Farewell, and First Day as a Student
Everyone in Snowpeak Academy was utterly shocked after witnessing William's display of skill. They were all gathered in the gymnasium, and Tholfnir used the opportunity to warn them about spreading the news.
"Don't breathe a word of this to anyone outside the school yet," Tholfnir instructed. "We need to ensure that the fact William knows this spell remains confidential for now. Understood?" Tholfnir was doing his best to keep William safe, trying to avoid any danger that might come his way due to his magical talent and achievement.
He placed his hand on William's shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry, kid. If anything happens, I'll protect you, and I have some powerful friends to help me if I need it." William felt reassured knowing that someone like Tholfnir was watching his back.
