Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

A large area situated in the central part of the city, with a huge white castle with symbols and banners of the Ryeagon Family in the middle, and several other facilities like stables, a beautiful garden etc.

The fleet of members from the Twilight Chaos guild entered the castle compound through the southern gates of the walls.

The four boys, Felix and his teammates watched their surroundings in wonder as the place looked so beautiful, clean and majestic.

There were tall pointed towers at many corners of the compound, with strictly standing guards throughout the path who wore dark blue-coloured armour on them.

The fleet advanced through the path guided by the butlers who had come to attend to them.

They continued on the long road inside the compound before arriving at an enormous field where they could see a large crowd gathered there.

The flags of an evil eye symbol on a moon that they were raising, which represented the Twilight Chaos guild, was seen by the crowd as a person announced loudly.

"The Twilight Chaos Guild has arrived!!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the new arrivals, their expressions that of curiosity and palpation to see the mysterious guild that was now the talk of the town.

Felix stared at the many flags and banners that were raised among the crowd of people, deducting them to be the other guilds that had already arrived.

The fleet stopped when they reached a place given to station for their guild, as Dante the guild leader walked out of his carriage.

He raised his head proudly and cast a sharper gaze on his surroundings, giving special attention to the ones that he knew would cause trouble to his guild.

The enemy guilds in the crowd had also noticed them, almost as if they were waiting for them to arrive.

While the other guilds had come here to spectate, and some others with their own motives too.

From the crowd of thousands of people, he could say that around twenty of the guilds from Edenmont City were present here.

\'So you\'re all just going to enjoy the show even when they\'ve shown their true faces?\', Dante thought as he scoffed.

A small group of people from the crowd made their way towards his guild, a face among them which made him smile friendly.

"Hey there Rhodes, how was our grand entrance?", he asked as he stepped ahead to meet with his old buddy.

The Leader of the Mystic Society Guild, Rhodes Astralyn, who studied together with Dante at the same academy sighed as he shook his head.

"You\'re still as lively as ever, Dante. Makes me wonder how you even manage your guild."

Rhodes was a tall man with light blonde hair, he had a sharp nose with emerald eyes on his cleanly shaved face.

Wearing a brown suit with a cape fluttering behind on his shoulders, he looked at his only allies that would take part in today\'s war.

He could see from the eyes of the members of the Twilight Chaos guild that they were determined and ready to face this war, unlike a few from his guild who were still hesitant.

Dante shrugged at the man as he pointed at his subordinates.

"You know me. My capable men do not need my instructions to carry out their duties. So I\'m pretty much jobless these few days.", he chuckled but then turned serious all of a sudden.

"By the way...are they still not here?", there was a tone of disgust in his voice which he didn\'t hide in front of his friend.

Rhodes too twisted his face, before glancing at the crowd behind where people were starting to get restless.

"They\'re taking their time. Most likely wanting the people to start a fight here so they can intervene and then show their power."

Dante and Rhodes talked amongst themselves, their voices turning lower as the rest of the guild members started organising themselves orderly under the executives.

Felix was looking around the place curiously, as this was the first time he had come across the other guilds, not considering that time at the abandoned factory.

Most of the guilds from Edenmont City were present here, their symbolic flags giving him an idea of who they were.

\'Hmm those must be Mad Wolves Guild, and that one should be Grey Talons Guild...oh and what\'s that red sun-like symbol? Crimson Dawn Guild maybe?\'

As he eyed the flags and the people around them, he looked at the group that had walked towards their guild.

\'Hmm wait....I\'ve seen that girl...\'

Behind the man talking with their guild leader, a girl with waist-length purple hair stood quietly as she looked at them.

Felix narrowed his eyes trying to remember and then finally recalled where he had seen her.

\'Isn\'t that the girl who punched me outside that clothing shop?\', he grimaced when he remembered unconsciously calling her \'beautiful\', only for him to get a hit.

Shaking his head, he thought that she wasn\'t the approachable type but her appearance was sure very attractive.

\'I\'ve never seen anyone like her in my life...\'

He could start singing praises of her beauty if given the chance, but the situation was a bit too serious for him to do that.

"Hey, look at that girl.", Eric\'s sudden voice interrupted his thoughts as he continued in a poetic tone as if the situation wasn\'t that serious.

