Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

The result would still be the same!

William clenched both fists and his body faintly trembled out of his immense anger and hatred. He hated his weakness back then, when his world was falling apart, his academy was taken down, and his life was in grave risk.

But now… Things weren't that much different now.

"No, things aren't going to end up the same this time…" His body trembled again while this time it was caused by his determination.

Yes, he lacked a lot in terms of his overall strength. But he got his knowledge.

"Young master… Is everything alright?" From the side, it was clear how terrible William was looking right now. Only Lina got the courage to ask.

Just in the past few minutes, William looked like a ferocious beast, one that'd intimidate all without even moving a finger.

"We are going to fight," William sucked in a cold air of breath, while moving his eyes among his three companions. "Tina, can you stay here for now?"

"I'm not weak!" the little girl acted out of her age or character at this moment. "I can fight!"

"Tina… Please stay here," Lina had to act when William shifted his gaze over to her. He silently asked her for help.

William knew how hard the upcoming battle would be. So having such a little girl with them would be a burden.

"Fine!" Tina puffed out her cheeks in such an amusing way. At other times, William would find it funny and even smile or laugh.

But his mind was burdened by what was going to happen.

"Stay here, and don't wander around the place, got it? Don't do any harm, don't cause any trouble, and don't place yourself in any danger of any kind." Lina started to say her long list of warnings, acting like a mother in this moment and not just an older sister.

"I'm not a little girl! I know how to deal with all this myself!" Tina puffed out her chest, acting again out of her age and capabilities.

"Where are we going? And why are you acting like the end is coming?"

From the side, all silent and watching in daze Ary finally spoke up.

"Something terrible is coming our way," William realised that he got the two girls tied up to him, but not Ary. For a moment there he thought about letting this dude loose, give him the chance to break free and escape before it was too late.

"Interesting…" yet unlike what William expected, Ary's eyes shone brighter, "let me then contribute to this war."

"Contribute?" The selection of words made William unable to comment further. He recalled the origin of Ary. He was a Pride disciple of the academy.

Such a word, contribution, wouldn't be said except by those who came from families who served the kingdom in the army. And that befitted Ary's background.

"What? Won't you welcome an extra hand?" Ary gave William a deeper look, one that was totally different from what William saw from this dude before.

"Cool, I just thought you might consider running away with your life," William was straightforward and when he said that he noticed Berry coming back with a small group of youths.

They weren't more than twenty, all looking distressed and having a face that told William they were both scared and agitated.

And from them, William could ascertain a single familiar face, one he once met before.

It was Lang!

William got a good impression of that youth. Lang met William when Guanin tried to frame him after the night that he helped Berry at.

The group coming with Berry and led by Lang seemed to be mostly around their age. William would estimate if his luck was good, the strongest one would be part of the third year class, a silver grade spirit master.

"Brother William don't insult me. I came from a father who sacrificed his life for the sake of humanity. He fell on the claws of monsters. And don't mistake it, this kind of trauma made me more eager to follow his path rather than cowardly running away and living a longer life as a pathetic and honourless coward!"

"Well said!" At this moment, Berry came and moved away from the group and stood beside William. The one who spoke was Lang, and he got to recognise William just when he came closer.

"You…" he paused, looked in doubt towards William and didn't know what to say or do. Berry might have missed many stressful moments when she was unconscious, but other kids and youths of the clan burdened it all.

The news about clearing William's name spread, yet without any explanation of why. The feats William did were all unknown to all the people like Lang.

So instead of looking in gratitude like William deserved, he gave William such a heavy gaze.

If not for the strict orders from the higher ups about not coming near William or trying to instigate any conflict with him, Lang would have started a fight right now with him.

Lang didn't care about how William cleared his name; he still held the grudge of that lie from before.

"So… You asked our help for such a liar?" Lang ignored William as he turned to Berry, seemingly blaming her.

"What? Who is the liar?!!" Berry's sudden shout and intense response left Lang hesitant.

"It's not time for such talk," William knew why Lang acted in such a way towards him. But there was no time to waste in clearing out such misunderstanding, "we got little time. Brother Lang, do you know when the monster tide will arrive? Any news about it?"

"Hey porter, mind your own words while speaking with our young master!" Just as William finished his words, one of Lang's entourage blurted out, saying such mean words in such a rude way, "he is a second year disciple, a highly esteemed bronzed spirit master, one you can only aspire to look towards and not speak to."
