Even when she was surrounded like this, she never showed any sign to surrender. Instead, she challenged and even threatened those youths around, using strong and firm words.
And that left a deep touch in William's heart. He greatly admired those brave ones, who chose to keep their heads high even in the face of unchangeable obstacles.
"Who said you should have such abnormal powers and live freely? Your people aren't humans, but monsters. You shall be in the lowest rank in the entire world, not to ask for any right like any spirit master. And you should have listened to us and do as you are ordered. If you did, none of this would ever have to happen," one of the groups surrounding the two girls said in vicious tone before another one added:
"Our young master got fond of you. You should have agreed and not rejected his grace. The blood of your people is all on your hands, b*tch!"
"You are going to die by my swords, I swear," what that youth said seed to trigger the wrath and hatred of the masked girl.
"We are nine and you are all alone. I can't believe even with your strength you can stop us from killing you and your little sister," despite saying such big words, no one ever took a single step forward.
William felt that this group of people were really afraid of that girl.
"Don't you care about your little sister? Co on, you can't be this cold-hearted person," another tried to persuade her to surrender herself without putting up a last stand against them, "If you ca back with us and agreed to sleep with our young master, I'm sure he will forgive your little sister at least."
"Don't listen to him, sister. I prefer to die than to let that maniac touch you."
Yet the answer didn't co from the masked girl, but from the trembling and terrified little one behind.
Even with all the fear she was feeling and expressing, she said such brave and strong words that made William decide to act.
He wasn't a guy fond of charity. However, seeing such brave girls stand against those bullies made his blood boil. He always got bullied when he was weak, and most people just closed an eye and moved to live their lives as if nothing happened.
Besides, sothing seed fishy here. From the brief discussion he overheard he just heard; he felt the origin of these two girls wasn't simple.
Not to ntion from the look of things, that masked girl shouldn't be that strong. Even if she had spirit power higher than one hundred, the others also should have the sa level of power. And there were nine of them!
William asked himself this: Why were these nine acting in such fear and caution in front of her?
"Excuse fellow friends from far," at this mont, William decided to step out and show himself. The mont he appeared and talked; everyone got an instant scare as all the eyes fell over him at this mont.
Even the two girls looked at him as well. It seed no one ever noticed his presence until he spoke up and moved out of that sealed cave.
All this just happened a few tens of tres in front of that slope. Yet none managed to see through the thick cover he placed over that little cave's opening that night.
"You are…" one of the youths, who seed to be the leader of those thugs, spoke first. He turned to William while gazing up and down at him, sizing him up.
And as William finally got out from that cave, everyone managed to take a full glance at him, and recognised his origins.
"White clothes and that mark on your chest… It's the Aspire academy porter clothes," another youth spoke up, identifying William's identity in re seconds.
As William went outside, he could clearly see this group as well. They weren't much older than him. Their bodies looked tough and robust, and they wore dark blue outfits with a golden mark on their right shoulders.
"Golden eagle mark, dark blue tight outfits with long capes and silver hoods… You are from the golden sky academy, second year disciples I believe."
In return for the earlier remark from that kid, William also didn't delay in greeting them in the sa way, or even a better and more detailed manner.
"A porter from such a trash academy has no say in our matters. If you don't leave while I'm being kind, don't bla for killing you," the one who spoke first said in such an arrogant and cold tone.
He wasn't acting kind or anything. But the presence of a porter ant there was a group from the Aspire academy nearby. And that was what made that kid refrain from touching William.
Killing a porter wasn't a big deal in any academy. But killing a porter on the hands of a rival academy was. That dude feared to start an undesired fight with spirit masters from another academy, fearing the two girls would slip away with their lives, taking advantage of the chaos brought up by such battle.
That spirit master who just spoke had a strange scar on the side of his chin, making his chin look like it got divided into two halves by an axe or sothing. This wasn't the only ugly thing he had, but also his nose bridge was broken and showed a couple twists, indicating unattended care for his injuries.
William didn't care about such useless threats, and instead started to calmly examine that dude from head to toe.
He had short brown hair, faint brown eyes like honey, with strange earrings ending up with small spiky tal balls at the end of each… All those fine details gave William an insight about his origin.
"You are from the Rockos clan, right?" William didn't show any signs of being humble or terrified. Least he showed any intention of leaving.
