Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

She was famous for being kind to weak spirit masters and miserable people like porters and Pride disciples. But there wasn't a single time that she showed such a fierce response, even to the point of asking for her scary and vulnerable grandfather's intervention.

"Berry… He…"

"Let's all calm down first," William was still feeling little guilt about his small lie from before. He knew the kids around Lang knew about such a thing and that was why Claine acted in such aggressiveness.

William was the one who started all this, but he got no way out back then except by twisting up facts and not telling the whole truth, "After all I'm going to attend the same class as brother Lang once this monster outbreak is over."

"What do you say?!!!" This time, Lang's response was that of shock and disbelief. He gave William a look, one that was filled with much warning and threat.

The news only spread to his ears about clearing William's name from the crime of treason and working for the Golden Sky academy. But he never heard a thing about the sudden change in William status in the academy.

Lang took William's words as a lie, another one that he weaved like the one he pulled back then.

"I vouch for that," but when Berry stood to William's side, there was no room for more talk.

Lang knew this was something crazy, quite impossible actually. But if Berry supported such a scary and crazy theory, he had no way to refute it or say anything of what he had in mind.

"Anyway, soon enough you'll know the truth," William didn't divulge more into this matter, "but right now we have an urgent task to do."

"By whose orders are we going to do such a task?" Before William would continue his words, another kid spoke up, yet to be silenced by a sharp gaze from Lang.

"Under my orders… Low grade spirit masters like us aren't that needed at the upcoming battle, right?" Berry said as she wore such a veil of being a boss. Even the air she emitted showed her demeanour, making Lang's corners of mouth twitch slightly.

Yet when he recalled the spreading rumours around the clan, about how Berry managed to get cured from her illness, he exerted more control over himself.

Berry always kept herself away from others even close to her age. And so, Lang didn't know her true personality, like many others in the clan and academy.

"These are bronze and white grade spirit masters… In such a grand battle, bronze grade spirit masters and lower are asked to leave the frontline and just secure the inner buildings," Berry said, in a tone that told William she was apologising for not bringing a real expert over.

"They will do just fine," unlike what she expected, William moved his eyes around the group while nodding in satisfaction.

He might have expected one or two of them to be at silver grade. But even without any, he wasn't that disappointed at all.

What William needed the most was a big number of spirit masters. And he knew dreaming about getting more than that at such a time was a fantasy.

And such an arrangement of spirit masters made him admire the order in this clan. Asking bronze spirit masters to fight against monster outbreak of category three? That was insane and would be like fetching them to their death.

"So, what are we going to do here?" Lang had to speak up while giving another warning gaze to his mates.

He didn't want any of them to suffer from another burst of anger from Berry.

"I'll explain soon enough," William took the lead of this small group, "but first tell me all you know about the monster tide news," he paused before turning to Berry as he added, "is there a place where the clan specified for forging?"

"Sure, we got a big yard filled with ovens, anvils, and everything needed for forging… But why?" Berry felt puzzled when William shifted the topic away from the upcoming battle or the reason he asked her to bring these spirit masters here.

When she went to look for Lang and the other bronze grade spirit masters, she thought William asked for them to form a small fighting unit.

She thought that her long dream about acting heroic, venturing through herds of monsters with an elite team would come true.

"You'll know once we arrive there," William paused before adding, "you are sure the ores and materials are there as well, right?"

"These are our clan's secrets," Lang got over his surprise and reminded Berry in such an indirect way about such a grave mistake.

"Nothing is secret to William," yet Berry didn't have the same good impression as William about Lang. She spoke in such a serious and slightly challenging way.

"I just need an answer," William didn't want to waste more time and just wanted to start his plan.

"There are more than enough," Berry didn't shift her eyes away from Lang who could only inwardly sigh.

This was the granddaughter of the scary patriarch, which meant she was the acting patriarch in the future if things went by logic.

How could he, the one coming from a side family, speak and antagonise the decisions made by her? He did his part to gently remind her, and from her actions just now he knew he succeeded in his job.

Other than that, it wasn't his turf or area of his control or responsibility. But he intended to deliver what happened here to the clan elders after the end of this crisis.
