Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

Chapter 286 Leaf Boy's Identity Revealed

*Sheeeow!*

An arrow shot from out of nowhere, grazing right past Kaith's nose as it bounced off the metal door next to him.

A small trickle of blood began to make its way down his face as everyone quickly turned their attention to where the arrow came from.

Looking inside the room, they saw a room similar in looks and size to the Manathryll room, except it had a bunch of giant lizardmen inside.

It had none of the ore but instead was full of carts with food in them.

There were also barrels of what looked to be wine everywhere.

Finally, the skeletons of what looked to be human remains scattered the floor.

*Sheeeow! Sheeeow!*

A few more arrows shot at the group of students, as one person found it too hard to dodge.

The arrow approaching him neared mere millimeters before he suddenly disappeared.

In his place appeared a sack of sand and a sign with his head and eyes crossed out—just like the ones they saw a few moments ago.

Another arrow went straight for a kid dressed in a green hood, and he didn't seem to make a reaction even though the arrow was mere feet from lodging into him.

The crowd of student's held their breath as it neared 1 foot from the student. 

*Swoosh*

His hand suddenly rose, grabbing the arrow and breaking it in half swiftly.

Lyrian took note of the boy.

Everyone was now on high alert and stormed the room. They spread out, eyeing each of the 10 saurians that were inside.

They seemed to be of the same strength as the ones they fought when they were still in the cave.

This time, however, there were 3 large axe-wielding brutes, 3 swordsmen, 2 spearmen, and 2 archers.

Lyrian smiled as he dashed around, 'I didn't expect to meet them so early, but this is a good thing.'

He was thinking about his original team. 'Now, I can take their items as well.'

He looked over at Minton, who ran toward one of the swordsman lizardmen.

'That guy was probably bluffing when he said that they hit the jackpot, since Kaith's reaction wasn't supporting his. Still, they must have collected something. More than my team.' He smirked at his own joke.

As he continued to dash around, students began teaming up against the beasts. Lyrian thought of how to play things.

He wanted the most benefits while putting himself in the least danger.

'For now... I'll do this,' He said to himself, looking at the thick doors that led to the next room, 'If there are more rooms, I don't need to exact my final move yet.'

With that, he dashed over to one of the archers. 'However... one thing I didn't want to do, I have to do now.' He thought inwardly, appearing before the face of the lizardman archer.

He used his obsidian blade's sharp edge to slice through the creature's head, obtaining its eyes and snoutal horns.

He did all of this whilst still in mid-air. This time, he was seen by everyone fighting this lizardman, so instead of dashing away quickly, he dropped to the floor in front of the saurian's body.

Everyone apart of that group, students from both teams, gazed at him in awe and shock.

"My suspicions from before were true..." Kaith retorted, now looking at Lyrian with widened eyes.

Others paused and stared at him with intrigue as he spoke. He commanded a lot of heads to turn, as his status was high.

"He is Lyrian Theageld! The MVP!" He shouted as many other kids from different fights turned to look in shock. This included the blue-robed kid, who had given up on that thought...

Before fully revealing himself, Lyrian waited to see the crowd's reaction. Although it was extremely small, there was a chance that the crowd went against Kaith's words.

If this happened, he could continue having some disguise and trust between the two groups, if nothing.

"Wait a minute... now that I think about it, you're right!" Jiller spoke slowly, "Why else would he be so strong!?"

Kaith looked at him with disappointment, "You should have noticed that a while ago."

With this, everyone around Lyrian roared in agreement with Kaith.

"You're right! How did we miss that!?"

"You are a genius for noticing so quickly, master Kaith."

lightsnοvεl "You bastard! How dare you trick us!" A few even began to ridicule Lyrian.

'I see... this disguise is useless now. I could try to play it off as if I'm not him, but I doubt anyone would listen to me over him.'

He pondered, before stripping off his leaf hood. Shocked gasps sounded through the crowd as their thoughts were confirmed.

"I don't care! I'm still siding with him! Hell, I think his strategy was smart!" Jiller exclaimed, raising his sword.

No one else said a word and simply looked at him. There were a few who wanted to support Lyrian as well, and those kids looked around to see if anyone else was going to speak out first.

Jiller's words didn't really mean anything, since he was a fool, but if someone intellectual said it, then they could agree without shame.

For now, people decided to keep their mouths shut. At that moment, Lyrian turned and began to walk away.

"Hey!" A kid grabbed his shoulder and gripped it tight. A few behind him tried to restrain him, but he had already done it before they could do anything.

Lyrian stopped, looking back past his shoulder at the boy.

"You stole all of our materials from those first lizardmen... remember? Did you think we forgot?" He said in an arrogant tone.

Lyrian stared at him with a piercing gaze, making him loosen his grip slightly. He himself realized at that moment that this was the same kid who showcased that deadly killing intent from before and gulped.

"Stole? I killed those beasts and took their materials all by myself. How did it become your's all of a sudden?" Lyrian said, pulling his shoulder in as the boy's grip let go.

He walked out of the crowd, and no one attempted to follow him.

"Dude... what the hell are you thinking. That's not just some nobody." A kid nearby said to the boy who grabbed Lyrian's shoulder. He was now in a slight daze of fear.

"I know... he was really strong. I forgot." The boy said.

"No! Not that. Don't you realize that we aren't just messing with some kid, or strong kid even... that is an MVP. That's Lyrian Theageld. Some people call him the Pheonix after that night of the banquet..."
