"A few weeks tops, I came across a Ghoul Mana Beast in the Dungeon at the Akademy. It did not go well for me. AS far as it being defeated, it was a matter of circumstance and.. some Rat."
"Rat?" The third one with features similar to that of a Bat Falcon showed interest. "Did it look no different than a typical Rat Mana Beast? No special hair or anything like that?"
"Correct. Did some weird movements that seemed to give it the ability to command or influence the Striped Hyena there. The weird Ghoul Mana Beast even talked about vermin in its home. Whatever that meant." William found himself having trouble moving even his head. Something painful passed along the center of the back when he forced it. "How about you just let me get out of here and we go our separate ways?"
"Nonsense. We have much more to discuss." Captain Colotyl smiled then reached out touching William's face. A brush of the thumb that could cut through wood did nothing of course. "Your Body is com
William was not happy about his current situation. He was stuck in an Auditorium listening to people gripe about students and other teachers causing them trouble. He did his best to focus on the book he was reading that hinted at a set of ruins to the south.Why the Teacher Meeting was carrying on like this was beyond him. The high-up Coordinators were not even in the room anymore. Not to mention the Dean and Vice-Dean did not even enter the room.'Possible Archaeology Dig in a Different Dimension! How exciting!' The smile on William's face caught another student teacher's attention. Not that he paid attention to it. 'After I complete my experiment to fix all the trouble gained from before and those bastards marking me. My back hurts something fierce when I cultivate.'"William," the other student-teacher called out. When he didn't answer they got loud. A few others called out to him."William!" They were still ignored. But he did wave a hand up."
.Disciplining students-.Tempering 3 into 1 gave a good groundwork to use. Especially filling in some of what he was looking for. Abolishing his cultivation to redo it to gain answers was looking better and better.To provoke some and see if there is anything he was missing, William sent a proposal in regards to "Cultivation Swallowing" to the School Board when the Meeting started back up.Of course, it was a subject mentioned before but not a single Faculty member was willing to help in that regard. Over a hundred Teachers and Student-teachers and not a one wanted to study or apply for the course.Teacher Hill along with his students were present as well. Appointed in a dual teacher role by a few who pressured it. Some using the rumors of William's incident with the interogation to cause trouble.Gathered in the field as normal, Williams students were griping and groaning. A few eyed him with looks of frustration between his
William was currently giving a lecture on the Method of a Basic Heart Method. The "Stifling Anger" could either help change the heart into a mana-producing organ or make it eat the mana in the body to help with healing.He lost two students in the last week to them giving into challenges. No assistance or intervention was done by him. True to his word in regards to his students who didn't listen.As for those that declined and then harassed, well those people found themselves in trouble further with the Health Department, Military Department, and Disciplinary Department. Not to mention William himself reported each of the students that harassed them formally.Few people took kindly to this. Citing he went above his station to protect those students. But as a Military Officer, even a low-ranking one, William could make it really bad if they go against him for upholding the law."Each of you has the perfect fuel for this. The Mana Essence should be detectab
Medical-.Health Coordinator Bailey was in her office talking to her "close" students. The room was sealed up pretty nicely and was not opening up anytime soon. The regular students would take care of the day to day issues that pop up if treatment is needed."Regina.. why did you put that ribbon in his hair?" One of the older students asked. Curious about what happened the day they checked William over."To keep people away from him. Big sis Bailey needs to make her move before it is to late. Someone might snatch him up before she knows it." Regina gave a sly grin and the idea of someone caught the older woman's eye was appealing. "Keep it up and the others will think you are a Sapphist like aunty.""I told you it is not like that." Coordinator Bailey leaned in her chair reviewing the notes William gave her once more. They were so detailed that she couldn't quite get over the fact it didn't show a trace of sabotage or anything like that. "Surely h
There were so many things that continued to throw William for a loop. Whether it was the customs or the way the people ate, something just kept giving him pause during contemplation.The lack of meat for sale after looking further into it was due to the rarity of Hunters, Warriors, or even Poachers' mind you not wanting to give up the resources.As for sending off the children to the Akademy or the Military itself, it was better than Enduntured Servitude by a large margin. Checks into the other teaching facilities went from promising to overall not gonna happen.'Fees to enter those facilities of better learning. At least the Akademy lets poor people in. Despite how shitty they treat everyone overall.' William leaned against the building waiting for the Library to open in the city. Several of his students talked while waiting on the side. 'If something a little better happens to any student, the various Departments try to recruit them quickly as possible.'
Currently, Marisole was surrounded by Library Enforcers after she was pried away from William abruptly. The only good thing is that they acted after he disconnected. The Malware the female librarian was infected with was way lower and weaker than Health Coordinator Bailey."I am telling you all I am fine!" Marisole protests were ignored of course. Held back by the enforcers as her Grandfather had William pinned to a wall. Leading with emotions instead of coming to logical choices currently. "You are making a serious mistake! He was helping me!"The difference in the Body And Mind attainment made things helpless. If not for William's Soul so strong and the Firewall Protection from his Computer System, this would have ended the moment the old man came into the room."Grr!" William had blood leaking from his mouth as he pushed back like a strangled dog. Controlling the remaining Swords from the 36 Strikes striking at the oddly large hand holding him by the throat.
The latest part of the dig site was just one of many exciting encounters today. The first level that worked on the opening found a few bodies that still had clothing on them. The fact that it was preserved so well was much to debate before even unearthing the rest of the remains."Dr.William!" A man called out down below. The harness kept him close enough to the lift despite his over-extending. "You have to make sure to come to see this before you go home today!""Sure, just make sure you take a lot of pictures!" Dr.William waved at the enthused student. He continued his descent into the ruins. "Gloves on to!"His last words went unheard. The students had a real hard time remembering to do so. Always commenting that the gloves prevented a real "feel" of what was found. the oils on the body were not that a big deal to them.But this was a semi-funded University Dig. A few procedures needed to be done still. Only 15% of what was found so far was going on di
The team that headed to the town was luckier than those at the dig site. When reaching the top, Pete made the mistake that one of the other college students made. He touched the metal harness attached to the corpse uncovered.With out gloves on at that.A silence permeated the area with a wave of light snatching them all up and spiriting them away to a different place.The distance for the people who left was just enough to keep them from getting spirited way as well. At first. The area the fell into had its roof missing and constant years of tremors and weather damage left it exposed to the elements when the wind blew the sand away.Several hit podiums and weird protrusions coming down. A young man had an unfortunate encounter with a rod. His jaw hit before cracking and then sending him off into the light.One by one they all hit something that sent them away. All but William and Claire. Mosconi had shattered his legs landing on his feet. Falling
