Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 67 - 67: A Countermeasure

"I wanted to send my grandson and granddaughter there…" the headmaster slowly muttered in a grave tone.

"I planned to send Berry there as well…" Kong decided that after Berry's sudden recovery, she deserved a chance to experience the real world of spirit masters.

The two shared the same heavy gaze, one that expressed more worry and much concern over the ones they held close to their hearts.

They were also worried about other spirit masters the academy and the Long clan planned to send.

These kids were considered the bright future of their academy and clan. If something bad happened to them, then the consequences would be quite severe.

The spirit masters they planned to send were considered the future of the entire academy and the Long clan. So, losing them would be quite a hit to both.

As the two kept worrying over this, William tried to squeeze his mind, trying to recall anything big that happened at the Golden Sky academy back then.

But he was a mere porter back then, and he lacked much intel about lots of big things happening at the outside academies and world.

"Aside from these papers, I heard part of their discussion when I stumbled across their meeting," Lina didn't stop telling more intel as she added, "I heard that young master of the Bronze Lizard clan shout that such a plot will negatively impact his people, attract the hatred of many big clans. And he asked for a change of the selected place away from his clan."

"This…" William didn't know what he could make out with these words. "Is there anything else?" He tried to know more so he could get the best use of what he learnt.

"No, that's all…" she paused for a moment before adding, "by the way, back then that young spirit master didn't have that ring on his fingers, the one you took after killing him."

"This ring?" William raised his hand but kept his fingers raised in full and didn't lower any.

"Yes, that's the one," Lina nodded, "he didn't wear it back then."

"Are you sure?" William paused and Lina nodded again, "how many days passed between crashing into that meeting and the start of everything?"

"Three days," Lina gave a firm answer, and William was lost in thoughts after that.

"If what she said is true, then there is a big possibility that this ring came from the dark spirit masters," William thought to himself after returning back to his room.

There was lots of mystery surrounding that ring. And the more he thought about it, the more he became sure of his earlier doubts.

This ring hid a very important secret, and he was determined to find out what it was.

He spoke a little more with Lina but failed to learn anything new. She was quite scared back then and hurriedly left without waiting any longer.

He understood what she went through. After all she got terrified from seeing all these spirit masters and realised the mistake she accidentally made.

So, he dropped the things she said and started to focus more on his ring. Even if Lina knew something vital about the dark spirit masters' plans, these were all invaluable to him.

He didn't plan to go to the Golden Sky academy anytime soon anyway. Instead of worrying about such useless stuff, he held his ring in his hand and kept staring at it for a long time.

He checked its content when he returned to his room. Aside from the normal things he found before, he couldn't find anything out of norm.

"A ring with a mysterious origin, one that was enough to stir up the dark spirit master rats here to try and get it from my hands… I can understand why they targeted the two girls… But this ring…"

He kept looking at the ring without knowing what was wrong with it. The ring looked quite normal, and it didn't contain anything that could attract anyone's attention.

The more normal it was, the more suspicious he became. In his eyes, this ring didn't have anything to link that young master to the dark spirit masters, nor had any secrets that would endanger the dark spirit masters at all.

He was sure that something was fishy about this ring. Storage devices were considered one of the safest places for any spirit master.

It was normal for spirit masters to hide anything in them. They were quite small in size, could be carried anywhere, and weren't that easily taken from any spirit master without killing him.

William thought he'd find something to link that young spirit master or his clan with the dark spirit master world, or find more plans of dark spirit masters that might target his academy… And yet he found nothing at all.

"It's a normal ring, one that can be found with any spirit master…" William tossed the ring in the air thrice before finally wearing it again, "I'll keep it close until I'll unravel its secrets one day."

"Tsk… All I got is useless intel about a faraway disaster that has nothing to do with me… Did they get scared by the spread of news about their relationship with the dark spirit masters or what?"

William thought there was nothing that connected him right now with the Golden Sky academy. Least to his knowledge that his path was going to intersect with that clan in the following months. And such trivial knowledge he thought useless would one day save his life, and even turn him into some sort of a hero to many.

He decided to drop these issues for now. Unless he got lucky enough to entrap one of those related to dark spirit masters in the academy and interrogate him, he'd never know the truth behind this illogical situation.

"We need to change our plans…" away from his place, the two old spirit masters were having a totally different type of discussion.

The knowledge they accidently eavesdropped upon changed everything in their eyes.
