Chapter 64 Let's Investigate Him

All this time he believed that William was acting in such a way thanks to his master. But no matter how formidable one's master was, they couldn't change the elements one could yield.

Elements were related to spirits, and according to what he knew, William didn't have a strong spirit at all.

He came from a weak and poor family, one that didn't bring any spirit masters for hundreds of years. Most of their members worked as porters in the academy for generations, never managing to leave a name for themselves.

How come such a kid who came from such a family to have a spirit that was related to the lightning element?

No matter how Kong tried to see this, it was clear that this was William's own trait. Kong tried to test the traces again and again, and he reached the same conclusion every single time.

"A kid who was a porter for two years ending up being a bronze spirit master in a few days is hard to believe… But for a porter to have a spirit with a lightning element is impossible!!!"

And just as he was trying to understand what was going on here, the headmaster whispered in his mind using spiritual telepathy, giving him another shocking piece of news.

"I found traces of light element! It's the light element!!"

*Fwoosh!*

Kong didn't stay idle for a single moment and instantly teleported to stand next to his friend.

There was another hole that appeared on the sloppy edge of the old garden. And there, Kong checked and felt what his friend told him.

"How can this be…" the headmaster also had the same line of thoughts like Kong.

"Go there and check that place out," Kong pointed towards the deepest point in the pit, "and try to control yourself, ok?"

Even if the two were standing just tens of metres away from where William was, they were concealing their presence and exchanging words using telepathy.

But Kong expected how his friend would react when seeing the lightning element traces back there. It'd be just like what he was feeling right now, a shattering wave of shock was messing with his mind!

"That… That…" the headmaster said in a shaky voice while Kong motioned for him to keep his composure.

It was indeed quite shocking for the two of them. But Kong didn't stop there and kept inspecting the entire place.

"These traces… He used a sharp weapon to cause these attacks…" The headmaster also followed suit and started to closely examine the marks left by William's sword.

"He got a sword, a fine one that he got from Ellina of the Forging department," Kong slowly explained as he witnessed William fight using his sword in the forest. And he got to hear the story behind this sword from Ellina herself.

"What was he trying to do here exactly?" After an hour of searching, the headmaster couldn't tell a head or tail about any of this, "and how come he has not only one rare element, but two?! Have you ever heard about something like that happening in the academy before?!"

Kong gave his friend a long look, as if he was saying this was your academy not mine, pal!

"This question can't be answered except by him," Kong slowly said, "it's rare to find such elements in a single spirit master, not to mention the two elements at the same time. You do know who has such a high number of such scary monsters, right?"

"No! How come the dark spirit masters send someone like him to infiltrate the academy? As a start, we aren't one of the big ten in the entire world! And such a spirit master having two rare elements will be considered a genius! They won't easily let him out."

"It's just a possibility," Kong slowly said. In fact, he had another motive behind saying these words, which was his beloved granddaughter.

He was that kind of overprotective person. And he was quite sceptical about whoever was near his beloved ones.

Letting such a kid with mysterious powers and backgrounds, with suspicious circumstances, get near his Berry made his blood overflow with rage.

In his eyes, it was better to not let Berry interact with such a kid anymore. It was better to be safe than sorry.

However, despite being willing to, he knew he had no say in this matter. That kid already found his path into his little girl's heart, managed to cure her illness and left a deep impression inside her heart.

The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to unveil the fog around William's true identity and intentions.

If he proved that William was an agent to dark spirit masters, then it'd be quite possible to let Berry forget about him.

Even if she liked him, she wouldn't align herself with someone belonging to their deadliest enemies.

"We need to think about such matters quite deeply first," the headmaster didn't believe William was an agent to the dark spirit masters even after such shocking revelation, "if he isn't part of them, then it'll be a golden chance for our academy."

"My worst fear is they sent him precisely for the same words you just said," Kong didn't drop his suspicion or change his mind, "but you are correct. We need to thoroughly dig everything this kid has done since he was born up till now, just to be safe…"

"Why do I feel like you have another motive to do so?" The headmaster couldn't refute what his friend said. But for some reason, he felt Kong was behaving weirdly about this matter.

He felt like Kong wanted William to be a traitor.

"I'm just thinking about what's best for your academy, and you are accusing me of having an ulterior motive… Tsk!" Kong behaved in a much weirder way, making his friend suspect him even more.

But the headmaster knew what Kong said, despite his suspicious motives, were right. "I'll send my orders to investigate everything he did since joining us. As for his family…"
