Chapter 13: The Guild.

"The name of Our Guild is 'Twilight Chaos'!"

Felix gulped as he felt an invisible pressure descend upon him when he heard the name of their guild.

"Twilight Chaos...Twilight Chaos...Wow, that sounds so badass.", he spoke to himself as the name felt so cool.

"B-Bad ass? Eeww, w-why would you say that.", the shy Betty exclaimed as she held her hands together while looking at Felix with disgust.

Even Kevin and Thomas were looking at him with sickening looks.

"No! No! What I was saying was-"

Felix hurriedly shook his hands as he tried to correct the misunderstanding, but Noah patted him on his shoulder interrupting him.

"Felix, it's not good manners if you don't clean your as-"

Before he could add fire to the already messed up misunderstanding, Felix closed his mouth and glared at him with his crimson eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to say that. What I meant was, your guild has a nice name and it sounds really awesome."

He said correcting their misunderstanding and everyone nodded as they understood what he meant. Shaya looked at Felix as she said to everyone.

"Well, I think we should head back. We have yet to submit today's mission"

Noah finally remembered that they had to submit the mission back to the guild, and before Shaya could continue he told Felix.

"Let's go we'll take you the guild. And there you can apply to become an unofficial member."

Shaya grumbled at always annoying Noah and shook her head as he would never change his habit of interrupting others when talking.

Not wasting any time Noah took the lead and led everyone out of the alley and started walking toward the center of the city. Felix stood out in the crowd as he only wore a piece of rag, but people did not focus too much on him as it was not a rare sight for them in such a large city.

With pointed corners at the walls of every floor, it had a menacing aura that kept pedestrians from coming near it. Even the sky above it felt a bit dark as the building towered above many buildings around the surroundings which were only about two or three floors tall.

"*Gulp*, Guys are you sure we're at the right place?"

Felix couldn't help but ask them as he looked at the building which gave him a chill in his spine. His subconscious mind did not want him to enter that building making it dangerous and terrifying to even think about the appearance of the building.

"Of course, we're at the right place. Don't mind the scary feeling, it's not that bad when you enter it."

Noah smiled at the boy who acted just like them when they first entered the guild. The others were also grinning as they remembered their first time here.

"I don't think I can go th-"

He tried refusing but Noah and Shaya held his arms and pulled him while mischievously smirking at his nervous expression.

The other three shrugged at their behavior. Thomas adjusted his glasses acting like a senior and spoke to Kevin and Betty.

"I wonder how the face of this boy changes when he understands the truth of this dark world and comes to know the secrets held within."

Kevin ignored his chunibyuu friend as he shook his head and followed the others with Betty, leaving him behind.

"W-Wait guys...It was necessary for me to act like that.."

Thomas cried as he hurriedly followed them as they all walked into the gates of the guild that automatically opened welcoming them in.

The gate then closed by itself as the kids went inside the building which seemed to grow darker and darker with the setting sun.

The eerie gothic structure stood tall in the dying light, an amalgamation of stone and shadow that seemed to breathe a life of its own.

Bathed in the final vestiges of daylight, the building took on an even more sinister aspect, an embodiment of the macabre that sent shivers down the spines of those who dared to gaze upon it.

And this is where Felix came into contact with one of the many forces that governed and ruled the world, the Guilds.
