Chapter 24: Rest and Plans.
After running inside the dining hall and having a full meal, Felix decided to return to his room.
"Sigh...I'm dead tired with a full stomach."
Opening the door with the key, he entered his room and jumped onto the bed.
"All I need is a quick nap right now...."
He closed his eyes and rested his overused body that was exhausted from running and slashing his knife around. His deep snores were the only thing left in the room.

"Hey Miss Elsa, do you know where Felix is?"
Called out a cheerful voice at the reception desk. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
Elsa raised her head above and saw Noah and his friends standing in front of her.
"Oh Noah, hello there. About Felix, he just completed his mission and must be resting in his room."
"What! Has he already completed his mission? But that's too fast, we were just about to ask him if he could join our group and complete a mission together."
Noah exclaimed, as he couldn't believe that thin and weak boy could do a mission on his own, that too this quick.
Shaya and the others were also surprised at hearing that.
What they didn't know was that he had already completed the mission only in one hour and had to spend the other two hours finding the way back to the guild, almost getting himself caught.
"Well, that's too bad then. If you guys want, you can go to his room and look for him directly."
"Oka-"
"No, Miss Elsa. I don't think we should disturb him now that he has just completed his mission."
Shaya interrupted Noah who was going to agree with the receptionist's plan.
The others also nodded as completing a mission would be quite tiring, and they too would need rest and sleep as they were still young and could not afford to remain working.

The culprit behind all this twitched.
Felix woke up finding the evening sunrays falling on his face from the slightly opened curtains.
"Haa...that was a nice sleep."
Getting up from the bed, he refreshed his body in the washroom. Wearing his clothes and also putting the knife hidden behind him, he walked out of the room.
'I got lost two times today. So, I must start learning the way around the city.'
This time, he wanted to make sure that he learns what streets he'll be walking on and where to go from there.
Coming down the stairs, he walked to the reception but stopped himself as a few guys were discussing something with Miss Elsa.
Waiting for them to go, he sat on one of the sofas and thought about the incident that happened earlier.
'I forgot as I was hungry at that time, but should I inform Miss Elsa about what happened today?'
He frowned as that idea did not seem to be good. If he had only seen the people from the tent and not caused such a mess, then it would have been fine telling the guild.
But he not only made a lot of trouble but also successfully escaped from them which would make him a bit suspicious in their eyes for the small and weak kid he was.
'And then, what will I say if they found the mess that I created? So, I think it's out of the question to talk about it.'
It would look very suspicious if they found out that he escaped from them and his skills would be brought out to the light.
"Hey, look at who is here!"
A playful voice suddenly sounded breaking him out of thoughts as someone came behind him and shouted out.
Felix turned behind to look at the green haired boy, who was pointing at him and grinning while elbowing his angry friend.
"You..."
Felix knew there was some trouble knocking at his door at the moment.
