Second World

Jeanny and the others were preparing themselves. They were grouped with the draconian players.

Hydrurond was similar to Themisphere at the start of the civil war. The native army acted separately from the players. They had never fought together. This was Hydrurond's first war since outworlders came into this world.

This fact worried Jeanny. She was currently making her way toward the ones in charge of this player group. The Man and Jason Wu followed beside her.

The ones taking charge were unsurprisingly the eleven guilds in Hydrurond which had headquarters. Out of the eleven, the one that held the number one rank in the country was a guild called Inquisition.

This guild was another one of the past world's famous game guilds. It didn't have a presence in Themisphere because very few of its past members ended up in that country. The leader's name was Herald. He was currently acting as the de-facto leader of the player group.

Jeanny tried to force her way to where the guild leaders were convening, but the players forming the perimeter stopped her.

"Please inform Herald that Jeanny from Everlasting Heavenly Legends wishes to speak," Jeanny told the players.

"Never heard of you, or your guild," the player said dismissively. His friend beside him laughed.

Jeanny frowned. Although their territory was in Themisphere, their guild also had influence in Hydrurond. They had some draconian members who were active in this country and had also interacted with many of the guilds here. Although one of the guilds they hadn't had contact with was Inquisition, there was no way this number one guild didn't know about them.

"Want me to make a way for you?" The Man asked. He brandished his large two-handed axe directly in front of the face of the player who have just dismissed Jeanny. That player scowled at The Man's act.

"No need," Jeanny said and did a super jump.

"Hey! What are you...?!" The player was surprised by Jeanny's sudden jump.

High in the air, she did a double jump which was one of her Brave Lancer's abilities. She landed behind the perimeter and walked toward the guild leader.

"Stop rightâ€"" The player who had dismissed Jeanny and his friend tried to chase after Jeanny, but they were suddenly pulled back by a pair of hands with incredible strength.

The Man threw the two players away as if they were ragged dolls. The strength stat of his Brave Rusher couldn't be compared to these two players with standard elite classes.

Jeanny and The Man's action immediately drew the attention of everyone, including the player leaders who were convening.

One of the leaders, a man named Morius from Guild Sand Family, scolded Jeanny who was walking over, "Who the hell are you?! How dare you not know your place and barge in here? This place is not for a nobody. Seize them!"

The players who were guarding the perimeter were already advancing to The Man who had assaulted their friends while Morius was issuing the order.

They were all brandishing their weapons. The Man, however, had stored his axe. He walked toward the advancing players without fear.

Seeing such bravado, the advancing players were offended. They swung their weapons at this burly man.

The burly man, however, easily dodged their swings and continued enclosing them. He grabbed one of the closest players and violently slammed that player into his comrade. He then lifted that player and swung him as if a baseball bat at any player who tried to come near.

Some players tried sneaking behind The Man, but they were intercepted by Jason who was using a long mace weapon. Jason expertly used his long mace to control the players' movements and cause them to lose balance and fell without hitting them. Hence, these players didn't receive any damage.

Two other players approached Jeanny. Jeanny also didn't pull out her weapon. She dodged the two who tried to attack her, then sent counterattacks using her fists and kicks. Bringing the two to their knees without damaging them.

"Halt!" Another leader shouted. The players who had been agitated and were about to gang up on the three stopped after the shout. They had stopped because the one who shouted was Herald, the leader of Hydrurond's number one guild.

"Sister Jeanny, even if you are the leader of the number one guild in Themisphere, it doesn't mean you can do as you please here."

"Hmph! What's so great about the number one guild in Themisphere?" Morius harrumphed. "She should be glad that we are not in the same country as hers. Otherwise, her guild wouldn't have gotten that spot."

Jeanny looked down at the two on her feet. The two had Sand Family guild tags.

"If all your members are like these, I doubt you can back that bull," Jeanny returned.

Morius' face was red with anger from the insult.

"She is not just the leader of the number one guild in Themisphere. She is also the finalist in the Outworlder World Tournament hosted by the Council of Virtus," A woman, who stood with the other Hydrurond leaders, said.

Jeanny looked at her and recognized the woman. She was Megan Flair. One of the participants in the world tournament as well. She was the leader of the draconian race team. She was guildless when she was at the tournament. Now, she was a leader of the guild Evil Breakers, which was also the number two guild in Hydrurond.

"Hmph. So what?" Morius harrumphed again. "It's just a sports match. It doesn't mean anything."

"You are pretty loudmouth for someone who had no achievement to boast about," Jeanny said to Morius.

"How dare you!" Morius was a warlock. His staff appeared in his hand.

But he froze before he could do anything. That was because a spear was suddenly in front of him. Its tip was just an inch from his throat. No one was able to catch Jeanny thrusting her spear out.

"Your spear technique is even more impressive than during the world tournament," Megan praised. She then said to Morius, "You have better stopped embarrassing yourself."

Morius' face became redder from the humiliation.

Herald gestured for everyone to calm down. "Everyone, lower your weapons," He ordered. He then asked Jeanny, "What do you want coming here, sister Jeanny?"

"I want to know what's your plan for this campaign," Jeanny answered. She returned her spear to her inventory.
