Chapter 577 [577] War between the guilds.

Chapter 577 [577] War between the guilds.

I was a bit taken aback, to be honest. I had expected a coalition of a few guilds to gang up on Twilight... But all of them?

That was unexpected... Really unexpected. If my knowledge is correct, our relations with all the other top 10 guilds aren't so bad.

The 4th and 5th rank guilds have always been eager to take our spot... They go by the names of the Black Panther and Genesis, respectively... But what about the rest? We have some sort of sour relationship with the Phoenix guild, which is the eighth ranked guild...but with the rest of them, we have good relations.

It's not wise to make so many enemies, so our relations with all the rest of the guilds are quite good actually, fantastic... So why are they also ganging up on Twilight students? Perhaps the threat of us actually becoming the first-ranked guild in a few years was enough for them to make a move?

No. That's not right. Although there is a mutual power check between the guilds, It's not that. It can't be that. The guilds that aren't in the top 5 aren't that strong. Panther and Genesis, as well, can't compare to the top 3. Despite what is thought, There is a stark difference between the top 10 guilds.

The top three, namely Titan, Behemoth, and Twilight, have their own league. And due to this they also don't get involved with the others, outside business relations. And in Shield? That has no value, They know about Sir Oliver, so they wouldn't be as brave to do something like this...unless the guild masters get involved... And that is something that shouldn't occur at all.

The fourth and fifth ranked guilds are also in conflict with one another, and the rest have their own interests to follow. But...why?

Why are all of them, that have so many conflicts with one another, getting together? Twilight has promised the ones it has a beneficial relationship with benefits... So there is no fucking reason for them to do this...

'Hmmm...'

The minor staff don't have any power to do this as well...which leaves only a student. One that has enough influence to gather all the guilds against one. The one's in the student council know me, so they can be excused...

So who is it? The likely one would be someone with a lot of power and money, in the top 10 of the respective years, and one that has a solid reason to do this, and also looking to gain something for this.

Reason, risk, and reward. But then who? There are many individuals that come to mind, particularly from Behemoth and Titan, the ones who are most threatened by our rise in power...

But the list is too many, I should consult Maxwell about this later on and get some help from him, He would be able to narrow it down...

I checked the time, and was surprised to see that it was already nighttime... I scratched my plans of consulting him later, and opted to do it now.

"Kazikato."

"Huh...?"

The sleepy head struggled to respond to my words... I sighed and told him.

"Keep a watch over the guild members, you're the top ranked first year student. Use it to help them somewhat, but keep a low profile. And if Sabrina asks...try to just divert her attention. I'll handle the rest if she consults me."

Without waiting for a response, I hopped into the portal I made, one that connected me to Maxwell's office.
