Chapter 787 Divine Constitution
?”Modest!” The girl giggled, standing up and not forgetting to introduce herself, “Mr. Johnson, my name is Emma Steel.”
After saying this, she also left the classroom.
Her name didn’t quite match her Gothic makeup, but William could tell that if the girl changed her outfit, she would probably look quite attractive.
However, he wouldn’t say these things. Speaking such thoughts to a girl infatuated with him could easily lead to misunderstandings.
The kid in the back row glanced at William, and seeing that he hadn’t left, remained seated, looking timid.
It seemed he wanted to wait for William to leave before he himself would go.
William smiled. This kid was really timid, but surprisingly, he possessed a rare Divine Constitution.
People with such a constitution, if they became Soulmancers, could advance their strength much faster than ordinary people.
In the past, the Soulmancer community often ranked people’s constitutions, with Divine Constitution being the top tier. It was rumored that such individuals had the potential to become gods, but they also needed a massive amount of resources to elevate their power levels.
Typical Soulmancer organizations lacked the resources to nurture disciples with a Divine Constitution.
Wondering why this kid was so timid, William was about to leave when a middle-aged man in a robe rushed in, gave William a nod, and then shouted at the boy, “Silas, what do you mean by not coming to class?”
Silas, William noted the name.
This kid’s constitution was similar to Zoey’s Warrior God Constitution, except he hadn’t had the good fortune like Zoey, who was found and then nurtured by the sea god Poseidon.
The teacher who had just burst in was of a mid-level Soulmancer’s strength, which, in this era, wasn’t considered weak but certainly wasn’t strong either.
It seemed he was an independent Soulmancer practitioner. If he belonged to a Guild, he would surely have recommended Silas to the Guild rather than teaching him alone.
He should know that with such a constitution, he wasn’t capable of teaching the boy properly.
Hmm?
William took a closer look at the middle-aged man. A practitioner of dark forces?
Interesting!
It wasn’t that William had a prejudice against practitioners of dark forces,rather, most who wielded such powers tended to forge their own paths and didn’t follow conventional routes. Moreover, this teacher had concealed his use of dark forces very well. If William didn’t have a unique eye for people, another Soulmancer might not have noticed it at all.
William simply nodded at the middle-aged man as a greeting and then walked out of the classroom.
“Mr. Johnson…”
The little boy whispered from a corner.
William heard him, but he didn’t turn around.
From Silas’s voice, he detected a hint of panic and fear, and a plea for help.
“Switch bodies, to take over his Divine Constitution?” William could easily guess what the middle-aged man was planning.
If he had been kind to Silas, there was no reason for the boy to be so timid. Given his talent, he should have been confident. And then there was that voice, laden with desperation…
Normally, this wouldn’t be William’s concern, but now he was a teacher!
And since Silas had attended one of his classes, that made him his student.
Although not a direct disciple, what is a teacher’s role?
Besides imparting knowledge and wisdom, educating students, and addressing their doubts, it also includes ensuring that his students are not bullied!
That was just the kind of person William was!
The middle-aged man, named Damien, had been at the Arcane Village base for some time. With his mid-level Soulmancer abilities, getting a job as a teacher was easy.
And Silas was someone he had brought into the base, publicly claiming him as his disciple.
The base was not lacking in other powerful Soulmancers, and naturally, some recognized Silas’s extraordinary constitution.
But since Damien had already declared Silas as his disciple, other large Soulmancer guilds naturally wouldn’t compete with him for the boy. As for other independent practitioners or smaller guilds, they couldn’t afford to nurture a talent like Silas.
After William left, Damien approached Silas, his expression turning cold, and said in a low voice, “Who told you to come here? You are my disciple, do you need to listen to these worthless teachers?”
Silas kept his mouth tightly shut and slowly stood up, trembling all over.
“Stop shaking! If others think I’m mistreating you, I’ll just double your training when we get back!” Damien said with a cruel smile on his lips. The kid in front of him was indeed a genius, but what of it?
A genius who hadn’t yet matured was still easily manipulated by him.
He just had to wait until Silas grew up, and then that Divine Constitution would be his!
Hearing Damien’s words, Silas tensed up, clenched his teeth, and had no choice but to follow Damien out of the classroom.
As Damien led Silas by the hand down the corridor, his face immediately took on a friendly appearance, while Silas remained stiff, following Damien like a marionette.
After returning to his office, William began organizing data on mutated creatures and plants, preparing to compile them into a book.
It wasn’t until school was dismissed that William left his office.
At this time, Garen was still near Mount Olympus waiting for Ilias to make a move.
As the sky darkened, Damien led Silas out of the school, and William slowly made his way to the school gate.
Seraphina had also arrived at Arcane Village and had been waiting at the school gate for some time. Seeing William, she called out, “Mr. Johnson.”
“I have something to take care of, find yourself a place to rest,” William replied.
“What is it? Can’t I come with you?” Seraphina was quite familiar with William by now. Although she had given up pursuing him romantically, she felt that just being able to live alongside Mr. Johnson was quite enough.
At her level of strength, she had a long life ahead, and liking someone didn’t necessarily mean needing a romantic relationship. Just being in the same space for a long time made her feel happy.
“Coming along is fine.” William had already decided to follow Damien and see for himself. If Damien was indeed mistreating Silas, he was prepared to teach Damien a lesson.
This was why William often took on various professions.
Once he chose a professional identity, he could find connections with the world,otherwise, living in an invincible manner was just too lonely.
Becoming a teacher, he had his responsibilities and obligations, and people who were connected to him. This way, his actions didn’t feel like meddling, and his life felt more fulfilling and meaningful.
As a teacher at the school, Damien naturally had his own residence within the base. He led Silas into the dormitory outside the school, greeting acquaintances with a smile along the way.
But once he entered the house, it was as if he put on a different mask, his expression turning dark and frightening.
After Silas entered the house, his whole demeanor seemed to deflate, listlessly crawling into a corner and into an oak barrel, his head following suit.
“Ha!” Even without entering, William could see the situation inside the room. So that was how Damien treated his disciple.
