nWilliam, who has lived for a billion years, leverages his extensive knowledge accumulated from countless medical books to strike his opponent in a way that’s neither lethal nor causes permanent injury.

nAfter all, he is still a student at the school, a good student who abides by the rules and values civility. .𝒎

nEngaging in a physical altercation is already extreme enough, let alone considering taking a life – that’s absolutely out of the question!

nWilliam is known for his kindness, often praised for not even harming an ant.

n“Ouch! Damn it!Fuck!” Edward’s cries of agony were continuous, completely unable to retaliate.

nAs William got into the rhythm of kicking, hearing Edward spewing profanities, he couldn’t help but recall that scientific experiment which claimed that swearing can indeed enhance a person’s endurance.

nConsequently, he quickened his movements.

nSubsequently, Edward’s screams became even more pitiful.

n“What are you doing?” As the testing officer arrived, the situation finally came under control.

n“He hit me! He hit me!” At this point, Edward felt no shame in tattling,he was just internally cursing why the officer hadn’t arrived sooner. If the beating had continued, he truly feared he might have been beaten to death.

nThe person called to the scene was a staff member from the 13th Bureau.

nHe had just announced on the playground that fighting was strictly prohibited, and violators would be disqualified.

nYet now, a student had broken the rule, and reportedly, the one beaten was a student with an ‘S’ grade testing qualification.

nHow could this be allowed?

nWilliam, looking at the 13th Bureau staff member, smiled and said, “I was just teaching him a lesson, that’s not a problem, right?”

nHis photo had been circulated in the 13th Bureau’s work group, and William held the title of Director of Admissions for the Soulmaster school. In other words, everyone in the Admissions Office was under William’s command.

nWilliam possessed both the power to veto and the power to choose.

nThe officer from the 13th Bureau, upon seeing William, initially looked stunned.

nThen, after glancing at the beaten Edward, he broke into a smile and said, “Director Johnson? Are you giving the new students some early training?”

nWilliam replied with a smile, “Exactly! I’m helping him unlock his potential.”

n“Well, then there’s no issue!” The officer chuckled and then turned to leave.

n“Huh? Teacher! Aren’t you going to do anything?” Edward’s sidekick was completely baffled. What was this situation?

nJust a lesson? Have you ever seen such a method of teaching?

nHave you ever seen such an approach to developing a student’s potential?

nDidn’t you see Edward was almost beaten to a pulp?

nWait a minute!

nDirector Johnson?

nEdward’s sidekick stared at William, feeling that something was amiss.

n“William! You’re done for!” Edward, in pain, hadn’t heard what they were saying.

nHe was still thinking spitefully, “Go to hell, William! You’ve been caught red-handed!”

nYou’re a Soulmaster, right?

nThat 13th Bureau officer is also a Soulmaster. Why don’t you fight him?

nWhether you can beat him or not, William, you’re finished.

nBut then…

nWilliam didn’t stop yet. He kicked Edward a couple more times, then let out a long sigh and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had to discipline someone like this. It’s quite exhausting.”

nEdward, lying on the ground like a dead dog, couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Why are you tired? It’s me who’s getting beaten up here!

nWait a minute!

nWhere’s that teacher? Why didn’t he come over to stop William?

nEdward, seeing stars and covered in bruises, glanced hazily in William’s direction. He saw William and Lila walking away with the two kids, chatting and laughing as if they were a family of four out for a post-dinner stroll.

nThis sight infuriated Edward to the point of almost vomiting blood, but he couldn’t manage to do so.

n“William, did I just hear that teacher call you Director Johnson?” Lila asked, curious about William’s identity.

nHaving known him for some time, she still didn’t fully understand who William was.

nAs they walked, William responded, “Well, strictly speaking, since this is about admissions, I guess I should do something.”

n“Huh?” Lila was surprised. “Do you mean you’re in charge of admissions for the Soulmaster school this time?”

nWilliam nodded. “Something like that. Why else would I have helped Edward ‘develop his potential’?”

n“So, you were really helping him?” Lila inhaled sharply, “He was cursing at you, and you still helped him?”

nThis man was just too magnanimous.

nWilliam casually said, “It was just a small effort, no big deal.”

nLila nodded, perhaps understanding his broad-mindedness.

nWilliam’s generosity was on another level.

nEdward, if he heard these words from William, would probably spew blood two feet high, which he had managed to hold back earlier.

n“Forget about repaying evil with good or talking about ‘developing my potential’!”

nIt sounded more like mockery of his helplessness!

n“William, are you free later?” Lila pulled out her phone to check the time. “It’s almost lunchtime, how about we go eat together?”

nWilliam answered straightforwardly: “I’m busy with other matters.”

nHe didn’t even hint at the possibility of making plans for another time.

n“Oh, alright then! You go ahead and be busy.” Lila, having her own pride, had already taken the initiative to invite William for a meal. His straightforward refusal left her with little to say.

n“Okay, I’m off then.” Having said that, William, along with the two children, headed to Cozy Book Haven.

nHaving not opened the doors for a while, mainly because Alice was practicing secret techniques on his bed recently, William decided it was time to open up, lest people think the store was no longer operational.

nUpon entering, they found the place a bit dusty from disuse.

nAs soon as they were inside, William directed Erebus: “Erebus, go get some water from the back and wipe down the tables and chairs.”

nErebus stared at William in disbelief.

nHe, the great shadow giant wolf Fenrir, a legendary fantastical creature and powerful shapeshifter, had already stooped to dealing with human excrement, and now he was being ordered to clean?

nWilliam noticed the boy’s glaring and smiled amiably, “What’s wrong? Don’t want to do it?”

nErebus’s face stiffened with William’s too-friendly smile.

n“Do I have a choice?” Erebus finally capitulated to the stronger being, albeit grudgingly. “Why don’t you ask Luna to help?”

nWilliam affectionately ruffled his hair, “As a boy, don’t you know you should be a little accommodating towards girls?”

nLuna immediately chimed in, “Yeah! Don’t you know you should be a little accommodating towards girls?” She then grabbed William’s hand and looked up at him with a sweet smile.

nThe two kids were so easily divided by William.

nNicely done! .

n“Luna, do you know how to make coffee?” William wasn’t about to let this opportunity for free labor pass.

nLuna’s smile faltered. Did her charm not work?

n“No!” Luna swore, as a proud shapeshifter, she refused to live as submissively as Erebus.

nHalf an hour later…

nLuna carefully brought William freshly brewed coffee. He sat leisurely in his chair, reading a book.

nAfter placing the coffee next to William, Luna eagerly rested her head on the big table in the bookstore.

nThis oak table, where William once used a drop of his blood to draw an AuraField, triggering the resurgence of energy in the entire world, was no ordinary item. Although he later erased the magic circle, the table, soaked with William’s blood, had become special.

nOrdinary soulmancers couldn’t detect the uniqueness of this table, but Luna wasn’t just anyone. She discovered that her power increased geometrically when near this table.

nHad she not been afraid of angering William, she probably would have climbed onto it.

nErebus looked at Luna with silent resentment. He, too, had discovered the table’s secrets. In the past half-hour, he had been obsessively wiping it, reluctant to move elsewhere.
