Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

Chapter 95: New Team.

Felix returned back to his room after the mock battle, leaving Steve who was contemplating his choice of life in the training room.

After taking a quick shower, Felix put on some clothes, sat down near the window, and started cultivating in silence.

He would always choose to think of using the Unanimity Skill while cultivating, which greatly increases his focus and mind to be at the peak of concentration.

The skill proved to be a lot useful as he had five times more efficiency at cultivating now than before he had the skill.

While Felix was busy meditating until he reached the limit of the Zero Rank, Steve had already changed and was standing outside the room's door with a slightly frowning expression.

He sighed and shook his head, before knocking on the door.

A few seconds later, Felix opened the door and raised his eyebrows with a surprised look.

"Oh, you're back already? Come on in."

Steve entered inside and took a seat, his arms folded as he looked at Felix with a deep look on his face.

Looking at Steve, Felix was confused about what was going on with him.

"So tell me, Felix. How did you become so strong?"

Felix nodded knowingly, as now he knew what was going on in the boy's mind.

"Well, you know how the usual. I trained really hard till my muscles ached, and it seems I've got a knack for fighting as well."

Steve rolled his eyes with a self-mocking smile.

"If people got so strong by just training, then the entire world would be filled with experts.", Steve narrowed his eyes and continued.

"I came here to answer your questions as part of the bet, but I'll do that, only if you answer this one question honestly."

Felix stared at him for a few seconds in silence and then sighed as he decided to give the boy a satisfactory answer.

"Alright, I'll be honest with you.", giving a light cough, Felix revealed.

"You remember when we went to the Underworld Arena? Truth is, after that time, I occasionally went there and joined Mr.Dealer's team in some battles, which greatly rewarded me with plenty of resources and experience."

Steve suddenly stood up from his seat with a surprised face as he heard the boy reveal what seemed like a dangerous tale in a casual tone.

"Wait! You mean to say you went to the Underworld all alone and participated in lots of battles?"

Felix nodded his head matter-of-factly.

Seeing the boy nod without any change in his expression, Steve's face turned chaotic as he scratched his head in a frenzy.

"Are you fucking serious?? That's the Underworld for God's sake. What would I say to Miss Elsa if something had happened to you!!? She would come to know it was me who told you about it, and then I'll be held responsible, which means receiving her deathly punishment!!"

Steve shouted everything in one sentence and then took deep gulps of breath in exhaustion.

Felix was surprised at the beginning when the boy shouted, a bit touched as the boy seemed to care about him, but then twitched his lips realizing Steve was just scared of Miss Elsa's 'punishment'.

"You don't have to worry Steve, it wasn't too dangerous as Mr.Dealer was by my side. Also, if I always stay behind everyone, then how would I be able to fight in the upcoming guild war."

Felix tried to reason with him, but Steve still wasn't convinced as he responded.

"That doesn't mean you'd have to go and partake in some dangerous underworld battles."

Felix shook his head, thinking of a sudden plan in his head, and replied with a shrug.

"Then what am I supposed to do? Stay in the room and meditate? I'm not some hermit to do that. And it's also so boring to always stay inside the building!"

Steve shut up as he couldn't counter that.

As someone who was full of energy and always ready for some action, he too didn't like staying all cooped up in one place and he could somehow understand what Felix was saying.

Seeing the boy getting silent at his words, Felix raised his brow and continued to push him.

"Now you understand? Even I feel like going out on adventures and having some battles here and there instead of just staying inside my room. And with my situation, I can't even go do missions, and that left me with no other option than going to the Underworld to experience many battles."

Steve nodded as he could slowly understand and feel what Felix was going through.

Hell, it was the same as what he had gone through a few years back.

Felix decided it was enough drama and thought to hit the last nail.

"Steve, why are you so quiet? Aren't you going to say something? Or help me in any way to become stronger?"

Perking up at the call, Steve scratched his head frustratingly with a confused face.

"Emm what am I supposed to do?"

Felix remained quiet and just stared deep into Steve's eyes with a serious look.

Steve got nervous from the stare as he turned away and looked around the room while tapping his feet on the ground.

Seeing that Steve wasn't responding anymore, Felix sighed and decided to lay out his plan carefully.

"Steve, if I can't go to the underworld battles, then there's something else that I can do instead of it."

Turning back to Felix, Steve asked with a curious face.

"And what's that?"

Taking a deep breath, Felix replied matter-of-factly.

"I can go do missions with you."

Steve seemed to zone out for a few seconds before he jumped up from his seat and reacted out loud.

"Right! How could I forget it?! I've been wanting to invite you to our team for a while now, it's great that you reminded me of it."

Looking at the excited boy who had forgotten something so important, Felix could only facepalm himself.

"So Felix, how about it? Do you want to join our team and go out there to do some missions?", Steve asked with a hopeful face.

Felix gave a small smile thinking his plan finally worked out somehow in the end and replied.

"Well if you're the one asking me, then how can I refuse such an offer...."

Seeing the boy agree, Steve smiled and moved forward, giving his hand to him.

"Welcome to the team, Felix."

Felix looked at the hand and raised his own, before giving a firm handshake, which brought a huge smile on both of their faces.

'Sigh, thank god Steve is so stupid.....'

After joining their team, Steve seemed to be in high spirits as he said.

"Let's go! We'll register you in our team right now with the guild, and then we'll go complete a mission quickly."

As much as Felix wanted to go and do so, there was something else that they were going to do right now, so he called out to the green-haired boy.

"Wait, don't you think you're forgetting something?"

Steve looked back from near the door and asked in confusion.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Felix shook his head speechlessly and replied with a sigh.

"The bet, Steve, the bet..."

With a tilted head, Steve widened his eyes a bit and clapped his hands.

"Oh yeah. You're going to ask some questions right? Come on then.", saying so, he sat back on the seat and looked curiously at Felix for the questions.

Taking a deep breath, Felix used his mind and thought of the many things he wanted to know.

After that, he started throwing his questions at Steve, who enthusiastically answered all of them to help his new teammate get used to everything.

Of course with the help of Parabolic Hearing skill.

Slowly, Felix got to know more information about this city as well as this world.

His eyes slowly widened in surprise and amazement as he heard some truly astonishing information from the boy's mouth.

Before the guild wars, he had wanted to get as much knowledge about the situation as possible, and with his new teammate Steve, he didn't leave any of his doubt behind.

As Steve continued to rant about everything useful and useless, Felix was deep in thought while processing all the knowledge he had gotten right now.
