36 The Blue Phoenix Guild (2/2)

”Very good, I am glad to see that you understand the situation now. Buttercup come over here to daddy, so I can take you back home with your mother. There is no need for you to waste anymore of your time talking to this boy.” The man in the lead said as the daughter ran into his arms before the group left.

”All of the girls I've met back at the alliance's headquarters were all very fond of me. Since I am not officially with the alliance though, these commoners will continue treating me normally as well. Good thing they let me go, I would've hated to potentially get injured before taking my test at the guild!” thought Leo as he ignored the small crowd that formed hoping to see a fight break out as he left towards the guild.

Finally arriving at a medium sized building which was standing alone without other buildings around it was the guild Leo was searching for. The name of this guild was ”The Blue Phoenix Guild”. The reason for this name, was its founder many years ago was a warrior that would use blue flames as his wings as he chopped down monsters with his sword.

The founder was a commoner who reached the executive level without the help of any households and so he chose to open his own little guild instead. Many schools, sects, and guilds within the city were created in a very similar way by independent commoners who wanted to help other commoners independently from other large factions.

Though majority of the warriors who showed enough potential were taken by the larger factions, there were still enough who chose not to join them and instead create their own faction instead. Over the hundreds of years that this city has existed, these neutral factions would be able to slowly gain more and more power as their foundations grew.

”Hey kid, it seems like you want to enter into this building, could it be that you are here to request an audience with the guild master?” one of the two guards at the entrance asked Leo as he approached the guild's building.

”Actually, I would like to take a test so that I can join you. I've heard from a close friend of mine that it would be wise of me to check you guys out.” Replied Leo as he lowered his walking speed as he continued to approach the entrance of the building.

”Join…. us…...?” the other guard said as he turned to his side towards the other guard standing next to him. After locking eyes, both guards started to laugh uncontrollably before allowing Leo to pass them. A hint of regret was felt in their hearts as they watched Leo enter the guild.

”If it wasn't for a random kid earlier hitting on his daughter, Gorg would probably have gone a little easier on this newcomer. I hope for this kid's sake that when Gorg tests him a little later, that he calmed down a bit.” The guards finally stopped laughing and started to compose themselves as proper guards after the thought of Gorg reprimanding them for being so casual while on guard duty.

Unfortunately for Leo, Gorg was exactly the man he had encountered earlier and that he was the reason that Gorg was so upset!

”Please wait here until Gorg arrives back to the guild. Gorg just got back yesterday from a small quest with his squad members and is a little worn out. However, today is his day to conduct any and all tests for warriors who want to enter our guild, so he should be back at any moment.

”Thank you so much for your help.” Leo responded to this secretary as he casually sat on a small chair to await this Gorg individual.
