Chapter 77 It's Over!
"Grandpa! He told me I got a dormant spirit element! A darkness spirit element!" When everything failed to push reason into her mad grandpa Sara couldn't help but yell while her tears started to roll down her eyes.
When the headmaster saw the reddened eyes of his beloved granddaughter and the tears rolling over her cheeks, he finally started to calm down.
A sense of guilt assaulted him fiercely when he saw her broken face and tears. "I came to him, as I felt something weird last night. I asked him to explain things over, and he was just trying to help…"
Once one tear came running, more started to roll and fall without an end. Her voice choked in the middle of her words, forcing her to stop talking while crying.
"Sara…" the headmaster's body slowly trembled as he started to regain his composure. But before he'd add anymore, Sara ran while burying her face inside her hands.
"If my father was still here, he'd never let anyone mistreat me, not even you…" and while she was running out from the room, she left behind such shocking and harsh words.
When the headmaster heard such words, he felt like his entire spirit got shattered. He stood with a face that kept ageing fast in front of William's eyes, while his body kept trembling uncontrollably for a few minutes.
Turning from such domineering into a pathetic person made William feel bad for the headmaster.
William didn't know what made the headmaster get the wrong idea about what happened between him and Sara. He thought the latter was spying on him all this time, and yet something felt amiss here.
"You…" and after a few long and heavy minutes of silence, the lifeless eyes of the headmaster turned and fell over William, making the latter take a few steps to the back, ready to start a desperate battle for his life.
"Move out now and head to the Long clan, no delay is allowed," the headmaster spoke in a tone that was void of any of his earlier strength and vitality.
"This…" William felt the sudden turn of events here was too much for his fragile heart to endure. But the headmaster seemed to not tolerate the sight of William anymore, or even wanting to stay here for another second.
He waved his hand, and his image started to slowly fade away as his words rang in the room:
"Don't delay, or this fellow might go berserk. I can't hold him if he ever went into such a state, you got me? Don't play with him, I'm warning you! He isn't the type who will tolerate your little petty games, not as patient and understandable like me."
"Not patient and understandable like you?" seeing the image of the headmaster vanish like this, William couldn't help but heave a deep sigh of relief.
No matter what triggered such a scary event, it was over by now. His life wasn't in any danger, and he was able to run away from here as far as he could.
He swore he'd never come here again or have any dealings with such a crazy and scary family. And so, he went out of his room, and there he met with the two sisters.
"What happened?!" the moment he appeared in front of him, the two girls stood up in shock as if they got electrified or something.
William checked himself and found out that his uniform got entirely soaked wet by his cold sweat as if he just came out from the shower.
He never felt that at all! And that made him inwardly sigh while returning back to the room and changing his uniform.
"Let's go!" he didn't want to speak about what happened even when Tina kept pestering him about that. Lina acted more mature and knew that a disaster must have befallen him and passed without causing much damage.
"Are we going to be ok?" As the three walked outside, Tina couldn't help but ask in such a childish way. At last, the little girl realised that something bad must have happened, and she got worried all of sudden instead of being curious.
"Sure, why not?" William shrugged, while pushing aside his own thoughts and worries. No matter what happened with the headmaster, it wasn't a problem for him for the time being.
Instead of worrying from that headmaster, he had to think about the other crazy dude he was going to meet.
"It's just… We feel like we brought bad luck and lots of trouble to the young master," Lina could only sigh, as a tone of guilt appeared in her voice, "I believe we ruined the young master's life since we joined it."
For a reason, Lina linked what happened back at the house with their presence with William.
"Don't say it like that," William could only return such sadness and worry with a sweetheart laugh. He didn't know how Lina linked what he faced with the headmaster and Sara with herself and her sister.
Without delving into what happened, he laughed again and added, trying to change the topic, "I'm destined for greatness. And any great spirit master must face hard times, right?"
"That's… Isn't this arrogance, sister?" Tina couldn't help but comment in such a straightforward way, making William's laughter louder and longer.
"It's not bad to be arrogant," William said, as if he was teaching Tina a valuable lesson, "as long as you can back up what you claim, one can act in the way he likes."
