William didn't know the answer for such weird questions. He felt he missed a great deal of the truth here. If that master wasn't present, then how co the Bronze Lizard clan and others knew about what he did back then? He couldn't even find a full explanation that wasn't filled with holes.
And just as he was lost in his thoughts, he heard the strong voice of the headmaster loud and clear.
"Let's hear his defence then," the headmaster said as he waved his hands in a signal for everyone to stand down and sit back. The last thing he wanted was for the strongest people of his academy to start a fight between each other.
Especially if this was all led by a clan he didn't personally like, the Bronze Lizard clan.
Everyone gazed up at William at this mont. William could feel a mix of feelings conveyed from everyone. So were angry, others were supportive, but the most were showing a neutral stance here.
"You heard what the Bronze Lizard acting patriarch said against you," the headmaster motioned for William to step forward, "what do you have to say about this?"
"This is all bullshit!" William's first words were so heavy and rude that caused an instant uproar in the hall.
"Silence!" The headmaster's voice this ti was loud, and it showed his dissatisfaction with what William said. "I hope you aren't trying to insult us before your death."
"I don't have such suicidal intentions, headmaster," William slightly bowed his head, showing a faint humble expression on his little face, before all this vanished the next mont. "But if others are trying to fabricate a funny story and accuse of things, I didn't commit then I can't be respectful towards them."
"Watch your tongue, porter, or I won't show any courtesy to anyone here and kill you!"
Guo instantly said with a threatening domineer, but William didn't even spare a glance to him.
"I heard la accusations and silly things about what I did. Let ask you, esteed headmaster, a simple question… Is this the Aspire academy or the Golden Sky academy?"
Even the headmaster furrowed his brows when he heard this, but he said nothing and remained silent.
But others around started to cause ruckus again. With a single gaze from the headmaster, all went back to silence.
William didn't lose his head, or act like he had nothing to lose or didn't care about his life. He felt that his enemy already weaved a tight rope around his neck. If he wanted to get out of this, then acting with caution and respect was the last thing he wanted to do.
"We are the Aspire academy. Speaking as if we are the lackeys of the Golden Sky academy doesn't suit us," William's tone and attitude were all filled with pride and strength as he added, "our two academies aren't only rivals, but enemies. If any of us et any of them, then a fight must erupt to death."
William sucked in a deep breath before adding in a loud tone, "I killed those disciples from the Golden Sky academy, killed nine of them by my own hands. I find nothing to be ashad of here about that, not to ntion a cri."
"Impudence! You are a porter and not a spirit master," the leader of the Scout departnt said with a short laugh, "and you are saying that my boys are liars? They saw you, saw everything you did back there."
"Saw ? Ok, let for one second believe your words. You said I t up with dark spirit masters, correct?"
"Yes. You are a traitor and won't get away from this," Guo said in a vicious tone while showing his support to the elder leading the scout departnt.
"That's nice, then I have to ask an esteed elder for an explanation regarding this issue," William said while turning fully to face a random elder from those hostiles to him.
"Dark spirit masters are widely known for their diversity in the mysterious and hideous dark elent techniques. How co a re group of scouts managed to not only spy on us, but even run away without getting caught and killed?"
The face of that elder beca darker while William continued, addressing the entire elders sitting there as he added in loud tone:
"If scouting over the dark spirit masters was this easy and safe, then why didn't the Scout departnt ever succeed in doing so before? Not only our academy's Scout departnt, but any scout formidable master will find it hard and quite risky to do so."
William wasn't exaggerating. This wasn't only the case in this world, but also at the outer vast world.
Dark spirit masters have very sinister and hard to grasp ways of detecting those who tried to spy or follow them. And the end result usually was either by failing to accomplish anything, or a brutal fight where most of the scout spirit masters would get killed and heavily wounded.
"Are you saying that I'm a liar? Are you insane, damn piece of trash porter?" the Scout departnt leader said in a deep tone, filled with death threats.
"A porter or not, it's not up to to accuse you of anything," William shrugged as if such a threatening attitude ant nothing to him, "you have to explain such allegations, if you still stuck to your own side of the story, to everyone here, including the headmaster."
"Then what about what you said earlier?" Guo didn't let that elder fall into the trap William devised for him as he added, "you said you killed them, how co? A re porter killing bronze grade spirit masters? A full group of them? If so, then I can say I'm the strongest spirit master in the world!"
William knew that hideous spirit master was trying to hit him at his weak spot, but he didn't show any rage on his face. Instead, a warm smile appeared there.
"Who said I'm not a spirit master?"
