Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

He learned from Berry about the major movements within the academy and various families, searching for anything related to the team exposed during the last battle at the Spal Arena. From then on, new clues began to emerge, and a deeper and wider web began to unfold before them.

These guys wouldn't let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by, and decided to follow the new clues to continue striking at the Dark Soul Master's true weakness.

In just one day, they found and killed about twenty different groups of Dark Soul Masters around the academy and the family.

The operation's initial success excited those who were initially reluctant to join, prompting them to eagerly participate. This escalated the operation, with even distant clans sending envoys to request the sharing of their intelligence.

The death toll will rise in the coming days, weeks, and even months.

William knew this would all end. With each group defeated, more evidence and clues would be found in their locations, exposing more hidden Dark Soul Masters.

William now realized just how large this whole battle was, even to the point of being worthy of being called a war.

“It was purely coincidental.” William couldn’t stop smiling. “I simply chose this mission without knowing it.”

“That’s good,” Berry seemed not to be listening to him at all. “We can seek support from the Academy, or even from my family…”

“No,” but contrary to her expectations, William stopped her in her excited words, “Let them do their thing, and let us do ours.”

“I’m glad they’re finally going to fight the Dark Soul Masters, and on such a large scale. However… we have another goal to achieve.”

"Testing our team? With their help, it should be possible..."

“No, they will still interfere with our business.” William did not tell her his true intentions for going there.

Of course, he wanted to test his team, but that wasn't the real reason he chose to go there, to that faraway place.

He wanted to do other things, and if the academy and his family cooperated with him, his every move would be closely monitored.

He doesn't need anyone's help, he's just worried that someone might interfere with his plans for any reason.

For example, if the principal or Kong heard his intentions, they might act out of fear for his granddaughter. He wanted to complete the formation of his team, stay away from any interference, open a road to the capital, and recruit more free soul masters from there to strengthen his forces.

“Okay,” Berry felt that William hadn’t told her everything, and his stance on the suggestion was already clear. “When are we moving? Tomorrow?”

“This is the plan,” William paused, then added, “You’ve learned these three skills, right?”

“It’s just the beginning,” she said, feeling disappointed in him. “I’m sorry, I haven’t had enough time to train since that attack.”

“That’s enough,” William nodded. “Go back to training now. We’ll meet here at noon.”

“Okay,” William said, seeing her out before returning to his work.

He first cooked a meal, ate it, and then closed the study door.

There, he took out all the scrolls from both studies and began studying them until late at night.

“I hope this is enough,” he said, looking at his work with a sense of satisfaction. “Although this is not my best work, these formations and scrolls are enough to deal with any dark soul master, as long as they don’t send out dark gold-level ones to deal with us.”

William put everything into the black ring he had received from the merchant, returned to his room, and enjoyed eight hours of sleep.

Overnight, the students of the academy were abuzz with news about William's team. Even though most of them had not received a formal invitation from any of the four Williams in charge of the project, they knew the time and place of the team meeting.

From early morning, many people began walking towards the college gate, waiting for William's arrival.

William got up an hour before noon, ate breakfast slowly, checked on the girls, and quickly altered the contents of the rings before Berry arrived.

"Where is everyone?" Berry suddenly remembered something and asked, "I haven't seen Tina and Lina for days... Are they alright?"

“They’re doing something for me outside,” William said, making sure there were enough materials left to activate the array around the house. He left clear instructions next to the materials on the table, explaining how the girls would use them and where to bury them to activate the array.

He didn't know how much longer he would be away from here. Who knew what would happen? Because of his actions, many things had begun to change compared to his previous life, so he wasn't sure if the academy was still safe.

That formation was only there to prevent unexpected events. "Let's go," he mumbled, answering the two sisters' questions before walking outside and closing the door. "The rest of you wait for us at the main gate."

“Ah, is that where we’re supposed to meet everyone?” Berry realized. “That explains why so many people have been heading there in the last few hours.”

"many?"

"Yes, many people go there and are likely waiting for you to arrive."

"Hmm... did they invite so many people or what?" William didn't mind the presence of a large number of Soul Masters.
