Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

?"Mine as well," William didn't show any sign of weakness against such a traitor and an enemy. Instead of shutting up his mouth as Guo hoped for, William pushed him over the edge by saying:

"You have nothing to back your false accusations up but your own words. So, you either deem the ones who said these lies as traitors and punish them according to the academy law or take responsibility for your words and get punished for them."

"I'll kill you!" Guo couldn't believe a mere eight years old kid was speaking back to him head-to-head and even dared to threaten him in such a rude way. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Even the headmaster who had many arguments and differences with wouldn't dare to speak to him in such a humiliating way.

William didn't get matters over his head or acted on impulse. Just after he secured a way to extricate himself from such a deadly scheme, he knew others supporting him would step in.

If not for those elders who showed support during the bet or before it, William would have been a little conservative in his choices of words. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

"I dare you move a finger against him with me here," just at this moment, the old elder who previously supported William stood up again. And this time, just as William expected, he wasn't alone.

Many elders also stood up from both sides.

"If you want to break my academy rules, go outside and do it away from my sight," the headmaster's voice fell and suddenly everyone paused in fear.

Who was the headmaster? He was one of the strongest three spirit masters in the entire academy. And he still had his own clan and many strong clans to support him.

Even if the traitors led by Guo wanted to do something to William, they couldn't possibly stand a chance against the headmaster and his faction.

"This issue will be put under closed discussion for now," the headmaster said in a firm and decisive tone before turning to William and added, "go there and wait for the old men here to finish handling this problem for you."

"Thanks for your understanding, headmaster," William cubed his hands and bowed before moving with the two girls towards the direction the headmaster pointed towards.

"He has a ring that will bring death to our academy," just before William could move for a few metres away, the sudden shout of one of the elders on Guo's side stopped him. "That ring is connected to the Rockos clan. They'll know we killed their kids and come for retaliation."

"Yes, we shouldn't risk war with the Golden Sky academy," another elder on their side stood up and spoke, "especially when the upcoming spirit master competition is going to be held at their academy."

"He should deliver that ring to us, and we'll dispose of it as we see appropriate."

"Yes, the ring must be delivered! For the safety of everyone!"

For a second there, William didn't know why they were still targeting him like this. The headmaster himself called for a closed discussion and it was obvious he was going to get his way out of this.

But when those elders kept mentioning the ring, William finally started to connect all the dots he missed.

'Oh, so you want to take my ring back to the Rockos clan? Or to the dark spirit masters behind you?' William finally realised what was going on here.

He never thought that the ring he casually took from that spirit master held such significance. He scanned its content rashly before, without properly examining everything.

? At that time, all he cared about was the large amount of the spirit crystals in the ring. He didn't get to check anything else as nothing truly attracted his attention before.

But it seemed that the ring contained something valuable, so important to the point of making everyone here on their edge.

"My ring belongs only to me," William said in a decisive tone, "there is no such a rule in the academy to force any of us to deliver our own loot to the academy. Besides…"

He paused before he snorted, "don't tell me you are this afraid of the Golden Sky academy, are you?"

"Don't overestimate yourself," Guo said in a deep tone, "this matter is related to the entire academy, not just a mere spirit master."

"That ring has a traceable connection with the Rockos clan. And we all know how the big clans usually work," another elder said, "they hold their grudges deep and won't let this matter pass by easily," Sam, the Scout department leader, joined and chimed in alongside Guo.

He was feeling so bad after what William said and did. And right now, he found a way to vent out his anger by taking that ring from William's possession.

William felt the last words of that elder made their way into the souls of many elders here. So, he had to counterattack.

"This ring indeed had such a connection," William raised his hand before he lowered all his fingers but the middle one, "but see? I removed that thing you are all worried about. So, this ring is safe and pure now. It's mine!"

"You…" Guo and other elders went on their feet when William raised only one finger, the middle one, in front of their faces. No matter how anyone would see it, William just stuck his middle fingers out to them.

"I said it before, this matter is now under closed discussion," the headmaster had to step in again and stop such a circus happening in front of him, "William, go back and wait for the results. A group of servants will deliver some food and drinks for you and the two girls."

"Thanks, headmaster," William cupped his hands again before giving Guo and others a challenging gaze before patting on his ring, as if it was his most precious belonging in the entire world.

He knew what they were aiming for from this pathetic show. William wasn't trying to stir up trouble. But he knew no matter where or when, any traitor crossing his path was deemed to end up crossing swords with and becoming his enemy.
