Re:Incarnation System

Chapter 42: No Sorting, Whatever it is

William smiled and chose Yes. Immediately he requested the system to exchange the Ice Mage Job Class for the Dark Mage Job Class.

< Congratulations! The host had obtained the Dark Witch Work Class. >

< Hosts have learned skills: Taint >

< Hosts have learned skills: Seeds of Darkness >

“Thank you, Ms. Celine.” William handed the Grimoire back to the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Together," Celine replied as she opened the book in her hand. “So, did you get Dark Affinity by holding my book?”

Instead of answering his question, William opened his palm and shouted.

“Seed Darkness.”

Blood red tears floated in the middle of William's palm. Celine flinched, while Owen's eyes widened in shock.

Suddenly, a monotonous voice resounded within the room.

“William Von Ainsworth has successfully fulfilled part of his contract. May the losing party comply with the requirements discussed and fulfill their obligations.”

The monotone made Celine flinch a second time. It made him realize that the boy had really succeeded and what he saw was not a living room trick. Of course, as a Dark Witch with her rank, she already felt the authenticity of “Darkness Witch”.

He simply could not accept that William had actually learned the Dark Arts just by holding his grimoire!

“I-This! Is this really possible?” Celine stuttered. "Oi, son, is this real?"

"Yes" replied William calmly. This was also his grandfather's reaction back then so he had already guessed that Celine and Owen would act in the same way as him.

"Excellent ... unimaginable!" Owen was shocked. “You mean you can learn all kinds of magic in this world?”

William nodded his head. He did not dare to say that he could actually learn all the profession of occupation in this world. He was afraid that Owen would have a heart attack if he heard the explanation.

"Md. Celine, will you respect our bet?” ask William.

“Hah~ because I bet, I dare to lose,” Celine replied as she placed her hand on her hip. “You asked me to be your Master, so I will do my best to make you the most powerful Black Witch in history. However, I will tell you now ... You may regret your decision for choosing me as your Master.

“I look forward to the teachings you will give me from now on, Guru.” William said with a smile. He knew that his knowledge of Black Magic was very superficial and he needed someone to teach him the correct way to use it.

Just like his Ice Mage Skill, although he could learn and use skills at will, his knowledge of ice magic was extremely shallow. Compared to those who had mastered their magic to the highest level, William was like an ice mage who could only throw ice cubes into their eyes.

If William were to meet a mage of his level, even if they were to use the same skill, the boy's strength would be much weaker compared to an expert who fully grasped the element.

Just like in martial arts. If two martial artists of the same practice fought each other, eight out of ten battles, the stronger one would always win. This was also true for the fight between magicians of the same element.

"Let's see if you'll sing the same song after a few days." Celine said with a sweet smile. “I tell you this now William, the path of a Dark Witch is not easy. You may hate me in the future. Are you still sure you want me to be your Master?”

"Of course." William nodded.

"Don't regret your decision, Little Will."

“Um... Teacher, you scared me.”

William gulped when he saw the sinister glint that appeared momentarily in Celine's eyes. For some reason, she felt that something bad would happen to her under the supervision of her new Master.

Celine frowned as she glanced at the ring on William's finger. “It would be better if you asked Barbatos to install a special charm to change the appearance of the ring on your finger first. Although not all the lords of Lont City could recognize the Ring of Conquest, those who did so would definitely know of its origin.

“I don't doubt their loyalty, but everyone has a price. If someone offers me something I really want, I will probably reveal it and tell them that you have the ring.”

William sighed as he thought of his Grandfather's words. 'Maybe it's a mistake to put a ring on this finger. Should I wear it like a necklace again?'

Although wearing it like a necklace would hide it from everyone's eyes, it was not a long-term solution. After thinking about it, Celine's suggestion was more practical.

"Thank you for your advice. Guru."

"Mmm, yeah better that way." Celine grinned and looked at William as if he was a frog about to be dissected.

The boy felt a sudden chill run down the back of his neck. He then took a few steps back and looked at Celine anxiously. Celine giggled as she saw the little boy hiding behind Owen's back.

"Celine, you're doing your trick again." Owen sighed. "Can you give William a little leeway?"

"good. Meet me after two–not three days,” Celine said before heading up the stairs. “I still have important experiments to complete. For now, you play to the place of Barbatos, to change the shape of the Ring. We will begin your lesson in three days.”

"Thank you, Master," William peeked behind Owen's back. "I'll be back in three days."

"good. Now, please, leave me. I want peace and quiet while working on my experiments.” Celine had already climbed onto the second floor, leaving the little boy and the old man standing in the living room.

"Let's go, William."

“Good!”

“Meeeeh.”

As they left Celine's house, William felt the pressure on his shoulders decrease drastically. Although he wanted to raise his Shepherd Job Class to its limit, it was impossible at this moment.

Of course, if he really wanted to, he could go on the lower floor of the Goblin Crypt until he reached the level he wanted. But William would not do that. Since he had already sensed how evil Black Magic was directly, he wanted to understand this power to prevent past events from happening again.

William admits that fighting against the unknown is a terrifying experience. But he is not alone. She has Mama Ella, and her flock, to fight by her side.

The boy patted the neck of his Mama Ella as he climbed her back. “Don't worry, Ma. We'll win next time. I promise."

“Meeeeeeeh!”

Owen watched as the goat and boy took the lead and walked towards Ainsworth Residence. His immature face and small body were no different from a ten-year-old in Lont City.

That was his eye.

His clear green eyes were always looking ahead. Unshakable, uncompromising, and unyielding. The boy's eyes reminded Owen of William's father. The man who was alone held the Devil back from attacking the Elf Continent in Silvermoon.

William's father, Maxwell Von Ainsworth, was also known as the Underground Conqueror. The man the elves recognized as a Hero. She was also the one who had won the heart of Saintess of the World Tree, Lady Arwen.

It was supposed to be the perfect ending, but Fate had other plans for him.

'I pray that you don't follow in the footsteps of your father, Little William, ' Owen sighed as he thought of a possible future, but it never happened. 'For your sake, and for the sake of the Ainsworth Family, I hope ...'
