Chapter 769 A Beast Language teacher… it almost sounded like a joke
?Samuel knew he could no longer rely on Frederick for this matter.
Finding Walker, Amy, and someone powerful enough to take down William in one strike were now his priorities.
Moreover, he had to act quickly and discreetly.
Thinking of William currently being at the school, Samuel decided to text the teachers there.
In his message, he didn’t express his suspicions about William but instead informed the teachers that William was a novice Beast Language instructor and a distant relative of his, asking them to look after him.
He couldn’t risk sharing his suspicions,the teachers might accidentally reveal them. Fearing they might treat William disrespectfully due to his youth, he simply mentioned their distant kinship.
He hoped this would earn William some consideration from the teachers.
William was like a ticking time bomb. If someone unknowingly provoked him and triggered his anger, the people at the school would be the first to suffer.
Until it was certain, and until he found someone capable of defeating William with a single strike, it was crucial not to offend William.
After sending the message to the teachers, Samuel began sharing his suspicions with the headquarters of the Human Alliance in Washington.
After several discussions, the headquarters decided that they must first confirm whether Walker and Amy were still alive and try to summon the deity of witchcraft to the Arcane Village base.
Additionally, the top ten warriors from the human rankings were to quickly head to Arcane Village as a precaution.
In reality, even the top-ranked warrior on the human list wasn’t sure they could quickly kill a Mutated creature on the level of a Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth.
And since the deity of witchcraft was notoriously elusive, it was uncertain whether they could be summoned at all.
Everything had to be prevented before it could happen.
…
William, for his part, hadn’t expected Samuel to think so far ahead.
He and Dexter hadn’t even entered the office when Dexter received Samuel’s message.
After glancing at the message, Dexter looked up at William and said, “William, Principal Samuel is your uncle, right?”
“Huh? Why do you ask?” William responded, “I’m not very familiar with Principal Samuel.”
“Hahaha, got it!” Dexter laughed. “How do you learn that Beast Language? It doesn’t involve making strange animal noises, does it?”
“No need for that,” William replied. “After all, the vocal systems and physiological structures of Mutated creatures are vastly different from humans. To fully mimic the sounds of a Mutated creature, it requires extensive study and training.”
“So how do you learn it?” Dexter thought to himself that William was probably just given a job by Samuel because of their connection.
A Beast Language instructor sounded like a cushy job, much more relaxed than a pre-apocalypse physical education teacher.
“Normal study involves learning about the habits and body language of Mutated creatures,” William explained seriously. “Actually, it’s beneficial for humans to learn these things.”
“For example, the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth communicates with its kind using infrasound waves that humans can’t hear. When it’s angry, it makes a sharp, piercing sound, and when it’s happy, it emits a dull roar,” William used the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth as an example.
“Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth?” Dexter smirked, thinking it sounded just like the behavior of ordinary whales, and chuckled, “You really know your stuff, knowing the habits of the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth.”
Now he was sure William didn’t really have any substantial skills.
Just mentioning the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth, a creature whose sounds no one could verify?
And talking about its emotions—happy and angry?
What’s the use?
When the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth is angry, it destroys two cities,when it’s happy, it destroys three.
Even knowing this, it’s pretty useless.
“It’s alright, but creatures like the Demon Whale with Bloody Teeth generally don’t appear on land. There are many Mutated creatures around Mount Olympus, though. If we’re talking about this base, it’s best to start by learning about the habits of nearby Mutated creatures,” William now fully embraced his role as a teacher.
Since he had decided to teach Beast Language, he was determined to do it well!
Just like when he was a beggar, he was definitely the most pitiful-looking and collected the most money,and when accompanying others at bars, he was always the top performer.
“Yeah, you’re pretty impressive,” Dexter said, not really buying William’s explanation. In his view, combat ability was the only true measure. Even if William really knew Beast Language, it didn’t seem very significant.
Especially seeing William’s rather frail physique and the aura of a weakling, Dexter felt like he was wasting his time today.
If William wasn’t Principal Samuel’s distant relative, he would have left him by now. Who has time to chat here otherwise?
In the end, Samuel has indeed made significant contributions to this base, so placing a relative in the school isn’t really a big deal.
No one would make a fuss over such a thing.
William could sense Dexter’s perfunctory attitude and didn’t say much more. He followed Dexter to an office.
“Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to William Johnson, our school’s Beast Language teacher,” Dexter went through the motions without making things difficult for William, even giving him a brief introduction.
“Oh! Welcome.”
“Mr. Johnson, hello.”
The teachers in the office, all informed by Samuel, were neither warm nor cold in their reception.
School had just started, and everyone was busy with their own tasks, so even acknowledging William was quite decent of them.
In the office, all male teachers, they saw William’s delicate and handsome appearance and figured he probably wasn’t very capable.
Young and having entered the school through connections, they wouldn’t bother with him if it weren’t for giving face to Principal Samuel.
A Beast Language teacher… it almost sounded like a joke.
In this world, people were either struggling to survive or striving to enhance their own strength.
Beast Language…
Who would care about that?
William wasn’t upset by the teachers’ attitudes,after all, they weren’t acquainted, and a greeting was already quite nice.
“William, take that desk over there,” Dexter pointed to an empty desk at the back, saying, “As for your classes, Vice Principal Garen should have them arranged for you.”
“Alright, thank you.” William thanked him and took his seat.
Just as he sat down, a figure burst in, excitedly shouting, “Mr. Johnson, you’re here!!”
William looked up at the figure and asked, “You’re the vice principal here?”
This person was none other than Garen, the president of the Emerald Lion Guild, with whom William had dealt several times. Thanks to William, Garen had even gained deeper insights into swordsmanship, significantly advancing his strength.
“Yes, yes, yes! I heard Mr. Johnson was coming but couldn’t greet you in time. I hope you don’t mind.”
Garen was exceedingly warm towards William, his face almost squeezed together.
The teachers in the office were stunned, staring blankly at Garen.
What was going on?
Garen was, after all, the president of the Emerald Lion Guild, ranked seventh among human powerhouses.
Why would he show such an attitude towards William?
Even if it was to curry favor with Samuel, it seemed excessive!
And did Garen really need to curry favor with Samuel?
