Black Chains didn't say anything in response to the accusation of being a bad master. Instead of defending himself, he said to Sword Maestro, "What do you think about this idiot's ranting?"
Sword Maestro answered without hesitation, "He is mistaken."
This made Black Chains smile as he said, "Then tell him so. Don't just watch as your master is slandered. Speak up to defend your master."
Sword Maestro had no choice, so he said angrily to Martial Will, "If you don't know what you're talking about, you should keep quiet. No one will think you're foolish if you don't talk. In fact, you will come off as someone smart when you don't open your mouth to spill drivel."
But Martial Will said in disdain, "Your advice doesn't count for much if you're being schooled by a junior. Maybe if you weren't being humiliated so badly, I would take you seriously and mind my business."
