In the silence of this pce, everything stopped as if under a spell. There was only the sound of the clock ticking rhythmically and the sound of the cold wind blowing past as if the wind had brought "comfort" out of this city. Now, "clouds" began to form over this city.

  "So, you must be 'Newbie Newly'?" Jack muttered. Then he leaned forward, csped both his hands together on the table and said, "Do you guys know about the 'Paexra' organizations and 'Siege Battle' ?"

  "Of course We do. That criminal organization. But what interests me more is the axe." Mica pointed at the axe, Before he could speak, Cilly lunged forward, nearly pressing her face against Jack's. "So, the axe is really made from 'Aposliver'?!". Her tail was swaying like a dog that had found a rge bone.

  "Geez, behave yourself, Goofball" Mica muttered before pulling the base of Cilly's tail back into pce until her back hit the chair, causing both her and her seat to rock back before a loud bang followed.

  But this time, before Mica could react, Cilly smmed her head into Mica's face. The result was that both Mica and Cilly fainted from the impact, which was followed by ughter and conversations from many people in the guild.

  The atmosphere that was awkward had now become like a pub. Some were ughing, some were ordering food and drinks, some were starting to chat in groups, and some were walking out of the guild. Everyone was free to do their own things.

  Amidst the loud chatter and people who were socializing, only Skye and Jack were staring at each other. Even though Mica and Cilly were still unconscious on the ground, Skye couldn't escape his feelings. His heart was beating fast and fast, and he was breathing heavily. 'Curiosity and excitement' were finally something worthy of being in another world.

  "Mr. Jack, can you please tell me about 'Paexra' and 'Siege Battle'?" Skye said softly and leaned forward a little. Seeing that, Jack crossed his arms and ughed. "Just call me Jack. You don't have to add you. If you want to know, I'll tell you." After he finished speaking, he sat down. Both hands csped together on the table, eyes fixed on Skye. "Then... let's begin."

  There was a city in the middle of mountains and grassnds. There were small streams flowing everywhere. Although the popution of the city was not much, people kept coming to the city. Although the city was not very prosperous and was far from other cities,

  why did people keep coming to the city?

  Because the city had something special that was different from other cities, which was "combat skills". The soldiers and troops of the city were taught various combat skills. Sometimes they fought in various battles. Whether it was humans or demons, they could fight against all of them. There were rumors that wherever there was a war or battle, one of the troops of the city would be found.

  In addition, they had weapons made from 'Aposliver', a very strong and high-quality mineral that almost nothing could damage.

  With highly skilled soldiers and superior weapons, just one soldier of the city could be compared to hundreds of soldiers. The city was nicknamed the 'City of War'. No matter where they went, no one could fight against the city. That city was 'Paexra'.

  The sky was getting darker and darker. Although the air in the guild was warm, Skye couldn't help but feel that a "storm" was coming.

  As soon as Jack finished speaking, he took out the waterskin he had on his waist and drank it. When Skye heard the story, he swallowed his saliva and broke out in a small sweat.

  "W-well, it's over already? What if 'Paexra' comes to invade this city? What are we going to do?"

  Jack let out a soft Hee and crossed his arms before speaking in a resolute tone. "They can't do it, because they've all been killed." Then he continued in a low voice. "At least most of them."Skye stood up in shock at what Jack had just said. "The city of war was wiped out? What happened?" Skye thought to himself, trying to think of the possibilities of what exactly happened. But it seemed like Jack could read his expression, so he revealed a slight smile. "That's why we used the siege pn."

  "The siege pn?" Skye followed Jack and tilted his head slightly in confusion. Before he sat down and he put his hand on his chin and focused on what Jack was about to say. "Alright, I'll continue." Jack twisted his body slightly before starting to tell.

  Since the city of 'Paexra' was so strong and a threat at all times, many cities started to unite to gather their forces and pn ways to fight back. From sending spies to investigate, we learned that the city of 'Paexra' would be holding Celebration, causing the 'Paexra' forces to gather in that city for 4 days and 3 nights. We would take advantage of that opportunity to put a weakening drug in their food and supplies, and besiege the city to cut off their supplies. After a short while, we stormed the city and eliminated the enemies.

  Although they were weakened by the drug and hunger, they were still able to fight back with equal force, but we had more numbers and strength, so we were able to defeat them.

  Although it was only afternoon, the atmosphere was dark. The wind was getting stronger. The sound of wooden windows banging against each other was constantly echoing. Now, the "storm" was here.

  When Jack finished speaking, he proudly straightened his chest, but there were still many points that Skye was still suspicious of.

  "Why didn't they know that they were going to be surrounded?" Skye asked. Jack answered, "Because the spy we sent in was one of their high-ranking ones, so they didn't suspect anything."

  "Then why didn't we use poison instead?"... "They were well-trained. Some of them could resist poison, some could detect poison, so we had to find something that was thin and difficult to detect."

  "At least someone must have known that there was poison."... "That's true, but it would take three days for them to know about this poison, which would be too te."

  "Then..." Before Skye could ask further, Jack interrupted. "Let's not be too suspicious. I don't know much. It's just the basics that everyone knows, that the 'Paexra' are criminals."

  Skye was silent for a while before he thought of a question, but it was quite rude. However, he still wanted to know. "Jack... Where did you get that axe?" Jack's smile diminished a little, and he was silent for a while before he said, "I picked it up in the 'Siege Battle'. It's from the enemy I killed."

  Skye's answer made his fingers twitch a little. Sweat started to break out. Jack stared at Skye before asking in an indifferent tone, "Do you think I did anything wrong?" The question made Skye sit up straight, hairs on various parts of his body started to stand up. Skye replied in a trembling tone, "W-well...um...it depends on the situation."

  "Wrong... Why?" Jack said in a same tone before he slowly revealed a smile.

  "Because this is 'the winner's right', right?" Jack's smile, face, and eyes were all too distorted to be called a human face. Sky sat stiffly in his chair, his fingers trembling, sweating profusely. He wanted to hide Jack's face from his sight, but his body wouldn't move, even swallowing was difficult. In this moment of awkwardness and disgust, finally he heard someone say something.

  "Eww, a pervert." Cilly said as he gave Jack a look of disgust.
