William never believed that Dark Power Wielders necessarily deserved death.
In any era, the law of the jungle prevails, and the strongest are revered.
Even if someone’s hands are stained with blood, as long as they don’t provoke William or cause him displeasure, he has no reason to oppose them.
In the distant era of the gods, the wars among them were always accompanied by piles of bones and rivers of blood. Whose hands weren’t stained with bloodshed?
Ultimately, it was their strength that set them apart.
Similarly, the number of beings that have perished at William’s hands is in the billions.
Just in the parallel dimension he descended into, tens of millions of lives were lost.
Therefore, regardless of Luna and Erebus’s true identities, as long as they haven’t angered William, they remain safe.
William and Alice headed directly to the 13th Bureau’s base in New York City.
With their connections and abilities, a brief word with Steven was enough to bypass the first round of tests. .
“Are you really in need of learning at a Soulmancer school? I wonder which Guild would dare to take you in,” Zoey remarked in surprise upon learning that Alice intended to enroll in a Soulmancer school. In her eyes, someone as powerful as Alice didn’t need such education.
Before Alice could respond, William interjected, “The path of learning is endless. I think it would be beneficial for you to gain some systematic knowledge as well.”
Zoey possesses the Warrior God Constitution, a title that speaks to her natural combat talents, though she doesn’t enjoy the Cosmic Entity’s protection like Alice.
Her fighting style largely relies on instinct.
Aside from the mysterious techniques inherited from her past lives, which enhance her energy, and the Cosmic Palm taught by William, Zoey’s knowledge in Soulmaner theory is quite limited, not much different from Alice’s.
Hearing William’s suggestion, Steven chimed in, “How about this, Zoey, why don’t you take up a position at the school? You can drop in to eavesdrop on classes whenever you’re free. No one will kick you out. Systematic learning can only be beneficial.”
Steven almost revered William as a deity.
With William suggesting so, he naturally believed Zoey could benefit from structured learning.
Besides, currently, Soulmancers are busy exploring the newly discovered land, and their primary task at the 13th Bureau is to expand their influence there.
The Soulmancer school, established by the 13th Bureau on their own territory, was an initiative they were heavily involved in. Considering the resources and land they contributed, it was entirely reasonable for Zoey, as the Director of the 13th Bureau, to hold a position there.
Casually attending various classes and learning in her own time wouldn’t raise any eyebrows.
“I might as well study there too,” Zoey agreed, recognizing her own shortcomings.
Given her strength, she could easily defeat advanced Soulmancers, but she didn’t even know the most basic magic, let alone things like levitation.
She relied entirely on instinct in battle.
Learning a bit more wouldn’t be a bad idea, after all.
With their decision made, Steven led them to the newly established Soulmancer school on the new continent.
This school conducts only a month of teaching, with major Soulmancer organizations sending some people to act as teachers. They teach these students the simplest theoretical knowledge, followed by the selection of apprentices by various Guilds.
Of course, if someone is exceptionally outstanding, they can also choose their Guild on their own.
The Soulmancer school covered 100 acres, reflecting the diverse teachings of different large Soulmancer organizations.
The courses were vast and varied, including object manipulation, astrology, alchemy, and beast mastery.
The organizations also shared some of their foundational texts, a rare instance of collaboration in the recruitment of apprentices from across the world.
Upon their arrival at the school, the teachers sent by the large Soulmancer organizations were already there.
As no students had yet arrived, they were leisurely chatting and enjoying coffee together.
“Alice, what brings you here?”
The teachers selected by various Soulmancer organizations rose to their feet upon seeing Alice.
They had all received her portrait to avoid the kind of situation that occurred yesterday with Thaddeus, who didn’t recognize Alice. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚
In this joint teaching environment, they didn’t need to pay much attention to many things, but they certainly had to remember who not to offend, to avoid bringing disaster to their Guilds.
Alice felt awkward,she had intended to come here as a student to learn, but now all the teachers were treating her with utmost respect. What was she to do in this situation?
William, still maintaining his strength at the level of a novice Soulmancer, understood Alice’s plea for help. He spoke up, “Alice and I would like to study at the school. Would the teachers here be willing to instruct us?”
The group was stunned, thinking they had misheard.
The strongest among them was only at the level of a mid-tier Soulmancer, a moderate ranking within their own Guilds. And now, a Quasi-Deity level powerhouse was saying she wanted to come and learn…
How could they possibly teach her? They were actually hoping to learn something from Alice.
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, William couldn’t help but smile, “What’s the matter? Are we not welcome?”
The representative of the Emerald Lion Guild quickly responded, “Welcome! Of course, you’re welcome!”
“Alice coming to experience life and study is an attitude towards knowledge that we should all learn from.”
“Indeed, Alice has reached the level of a Quasi-Deity. Could this be what one does after achieving Quasi-Deity status, to fill in gaps in knowledge?”
Mid-tier Soulmancers couldn’t fathom the thoughts of a Quasi-Deity level powerhouse and assumed that this must be some form of higher cultivation.
However, there were exceptions.
Some believed that this was Alice’s secret lover wanting to study, and Alice, out of affection for him, decided to accompany him for the experience.
Regardless of what they were thinking, Alice and William were directly admitted to the Soulmancer school, becoming the first students to enter.
“Everyone, this lady beside me is Director Wenzel of our 13th Bureau. I hope you will all take good care of her in the future,” said Steven. “Considering that all of you will be busy teaching and may not have the time to supervise students, why don’t we appoint Director Wenzel as the Dean of Students? She would be responsible for monitoring student behavior, handling disciplinary issues, and managing school security.”
Supervising students?
The representatives sent by the various Guilds to the school weren’t planning to supervise any students for the month.
They were there to teach their respective subjects, and whether the students listened or not, any issues they had were not their concern, nor would they correct them.
The path to becoming a Soulmancer relies on personal insight.
If students were to fight, they certainly wouldn’t intervene.
In the world of Soulmancers, it’s the survival of the fittest, and they would probably favor the winning party.
Nobody likes the weak.
Since Zoey was willing to take on such a role, the representatives from the various Guilds had no objections.
Moreover, they had heard that Director Wenzel of the 13th Bureau possessed the Warrior God Constitution, overpowering even the average high-level Soulmancer in strength.
Who would want to provoke her?
