"You did your homework," William met her doubtful gazes with a short laugh, "that's where we are going indeed. And we are going to do a mission related to the dark spirit masters, but it's not that hard actually."
No one believed his words. After all, the reputation and infamy the dark spirit masters had was like true terror in this world.
"We are going to set out right away," William paused before adding, "during this, we will meet lots of enemies. Be it monsters, other academies' disciples, or even dark spirit masters… I don't care about any of that. No matter who is going to stand in our way, we have a single answer for them… Death!"
His words didn't manage to stir up their will or raise morale. The dark shadow of facing the dark spirit masters was much heavier than the effect of his words.
"As for the journey, I don't want you to just walk without doing anything. So… I'll pass over copies of a few arrays. Study and memorise them by heart, as these will determine everything later on."
Not all of them realised what he implied, but the five friends of his knew. The kids who came from the Long clan who were with him back at the forging grounds of their clan, realised that William was up to something big this time as well.
William felt lucky that he spent his last night making enough copies for his team. He estimated that at most twenty-five disciples would show up and join his team, and much less than that would pass his test.
However just to be sure he'd not miss anything, he took his time and made up to fifty copies of each array.
"Here, distribute those, one copy per person," he took many scrolls, handed them over. There were five different arrays here, and each helped in doing something during the upcoming fight against dark spirit masters.
"This…"
"What the heck is wrong with this array?"
"Can such an array even work?"
"Damn! Just the number of materials needed is scary!"
Everyone got the scrolls, and once they did, they started to examine them in a hurry. The first impressions they got were shock, disbelief, and doubt.
The arrays William handed over were built on concepts that weren't known in the tiny world. So, it was expected that none grasped the value and effects behind any, even failed to understand how they worked.
"William… We need lots of materials for each array… And…" Berry found these arrays quite special and weird, but this problem glared up among anything else.
"Don't worry about that," William waved his hand, interrupting her, "I got everything arranged beforehand. That reminds me… What grade of weapons and gears do you all use?"
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ He already bought enough to arm up thirty team members. The total number of his team grew beyond what he initially prepared for. But he hoped few would have good grade weapons and gears, saving a few pieces to others.
"I don't need any weapons or gears," Sara got what he implied, and linked the hidden dots between his words. She realised William spent his time in making lots of preparations, making him look like a very capable team leader without doubt.
"I also don't need any," Lang, Peter, and Berry spoke up one by one. They got good gears and weapons and didn't need any help from William.
"I got all bronze grade gears and a silver grade sword."
"All my gears are bronze grade, like my weapon as well."
"Thanks, but I got good gears and weapons that I got used to."
One by one, the five silver spirit masters spoke up. They got all bronze grade weapons and gears, with a few pieces of silver grade weapons and gears occasionally mentioned.
"Cool," Seeing this, William knew he had only twenty-eight team members to arm up. He didn't need to hear the responses from the bronze and white grade disciples, but he still listened.
"Not bad," unlike what he expected, close to half of the bronze spirit masters here got pieces of bronze gears and few bronze weapons, the rest of their equipment were all white grade ones. The white spirit masters got all white grade weapons and gears as expected.
Considering all, William knew he didn't need to arm up all of the twenty-eight team members as well. Which was great news. If he counted everything, then at most he'd need gears and weapons to fully arm up twenty kids at most.
William didn't intend to just use the weapons and gears he bought. These were all decent silver grade ones. And if he wanted to arm everyone up with them, they wouldn't suffice.
William got another plan in mind, one that included using part of the loot he gathered from the dead Golden Sky disciple's ring, and another part that included the spirit masters here.
"Here is what we are going to do," and when everyone expected him to deal with the white grade spirit masters first, William focused his attention over the silver grade spirit masters.
Everyone here already got hints about what William was going to do. He mentioned that he made enough preparations before regarding materials. And so, it was safe to assume that he already secured a few gears and weapons for the team.
Anyone would think that William secured mostly bronze grade pieces, enough to arm up a few team members. But none expected what he was going to say next.
"I got silver grade weapons and gears, enough to arm up all five of you," William paused, while not only the five he was speaking to, but everyone looked up at him in a fright.
"But… These gears aren't that cheap or for free. As temporary members of the team, you will get one silver piece on the price of five bronze pieces. And that deal only applies until the end of this mission. If you fail to join the final roster of the team, then you'll return these gears and get your bronze gears back."
"This…"
