?These words weren''t said by that Guanin rtive, nor from any of the group of disciples around. They came from a direction where a new group of people appeared.
William looked up and all he saw was a tall youth with a robust body where his muscles appeared from the gaps in his opened shirt.
He had a serious looking face with sharp features, long nose, protruded chin, faint hair covering his cheeks, and short blue and silver strands of coarse hair over his head.
His eyes shone in brightness and decisiveness like his face and words. He wasn''t alone as he walked towards here with a group of twenty disciples as well.
At this moment William could rx a bit. It seemed for unknown reason Guanin managed to weave a trap for him. But thankfully someone came and interrupted this dirty n.
That was what William could think of to exin all this. The thought that what he did to Berry back then brought this up to him never crossed his mind at all. And things that he simply did after that escted to reach such a disastrous end point.
"Tang, what are you doing here? This isn''t part of your business!" the Guanin rtive said in a low tone that was filled with deep enmity and hatred.
"What? We both are disciples of the fourth year, prodigies of the same academy and also young masters of our ns. Not to mention we both are captains of the guards of the academy. What do you think you are doing exactly? Bending the rules and doing things no one asked you for? Not to mention killing is forbidden in the academy!"
The youth called Tang seemed to not put that Guanin rtive in the eye. And from the mere words Tang said, William knew things weren''t that good either for him.
It seemed he was under arrest by thew of the academy. All he could think about was his absence from his daily duties. But since when had such a thing been considered a big crime? A porter missing his duties for almost a week was a big crime now! To the extent of being called to arrest and even sending two guards of fourth year disciples to capture him!
That was his current line of thoughts at this stressful moment.
One had to know that inside the academy there were seven grades of sses. The first year ss held all the spirit masters below spirit power one hundred. As for the second and third year sses, they held spirit masters in bronze grade.
The second year ss had the junior bronze grade spirit masters and the third year ss held the seniors.
The fourth year ss had the silver grade spirit masters. The first four sses were collectively known as the outer academy sses. Starting from ss five it was considered an inner academy ss.
Those would be considered working masters at the academy until they graduate and be real powerhouses either in the academy or at the kingdom.
Having two groups of guardsing here and look for him, all led by disciples of the fourth year, was really something big. William felt that he missed something here, so he had to ask:
"What did I do wrong to make the two seniorse here looking for me?"
"Humph, you know what crime youmitted, traitor!" that Guanin rtive pointed at the two girls behind William before adding with a sneer, "bringing two rouge disciples from the Golden Sky academy is a sin met by death. Make way, I''ll kill them both by my hands and I want to see who dares to stop me!"
That evil disciple didn''t stand in his ce after saying that. He took out two long spears and started to walk towards William.
William clenched the hilt of his sword and prepared for a big fight. He knew fighting in the academy was forbidden, but he wouldn''t allow that treacherous disciple toe near his two girls.
At the same time, he felt more puzzlement. He just met the two girls almost five days ago. During this time, not a single encounter with people from the Golden Sky academy happened. Not to mention he never met anyone from his academy as well.
Then howe the academy knew about what he did? Something smelled fishy here, but he had no time to think rationally about that.
"Stay your hand," just as that Guanin rtive moved, Tang also moved. He took out arge and heavy looking ck halberd and jumped to stand between William and his approaching enemy, forcing him to stop.
And he wasn''t alone. In the next moment, all the disciples standing beside Tang shifted their positions and started encircling William and the two girls inside, protecting them in threeyers of circles.
"What''s the meaning of that? Are you insane enough to stand against the orders of the headmaster himself?" Guanin''s rtive shouted in a vicious tone, trying to make his voice as loud as possible.
But he was met with a loudugh from Tang. "It''s you who is trying to break the rules andmit a crime of killing inside the academy. No matter what, these three are asked to be brought back safely and in one piece, no harm is permitted."
The two were entangled against each other in such a deadlock situation, with no one of them showing any intention of backing off.
At the side, William felt more puzzled. He just heard the words of the two and knew this order came directly from the academy headmaster, the strongest person in the entire academy.
''It seems Guanin outdone himself this time,'' William inwardly snorted. Even if the academy decided to expel him, he wouldn''t even care. But no matter what, he wouldn''t allow for the two girls he took under his wings to be harmed.
Such a thing would never happen under his watch.
Without saying anything, William took out his bow and pulled its string as hard as he could. This time, he ced five arrows inside, the highest number of arrows he could control at the same time.
Meanwhile he was ready to take out his flying knives. After raising his spirit power, he could now control a terrifying group of fifteen knives at the same moment while using the arrows as well.
William was ready to go all out, even to the extent of thinking about using the extremely violent scarlet vibrant ores he still had some of.
"What''s happening here?"