"She\'s like an angel descended from the heavens, to save us humans from mindless fights. Oh, what a creation, it makes me feel that living is such a bliss."

His words cringed the hell out of the people around him, but everyone was more surprised that the quiet Eric had spoken such lines.

Felix twitched his lips as he recalled seeing Eric reading romance books in the dining hall.

\'Who knew this guy was a simp? Today really is an eventful day...\'

He didn\'t say anything to the boy, but Steve on the other hand wasn\'t feeling the same way.

"What the hell dude?! Are you really the Eric that I know? What happened to our fireball boy? Are you falling in love or something!?"

The guildmates around chuckled at his words, making Eric blush as he harrumphed.

"What do you know, Steve? You\'re just a kid. You won\'t understand things like these, only adults can."

Steve seemed to have been irked by that for some reason, as he folded his sleeves and made his way to the girl.

"You look down on me? I\'ll tell her that you like her then."

Eric widened his eyes in panic, quickly chasing after Steve to not let things go out of hand.

Felix raised a brow at the scene, eager to see how this would transpire.

Just when Steve had cooked up a pretty good idea, according to him that is, and was about to begin, Roven grabbed onto his hand to stop him and sighed.

"Come on now, when will you guys stop this? Can you never be a bit serious in your life? Also, why are you just spectating, Felix? You should be stopping these idiots."

Steve was about to say something but the look on Roven\'s face made him pause, while Eric patted his chest in relief.

"You can\'t blame me, Roven. I\'ve no experience with women. These two are older than me, so I thought they knew what they were doing.", Felix shrugged with a helpless smile.

Roven scoffed as if he had heard something unbelievable and pointed at the two troublemakers.

"You mean these two?", he looked at Steve and Eric with an irritated wide-eyed stare, "I know them very well, and I can tell you that they never know what they\'re doing."

He turned to Felix and continued.

"So, whenever you see them doing something, thinking that they know what they\'re doing. Please just stop them."

"Because that\'s when they cause trouble.", Roven had this disappointed look in his eyes as Steve and Eric looked away towards the sky whistling.

Felix honestly didn\'t know what to say as he nodded speechlessly.

"Umm I got it, Roven. I\'ll do as you say next time."

Roven had a tired face as he walked away muttering under his breath.

"Sigh...I just hope there\'s not a next time."

The guildmates watching them dispersed to do their work, a bit sad that they didn\'t get to see any drama.

Felix patted Steve and Eric on their shoulders with a serious look.

"Let\'s make trouble some other time, okay? Look over there. Everyone\'s watching us.", he pointed at the crowd of other guilds.

They could see their enemies consisting of the six guilds, who were standing grouped together, all of whom had their eyes turned towards them.

The people of the Mystic Society Guild were also moving towards them, making the two sides stay a little away from each other.

The rest of the neutral guilds stood on the left side as these two groups faced each other in the middle of the large field.

There was a stark difference in numbers if one looked at both the groups, but the smaller group didn\'t seem to back down as they stood with their heads up high.

"Oh hell man, is this it? Are we going to fight now?", Steve gripped his sword as his face turned reddish in excitement.

Roven shook his head as he gestured to the right side where another group of people were making their way slowly and calmly.

"It hasn\'t started yet."

Everyone in the crowd noticed the people wearing armor and uniforms, following behind a man with an imposing figure.

"Sir Theodore, the Duke is here! The Ryeagon Family has made their presence!", announced a man loudly as the crowd turned serious.

Dante and Rhodes looked at the Duke with a sharp gaze in their eyes, as they were one of the few who knew the real nature of this man.

The Duke Theodore Ryeagon of Edenmont City was a buff man with brown hair and a thick beard, he had a large smile on his face as he walked over with his hands behind his back.

A few of his family members stood behind him, with a large number of escorts and guards that dispersed throughout the field.

Theodore led his people and stood on the right side of the field, facing the two groups who would be competing against each other.

"Greetings, brave citizens of the Edenmont City and from the respective guilds. Today, I, Theodore Ryeagon will announce to you the start of the guild wars between these two groups."

Silence took over the place as everyone turned their heads to look at the Duke.

Theodore smiled with a confident pose, an undercurrent of emotions going through his deep eyes as he glanced at the crowd.
