Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

A few minutes later, a handsome and fully dressed boy with slightly wet silver hair could be seen running down the corridor holding a black sheathed shortsword.

He hurried and opened the door of the dining hall, before dashing inside and getting himself a plate full of food.

"Over here Felix!"

A mischievous voice called out to him, and the boy turned around to find three boys sitting around a table with one of them waving his hand towards him.

Felix walked over to the table and took a seat, before wolfing down his food without any greetings.

The three boys looked at each other and their empty plates, then shrugged not minding Felix's behaviour as they could see the boy seemed to be in a hurry.

Roven took the lead wiping his mouth with a cloth and started.

"Alright, now that we all are here. Let me start with the details of the mission. But before that," he turned towards Felix and smiled.

"Good morning, Felix. Also welcome to our team, I hope we get along well."

With a peace of bread in his mouth, Felix nodded with a smile on his stuffed face.

"Thanks, but I would have appreciated it if you guys gave me an earlier notice of this sudden mission."

Roven raised an eyebrow and turned towards Steve with a helpless expression.

"Steve, don't tell me you didn't inform him of the mission yesterday...."

The boy just shrugged and replied.

"I went to Felix's room last night and called him. But he seemed to have already fallen asleep, so there was nothing I could do."

Roven sighed and just shook his head, before responding to Felix.

"We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience, Felix. And it's fine if we leave a bit later, so you can take your time and finish the breakfast peacefully."

Felix raised his head from his plate and wiped his mouth, before replying calmly.

"Oh there's no need for that. I'm done already.", he pointed at his plate which looked clean without anything left.

Steve silently gave an impressed nod while Eric and Roven looked at each other dumbfounded.

"So, what kind of mission is this?", Felix directly asked as he had no idea what they were going to do.

Roven gave the answer turning into a serious mood.

"There seems to be some kind of disturbance in a nearby town named, Wuller Town. The people there reported signs of formation of a bandit group who are causing panic and trouble in the surroundings. And our job there is to investigate it and solve the problem."

Steve on the side sliced his hand over his neck and muttered casually.

"In short words, we're gonna kill all of them."

Roven raised his hand towards Steve and corrected.

"No Steve, we're going to 'arrest' them, alright? Arrest!", he empathised the word 'arrest' like he seemed to have experienced something going wrong in their previous mission.

"Sure, I get you Roven. Arrest it is then.", Steve nodded wholeheartedly as if he had heard it.

Roven sighed for the empteenth time, and turned back to Felix.

"The journey to the town will take about 3 hours of carriage travel, so it'll take us about two days for the mission, is that fine with you?"

Felix nodded while giving out a burp to the side.

"Everything's fine, and I'm also ready. So do we leave right now?"

Roven looked at Steve and Eric who nodded and agreed.

"Yeah, we leave now. Let's go."

The four of them stood up from their seats and walked out of the dining hall with their equipments, before heading down to the Main Hall.

Moving towards the reception desk, Roven took out the mission scroll they had taken beforehand and placed it on the desk.

"Hey good morning sis, would you approve on this mission please, we're going out.", he said with a light smile.

Miss Elsa who was doing her job diligently looked at the mission scroll and turned to the four of them, and when she spotted a silver-haired boy among them, she responded swiftly.

"No."

Roven got confused at her rejection and tilted his head.

"Umm, may I ask why? Dear sister..."

Miss Elsa narrowed her eyes at Roven and replied coldly.

"If you dare to say the word 'sister' here again, then...."

Roven suddenly felt a bit chilly and stuttered while rubbing his palms.

He always forgot she had reminded him to not address her as 'sister' here at the guild, and approach her with a formal greeting, which he fail to do so every time.

"U-Umm I apologise for that, si- I mean Miss Elsa, but why are you not approving of this mission. It's not like this is our first time going out to another town for a mission....", he asked carefully as he didn't want to piss off his erratic sister.

Miss Elsa pointed her finger at the smiling Felix, who seemed to be happy that he was going out on some action for once and wondering if he could get the chance to obatin some skill points.

Looking over at his sister's finger, Roven turned towards Felix and asked her again.

"What's wrong with him? Isn't he an official member now?"

Miss Elsa nodded but then shrugged.

"Felix is still at the Zero Rank, so I cannot allow him to leave the city without a proper cause."

Roven appeared surprised at that as he turned towards Steve and exclaimed.

"Wait! Steve you said Felix defeated you yesterday in a battle, and he did that while he was at the Zero Rank?"

Steve got embarrassed a bit as he scratched his head and then replied with a shrug.

"Yeah I mean, I didn't use all of my powers but he did defeat me if you take that I used an average 1st Rank's capability."

Everyone there who heard him widened their eyes in astonishment, and then looked at Felix with amazement.

Miss Elsa seemed to be the most excited who practically walked over from the desk and held Felix's hand.

"Is it true, Felix? You really defeated Steve in a battle?", she couldn't believe it, because even though Steve acted all stupid, he was a great fighter.

Felix smiled at that and nodded his head truthfully, using it as a means to convince Miss Elsa in allowing him to go for the mission.

"Yes, I've been training a lot these days and I'm also on the verge of advancing to the 1st Rank, so it wasn't too hard for me to handle Steve."

The boy who had lost rolled his eyes but kept quiet to not waste this chance.

Miss Elsa smiled proudly and walked back to her desk happily with a hop in her steps.

She seemed to be overjoyed that Felix was starting to get more stronger and that he could already face off against Steve.

She knew that the stronger he was, the more chances he had in surviving the upcoming ordeals.

Taking back the mission scroll, she went through all of it and signed off at the end with her seal, before returning it back.

"There you go. With Felix having the strength to protect himself, and with the rest of you in the team, I'm sure there won't be any trouble for him in this mission.", she easily gave her permission once she got to know how capable Felix had become.

With a professional smile on her face, she continued.

"Also, if you'd like there is a recent batch of potions and supplies that you may find yourselves in need of. Don't worry, as it's Felix's first mission out of the city with a team, there'll be a discount of 15%."

The boys except for Felix who were happy with her signing the scroll turned shocked when they heard of the word 'discount' from the mouth of their guild's receptionist.

It was the first time she had ever said so, which made them feel amazed at the power that Felix held.

Silently giving him a thumbs up, they hurriedly bought several supplies from her, afraid that she'd go back on her words if they weren't quickly enough.

After a few minutes, the four of them walked out of the guild building and took in the breath of the cool morning.

"Haa....Alright guys, let's get going, we have a mission to complete."

With Roven taking the lead, they started their adventure with a new teammate who was getting excited to go out in the forests again.

'This time I'm going to collect a lot of skill points before I come back and advance to the First Rank.....'
