Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 191 [Bonus ] Mercenary Team



Only few who followed the trends in the academy recognised William. But they kept such knowledge to themselves, fearing to instigate the elder's wrath even more if they spread William's news.

William wasn't attentive to any of that. His mind was simply focusing on reading the techniques he got from the elder.

'These… Damn! This is wrong, this is all wrong!' After flipping through many scrolls during the past ten hours, William couldn't help but inwardly curse every time he grabbed a scroll.

He could identify the techniques described in each scroll, and yet when he read the general instructions and saw the drawings in the scrolls, he knew these were all wrong.

Each and every single technique he read did things in the wrong way, ending up getting the strength and effects of these techniques downgraded by a huge margin.

William couldn't identify the names of these techniques, but he knew them regardless. Even the few he didn't recognise after reading them, he found few glaring mistakes in their way of execution.

'It's like I thought, it's quite disastrous!' William knew if the spirit masters in this world used these techniques, they wouldn't get anything of value out of them.

It was like holding a grand sword but using it in fights while it was in its scabbard! It was like one was fighting with a useless and weak scabbard, not holding a mighty and deadly sword.

What William knew was like unsheathing this sword, throwing away the scabbard, and showing the true might of this grand sword.

'This will take much more time than I thought…' William knew if he wanted to teach others the right ways to do these techniques, then he'd take years to do so.

He didn't think that taking this time was a waste. He wasn't like this elder nearby, not like most if not all the spirit masters here in the academy, or out there in the entire world.

These techniques were all showing faulted and much weaker versions of what they could truly do. And they said a lot about why the spirit master community looked down on them.

'It's like forging, and it's like alchemy…' William knew this was also the case at the other formidable and quite useful secondary professions of spirit masters in this world, 'anything of value, anything that can help us be stronger is messed up!'

This wasn't a coincidence anymore. William could now see a grand and dirty scheme, played out by the enemies of humankind, and the latter didn't even realise any of it.

'I can't change the world, but I can surely change the world of those by my side,' William decided on a plan, one that was formed of many stages inside.

First thing he needed to do was to use the techniques that were quite easy to learn, and very effective when executed, to be learnt by everyone on his side.

Doing this would turn things upside down. It might not have a magical effect like turning them into scary spirit masters in one night, but it was enough to make them reliable teammates when venturing outside.

After all, he wanted to go to one place that was slightly far and deep inside the forest. Going there alone would take tons of time and effort from him and might even put him in grave danger.

Even though he got his formidable technique, William didn't get things over his head. He knew he was limited by the little spirit power he had.

If he met up with much higher grade monsters than him, he'd even end up dying.

Having a strong and reliable team was a must. Even if he had to waste few days and postpone his plans, he was eager to do so.

This was just the first step. After that, he'd start doing things on a grander scale.

He wanted to buy a piece of land and a big place, away from the eyes of everyone here, away from his allies and enemies.

Then he'd start forming a mercenary group, doing outside missions for others. He wasn't after getting paid, as this was nothing right now to him.

He wanted to train his team on fighting deadly enemies and face great battles, so they'd hone their abilities and spirit. He also wanted to have a means to recruit others and expand his little team into a good force.

Independent mercenary teams were a common thing in the vast world here, at least it was the same in the outside world. William wanted to build a good reputation for his team, and like this many would flood his way and would be eager to join him.

Instead of walking around and looking for gems in the dirt, these gems would come knocking on his doorsteps.

"Thanks for the trouble," after spending all the night inside the library, William took his leave just when the early rays of sun shone on the world.

"Try to focus more on cultivating," the elder wasn't as satisfied as William. In his eyes, William just missed tons of great things thanks to his lack of spirit elements, "try to wake up your spirit elements. This way, you'll learn much stronger techniques."

"I will," William wasn't lying, he indeed placed great importance in raising up his spirit power.

After taking his leave, he returned back to his place while thinking about which technique he should teach others first.

"The essential and basic techniques for any good team shall focus on speed, defence, scout, entrapping the enemies, creating a path for retreat, and of course offence…"

William thought about the essential and basic traits any good team should have.

Defence, offence, and speed were easy to understand their value. But others weren't grasped unless one had rich and vast fighting experience.

William knew how it was important for any team to have good scout techniques. Without the need to cross paths with scary enemies, knowing about the deadly dangers lurking up ahead early on was a must to have ability to survive the wilderness.
