Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master-Chapter 231 The Team’s Record
"It's authentic," he checked it for a few moments, moving it in his hands before adding, "you got a normal C assessment in this mission. I'll add this to your team's record."
"Thanks," that silver grade disciple moved the moment he saw the elder stamp a piece of paper. William watched him leave with a big smile on his face. William's attention got attracted to the words this disciple said.
"Team's record… That means his team isn't established here…" William's eyes shone brightly when he realised such a little detail.
He once heard about the arrangement and rankings of teams from one of his past life masters.
It was a tiny detail, one he easily missed. If not for the words of that disciple, William wouldn't have recalled this.
"That dude spoke about the ability to establish any team inside any Mercenary department in any academy or safe zone like Scorching Lands… But there is a big difference between the two…"
William got lost in thoughts. The teams established in the academy had many limitations. For example, they couldn't accept outsiders inside the team. And their ranking was limited to the academy, without having the chance for their names to spread far and wide.
In return for that, teams inside the academy would get benefits like monthly allowance from the academy, the chance of getting the support of a master or an elder, and the privilege of having a place allocated for the team as a base. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
William didn't put any of these benefits in his mind actually. He didn't want to establish any base here for his team, nor did he care about any master support.
To him, he was the true and sole master in the entire academy.
In return for that, he craved for the chance of getting the name of his team spread all over the world. To do that, he had to wait until reaching the Scorching Lands area, go into the Mercenary department there and register his team.
That would grant him a team record, one like an achievement board that was allocated for his team. The advantage of this record was that it'd allow the team to enter a worldwide ranking of teams.
"I still don't know how this all works, I got to ask someone about this," William looked up at the elder, to drop the idea of asking him about that the next moment.
That elder worked for the academy, and for sure he'd speak tons of good stuff about registering the team under the academy's name and not under any outsider force.
"Next!"
Just when William was lost in his thoughts, the disciple between him and the window got done with his business and moved. William was the only one standing in line, and the elder noticed he stood there motionless for a few seconds without any intention of stepping forward.
The elder mistook William to be hesitating about taking a mission or not. So he shouted like this, trying to make this kid decide faster.
"Ahem, senior, I want to ask about a mission," William cleared his throat, stepped forward, and spoke in his childish tone.
"What mission? Gathering ores? Or herbs?" The elder didn't take William seriously. He was still a kid, a bronze grade spirit master, one who wouldn't set his eyes over any of the more difficult types of missions.
And when the elder thought about advising this kid to select such missions at another region, one that was closer to the academy for his safety, William pointed at the board above the elder's head and said:
"I want the mission about gathering intel," William paused, returning his gaze over the elder before adding, "the one related to the dark spirit masters."
"This… Kid, stop jesting! This isn't the right place to play tricks!" The elder's face changed a few times when he realised what William wanted.
"I'm not joking, I want this."
"This isn't a game! Tsk! The new generations are all spoiled and raised quite wrongly!" the elder didn't take any of William's words seriously at all, "this isn't a trivial task! The dark spirit master issues are always dangerous! Don't think it's like going out there and trying to speak to people and gather news and rumours… It's not! It's far more dangerous than even seeking to kill any outlaw out there!"
"Senior, I want this," William persisted, suiting any kid trying to get something that attracted his attention no matter what.
"Listen… This is the Scorching Lands, a place that will take at least a week from you to travel through the forest and arrive there. Not speaking about the large number of monsters you'll face, spirit masters coming from other academies, bandits and outlaws, even dark spirit masters… You are going to a place known as the heart of trouble in this part of the kingdom! It's not safe being there! A kid like yourself won't survive there for half a day, if you managed to survive the trip itself!"
William didn't know that this region was called the heart of the trouble in the kingdom. But he could guess why. He selected this place for a good reason.
In the map he received from Sara, he found out that this place was the major connecting point between different parts in the kingdom.
It was like a big and very important economical centre that would see people coming from different and faraway places. And that was for a simple reason… It got access towards the capital, one that would link almost half of the entire kingdom to the capital directly through this place!
Such a place would indeed be quite chaotic. William didn't get fazed by the elder's words and sincere warning.
"I still want to hear more about this mission," William didn't come here asking for advice, but to hear more about the conditions of this mission to see if he could accomplish it or not.
Dealing with the dark spirit masters… He was indeed the right person to do it. He considered himself as an anti-dark spirit master, or a dark spirit master elite hunter and killer.
