The next day.
Twilight Chaos Guid Building.
1st Floor, Room number 132.
Felix stood in front of the mirror after taking a fresh morning bath.
He was naked, with only a black earring attached to his left ear.
As he touched it with his fingers, he muttered confusingly.
"I still can't figure out where this came from...."
The earring had mysteriously appeared on his ear after he had woken up from his unconscious state, the day he went on a mission with Noah and the kids.
Except for them, he didn't think anyone else knew where the earring came from.
But the kids were prohibited by their families from coming to the guild anymore due to the tense situation of the guild wars, so he couldn't ask them about it.
"Even the skill flashback doesn't work on it, as if the earring didn't have any past.", Felix sighed and turned to look at his reflection.
"Well, let's forget about it. Right now, there's more important things to handle."
Felix stopped admiring his handsome face and shredded body, and opened the wardrobe filled with a bunch of clothes and bags.
"A new outfit, huh? I should look the best when going to war.", he smirked and started searching for the best combination of a battle outfit.
After ten minutes, he stood back in front of the mirror, with his sword on his waist and all the other equipment in a little shoulder strap bag.
Felix wore a dark red battle dress with golden linings, which tightly covered his entire body except for his head, hands, and feets.
A black hooded cloak clung onto his body atop that, reaching till his ankles.
As he moved around in his new outfit, he nodded at its flexibility and comfort.
"This looks badass. I hope my opponents won't surrender just at the sight at me.....ugh that was a bit too much, I guess..."
Scratching his cheek, Felix made sure he didn't leave anything behind and walked out of his room.
In the corridor, people rushed here and there as it was already 8:30 am.
There was only half an hour left before they left for the guild wars.
Felix nodded at a few people on the way and knocked on Steve's door.
"Hey, open up. Let's go have breakfast."
There wasn't a response, so he knocked a few more times again, but still the door didn't open.
A fellow guildmate walking about saw him and informed.
"Oh, if you're looking for Steve, then he's already at the dining hall.", the man's eyes lit up as he continued.
"Wait, you're his friend, right?"
Felix stopped knocking and nodded.
"Yeah, we're friends and also teammates."
The man clapped his hands and started pulling Felix towards the dining hall.
"That's great. We can't waste time anymore. Only you can stop that stupid troublemaker!"
Felix raised his brows, wondering what kind of mess Steve was doing.
When the man pulled him all the way inside the dining hall, Felix saw a crowd surrounding a table, but he couldn't see what was happening there.
"Come on, you must stop that insane idiot."
The man beckoned him as he made a way amidst the crowd.
When Felix finally reached beside the table, he saw Steve stuffing food in his mouth even though his stomach was enlarged like a balloon.
Some people cheered at him, while some were telling him to stop.
But the boy acted as if he was on an important mission and continued eating more and more.
"Wh...What the hell is he doing?", Felix asked speechlessly to the man.
The man shrugged helplessly as he replied.
"I don't really know. He said he was preparing for the guild wars and wanted to be in his fittest form."
"Does that mean we should let fate decide things for us? For us to be the slaves of destiny and wait for our end?!!", he asked loudly.
Everyone took a gulp, feeling their hearts thumping faster as their faces flushed in adrenaline.
"NO! THAT'S WRONG!!", Dante shouted himself.
As his eyes roamed the hall, he clenched his fists and said.
"We fight! We resist! And the most important....We never give up."
Spreading his arms towards everyone, he turned serious.
"And today.....WE'LL WIN!"
As if a fire lighting up the entire forest, the guild members in the main hall roared.
"WE FIGHT! WE WIN!!"
"WE FIGHT! WE WINN!!"
"WE WIN!! WE WIN!!"
Dante gave a big smile, walking into the middle of the crowd along with his group as the people gave them way.
Felix and his teammates looked at each other, their faces turning confident and determined as they smiled in excitement.
The guild leader, Dante Grimsby, walked towards the main door and slowly opened both of them as the cheers of the crowd reached outside, gaining the public's attention.
People on the streets glanced at their guild's compound, widening their eyes in shock when they saw a battle ready crowd of people shouting slogans of victory.
Dante and his group boarded a carriage, leading the crowd of guild members, some of whom boarded several carriages, too.
But most of them remained on foot, as they didn't want to relax on the way.
Felix and Steve, who got their tummies full of food a few minutes ago, found it difficult to walk and keep up with the crowd.
"Shit! Why didn't I think of this? It's all your fault Steve...", Felix complained as he held his stomach and struggled to walk.
Steve was having it worse as he held his back and leaned on an angry Eric, who regretted being in the same team as these guys.
"Damn it, who knew free food would give us so much trouble.", Steve muttured in pain.
Eric harrumphed, glancing at the two with disdain and mocked.
"Don't you guys know? There's nothing free in this world. Everything costs something. And your stupidity may cost you your lives."
Felix patted Steve's shoulder and shook his head, stopping the boy from opening his mouth to start bickering.
"Leave him be, he's not wrong. By the way guys, where did Roven go?", he asked in confusion as he glanced around.
Steve and Eric looked around too, but couldn't find their team leader.
"Hmm? I'm sure he was with us when we left the guild building though...", Eric muttured as they stepped out onto the streets where the public were looking at them in awe and respect.
"Neighh!!"
Two horses strutted over from behind, pulling along a carriage that the three remembered from their previous mission.
Roven reined the carriage, sitting at the front as he smiled at their surprised faces.
"Hop on, guys. Our ride is here."
Without wasting a second, Steve and Felix jumped onto the carriage, patting Roven's shoulder as they gave him a thumbs up and went to the back.
"You're a life saver.", Felix thanked.
"If there ever was an election for something, I would vote for you.", Steve too....thanked.
Eric sighed in relief as he rubbed his sore arms from holding Steve, and jumped onto the carriage too, taking a seat beside Steve.
Other guild members around them looked at the carriage and asked for a seat before Roven kindly nodded and picked them all up till the carriage got filled.
"Let's get going, to the guild wars!!"
Steve cheered from the back, and Roven moved forward the carriage, leading it along the crowd.
With their destination to the Duke's Castle in the centre of the Edenmont City, where the war among eight guilds and many things of the unknown would take place.
