A Failure's hopeful Journey

You Xi Wang kept on snapping his fingers and climbed the stairs. His pace was not slow at all. Griffin Tallus saw him and sighed. After a few minutes, the boy had reached the top of the tree and saw his sister and the old lady standing there with a smile. 

He asked, "Is something wrong here?" 

Griffin Tallus shook her head and said, "You can now learn spirit energy reading." 

You Xi Wang's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard these words. The array science has also broken through the ninth level. The reason was that his comprehension of runes had evolved and helped him. He can not cast a level nine array instantly.

...

Griffin sat in front of You Xi Wang and said, "The spirit energy in the world is always fluctuating. To read it you will need to concentrate on the microparticles. To do that, you need to perceive the spirit energy surroundings. It is not an easy thing. The fluctuations are even more difficult to read. What you need to do is to monitor them. Only with time and experience will you be able to perceive the changes." 

You Xi Wang was confused and asked, "Grandma, this is all that is to reading the spirit?" 

Griffin chuckled and said, "My dear boy, if you can achieve the small success stage in this art by perceiving the movement of microparticles within a month, I will acknowledge that it was really simple. How about it? Dare to bet?" 

You Xi Wang smiled and said, "I will try my best." 

Griffin nodded. You Xi Wang later told her that he wished to wander around and explore this place. The lady nodded and allowed him to leave the place but she warned him to be very careful as the place hid a lot of things that even they did not dare to mess up with. 

You Xi Wang bid farewell to his sister and told her not to push herself too much lest she got wrinkles and ran away, leaving a helpless girl behind him. Griffin asked, "Will he be alright? You know there are things that must not be approached." 

You Zhichi said, "Nothing to worry, he is goofy at times, but his capability and caution is also top-notch. Also, he has Maya with him. She will drag him back if she needed be." 

Griffin Tallus nodded her head and began to teach the celestial maiden with care and patience. 

... 

You Xi Wang came out of the valley. He boarded the flying sword and flew off to the south. He was going to meet his friends in the place. Allan and Neo were located in the south of his location and were the closest. As he flew off in the place, the scenery changed. The world they were staying in was called Grandium. 

The place was filled with lush greenery but the next moment you might run into a patch of arid dry sand. The beasts here were also very diverse. The small white cat You Xi Wang met on the way to Griffing Tallus, was at least as strong as a primal soul cultivator. However, it was very docile, and at the same time, he met a bug that was only as strong as a body refiner, looked very pretty like a cicada but it was very hostile. 

The boy was very curious about this world and thus he came out to explore. The flying sword was like a skateboard under his feet. He was not moving fast but very slowly, enjoying the scenery. He was not only enjoying the scenery, but he was also perceiving the spirit energy. 

The boy was not lazing around, the system was on it ever since the old lady told him what to do. The system said, [Yo, this thing is hard.]

You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Indeed, did you think it was so easy to reach the level that of the lady? She is in the Dao formation realm. We are three MEGA realms behind her." 

The system nodded and said, [Well, let me try. The spirit energy here is quite dense. That is also the reason.]

You Xi Wang nodded, 'Indeed, we could have done it easily back at Metropia. Oh, this is nice. How about I cast a spirit dispelling formation and then it will become easier to comprehend the spiritual energy because of low density. Slowly as the perception deepens the density can be increased.'

The system expressed his opinion, [Sounds good. But where will you like to practice?]

You Xi Wang thought about it and said, "We can do it after we meet Neo." 

The flying sword picked up the pace and the young man moved to the

After the contract had been signed, William took everyone that was part of his Team inside the conference room that was under the Head Prefect's management. As the leader of a newly formed organization, there were some important things that he needed to discuss with them.

"I'm sure that most of you are curious as to why I decided to form an organization within the academy," William said. "Unfortunately, I can't tell you the details yet because it is something that concerns the Kingdom's security."

The expressions of the students suddenly became serious as they listened to William's explanation.

"All I can tell you is that I intend to create an elite unit that will be able to cope with any kind of situation, regardless of what it is," William explained. "Of course, in order to make that happen, each and every member must reach a certain level of proficiency and perfect their teamwork.

"There's also the problem of the weapons and equipment that you will use whenever we go out on missions. All of this requires money and resources and, to be perfectly honest, I don't have these resources."

Spencer coughed lightly when William came out clean. He had already known that the Ainsworths were not that well-off when it came to money. Even their main residence in Lont couldn't compare to what they had in their Duchy.

"Sir William, you already know that making an organization requires funding," Priscilla commented. "If you don't have the resources then why make one in the first place?"

"That's because, I am confident that we can make things work out if all of us work together." William grinned. Although he didn't have money and resources right now, there were many ways to get them.

As someone that had accompanied Ezio for half a year wandering the Hellan Kingdom, William had seen the darkness and filth of humanity. He planned to use his knowledge in order to gain the funds needed for his private army.

"First things first, I want all of you to have a mount," William continued his explanation. "This way, we can travel anywhere in a moment's notice."

"What would you guys like to have as a mount? At the very least, the mount should be a Class C Beast." The red-headed boy ignored his officers and stared at the regular students in his organization. "If you have any recommendations, feel free to tell me."

"M-Mount?" one of the students' eyes widened in surprise. "You're going to give us mounts? For free?"

The one who spoke was a commoner and he was eighteen years old when he passed the entrance exam. He followed William because he felt that he had nothing to lose by becoming his direct subordinate. Never in his dreams did he think that the first thing that his Head Prefect would ask was what kind of mount they wanted.

"For free? Yes." William nodded. "However, whether you can tame them or not will depend on your ability."

William glanced at his officers with a grin. "I know that all of you are very capable, and you can secure a mount of your own. However, if you need help in acquiring one, just tell me, maybe I can help. Just take note that the limit is a Class C Beast. It can't go higher than that."

The students got really excited and started to discuss what kind of Beast would be ideal for them. 

William watched this scene as he sat leisurely in his chair. What he didn't know was that inside the Dean's Office, Simon, the current Dean of the Hellan Academy was rubbing his temples due to the letter that had just arrived a few minutes ago. 

Noah had informed Simon that the Kingdom was about to recognize a new Knight Order that would be called the "Angorian War Sovereign", or AWS for short.

He was tasked to prepare for a short ceremony within the academy grounds for this new order to be recognized by the entire student body. 

"Celine, your disciple will be the death of me," Simon sighed as he put the letter aside and looked at the ceiling. "Just what in the world is happening?"

This was the first time that a First Year Student would become the head of an organization that would be given the same rank as the Knight Order of the Hellan Kingdom. This was not a simple thing to do because this would basically give William the rank of a General in times of War.
