Chapter 55 Selecting Aa Suitable Fighting Technique

"Will it be like this one here?" Tina looked at William with wide and innocent eyes that were filled with expectation.

William felt bad to lie to such cute eyes and felt worse to let her down. "It will be quite a nice place as well," he only managed to say these words before Tina took this as an agreement.

"Yes! I knew the young master was capable and strong! Hurray!"

She raised her little fist high in the air while jumping the remaining few stairs before landing and ran off to check the rooms again. "I'm going to select my room first. No one is allowed to select before I do," she shouted from where she was.

And William couldn't help but laugh at what she said.

"Sorry young master," Lina said in apology.

"No worry, this place is huge for the three of us," William got what she wanted to say, but he shifted the topic to another point.

The eyes of Lina blinked twice as she realised what William meant by his response.

William didn't put any of what happened since returning back to the academy into his mind at all. He knew it wasn't the fault of Lina and Tina. They were running for their lives, and he had to take the heat coming up at him from saving them.

"Thanks young master for your support and understanding," Lina bowed in deep respect, and William didn't care about any of that.

"Take this day off," William simply said, "tomorrow we will talk about your past life."

"As the young master says," Lina left to chase after her little sister while William decided to let the two girls enjoy this day as a rest.

"They are innocent and naive," William knew despite what they lived through, they didn't see the full ugly and true face of the world yet.

He felt sympathetic towards them as he saw himself through these two little girls.

He also was living a naive life before, and only after running for his life did he start to get to know how bad this world was.

His life changed after that incident. And he knew their lives would change as well after their miraculous escape from the Golden Sky academy.

As for what he planned to do today, he decided to take the day off as well.

"If he wanted to spy on me, then I'll make him suffer a little before that," William randomly selected a room and let his body rest on the king-sized bed inside.

Despite staying there for long hours, closing his eyes and resting up his body, his mind never stopped working for a single moment.

He now had a spirit and spirit power enough to make use of different techniques. Yet the main problem he got was what type of fighting technique he should train in.

'I now got light, darkness, and lightning spirit types,' he thought to himself, 'so if I can train in any of the affiliative techniques, I can protect myself better against stronger spirit masters…'

William knew that to fill in the gap of power between him and stronger spirit masters he had to depend on his unique spirit elements.

Even in this world, whoever used techniques based on such elements would be considered a true monster.

But even if he could train in many techniques, and he already knew lots of suitable ones to his three elements, he was faced with a little problem he couldn't solve.

'My spirit power expenditure… I can't even execute a single technique without having my spirit power entirely depleted…'

He knew lots of techniques, but they were quite formidable and had a scary spirit energy consumption rate. He even doubted with his current low level of spirit power, he'd be able to pull out the full strength of any technique he knew of.

'Shall I learn normal techniques then…' he considered this, but that would be pointless. He wanted some sort of an ace to be used at times of distress.

If Tang and that elder didn't show up back then, William would have found himself fighting much stronger spirit masters without having the means to kill them all without losing his life in return.

According to his vast knowledge, the fighting techniques had different classifications. One of these classifications was the element of the technique. There were common techniques which could be executed by any spirit master regardless of his spirit element.

Such techniques were useful in many ways. They could be used by any spirit master and wouldn't consume lots of spirit power in return.

But one of their main drawbacks was how common they were. So, in William's eyes, aside from their weak strength, they were well known to many, and that meant they could easily be countered or evaded.

William wasn't against the use of such techniques, but he wanted to take these few days of rest to arm himself up with a stronger technique.

And that was the specific element techniques were. And those would bring out deadly effects in return for high spirit power consumption rate.

The next type of techniques were the ones related to clan's and families passed down manuals.

For example, the training manual Berry used to train at had many techniques related to it.

William knew many techniques related to training manuals, including a few scary techniques. But to use these, he had to first become efficient at these training manuals before being able to use any of these techniques.

He was quite picky in matters related to his training manuals, especially with his special devouring ability and the special spirit he got.

He still was discovering his spirit, and he didn't want to just use any manual to train his spirit power. Especially when he didn't need to go for such trouble and could just increase his spirit power efficiently by consuming monster cores.

Yet he also was well aware that to break the barrier of this world, he needed to push his spirit power through the limit. And to do so, the monster cores wouldn't be of any help.
