Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 83 - 83: Realising Who William Was

"You aren't a porter, or are you one?" Gran shifted his eyes over Ary, questioning what the latter said before.

William just met this elder, and he wanted to get to know him better. He got a good impression about this elder, not like the devils Ary tried to picture them before.

William knew if he waited until they'd meet up with the Long clan's patriarch, knowing about his role in curing Berry and such, then this elder might consider what he would say.

So if he wanted to know what a man this Gran truly was, then this was the right moment to do so. Gran lowered his guard, underestimated William. So, he wouldn't care about what he'd say.

"I was one," William didn't give a direct answer, "but what about the elder's opinion about us?"

"What do you think an elder like me shall think about someone like you?" Gran pushed aside his confusion and felt more curiosity to hear William's opinion about this.

"Well… For an elder like yourself, you shall not concern yourself with people like myself. But that doesn't mean you shall treat us badly, right?" William threw this bait back and waited for the elder's response.

"Treating you bad? A porter or a spirit master, if you cross the line then you'll pay the price just like anyone else. That's how I live my life," Gran showed a rare moment of his true self, his domineering side.

He wasn't someone who'd sit around and watch something wrong going on. He never tolerated any evildoers, no matter if they were masters or not, or the background they came from.

'A straightforward righteous dude you are,' William inwardly commented over what Gran said, without exposing any of this over his face.

"Elder Gran, you arrived at last."

Just before William would say anything more, a spirit master recognised his elder before running towards him.

"Lofias… What's wrong?" Gran seemed to recognise this young spirit master. Yet when Lofias once came closer, he spotted this weird group with his elder.

"This…" and just as he spotted the porter that was walking after Gran, he couldn't help but hesitate while gazing up and down at William.

William didn't know anything about the poster incident from before. So, he felt a little weird about the gazes of that spirit master. Yet he could tell Lofias recognised him for a reason.

Lofias recognised him from the posters. Even the description he heard about William matched the porter walking by the side of his clan's elder like they were close friends.

"What's wrong, Lofias? Do you know him?" Gran wasn't an idiot. He instantly knew there was something wrong about this prodigy spirit master in his clan.

"Sorry elder… But can I have a word with you?" Lofias paused, looked at William before adding, "in private?"

"Hmm… Ok, let me see what you have to say," Gran turned to William and his group, "don't move a single step away from here."

"I will wait for you," William cupped his hand in respect while getting interested in what Lofias wanted to tell Gran about.

"Good," Gran turned to Lofias, before motioning for him to walk at a slightly distant spot.

As the two moved away, Ary couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief before hurrying to pull William's shoulder.

"How can you speak in such a way towards the elder?" Ary said this in low tone while gritting his teeth, "do you want him to kill you? We are inside his clan, and here no other rule but the Long's clan's rules apply!"

"Easy Ary," William shrugged his shoulders free from William's grasp, "the man is just acting nice, didn't show anything of what you are implying on his face."

Ary didn't get what William just said, blinked thrice before he shifted his gaze at the other two girls.

And when he saw their honest calm expressions, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

To Ary, to any Pride disciple, life wasn't that simple or easy. In fact, he was just a bit closer to any porter's suffering in the academy. He feared everything and anything, kept worrying about others and how they might get him wrong or something.

So it was expected how terrified he was about all this, a thing that William could get, but didn't share with Ary.

"We… Are doomed!" Ary weakly returned to his place, behind William, while muttering, "what the hell did I do wrong in my life to end up dying in such a shameless way? At least dying at the hands of my enemies has more honour than dying here."

"Relax," William couldn't help but chuckle, "we aren't in any sort of danger. You will see soon enough."

"Sigh!" and Ary didn't buy a single word of what William just said.

The elder and his clan's prodigy spirit master took almost ten minutes away from the group in secretive talk before Gran returned alone.

From the look on his face, William got that this elder was briefed about what he missed. But William didn't know there was much more than just the side of the story he knew.

Lofias told Gran everything that happened starting from that weird incident with the young miss ending up with the development of William's current situation.

In fact, Gran never imagined William would be the one behind all this mess. He got the feeling that William wasn't simple, but not to such an extent.

From what he heard from Lofias, Berry's stagnant spirit power big problem was solved. And it was all thanks to this little porter in front of him.

He also heard about the ruckus that happened following Berry's weird status, the posters the clan distributed, the intervention of the forging headmaster, and at last the shocking news that just arrived at the clan.

A porter, one with spirit power lower than thirty point mark, turned in a few days into a strong spirit master of bronze grade.
