Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

So, it was expected to see them exchange many of their bronze gears and replace them with other bronze gears from the loot William got from others.

William didn't scan the gears he received from others, so he took a large batch, letting these bronze members search and select what was best for them.

After doing this, and after half an hour, the white grade kids remained.

They were five, and they looked towards the empty ground, void of any silver pieces left, feeling much regret that they weren't stronger.

"As for you…"

*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*

William suddenly took ten silver pieces out of his ring, giving another shock to everyone here, "each will get two silver gears from these. Then select all the bronze gears you wanted. Leave behind white gears, and the rest of the price will be paid later on from the mission's loot."

"..."

Everyone, even Sara, Berry, and others, couldn't help but suck in cold air of breath when they heard what William just said.

It was known in the world that gears and potions were just an outside help. Many even didn't like using them. And that was for many good reasons.

One of which was the timing of acquiring the suitable gears and potions. For example, not a single dude here got a higher-grade gear or weapon than his spirit master rank.

The best grade equipment any silver spirit master here got was silver. The same went for bronze and white spirit masters, the same even applied to the gold and dark gold spirit masters.

Having a good grade of weapon or gear was something hard to achieve for anyone, and we were speaking here about getting gears at the same rank as the spirit master.

That made the role gears played in the life of any spirit master be quite limited. However, seeing those five white spirit masters getting armed up with bronze gears, even having two silver gears, made everyone realise how lucky these kids were!

They got to use gears and weapons; one grade at least higher than their ranks. What did that imply? Just recalling how William fought against two gold grade spirit masters before, while he was at bronze rank, and winning the fight thanks to his gold grade sword and silver grade knives was enough evidence on how big this chance was.

If spirit masters got higher grade gears than their ranks, then they'd get to taste the true might of gears. These gears would enable them to fight higher ranked enemies, be it monsters or spirit masters, and even win!

Like this, they wouldn't consider gears as useless external aid anymore, but something crucial to their survival.

The same also applied, to a lesser extent, to the bronze spirit masters who got their hands over silver grade gears. Despite only getting three pieces each, having one was entirely life changing for them.

That made those five silver grade spirit masters feel a little regretful of their luck. They thought they got it better when they got armed up entirely with good silver grade weapons and gears.

However, that wasn't something that looked that great anymore. Comparing their situation with those weaker spirit masters, they felt they got the short end of the stick.

They looked in envy especially towards the five white grade kids who got the best out of this.

These thoughts were slightly different in the minds of the five vice leaders of the team. Sara thought about how scary such a line up was!

Thirty-eight team members were having bronze gears and weapons as the worst grade pieces they wore, with many silver grade pieces as well… Without even asking about what level of gears William wore, this team was quite scary!

She knew more than others about teams in the academy. There were many teams with gold grade members, with many gears even up to gold grade ones.

However, she didn't compare the overall amount of equipment or their grade with others. Instead, she compared the percentage of the gears' quality and grade over the total number of the team.

Up to her knowledge, no other team she heard about in the academy or outside got such an extravagant line up! And that was just the starting point of the team.

'I want to see what will happen after doing ten missions, I want to see what this team will look like by this time…' she joined the team just on the premise of William helping her in solving the mystery of her mother's scroll.

But right now, she got slightly interested in following the team to see how far it would reach.

Berry thought differently. She and Lang had slightly the same line of thoughts. After all, most of the team was formed of their clan's young generation spirit masters. And seeing all these spirit masters getting such gears made the two grin in pride and happiness.

Without the need to even think about it, betting on joining and supporting William brought back benefits to the disciples from their clan beyond anyone's wildest imaginations and hopes.

Peter thought the same, yet he felt little regret that he didn't work harder to convince more of his clan's disciples to join. Seeing the clear disparity between the disciples of his clan and Long clan's made him inwardly and bitterly sigh.

John was the only one thinking about something else. He was deeply touched by William's actions, care, and generosity here. And that made him link the dots, think beyond what others thought, and consider William as the long-awaited Messiah for the grand community of commoners!

After all, it was known that William jumped from a porter to a bronze spirit master rank in a few days. And that made John mistake William's actions towards him and other weak and common spirit masters as proof for his hidden intentions to support them and others like them.
