Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

The guy named Warren replied swiftly as he had come up with a reason already., "I felt something different when I fought against you, and I can swear that nobody has ever made me feel this way....", the man answered with his deep eyes staring right into Felix\'s.

With an emotionless face, Felix gave a polite nod of understanding but inside he was sweating bullets.

\'That\'s fucking gay!\'

Thinking that it was a waste of time to talk with this man who seemed to bend not the straight way, Felix decided to leave quickly before he got trapped into something shady.

"Well, I\'ll have to apologize then Warren. I have a tight schedule for today and won\'t be having any time for more battles.", saying his answer, Felix gave the man a last nod and hurried away while clenching his butt hole.

Warren remained standing there, his lonely shadow unresponsive to the rejection and with a contemplative look on his face.

A few seconds later, he shook his head turning back determined, and muttered to himself.

"Phantom, I won\'t accept this refusal. I\'ll definitely battle you one day...."

The man then walked away hoping for there to be a chance for him to feel what he had felt at yesterday\'s battle.

On the other hand, the group of men who were following Felix from all along the way whispered to each other.

"Did you see that? That\'s Warren from yesterday\'s battle."

"Yeah, what does he want from Phantom? Is he looking for revenge or something?"

"Revenge? It looked more like he was asking for marriage."

"Don\'t know anything about that. But even if it is revenge, so what? Phantom is clearly stronger than him anyway.", Dufus whispered with full confidence. m|v|l|e m|p|y|r original content

Henry patted their shoulder and said in a hurry, "Alright less talking, it seems our boy is going to take part now. We can\'t miss it and we better reach there before the battle ends. Now go."

The men nodded at their betting leader and hurried on, chasing behind Felix to not miss their chance of earning a dishonest day\'s money.

Arriving at the place of his next battle, it didn\'t take long before Felix quickly ended the battle, on which a few sneaky-looking men had placed their bets.

Stepping out of that arena without wasting any more time, Felix thought of moving toward his next arena and waiting there till his battle came.

While on his way, he glanced around the various arenas and saw the fighters showing off their skills.

The place he was moving about was mostly around the arena numbered from eleven to thirty and more as that was where the battles of the zero-rank fighters took place.

As for the arenas numbered from one to ten, they were assigned only for the battles for the fighters of the first rank.

And that was so because there were very few people who would still choose to take part in the arena battles after advancing to the first rank.

Because as a First rank warrior or mage, there would be a lot of organizations and guilds that would seek you out to work for them, and only those who had a thing for battles would remain fighting in the arenas.

As Felix came near the arena of his next battle, a deep voice suddenly reached his ears making him alert.

"Phantom, there seems to be a group of men following behind and placing bets on you."

Felix quickly turned around to look for the source of the voice but all he could see was the back of a man wearing a grey robe and mask walking away.

\'It\'s Mr.Dealer\'s man....\', he realized and sighed a breath of relief.

The man had gotten so dangerously close to him and he couldn\'t even feel a thing. He felt thankful that the man was not an enemy, because if he were, then he would have died a few times by now.

Slightly frowning, Felix thought back to what the man had whispered and pondered.

\'What did he say? Some men are following me and placing bets on me?\'

Turning around, he sneakily glanced over the place behind him but couldn\'t find anybody suspicious.

\'Hmmm, then let\'s try this.\'

Felix turned back towards the front and started walking away from there.

When he had reached a corner, he sped up and hid to the side before disappearing from the public\'s eyes using Silent Steps.

He stayed under the shadows of a few boards and waited there for some time, with his eyes roaming over the place looking for anybody searching around for him.

And a few seconds later, he saw them.

Some men were glancing about the place searching around eyeing each other, and then slowly started to join together when they failed to do so.

Dufus, Henry, and the others kept looking at their surroundings as they discussed in hurried whispers.

"Where did he go? I certainly saw him taking a turn at this corner..."

"I saw him too, and the next moment he\'s nowhere to be seen."

Henry nodded too, wondering where the man had magically disappeared, and gave them orders before it was too late for them.

"No point in wasting time, guys. We\'ll have to separate again and search for him. He won\'t be much far from us..."

At the end of his words, the other men nodded and were about to separate to search for the man, when a calm voice interrupted them.

"You\'re right, I\'m not that far from you guys.", the men turned around to look for the voice and a man wearing a black mask and robe came into their sight who was curiously staring at them.

The men became stunned and didn\'t know how to respond as their faces turned strange, but the man continued.

"In fact, I\'m right beside you guys....."

Dufus and the other men remained quiet as they didn\'t know how to handle the situation and turned to look at their leader.

Henry was having the most intense feeling as he had finally come face to face with the person he was recently thinking even in his dreams. The man who had given them a new chance to earn money and had gotten them away from their previous poverty.

He didn\'t know what to say and just waited for the man\'s words.

Felix looked at them and realized the slightly fat man was their leader or something. He turned to that man and asked.

"So, I heard you\'ve been following me around, eh?"
