Pride disciples were those who had their parents died serving the academy or the kingdom. Their luck was bad that they got no other relatives around, making them orphans.
As a payback for what their parents did for the academy and kingdom, the academy accepted them as disciples and nourished them to grow and be strong spirit masters.
This might seem fair. But in such a harsh community of spirit masters here, they got ill treated and looked down upon.
In the eyes of arrogant disciples like Guanin and his likes, Pride disciples were just spirit masters without any backings. They were considered the second lowest spirit masters in the world, even coming lower than those who hailed from weak and poor families and clans.
Only porters and normal people came lower than them, and the three were looked down upon as trash in this world.
