Reaching such a conclusion made John vow to start spreading out the great deeds of William among the huge community of commoner spirit masters once coming back.
He aid to start building a grand image of William among others, helping the latter in achieving the goal John thought to be true.
William didn't know any of this, and kept watching the team after getting all their gears upgraded. This was the team he desired to lead, one who was strong enough to take on the task he selected for them.
"It's ti to start arranging the team," William didn't hurry to lead everyone away as all expected. Instead, he stood in front of all, while adding, "I need five to work as scouts, venture deeply and ahead of the team, search for any dangers or enemies, and use Bullets to relay news with us."
"Scout? Is that even needed?"
"We shall march like this and crush anything in our path!"
"So these five won't have to fight? Or they will act as a vanguard unit or what?"
"What do you an by Bullets?"
Many exclamations appeared and most spoke about their desire to go all out and test their new gears in real battles.
However, William didn't agree to any of this.
"Like I said, I need five to act as scouts. They mustn't fight, must keep themselves hidden. Their task is just to scan the areas up ahead, around the route the team will take, and notify and other vice leaders about what they found using ssage Papers."
William this ti used the nickna of these ssage Papers commonly used in the outer world. So those here found it weird when he said Bullets, got his aning when he used ssage Papers.
"But…" Lang tried to speak up for others, but William showed no room for negotiations here.
"Just follow my arrangents and orders to the letter, got it?" William waved his arm, stopping what Lang wanted to say, "now… Who is going to scout?"
"Well…" Berry looked at Lang to silence the latter from speaking up again, before she added, "it's better for one silver mber of ours to lead this team, right?"
"This team won't work in a group," William corrected this misunderstanding that she and others got, "they are going to scatter in a few miles radius around, and relay anything they spot to you and and others."
"I'll join," one of the three silver mbers brought up by Lang stepped up and volunteered. In his eyes, in everyone's eyes, they all thought about this scout mission to be like sending out a vanguard team.
"Ok, who else?" William knew trying to knock what he wanted into their minds wouldn't work using words. So, he decided to let this dude volunteer, and later on he'd realise he wasted his ti and effort in a mission that wouldn't require his strength.
"!"
"I'll join!"
"Consider in!"
"I'm good at running fast, so I can do it!"
Of course, the ones who spoke up missed the entire point of what William wanted. He didn't want them to run or fight, but to sneakily move around and hide from the eyes of others in the area.
"Fine," William got the team he wanted, with one silver, one white, and three bronze mbers in, "rember this scroll?" and unlike what anyone expected, William took a scroll and opened it in front of the team.
"It's one of those you handed to us," the silver mber spoke up, as he and others recognised this scroll.
"It's a scroll aiming at concealing one's presence from anyone around," William slowly explained, "the best part of it is that you don't need to place the materials in the ground, but on your gears and body. And that ans wherever you went, the array will follow and keep you hidden."
"..."
This ti, they got silenced out of their imnse shock and disbelief. No one was stranger to the concept of arrays, but it was the first ti any of the ones standing here heard about such a moveable array.
"What a great toy you got here!"
And before anyone would speak or say anything, a weird voice ca from behind, startling everyone but a few.
William, Sara, Berry, Peter, and Lang already noticed the alien presence coming towards them. However, as these four looked up at William and saw his calm look and nod, they realised he knew who was coming here.
And when that dude appeared and spoke up, they all got why William didn't try to act against him.
"Ibra, my man, I thought you were going to sleep there all day long," William welcod this ferocious dude while laughing and saying these words that made Ibra freeze right on the spot.
"If not for standing there welcoming your attacks and not acting like I used to, you won't have that mouth intact to sprout such trash words!"
"Co on! We are all friends now, right?" William didn't take any of what Ibra said to the heart.
He knew Ibra got a point indeed. If a gold spirit master like Ibra decided to fight seriously as if his life was on the line, then William wouldn't have succeeded to lay a single finger over Ibra at all.
But this was all in a hypothetically perfect world. In real life, what mattered was the end result, regardless of any reasons or hypothesis or ifs.
"I'm here just to fight you back," Ibra's fighting will got ignited, but this ti William didn't answer him in the sa way as before.
"Dude, we are going out to fight dark spirit masters. If you are this desperate to fight anyone, pick any of them and beat him till your heart's content."
"No, I want to beat you up," Ibra shouted, while taking out his glaive, "co on! Bring it on! Why are you retreating back? Stop running! Don't you like to move that silver tongue of yours around? Show what you really got, coward!"
