Chapter 149 Won't You Come With Me?

William was speechless. In his past life in the academy, all he enjoyed was such a tight room with a harsh bed.

He knew such a treatment was thanks to the old man's arrangements, but this was simply too much to accept.

After all, he didn't intend to use that place for any of his future plans. He got enough cores to get him a good place away from the academy.

Yet he needed time to plan things right. The clan wasn't that far away from the kingdom's capital. But travelling there would take at least a month if not more.

One month might seem a lot, but compared to the vastness of this world, it wasn't that much actually.

Besides, William knew there were other ways to get there in much less time than that!

He needed to go to the kingdom's capital not just to buy a base for his future team there, but also to visit the auction house.

He got his hands on rare monster cores. Even if the old man didn't try to foil the market here, the cores William intended to sell would do the same effect regardless.

William needed a bigger market for his cores to get the best value of them. And that was only available to him at the kingdom's capital. That was where he decided to go next.

But first he needed to settle in, start joining the classes, before taking a single step towards the kingdom's capital.

As the group passed through the streets, they started to hear whispers and words about the battle that happened at the Long clan.

Everyone was circulating rumours everywhere about this battle. Some claimed that some hidden masters came and stepped in to help the Long clan fend off such scary monster tide.

Others claimed that the losses of the Long clan were in fact quite disastrous and winning that battle came at a bitter price no better than losing the clan itself! These folks believed that the Long clan just formed out such lies to cover up their losses and didn't show any of their current weakness.

The more they listened, the more surprised they got by the wild imagination of everyone, and the tons of fake news many were circulating around.

"This… Shouldn't we step in and clarify things?" Berry was speechless for almost half an hour before she turned to William and whispered.

"Telling them what? Let them run their imagination wild," William laughed and didn't care about that. In fact, he was glad of such a situation.

He was worried a little about the spread of the real news. A porter like him turning into some sort of unfathomable hero in the span of a couple of weeks? This was something that'd drive more trouble his way than good luck.

As William didn't agree, Berry dropped the matter of explaining. Yet she couldn't help but get mad the more she listened.

The journey ended in front of a medium-sized, one storey building. The building had a small garden, a short heighted steel fenced wall, and a good looking front.

William instantly liked it. And Tina fell in love with it. However…

"This isn't anything like the couple of places we stayed at before!" The little girl couldn't help but mutter in complaint, making the other three around laugh on her comment.

William knew that he promised Tina to live in a similar place like what they stayed at inside the headmaster's residence. Yet he casually gave her such a promise, and that made him feel a little guilty.

"It's not that bad actually," William paused before adding, "it has a garden, few balconies, and it's quite spacious inside. I'm sure you'll like it."

"Is it ours then?" Like any kid, Tina simply flipped the switch from being discontent to being excited.

"It's ours," William turned to Berry, asking for her confirmation here. And the latter nodded.

"This is your place indeed," Berry's smile on Tina's actions didn't last more than a few seconds before a serious look appeared again. She was still fuming with rage about what she heard, "what will we do now?"

William looked at her in puzzlement before she pointed to the sky, "it's still noon! We have classes to attend."

"Oh, I forgot about that. But I just moved in so…" William knew he wouldn't get anything from listening to the masters' teachings in this place.

He knew more, much more than all of them combined!

In his past life he didn't attend classes except to help carry things. His main role was when spirit masters here decided to go out and venture into the forest.

"See… This is the timetable of the classes we got," Berry unfolded a piece of paper which had a table, names, and times of different classes, "we have a fighting basics class next in less than one hour."

William felt as if she was asking him to join her. But he wasn't that interested in going to the class now.

He wanted to take a break for himself, think about what he should do in his new life here.

For a reason, William felt she was a bit excited about going to the classes. When he gave it a little thought, he knew she was acting so as this was the first time for her to attend such classes.

In his past life, she was always attending the first year classes in the academy, never sitting foot ever at the second year classes.

He could understand the reason behind her excitement, but he also didn't agree. "You can go and attend it then. I'm going to rest for a day or two."

"Won't you join me?" She was a little disappointed.

"It's just two days," William knew why she was acting this impatient, "we just ended a huge battle. And I need more rest."

"Fine," she pouted her lips before adding, "but I will visit you from time to time."

"You know we have no food or drinks…"
