Chapter 79 The Pride Disciple

He got golden hair, like he stole a sun and dyed his hair with its rays.

His eyes were black but got such lustre that was golden in colour. Aside from this, his face looked very normal, just like any common person one would meet on the street and forget about their identities.

William frowned. He never expected to meet someone William would never recognise his family or clan in the academy.

"I was a porter but got officially accepted into the academy just recently."

"When is this recently exactly?" This disciple seemed to not believe William's words, "I just checked the list of our new disciples this morning, and I never heard of such a person like you."

"Our young master was appointed by the headmaster himself just a few days ago!" and at this point, Tina couldn't help herself but speak in such a funny loud childish tone.

She wanted to act arrogant, learning from what William instructed her before to do. But that didn't come as she wanted and ended up looking cute as any child.

Yet in front of such cuteness, that disciple didn't even smile. In fact, his face frowned a bit. "Did you join the academy in the hands of the headmaster himself? First year then… A fresh man who is mistakenly wearing the wrong set of clothes… Sigh! Why do I have to deal with such idiots all the time? Is it karma?"

And just like a mad man, this disciple started to speak to himself, in such a loud tone, enough for the three in front of him to hear what he said.

William didn't know if he should laugh or cry. His luck made him end up with such a weirdo.

As for the other two girls, they just felt how weird this disciple was. Even Tina refrained from speaking, feeling a little unsettled being close to this disciple.

She moved closer to her sister, holding up her sister's clothes in the form of protection.

"I'm not in the first year, I'm in the second," William started correcting the mistake made by this disciple, "I'm William. nice to meet you."

"Thanks, but I'd prefer not to befriend you… Just wait! You said you are in year two? How come…?!!! Is this some sort of a joke? Oliver, get your ass down here right now! This prank isn't funny at all! Stop doing such silly jokes or else…"

Just as the previous act of his didn't make him look weirder enough, he started to look around while shouting at the air.

"Calm down senior, I'm really in my second year."

"Prove it!" this disciple suddenly turned all serious, "I hate it more when you go deeper into a joke! I already blew your cover up!"

"I'm not joking, I'm a second year disciple."

"Then prove it and you shall pass!"

"It's not fair doing it like this," William paused for a few seconds before his eyes flashed with some sort of an idea, "why don't we do it this way? I prove that I'm in my second year, and you'll accompany us towards the Long clan residence."

"Long clan… Are you out of your mind? No outsider is allowed to get there without an invitation!" that disciple shouted in such distress the moment he heard what William said.

And the latter just looked at this disciple in such a helpless way. If not for being at four or fifth year, William would have turned around and looked for another disciple to ask for help.

William never went to the Long clan residence before. So, he had to ask the help of others if he wanted to go there.

But dealing with such an eccentric dude made William unwary and unsure of his response if he ever turned around and looked for another disciple to help.

"I got an invitation already."

"You… You are going too far with your act, bravo," the disciple clapped as if this was a great performance, "alright then. But don't you see this is also unfair for me? What if you turned out to be a liar? What will I get in return?"

"Whatever you ask, I'll afford," William acted in such a way as he knew he wasn't lying. In other times, he would rather think thrice before saying such big words.

"Cool, then if you turned out to be a liar, you'll give me this chick with the mask to serve me forever."

"Keep dreaming," William had to hold the arm of Lina before she'd do something the three of them would regret later on.

In William's eyes, this dude was strong enough to kill the three without blinking! Without using his Holy Sword technique, they all would be in danger.

But that wasn't what made William stop Lina. They were still inside the academy walls. And fighting there was prohibited by law.

This was a high grade spirit master, enough to be considered a master for the early years and might be a master in his class or something.

"It's either that or none!" Yet that disciple seemed to not be planning to back off. And that got on William's stressed out nerves.

"I accept," William nodded before fiercely adding in a cold tone, "but if I won, you'll have to do the same."

"What do you mean?"

"You will serve me… Forever," and as that dude said, William used his words against him.

Once William said it, the face of that disciple suddenly changed.

"What? Dare to ask for something that you are afraid to do?" Lina aggressively said, feeling satisfied with William's words and their effect on that rude disciple.

After all that disciple just asked for her to be with him forever.

"It's not that… But…" in response to Lina's aggressive tone, that disciple couldn't help but try to defend himself. However, he seemed to not be able to do so.

"Is there anything wrong, senior?" Unlike Lina, William felt something was off here, "if it's ok then let's drop everything and let us pass."

This all started because William wanted the help from this disciple. But seeing how things ended up, and how this disciple weirdly acted before, William didn't want to stick around him any longer.

William wanted to leave sooner than later. As for the direction towards the Long clan, he would ask anyone else about that.

"It's… I just can't promise you that as I'm a Pride disciple of the academy."

"Pride disciple?" William muttered before he finally got what was going on here.
