Chapter 16: Joining a Guild.

The receptionist smiled at the enthusiastic silver-haired boy, she pointed to the reception desk and asked Felix to follow her.

"How about we go there and fill out your application form."

Saying that she went to her desk and sat on the chair. Felix naturally followed her and stood in front of the wooden desk before Noah came beside him.

"Hey Felix, good luck there. Now that we have completed our mission and it's already getting dark outside, we'll be going home. We'll see you tomorrow.

"Thank you, Noah. Be careful on your way home and also, see you tomorrow."

Felix smiled as he waved at Noah and the others who were leaving the guild. They too wished him luck and said their farewell and left the hall.

Now it was only him with the receptionist in the guild's hall. He looked at the blonde mature woman and felt that she looked like a celebrity starring in many movies.

Her serious face when she was handling her work and the swift movement of her body as she did her job made Felix stare blankly at her.

"Seen enough?"

She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the stupefied crimson eyes at her abrupt question.

"O-Oh sorry, I just...uh was not. I mean..."

Miss Elsa giggled at his antics and raised her hand pointing her finger at him in a cute manner as she reprimanded him.

"Boy, it's rude to not compliment a lady after you've taken a good look at her."

Felix almost choked at her advice as he blushingly scratched his head and replied.

"Really? Then, Miss Elsa, you're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Is that fine?"

She raised her brows at the boy who said that matter-of-factly without any lie or hidden intentions. Thinking that this boy was honest and not like the others, she nodded inside her head as she smiled sweetly at him.

"Thank you, Felix. It makes me happy that you wholeheartedly complimented me."

Elsa thanked him as she held a pen and started writing something on a form paper.

"Okay, so we'll start with your name and age. Is your name only Felix or do you have a surname? Also, do you have any guardians that can vouch for you?"

Felix did not have to think much as he honestly replied.

"Yes. I am an orphan so my name is only Felix. As for my age, it's...14."

"Whoosh!"

Right after signing it, the contract started floating up and dispersed into tiny black particles before going inside a black orb on the desk and a small part of it touched his hand.

Felix anxiously looked at his hand after witnessing the magical scene. His hand appeared to be fine but there was a symbol of an evil eye on the back of his palm glowing a bit red eerily.

"W-What was that? Is that anything dangerous?"

He couldn't help but ask Miss Elsa who looked amused at his reaction as she intently looked at him, slightly biting her lips.

'This boy really is different, how can he act so cute even when he is just shouting.'

She looked at the boy who was rubbing his hand trying to remove the symbol not knowing that he was just acting cute to impress her.

"It's alright, Felix. That is the mark of recognition that members of the guild get after joining the guild. It won't affect you in any way and it will go away after some time not to appear again."

"Also, take this card. It is used when going inside and outside the Guild Building. You can also use it as an identity card in the City if you do not have any other."

Felix sighed in relief knowing it won't have any weird effect on him.

He received the card and held it in his hand. It was white in color with the same symbol of the evil eye on one side and his identity details on the other side.

"Growl"

Hearing the sound from his stomach, he put his hand on his tummy and requested the receptionist.

"Miss Elsa, do you have anything to eat? I don't think I can handle my hunger anymore."

She smiled and got up from the desk, leading him toward the stairs.

"Let's go. I'll lead you around the place and show you your room as well as the dining hall and other facilities."

As Felix followed her to the stairs, she suddenly stopped on the first step and turned around grinning at him.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you this..."

He raised his head and stared at her as she looked breathtakingly beautiful at that angle as the golden rays of the chandelier shined on her white and glossy skin.

The blood-red carpet on the black stairs in her background gave her curvy body a slightly evil disposition. She raised her red lips at the corners as she gave a grin that could make babies stop crying in fear, and said.

"Welcome to the Twilight Chaos Guild!"
