Second World Chapter 290

He closed his status window after the process was done. He was still grinning for have gained the title. Bowler and The Man were grinning as well beside him. Flame looked at them and shook her head.
Jack was about to go pick up the dropped loots when he saw that White Scarfs and Saint Edge's members were picking up the loots themselves. His grin vanished as he shouted at them, "hey! Hey! Yours are over there. These here are mine!" Jack was pointing at the spot where the two guilds had done battle with the coalition members.
The two guild members were looking at each other. Their faces said, "who is this fool?"
Radiant Phoebe who was standing not far away, looked at Jack with contempt. "Who do you think you are? Commoners should step aside. Do not blame us if you are hurt when you tread where you don't belong!"
When Jack was about to scold her back, Silverwing came in first, "Mister Storm Wind! I have not thanked you for saving my life. I am in your favor. I will return it when I have the chance. For now, please allow me a simple handshake to show my gratitude."
Jack accepted his handshake. His eyes though were still on the woman who had been rude.
Silverwing then turned to his people, "everyone! Go pick up the loots from players you have killed. Do not pick those which you have no right to."
The White Scarfs members were clearly dissatisfied by this order, but they did not dare to disobey. They walked back reluctantly.
Radiant Phoebe frowned at Silverwing's action. William of Wellington approached Silverwing and said, "brother Silverwing, is this your acquaintance?"
"Yes, this is my friend, mister Storm Wind," Silverwing answered. "I have no doubt that what has caused so much chaos within the coalition rank before we arrived, was due to mister Storm Wind here."
"That's right, I've already killed around four hundred people from that coalition," Jack said. "And if your people still don't stop picking up the loots that are not theirs, I won't mind adding them to the numbers."
"Hahaha. That was so absurd it's not even funny!" Radiant Phoebe mocked.
"If it was not funny, then why did you laugh just now?" Jack asked.

"I was just making a statement!" Radiant Phoebe exclaimed with a fluster.
"And I was just messing with you," Jack shot back.
"You… Ignore him! Just pick all the loots up!" Radiant Phoebe gave up talking to Jack and gave the order to his men.
"Lady, for the sake of your men, do not test me…" Jack warned.
Radiant Phoebe acted as if she did not hear his warning.
"Brother William, can you give me face and help mediate this?" Silverwing said to William of Wellington.
William stayed silent, he did not look like he intended on interfering.
Silverwing sighed. They had just secured a victory together against the coalition. This should be the chance for his guild to come into a formal alliance with Saint Edge for future confrontation with the coalition. If he came into conflict with Saint Edge at the moment, they would lose the momentum in pushing against the coalition. Even if his guild boasted the largest community at the moment, he knew his guild would not survive fighting the coalition alone. The combined manpower and experts in the coalition were not something to look down upon. Therefore, he knew he needed to forge an alliance with the other top guilds in order to have a chance. And due to this incident, an opportunity to ally with Saint Edge had presented itself. That's why he was in a dilemma, should he choose to support a friend? Or should he choose the welfare of his guild? Such was the burden of a leader.
As Silverwing was contemplating, Jack took out his magic staff and without hesitation shot a Mana Bullet at one of Saint Edge members who was continuing to pick up the loots. The guy was a level 19 Ranger with an HP pool of 290. The Mana Bullet caused 283 damage, leaving the poor guy with only 7 HP left. The guy fell down in shock. The others around him were also stunned.
Radiant Phoebe did not pay attention to the damage Jack's Mana Bullet had caused. Once she saw Jack attacking her men, she brandished her weapon which was a large two-handed broadsword.
"You cocky mage! You will pay for that!" She rushed to Jack lifting her broadsword high.
When Jack used his magic staff and cast Mana Bullet, Silverwing and his cohorts were similarly shocked. Not by the damage the spell caused, but due to the fact that Jack was casting a spell! In their knowledge, the guy was supposed to be a Warrior.

Their astonishments were understandable, since they did not pay attention to Jack's fight on the small hill. When Jack came near Silverwing's team during his pursuit of the fleeing coalition members, Jack did not use any of his Mage spells. He was killing the fleeing players using his sword. Even when he saved Silverwing, he was using his Warrior skill.
Hence when they saw Jack casting Mana Bullet, it took them a while to process the incident. Saint Edge people, on the other hand, had no knowledge of Jack. They simply saw him as either a Mage or Magician, no one bothered to use Inspect on him.
That's why when Jack took out his longsword when Radiant Phoebe got near, it's Saint Edge members' turn to become bewildered. What's that mage doing holding a sword? Was the thought on their minds.
Radiant Phoebe swung her broadsword at Jack who was still standing there unmoving. Jack's arm moved when the broadsword was about to hit. His longsword struck at the female Knight's body. To Saint Edge members' surprise, the result of the confrontation was Radiant Phoebe being smacked away.
Both of them were using Power Strike, but Radiant Phoebe had come at Jack with a large swing, Jack could easily see her attack trajectory. Hence Jack easily dodged her slash by a simple swift in footings. She must have underestimated Jack for thinking him to be a range magic class which usually had low Dexterity stat.
Radiant Phoebe was known as the melee class who possessed the strongest strength. Most of Her equipment also boosted strength stat, therefore no one had ever seen her getting sent flying during a clash, not even when she was fighting a Warrior, not to mention a magical class. Was the guy even a magic class? Why was the guy using a sword? None of Saint Edge members could make sense of the scene. What they didn't know was Jack used a Power Strike which was at level 10 with two stars grade. Not to mention his high strength stat, it was no wonder that the female Knight was thrown away violently after suffering a hit.
"This…" William of Wellington was similarly speechless.
Bowler and The Man were grinning like fools. They had expected this outcome.
Due to the unexpected reprisal, Radiant Phoebe lost control of her balance when she was sent flying. She crashed hard to the ground on her back and rolled further a few times until the force of the momentum ran out. She forced herself up once she was able to. Her look was completely miserable, her armor and face were full of dirt and her hair was disheveled. The shame that she felt was far worse than the pain.
"I will kill you…!!" She yelled as she rushed forward again.
But someone came and stood in front of her path.
"Move!" She shouted with agitation and was about to shove the one who dared to block her path away.
Before she could do it, another force ram at her from the side. She staggered and almost fell. She lifted her broadsword and was about to attack when she recognized the person who had rammed at her.
"F–Felix?" She called out.
"Looked at who you are about to attack!" The guy who she called Felix, who was also a Knight, said.
She turned her attention to said person and found out that it was her leader, William of Wellington, who had stood in her way.
"I… Forgive me!" She immediately said. She almost did a most terrible offense.
"Look at your health," William said without expression.
"My health?" She was puzzled at first, but when she paid attention to her HP. She was dumbfounded to see she only had 62 HP left.
"H–How…?"
"The damage you suffered when he hit you," William told her.
"B… But… He only hit me once…," Radiant Phoebe stuttered with disbelief.
"Exactly," William said. "Now, stay back."
William then turned to Jack, and said, "was it truly you who killed all these coalition members before we came?"
"I did," Jack replied flatly.
William was silent as he stared at Jack. After a while, he finally spoke, "then we will not touch your loots."
