<h4>Chapter 402 The Mighty Shapeshifters Don''t Easily Heed Human Commands</h4>
William, who has lived for a billion years, leverages his extensive knowledge umted from countless medical books to strike his opponent in a way that''s neither lethal nor causes permanent injury.
After all, he is still a student at the school, a good student who abides by the rules and values civility.
Engaging in a physical altercation is already extreme enough, let alone considering taking a life – that''s absolutely out of the question!
William is known for his kindness, often praised for not even harming an ant.
"Ouch! Damn it!Fuck!" Edward''s cries of agony were continuous,pletely unable to retaliate.
As William got into the rhythm of kicking, hearing Edward spewing profanities, he couldn''t help but recall that scientific experiment which imed that swearing can indeed enhance a person''s endurance.
Consequently, he quickened his movements.
Subsequently, Edward''s screams became even more pitiful.
"What are you doing?" As the testing officer arrived, the situation finally came under control.
"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.
The person called to the scene was a staff member from the 13th Bureau.
He had just announced on the yground that fighting was strictly prohibited, and vitors would be disqualified.
Yet now, a student had broken the rule, and reportedly, the one beaten was a student with an ''S'' grade testing qualification.
How could this be allowed?
William, looking at the 13th Bureau staff member, smiled and said, "I was just teaching him a lesson, that''s not a problem, right?"
His photo had been circted 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''smand.
William possessed both the power to veto and the power to choose.
The officer from the 13th Bureau, upon seeing William, initially looked stunned.
Then, after ncing at the beaten Edward, he broke into a smile and said, "Director Johnson? Are you giving the new students some early training?"
William replied with a smile, "Exactly! I''m helping him unlock his potential."
"Well, then there''s no issue!" The officer chuckled and then turned to leave.
"Huh? Teacher! Aren''t you going to do anything?" Edward''s sidekick waspletely baffled. What was this situation?
Just a lesson? Have you ever seen such a method of teaching?
Have you ever seen such an approach to developing a student''s potential?
Didn''t you see Edward was almost beaten to a pulp?
Wait a minute!
Director Johnson?
Edward''s sidekick stared at William, feeling that something was amiss.
"William! You''re done for!" Edward, in pain, hadn''t heard what they were saying.
He was still thinking spitefully, "Go to hell, William! You''ve been caught red-handed!"
You''re a Soulmaster, right?
That 13th Bureau officer is also a Soulmaster. Why don''t you fight him?
Whether you can beat him or not, William, you''re finished.
But then...
William 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."
Edward, 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!
Wait a minute!
Where''s that teacher? Why didn''t hee over to stop William?
Edward, seeing stars and covered in bruises, nced hazily in William''s direction. He saw William and L walking away with the two kids, chatting andughing as if they were a family of four out for a post-dinner stroll.
This sight infuriated Edward to the point of almost vomiting blood, but he couldn''t manage to do so.
"William, did I just hear that teacher call you Director Johnson?" L asked, curious about William''s identity.
Having known him for some time, she still didn''t fully understand who William was.
As they walked, William responded, "Well, strictly speaking, since this is about admissions, I guess I should do something."
"Huh?" L was surprised. "Do you mean you''re in charge of admissions for the Soulmaster school this time?"
William nodded. "Something like that. Why else would I have helped Edward ''develop his potential''?"
"So, you were really helping him?" L inhaled sharply, "He was cursing at you, and you still helped him?"
This man was just too magnanimous.
William casually said, "It was just a small effort, no big deal."
L nodded, perhaps understanding his broad-mindedness.
William''s generosity was on another level.
Edward, if he heard these words from William, would probably spew blood two feet high, which he had managed to hold back earlier.
"Forget about repaying evil with good or talking about ''developing my potential''!"
It sounded more like mockery of his helplessness!
"William, are you freeter?" L pulled out her phone to check the time. "It''s almost lunchtime, how about we go eat together?"
William answered straightforwardly: "I''m busy with other matters."
He didn''t even hint at the possibility of making ns for another time.
"Oh, alright then! You go ahead and be busy." L, having her own pride, had already taken the initiative to invite William for a meal. His straightforward refusal left her with little to say.
"Okay, I''m off then." Having said that, William, along with the two children, headed to Cozy Book Haven.
Having 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.
Upon entering, they found the ce a bit dusty from disuse.
As soon as they were inside, William directed Erebus: "Erebus, go get some water from the back and wipe down the tables and chairs."
Erebus stared at William in disbelief.
He, 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?
William noticed the boy''s ring and smiled amiably, "What''s wrong? Don''t want to do it?"
Erebus''s face stiffened with William''s too-friendly smile.
"Do I have a choice?" Erebus finally capitted to the stronger being, albeit grudgingly. "Why don''t you ask Luna to help?"
William affectionately ruffled his hair, "As a boy, don''t you know you should be a little amodating towards girls?"
Luna immediately chimed in, "Yeah! Don''t you know you should be a little amodating towards girls?" She then grabbed William''s hand and looked up at him with a sweet smile.
The two kids were so easily divided by William.
Nicely done!
"Luna, do you know how to make coffee?" William wasn''t about to let this opportunity for freebor pass.
Luna''s smile faltered. Did her charm not work?
"No!" Luna swore, as a proud shapeshifter, she refused to live as submissively as Erebus.
Half an hourter...
Luna carefully brought William freshly brewed coffee. He sat leisurely in his chair, reading a book.
After cing the coffee next to William, Luna eagerly rested her head on the big table in the bookstore.
This 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 heter erased the magic circle, the table, soaked with William''s blood, had be special.
Ordinary 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.
Had she not been afraid of angering William, she probably would have climbed onto it.
Erebus 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.
