage," William didn't want to enter another argument with this elder. He carefully selected his words, making sure to convince this elder with the simplest words and good logic.

"You got a point," the elder finally fell into William's trap, "come, let me show what we got here to you. Speaking of which, that makes everyone here looking for such useless pieces of trash, what a waste!"

This elder always looked down on things that didn't meet his standards, and William knew that was his nature. So, the latter remained silent, while watching others around doing the same thing like him.

'Is it just a coincidence?' what that elder said attracted William's attention again towards this point. It was weird actually to see such a large number of spirit masters getting interested in common techniques.

And that all happened thanks to the headmaster of the academy.

'I must be overthinking things,' William shook off such thoughts from his mind, and started to focus on the scrolls the elder extracted for him.

Other spirit masters had to fight against the seals surrounding many scrolls here. Even a few got reprimanded by the elder from time to time, as they weren't able to easily crack these seals, ending up starting a big fight against them.

The elder showed partial treatment to William. He kept helping him in retrieving lots of scrolls without saying a single complaint. As for others, he showed an iron cladded face and his cold voice echoed all over the library.

That attracted the attention of everyone inside, asking themselves about who William was. If such an elder showed such a nice side to this kid, then this kid must have come from a big clan or family.
