The beast tide are coming

After the class, William as usual head over to the west forest. He didn't hunt any monster that was higher level than him, cause his mana was still replenishing but he still managed to level up to 19.

As soon as William entered the door he immediately heard her sister.

"Brother do you have a girlfriend?" Claire asked him with her hands in her waist.

William looked at his sister and replied, "No, I don't have, why do you ask?"

He walked inside and sat down at the sofa. Claire followed him and stop in front of him.

"I heard you challenge a ranker this morning because your woman was beaten by him" Claire said while she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

William almost choked when he heard her. He didn't have any experience with any woman. Oh? There's one woman and that woman was crazy.

"What?! Who's my woman?" William widened his eye's and asked Claire.

"That Alice you talk about the other day" Claire said as she bend forward and her face got closer to William.

"Alice is a..... friend" William put his hand on his chin and before he said.

After a whole night of interrogation he went to his room and slept immediately as he was mentally exhausted.

"William, how did you train?" James asked William.

William raised an eyebrow at James question.

Alice also have a look of interest in her eyes at James question. This question was the one Alice always wanted to asked William but she didn't asked, she knows that everyone have atleast one secret.

"Do you want to know?" William looked at James as he asked seriously.

"I'm..... just wondering" James said.

"Ok, follow me after class" William said and turned his head to Alice.

"Want to come?" William said to her.

Alice hesitated a little before she nodded in response to William.

****

"Ahhhhh!! William are you trying to kill me?" James shouted loudly. He was running as fast as he can because there's a level 20 monster that was chasing him.

"William I'll kill you!!" Alice also shouted loudly she was the same as James but the monster that was chasing her was level 30, ten level higher than the monster who was chasing James.

It seems Alice managed to level up this month. She was now at level 25 compared to the first day of school she was at level 24.

James was the same level as the first day of school, he was at level 16. But with just a little push he should be able to level up.

1 hour before, Alice and James followed William here in the west forest. They were wondering what were they doing here. William showed both of them how he trained. Both Alice and James were scared when they saw a high level monster but the next moment they saw William flashed and easily killed the monster.

William looked at the two of them and said, "everyday I train here and kept hunting a monster higher level than me"

Alice and James was shocked that William kept hunting a monster higher level than him to break his limit. Their training was childish compared to Williams training method but they didn't know that William didn't train he just want to kill monster and level up.

"Okay, I'll train the two of you from now on" William said to Alice and James.

Alice and James didn't have any experience in a life and death battle, and many of their opponent was amateur. That's why he let them fight a monster that was a little higher level than both of them. William will not help them kill the monster but he will save them if their life was in danger.

A week have pass, both Alice and James was fighting a monster with three levels higher than both of them. Both of them adjusted and they were not scared like the first day he brought them here.

He now was training them how to control mana.

"Alice and James concentrate and tried to feel the mana in the surroundings" William said.

"But I don't feel anything" James replied to William.

"We all use mana, both of you uses it when you cast a spell or use a skill. When your opponent used mana to pressure you, Alice and James you felt them right when Jack tried to used his mana to pressure me"

Alice and James nodded their head in response that they were listening to him.

"You don't feel anything in the surrounding because the mana was at peace and calm" William explained to them.

"Now try one more time" William said.

Both Alice and James nodded and sat down in a lotus position.

Another week have pass, both Alice and James could control their mana but not at Williams level.

Alice grew closer in the two for the past week. She also started to take the initiative to talk to William.

William was hunting a monster with James and Alice deep inside the forest.

William also checked their elemental affinity. When Alice and James heard this both of them didn't knew what's this elemental affinity. The academy didn't have the knowledge about elemental affinity so it's naturally that they don't know. The knowledge of this city was limited only to a small city that doesn't house a single legendary powerhouse.

The highest affinity one have to the element he or she can easily learn a skill or spell of their element. They could cast a stronger spell or skill at the same level.

Alice highest element affinity is wind while James is wood. William advice them to learn a skill or spell related to their affinity because it will improve their attack power by a huge margin.

William doesn't have any high affinities to any element. When he checked his affinity all of the element affinity was on the average level. The two thought that Williams affinity was fire because he could use the simple fireball spell to the extreme.

He answered them that his control over mana was beyond their imagination. He said that's why he was a low level when he enroll in the academy and for the past few years he trained his control over his mana, of course that was a lie.

William didn't sit idle in the past weeks. He managed to level up more than once.

William looked at his stats.

He also managed to level up both fireball and iron body to 5.

"Alice and James we will head back now?" William shouted.

William walked back with James and Alice. He felt the ground shake lightly. He turned around and looked at the direction of the forest. He saw many bird's flew out of the forest.

William frowned when he saw this.

"What's wrong William?" James asked when he saw William's expression.

"I think we should head back faster it will get dangerous here" William said seriously at the two.

Alice and James nodded before they followed William.

Suddenly William heard a message in his mind.
