Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith-Chapter 285 Team Reunion

The sound of the piece of Manathryll falling echoed through the room, causing many kids to turn their heads toward the leaf boy.

"What th--!? It actually worked!" Jiller exclaimed in surprise.

Lyrian smiled, jabbing at the ore bulge with precise strikes. More and more small chunks of gem began flying out like there was no tomorrow, landing all around Lyrian.

Students gathered closer in awe of the spectacle. They were jealous, of course. They wanted some of the ore, at the least.

After a few minutes, all of the ore in that corner had been dislodged cleanly onto the floor. Lyrian went along and picked all of them upright afterward, storing them in his ring.

'That was about 5 pounds. 500 Riftstones.' He mused, looking at the tip of his spear. It was roughed up, but not too badly.

The students continued to stare at him with puppy eyes, wanting a few pieces.

"Lord!"

Hearing this made Lyrian throw his guard up slightly. 'What?' He thought to himself since he imagined he would only be called 'lord' when they found out that he was an MVP.

But instead, he saw that the kid who said it didn't look like he knew that he was an MVP.

He came up to Lyrian and put his hands together before begging. "Let me get some... please!"

Before Lyrian could reply, half the room burst into begs and pleads, some even falling to their knees before Lyrian.

Lyrian looked at them all calmly for a moment... and then turned around and walked away.

The kids immediately stopped begging as they saw this cold reply. There was no emotion behind the boy's actions. No words, no nothing.

It was clear that he didn't care one bit about giving any of them anything.

Jiller sighed, getting up from his hands and knees. 'He's a piece of shit... but at least he's strong. He's strong and even smart. On top of that, he is closest to me. If anything goes wrong, next time, I'm sticking by him.' He thought to himself.

Lyrian arrived at the next ore pile and began striking at it as well. After several minutes, the entire room was swiped clean of its ore. Lyrian got about 17 pounds, and the rest was retrieved by random students.

Most were disheartened by that point, having not a single Riftstone to their name in his 'fun' activity.

Finally, Lyrian walked toward the gate. It was creaked open ever so slightly. This was because while he was collecting the Manathryll, the students had tried to push it open.

Without his help, however, it didn't budge any more than a few centimeters.

Finally, the other students lined up against it as well, pushing with all their might.

"Heave! Ho!"

The door slowly opened, as everyone stepped across the doorway. This time, instead of a room, they were met with a wide hallway. Amber crystals lit up the walls as they quickly walked through it.

Before long, they came across a fairly large opening, in the middle of which was a big water fountain.

The water fountain was bright and shimmered the room in a bright light. This room was circular, having three different doorways inside of it.

Firstly, there were two doorways without any gates leading from the west and the east toward the fountain.

Finally, north of the fountain was a gated doorway, which was made of a door that looked even more robust.

It was bigger, most likely 30 feet in height. It also had a shine to it this time, so one could tell that it was of higher quality.

As Lyrian and his current team made it into the large open room with the water fountain, they noticed that from the other side of the room, another group of students walked into the room through the other open doorway as well.

As soon as Lyrian noticed them, he slithered his way to the back of his current team without anyone noticing.

'I don't want them to see me yet... I fooled this team, but I might not fool them. There needs to be a fight first before I can reveal myself.' He mused, staying in the back.

"Hey! Bums!" A red-robed kid from the other team shouted with a smile as he saw Lyrian's current team.

"Didn't expect to see you guys already here, especially not you, Minton. How little material did you collect so far, huh?" Jiller retorted back, as the red-robed kid (Minton) and Jiller stared each other down.

"Huh? Little materials? We collected the motherload, didn't we, Kaith?" Minton turned to the staff-wielding kid.

"Sure..." Kaith replied quietly.

"Ya' don't sound too confident!" Jiller barked.

"What'd you say!?" Minton retorted angrily.

"Both of you!" Both Kaith and the blue-robed kid spoke in unison, "Shut up!"

A hush fell over the two of them, and silence spread through the room for a few seconds as the blue-robed kid walked toward the gates.

"I want to advance. There is nothing here but a useless water fountain. Let's not waste any time." He turned, speaking to his team.

Everyone followed along, lining themselves against the wall.

"Hey." Kaith turned toward his team, "Let's go." He flicked his head toward the door before walking over there.

Just like the blue-robed kid's team, his team also followed him closely. Now, both teams lined themselves against each door, ready to push.

Lyrian to the edge of his team, farthest from the other team. He didn't want his identity exposed just yet.

'I am closest to the hinge of the door, so I will provide almost no help. Hopefully... these doors open without me needing to push them from the middle.' He thought to himself, slightly worried.

He looked up at the sheer stature of the gates and doubted even more.

"Heave!" The blue-robed kid suddenly shouted as everyone from both teams readied themselves.

"Ho!"

With full force, everyone drove their strength into the gates and pushed.

*Creak*

The doors opened... but only a centimeter.

"Again! Heave! Ho!"

It didn't budge even an inch. Lyrian sighed, stepping away from the door.

He walked to the center, as his team moved down. They knew that he was far stronger than them, so they weren't reluctant to give him space.

'Hm.' Kaith said to himself, noticing this happen.

A boy next to him wearing a green hood was also slightly amused to see this for some reason.

"Heave! Ho!" 𝓯𝒓𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lyrian Enhanced his legs and arms and pushed as hard as possible.

At that moment, Kaith noticed that the kid in the leaf hood looked a bit familiar.

His eyes widened slightly as the door swung open.

"Wait a second... you are..."
