"Humph, big empty words coming from a mere liar and traitor."
And just as William said this, another voice came, one he instantly recognised.
"Guanin… What brought you here?" William stopped as his path was blocked by a group of five, led by none other than Guanin.
"I heard such a funny story, about a weak and powerless porter who suddenly turned into a strong spirit master of bronze grade. Is it true?"
"What does this have to do with you?" William didn't answer him, as he simply stood in his place motionless, putting such an expression of ridicule on his face, while crossing his arms in a challenge.
He was in a bad mood already from what he suffered at the hands of the headmaster. And just when he was trying to get over this, Guanin came to act as a punching bag for his frustration.
If he had to fear Guanin before, then all this changed. The two of them were already in the same class, spirit masters of bronze grade.
