Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

As he lacked enough intel, William decided to not care about the reason anymore. No matter what happened, he was now going to meet the higher authority in the academy and get everything cleared up for him.

The residence of the headmaster was situated in the centre of the academy. It was a big and vast four-storey building with a grand garden and a mid-levelled wall.

Around it, there were other central and important buildings as well. The Mercenary Quest centre which was specialised in issuing quests to the disciples from the affiliated families and clans to the academy in exchange for handsome rewards, the Bounty Hunter centre which would accept outsiders' quests and send disciples far away at far dangerous missions were there.

Also, the Recruitment centre was there where all the top forces of the entire kingdom and other kingdoms in the continent would post recruiting offers there. Not to mention the Inner Disciple centre, the Master centre, the Guard centre, and the Law Enforcement centre were also there.

William noticed the presence of many people in the garden. It was his first time ever coming here. In his past life, he never visited this building, or any of the buildings around.

"Follow me," Tang said in low tone once they entered the garden, "and don't say anything until you are asked to."

William nodded and gave Lina and Tina a silent warning gaze to stress over this point. No matter what his crime was, offending the pride of the headmaster would be much worse than anything else.

Once entered, a vast hall met William and everyone. It was almost five hundred metres square, filled with many seats and tables for discussion and few statues and paintings held on the walls.

It was vast yet simple, and most importantly practical. Decorations and luxury weren't encouraged in the spirit master world as many saw them as signs of getting distracted by lowly worldly matters.

The hall wasn't empty. At this moment, William could see around fifty people standing around a central and slightly high seat like a throne. A big symbol of the academy emblem was drawn on a large red curtain hung behind that throne.

A middle aged man with a face that gave anyone seeing him a relaxed feeling sat on it. He was the current headmaster of the Aspire academy, the great Mont spirit master.

William recalled the little info he knew about this man. He came from a famous clan that brought many great figures to the spirit master world and the academy.

According to the rumours from his past time, he knew the seat of the academy master usually belonged to a direct descendant of this clan. He didn't know anything about their spirit or true strength, but holding such fame and authority was enough to tell everything about them.

Despite being calm, he looked strong and quite domineering. William didn't let such a face trick him into lowering his guard. Instead, he raised his guard much more.

He felt a lethal grade of danger coming off from this peaceful looking man.

"Silence!"

Just as William entered with the two girls while Tang and his men were moving ahead and around them, a loud and deep shout came from the group of people.

Without saying anything else, the people all dispersed, each took a seat, and all glared up and down at William and the two girls he brought with, sizing them up in such immense pressure.

"Greeting headmaster and elders," Tang walked a few steps to the front after issuing with his head for William and his group to stop. He cupped his hands and bowed in respect like usual. "I've brought the porter William per orders."

William was now the centre of attention in the entire place. In fact, if anyone else was in his place, then he would feel great pressure from all this focus and would feel the urge to piss himself right at the spot!

Right now, all the big shots in the academy were gathered in this hall, and all were looking at him without exception. Even the headmaster gazed at William for long moments before he said:

"Let the trial begin… Whoever has anything against porter William please step forward and speak up."

William was silent per the advice of Tang. he also wanted to hear everything related to the crime he didn't commit.

Once the headmaster spoke, an old man with long brown hair falling on his shoulders stood up with a group of three people with him.

"I'm Guo, the acting patriarch of the Bronze Lizard clan," the old man spoke in a calm tone before he added while pointing at William, "this kid overextended his authority inside the academy. A porter going outside and bringing back two spirit masters of a rival academy can't be seen except for an act of treason."

William wanted to speak up and curse that old man, but he restrained himself at the last moment. William thought Guanin didn't hold such a level of authority in his clan. But it seemed he underestimated that dirty young disciple.

For a reason William didn't grasp, the acting patriarch of Guanin's clan showed up and came for his blood! And when William thought that old man said enough, Guo didn't stop there and kept speaking.

"He went outside alone inside the forest. A porter, a weak and useless porter with no power to defend himself, didn't only go inside the forest and return without harm, but he also is related to a large killing event in the ranks of the Golden Sky disciples that happened at an area not too far from here."

"What evidence do you have on this?" The headmaster didn't seem to take any side here as he calmly added, "accusing someone with treason is a big thing, you know that very well."

William felt the relationship between the headmaster and the old man called Guo wasn't that good. The last remark seemed to not say much. But at least the headmaster didn't give full support to such accusations and instead asked for an explanation in such a strong attitude.
