"This... isn't something we can let you take advantage of, Student William." Professor Tenningbrew spoke first.
Vice Principal Kenny nodded in agreement. "You are very talented, yes, but we must allocate resources properly for all of our students, not just one. If word spreads that we gave a First-Year permission to enter the Realm of Ice, the various Families would pressure us into giving their own children additional benefits."
William didn't care about any of this. Whether the school gave out resources or the families asked for them, what did it have to do with him?
He didn't show it on his face, though. Instead he responded, "Then treat it as added training. I'll go along and help secure the Roots, and maybe pick up some other stuff along the way. There's no guarantee Riverveil won't steal it, right? Better to have me there."
William's confidence stunned both of the Filem staff members. Does he really think he can guard a rare item against the Riverveil Family?
