Chapter 41: Ch-41 Apology



He could even tell that he could\'ve taken the man in front of him down if he just worked together with his summons.

But in the end, he ended up panicking and just used [spirit ascension] to quickly end the fight.

(Don\'t beat yourself up over it; you were up against someone older and more experienced than you) said Wiz inside his mind.

(Yeah, what the blue thing said, you did great.) Agni also chimed in.

"Thanks guys", I appreciate your effort to cheer me up."

"However, there is no need to make excuses for me; I just need to get even stronger," William said with determination in his eyes.

(That\'s the spirit.) Sera chimed in, happy that her host was serious about getting stronger.

(I see what you did there.) Gionne said  finding the joke amusing.

Unfortunately, neither the other spirits nor William agreed with him, as an awkward silence followed for a few seconds.

"So, like I was saying before, let\'s depart for the neutral continent tomorrow," William said, choosing to ignore Gionne\'s previous attempt at a joke.

But first things first.

He wasn\'t really hurt; his clothes got a bit dirty, but they could easily be fixed with a little (clean) spell.

"What a mess," he said as he observed the now-broken restroom as well as the two corpses around him.

Thankfully, the man created a sub-dimension, so the restroom will appear normal on the other side.

As for the corpses, he just put them inside his shadow domain.

Now moving his attention towards the palm-sized ball that the assasins used to create a sub-dimension, he thought.

\'It would be a shame to just leave such a useful S-rank artifact like that\'

[Don\'t bother, it\'s most likely enchanted with location tracking magic or some other similar spell.] Zephyr said in his mind, warning him against keeping the artifact.

"Yeah, I figured." William sighed, already having guessed that.

With a heavy heart, he finally destroyed the artifact, returning everything to normal.

Wiliam was now back, standing in a pristine restroom with no trace of the battle that just took place.

The whole fight lasted a total of 3 minutes and 36 seconds; if it had lasted another minute or two, Rex or some other powerhouse might have been able to detect the disturbance in space, but thankfully it didn\'t, so Williams secret was safe for now.

With a calm expression on his face, he just washed his hands and walked out of the room.

As William was making his way towards the area with all the food, he was stopped by an unexpected voice.

"Hey, do you have a minute?" A voice called out from behind.

Hearing the voice, William turned around, curious to see who had stopped him.

However, he didn\'t really expect to meet the boy he had beaten up two years ago again.

Jack was wearing a clean double-breasted white suit with pants of the same colour, along with a white tie.

His brown hair was neatly gelled, and his face had a slight make-up just to make his skin look a bit cleaner and have a better texture.

Overall, the boy looked like one of those arrogant nobles who like to abuse their status.

\'Sigh, this is going to be annoying,\' William thought.

"Hey, I asked you a question," Jack said, annoyed by being ignored.

"Yeah, sure, I have a minute  go ahead," William replied, hoping not to need to beat up the idiot in front of him again.

"So I\'m not really sure how to say this, but..."

"I\'m sorry for being a douchebag back then," Jack said with visible difficulty.

(No shot) Wiz said in Williams mind.

(Aww, man, I was hoping for a fight) Agni also chimed in.

\'Shut up guys\'

"I\'m sorry; I seemed to have misheard you, but did you just apologize?" William asked, still in disbelief at being apologised to.

"Aww, come on, it was hard for me to apologise. Don\'t make me repeat myself."

"Alright, but why would you apologise for something that happened two years ago?" William asked, still unsure about why he would apologise like that out of nowhere.

"Well, it was my fault back then for being a douchebag, and it was weighing on my consciousness," Jack said, a bit embarrassed by saying it out loud.

(Wow, what a plot twist) Sera said in Williams mind.

(Damm, I didn\'t expect him to be a decent dude) Wiz also chimed in.

(Let\'s just beat him up anyway.) Agni said, still annoyed at missing an opportunity to beat up someone weaker than him.

The spirits had gotten to see Williams memories back when they contracted, as that was just a basic thing to do when contracting with a spirit.

They didn\'t really care that William had memories of his past life, as it didn\'t really affect them.

\'Man, you guys need to stop butting in so often,\' William said in his mind.

"You still here?" Jack asked, unsure why the white-haired boy was randomly blanking out.

At first, after getting beaten, he was really annoyed at William and even more so at himself for embarrassing himself in front of his sister.

However, over time, as he grew up, he realised that it was his fault, and the realisation was haunting him as Jack wanted to use his powers to help the weak like his father.

So for him to try and beat up someone younger than himself over his little sister was embarrassing, to say the least.

Speaking of his little sister, over time he came to realise that maybe he couldn\'t marry her due to being related.

He was disappointed at first, but on second thought, people just marry to live together, and they already live in the same house. So they didn\'t even need to marry in the first place.

And for the issue of her marrying another boy and leaving their home, Jack can just make it so that her husband moves in with them.

That way, they could all live together forever; it was the perfect future.

However, before he could get his happy ending, he needed to own up to his own mistake so it wouldn\'t haunt him in the future, which is why he took the opportunity to apologise when he saw the white-haired boy all alone.

"O-oh, yeah, my bad, but sure, I forgive you," William exclaimed, still a bit taken aback, but he stopped paying mind to it as he made his way back to the corner where food was kept.

"Oh, nice," Jack said, happy that the boy was a reasonable person who didn\'t hold grudges.

However, just when he was about to leave, he remembered something, as he asked.

"Hey, before you go, have you seen Ciara anywhere?"

Hearing that name, William also stopped as a bad premonition came over his heart.

"Why, what happened?" He asked, hoping that his guess was wrong.

"Oh, nothing too bad; it\'s just weird why I haven\'t seen her for like 20 minutes now; I was just looking for her when I saw you," Jack replied in a relaxed tone.

\'shit\' William thought as a possibility he hadn\'t previously considered took over him.

Sorry for the late upload. I had an exam.

Also, tell me if you guys would like the spirits to have a few dialogues every now and then, like in this chapter, or if I should just keep them muted.
