Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

Chapter 27: Group Mission.

The sunlight greeted his face as he opened his eyes to a new day.

'Today, we'll do a mission together.'

He smiled at the thought of spending the day completing a mission with his new friends.

Getting out of bed, Felix stretched his body and entered the washroom, refreshing himself.

Wearing his clothes, he exited his room and ate breakfast in the dining hall. After filling his tummy for the morning, he walked out and descended the stairs to the main hall.

The moment he came downstairs he saw Noah and the group already there, standing in front of the mission board discussing.

Thinking of pranking them, he smirked and activated his skill 'Silent Steps' before sneaking behind them.

Felix's eyes gleamed evilly as he stood behind Noah and shouted like a ghost.

"Booh!"

His shout was met with a girly shriek.

"Eeeiikk!!"

Noah jumped in the air before hiding behind Kevin as his eyes revealed panic and fear.

He turned to find Felix laughing as he held his stomach and pointed toward him. The others were also holding back their laughter with their hand on their mouth.

"Hahaha! Noah, you got scared like a girl!"

"Y-You! Felix! How could you!!"

Noah felt betrayed as his new friend was making fun of him and his eyes turned teary looking very sad.

"I thought we were good friends...."

Felix stopped and regretted it as it seemed that Noah took things seriously with 'friends'.

"Umm Noah, that...I'm sorry. I was just playing with you."

He shook his hands and came near Noah to pat his shoulders.

"There there, you are a grown boy now. Don't need to cry."

Noah rubbed his eyes as he retorted and chuckled.

"Who's crying! I'm not crying, there was some dust in the air..."

Shaya and Thomas looked at the clean hall which had practically no dust and shook their heads at his lie.

Kevin patted Noah's back in pity as he could not even lie properly.

The shy Betty twitched her lips and pointed at Felix without any of her previous fear.

"You can't do that again! Friends don't scare each other."

Felix sweated as he raised both of his hands in the air and surrendered.

"Okay Okay, I promise I won't do that again."

Seeing him agreeing to her, she couldn't help but smile victoriously and fold her hands on her flat chest.

"What are you guys doing here in the early morning shouting around?"

Miss Elsa suddenly broke their drama as she joined the group who were making a scene in the hall.

Noah hurried to the front and stopped her from hearing his embarrassing moment.

"Nothing Miss Elsa, we were just wondering what mission we could do together."

The blonde receptionist nodded and asked again,

"So, have you decided what mission you guys are doing?"

At her question, Noah ran to the mission board and took a scroll which he handed to her.

"This one..."

Felix was a bit curious about the mission scroll but he waited for them to discuss it first.

"Hmm, this mission is not bad. You guys together can complete it. Come here I'll give you the specifics for this."

She moved to her desk and sat down, bringing some files and items out of the drawer.

The group stood at the desk and waited for her to brief them on the mission.

Elsa studied the scroll and various other documents before she handed the scroll back and stated.

"The mission is simple. Go to the abandoned factory in the eastern part of the city and find if there is anything useful left behind by the previous owner."

"The things that you find are to be brought back to the guild which would be later delivered to the client. This mission has a reward of 12k tahl. Is that clear?"

"Yas mam." x6

Everyone nodded as they understood the details of the mission and Felix also thought that it was a nice and easy mission.

"Well then. Good luck with the mission and take care of yourselves."

Miss Elsa bid them bye and turned back to her work.

The six of them strode toward the door and exited the guild building while planning for their mission.

"I know the way to the abandoned building so I'll be leading the way."

Noah raised his hand enthusiastically and began guiding them out of the gates.

Without a map in his hand, unlike Felix, he started walking ahead moving through the streets and the alleys as the group traversed together.

The soft hues of dawn painted an enchanting scene in the city, bringing joy to the people starting their morning. Hawkers and vendors bustled about, setting up their colorful stalls as the streets gradually awakened to the day's activities.

The aroma of freshly baked pastries mingled with the sweet scent of flowers, creating an inviting atmosphere that beckoned passersby to explore the bustling market.

The group of six kids traveled through the city enjoying the moment and made their way toward their destination.

As they walked, they entered a sparsely populated region in the eastern part of the city as the number of buildings and public grew less.

They seem to have reached the suburbs of the city where tall grass and trees started to appear with the buzzing of insects.

The sky started to become slightly dark even though it was in the morning as clouds covered the atmosphere making the temperature cold.

"Here we are..."

Noah finally stopped in front of a site from where they could see an abandoned factory inside the closed gates. Crows could be seen flying above the building which made them uncomfortable.

"This place looks like it was uninhabited for a few years."

Felix voiced out as the building seemed much older than they thought. It was covered with weeds and garbage here and there. The building itself had a lot of moss around its surface.

The six kids looked at each other unsure of whether to go in or not.

"Let's go guys. We can't just turn back now that we're all finally here."

Noah stopped them before they could have second thoughts and entered the gates by himself.

"Noah be careful, there may be small animals around."

Shaya called out to him and followed after him not letting him make a mess of things.

The others followed them into the site as they set foot inside the gates.

It was a four-story tall factory of grey-colored stones with dark brown patches all over it resulting from decaying and bad maintenance.

Felix looked at the abandoned building and couldn't help but think about those horror stories and urban legends of his previous world.

'There's no way this factory is haunted, right?'

He was not sure himself but he felt like something was observing them from the windows of the building. But whenever he turned to look, nothing was there.

'Something feels fishy here, I better stay alert...'

There was no downside of being alert in an unknown area and that is what he did.

"Come here everyone, I found the entrance!"

Noah cheerfully shouted as he waved at others standing near to the walls of the building.

They approached him as he pushed open the double doors of the factory with both of his hands.

"Creeeeaak....."
