The black fox was using mocking words, void of any mocking tone or attitude at all. This was quite bizarre, and William couldn't help but inspect the world he was in again.
And this time he managed to spot new stuff, small dots that shone faintly like they were distant stars or something. They weren't here before, and William felt danger coming from them.
"You won this trial, and you are worthy to have my next gift to you," the black fox noticed William's gazes, and yet he didn't comment over this. It seemed that the fox was more reassured when William noticed these distant stars and started to speak in more detail.
"I'll teach you a technique, one that's considered a sacred one in my family. Don't give me that look, I don't need to hear any of your thanks or gratitude. You won it huge this time, crushed that monster entirely, and gained my respect and admiration."
