<span style="font-weight:400">"..." "..." There was only silence at the training ground.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jack was clearly outmatched. But they didn''t think Keith would end him with one move! Derek and Michael nodded their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">Little Brother is so cool!
<span style="font-weight:400">That''s my disciple!
<span style="font-weight:400">"How?" Jack was still in disbelief that he was defeated like that. He didn''t want to ept it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You lost because you didn''t practice at all."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Youcked stamina at the end. And your moves were predictable." Keith stated calmly.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jack jumped around like a madman, trying to take him out with one blow. But that drained his stamina.
<span style="font-weight:400">"And your form had too many ws.
<span style="font-weight:400">What was more, it was clear Jack didn''t practice at all. His form was sloppy, and his moves were sluggish. He probably used his physical prowess to take everyone out.
<span style="font-weight:400">But when he faced someone like Keith, there was no way he could win.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s okay to be prideful. But you have to back it up with skills."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Jack didn''t say anything. Keith didn''t say anything either as he walked toward the group.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you for saying those words, Keith." Ryan thanked him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith shook his head, "It''s fine. To be honest, I think I was a little too harsh on him."
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, it was perfect. Jack needs to face reality." Ryan sighed as he added,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can you help my daughter with her training too?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." Keith didn''t mind.
<span style="font-weight:400">He turned to Sarah, who shouted, "Best regards!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Keith nodded as he started to practice with Sarah. While he was doing that,
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re youngest is really mature. It''s like I''m talking with an adult." Ryanughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"He''s the most sensible out of everyone." Williamughed. He realized it a long time ago.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith acted mature for his age.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">The sparringsted a few hours. But it was time to set off again. When they were about to leave,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pleasee again when you have time."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." William nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can we write, Keith?" Sarah asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, I don''t mind." Sarah''s expression brightened.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey." It was Jack''s turn, "Can I face you again?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want to face you again. But I can''t right now. Not as I am." Jack stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright." Keith smiled. Jack also let out a smile. There was no need to say anything as the carriage set off again.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith didn''t think much about it. But Sophia held her head, "It seemed my son charmed ady."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did I?" Keith questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes. Yes, you did. Do you not understand how cute you look?" Sophia could see it in Sarah''s eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith shrugged, "It might just be puppy love." Keith noticed how Sarah looked at him as well. But he knew it was probably a phase.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." No one said a thing. But then Keith asked,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mother, am I abnormal?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Why do you ask that?
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because I''m taller than most children my age." Keith realized it. He was taller than Jack and Sarah.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jack was the same age as him. But he was about half a head shorter than him!
<span style="font-weight:400">That was a surprise.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith was about the same height as Derek as well! William exined, "That''s because we live in a colder region. Because of that, you might be taller than others."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see!" Keith pped his hands together. It was the Bergmann''s Rule. The colder the region, therger the species would be. Derek questioned,
<span style="font-weight:400">"How much longer are we going to travel?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"A few more days." "Alright."
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith looked out the window and saw that Barton hade next to the carriage,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Barton, here." Keith handed a carrot to the horse.
<span style="font-weight:400">Barton happily ate it as he licked Keith''s face afterward.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No problem. d you like it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kid, you''re going to take my horse away." Michael shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No way. Barton likes you a lot. You don''t have to worry about anything." Keith shrugged him off. But,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ngeh!" Barton flicked his mane, pping Michael in the face! Michael''s eyes were twitching as he stared at Keith. Are you sure, kid?! It doesn''t seem that way for me!
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Kid, how about you ride Barton?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Really?!" Keith''s eyes brightened. He turned to Sophia,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can I, Mother?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Go for it." Hearing that, Michael jumped off his horse and onto the carriage, sitting next to the coachman.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright!" Keith was going to ask for the carriage to stop. But there was no need to. Barton lowered his head, letting Keith jump on his back.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m off!" Keith didn''t wait as he jumped onto the horse.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, don''t get too far away from us, okay?" Sophia reminded the child.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith nodded, "Understood! Let''s go, Barton!" Keith held onto his leash, and Barton set off!
<span style="font-weight:400">Barton was like a bolt of lightning as he ran!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yahoo!" Keith screamed as he rode Barton. He was happy and excited.
<span style="font-weight:400">William looked at his son and the horse. Turning to Michael, "Has he ever gone that fast for you?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Don''t ask."
<span style="font-weight:400">"...I see." William shook his head,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t ever say that''s your horse."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Michael had the darkest expression of his life! And he had no retort to that!
