Female Novel
Chapter 133
Gravis and the guard walked into the castle, and similar to the Lightning Guild, they walked up some stairs until they were on thehighest floor. A big and heavy door was the end of a long corridor, and the guard gestured for Gravis to enter. Gravis nodded tohim and pushed the door open.
In comparison to the Lightning Guild, the door here was just a regular door, and Gravis had no issues in opening it. Gravisstepped through, into a big hall, and the door closed behind him. He looked around the hall and noticed many people.
Instead of multiple thrones, he saw a lot of wooden chairs and tables. Multiple middle-aged and old people sat around the tablesand talked happily with each other. Gravis could also see multiple kinds of fruit on their tables. The hall in the Lightning Guild feltweighty and oppressive, while this one felt free and casual.
"Welcome, Heavenborn!" shouted a young man at the end of the hall. The man was maybe in his twenties, and his green hairgently flew around like he was underwater. He wore relatively simple clothing, which only consisted of a green shirt and brownpants. The contrast between the man’s looks and his outfit made him look like a rich, young master trying to disguise himself asa peasant.
Gravis noticed that the man sat in the middle of three chairs. Just based on the chairs’ looks, Gravis wouldn't know that that'swhere the Vice-Guild Masters and Guild Master sat. Gravis could only guess that he was the Guild Master based on the positionof the three chairs since they were in the middle of the hall and had some distance between the others.
"Thank you, Guild Master," said Gravis with a polite bow.PAT PAT!
Gravis got a little startled when someone patted his right arm. He turned to his right and saw an elder with a full mouth holding agreen fruit to Gravis. "Gust fruit?" he asked Gravis.
‘They are really casual here,’ Gravis thought as he was surprised by the casual offering of fruit. Instead of politely declining,Gravis went with the flow. "Sure, thanks," he said and took the green fruit. Many of the elders smiled warmly when they saw himaccept the fruit. They hated people who always acted righteous and better than others when they couldn't even relax for asecond.
Gravis looked at the fruit and took a bite.novelbin
WHOOSH!
A big gust of wind blew out from the fruit and blasted into Gravis' face. Gravis got startled and jumped back, dropping the fruit."Hahaha!"
The room exploded into laughter, and one elder gave the one that offered the fruit to Gravis a high-five. "Man, Bruce, you reallyhave guts to pull that on a Heavenborn," said another elder to the first one.
Gravis looked at them and nearly couldn't believe that they pulled a prank on him. Gravis was a little overwhelmed with thesituation since no one had ever played a prank on him before. In his homeworld, everyone respected him and kept him at adistance. This was something entirely new to him.
Gravis thought about how he had jumped back in fright because of a fruit and thought it was actually a little funny. He alsoslightly laughed while rubbing his neck in embarrassment. The others saw that Gravis didn't get angry and felt a little relieved. Itseemed like Gravis was not a stuck-up prick.
"You see?" said the fruit-offering-elder. "| knew that it was the Lightning Guild's environment that made them all stuck-up pricksand not their elements!" The elder pointed at Gravis. "He cultivates the lightning element and can take a joke, yet every singleother disciple of the Lightning Guild immediately gets angry and cries about disrespect!"
Many of the elders nodded. They had debated why some disciples of some guilds weren't able to just relax and go with the flow.Some said that it had something to do with the element, while others said that it was due to the environment in the guild. That'swhy the elder played the prank on Gravis. He wanted to know how Gravis would react since he had the same element as thedisciples of the Lightning Guild but hadn't lived there.
“Alright, enough fun. Let's get down to business," shouted the Guild Master as he clapped to get their attention. The dropped fruitflew over to Gravis. "Don't worry. | caught it before it touched the floor," said the Guild Master to Gravis, who nodded andcontinued eating it. The fruit tasted pretty nice, actually. There were also no more surprises waiting for him. That gust probablyonly happened at the first bite. Maybe that's why it was called a gust fruit.
The elders calmed down and straightened up in their seats. The atmosphere changed, and it felt more serious now, though notas oppressive as in the Lightning Guild. Many of the elders were still slightly smiling. Gravis quickly finished his fruit and took outthe dossier, which flew over to the Guild Master.
The Guild Master looked at it and sighed bitterly. "Just as expected," he said, and some other elders also sighed. Why didWendy have to act so suicidal? The Guild Master turned to the only occupied seat beside his own. "Jarrod, could you pleasekeep an eye on Saron? You know how he is."
The only present Vice-Guild Master nodded and left the hall. Gravis watched this with a questioning look. "Saron is Wendy'sfather and the other Vice-Guild Master," explained the Guild Master with a sigh. "We don't like to be bound by rules andrestrictions, and you can imagine what would happen if he saw you."
Gravis nodded. Saron, as a Vice-Guild Master, was obviously in the Spirit Forming Realm. With the unrestrained ideology of theWind Guild, he might ignore any potential repercussions to kill Gravis. What could Gravis even do against a Spirit Forming expertwith the wind element? He couldn't even attempt to flee.
The dossier flew back to Gravis. "We've already expected you, and everything has already been prepared. Wendy has alreadysaid her goodbyes in the case that she will fall to you," explained the Guild Master. "Though she has one final wish."
Gravis furrowed his brows. "What wish?"
"She would like to fight you outside of the Wind Guild where no one is around. We would like for you to honor that wish. Is thatokay with you?" he asked.
Gravis nodded. It didn’t matter where they fought. If she wanted to surprise him with a third party that would help her, Graviscould simply use the Formation Array. In the worst case, Gravis could shout for Skye, and it would quickly arrive, together with itsparent.
When the Guild Master saw Gravisnod, he nodded back. "She is in theforest to the north. The guard outsidethe door will Oe) her we!disojplesidn the ninth level of MagicGathering keep watch over her, andwhen you arrive, all three guards willretreat and let you fight in peace. Wealso won't use our Spirits to spy onyou. Wendy has explicitly wished forthat, and we will honor that wish."The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!
Gravis nodded again, stood up, and bowed politely to the Guild Master. Under the sad eyes of the elders, he left the hall andlooked at the guard. "Let's go,” said Gravis to him, and the guard nodded.
"Follow me," he said, and they left the castle and the mountain.
They moved rather quickly to thenorth, and Gravis thought about whyWendy had all these strange wishes.The chances of,sartieGne Saving herlife, would be higher inside the WindGuild.

After some minutes, they arrived at a clearing in the woods. Gravis saw three people standing in the clearing, and one of themwas Wendy. She still looked pretty young and had the same green hair as back in the entrance exams.
The two guards beside her sawGravis and sighed. They put theirhands on Wendy and whispered theirgoodbyes to hepafietsbnie ?sboond thay went over to Gravis’guard and nodded.
