<span style="font-weight:400">"It was nothing." Keith scratched his head. Anyone would have done the same thing.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lionel insisted, "But you should be more careful when you do things like that,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I know. Also, Grandpa. Sorry about using your name at the guards." Keith had used Lionel''s name to help the captives.
<span style="font-weight:400">But Lionel shook his head, "It''s fine."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Master, dinner is prepared," The butler entered. Like that, the butlers and maids brought the dishes to the table.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith smiled, "It looks delicious,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you. The head chef asked whether or not you could give your feedback on his dishes,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure," Whenever he came here, he would help the head chef with his dishes.
<span style="font-weight:400">Camelia smiled, "Thank goodness you ced a White Owl merchant shop in the royal capital."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I knew Grandma and Grandpa would want butter and sugar," Besides a White Forest bakery set up in the royal capital, a White Owl merchant shop was built.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Grandpa, Grandma, can you tell me what the tests are?" Keith questioned. He wanted to figure out what they were.
<span style="font-weight:400">Lionel sighed, "We don''t know,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"The enrollment test changes every year. There''s no way of knowing what the tests are,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Keith thought hard about this. What is Grandpa Cadmus nning?
<span style="font-weight:400">Camelia assured Keith, "Keith, you don''t have to worry about the test too much. Knowing how much the principal wants you to join the academy, there''s no need to be nervous." Cadmus had been talking about it for years. He wanted Keith to join the academy so badly.
<span style="font-weight:400">There was no way he would make a test Keith wouldn''t pass.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re right," Keithughed when he heard that. Cadmus had been bothering him about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">The next day, Keith got up early. He was dressed up and was ready to go. Lionel and Camelia were standing outside,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Remember to be safe out there,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood, Grandma." Keith nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you have enough coins?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm! I have more than enough coins," Keithughed. There was no need to worry about coins now. Lionel stated,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Be prepared for everyone thates your way."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, can I really note with you?" Fira pouted. That was because Aria and she would stay home with Camelia and Lionel.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry. But you can''te with me." Keith had decided to have the two stay behind, "This test will be focused on me. Also, it would be pretty overkill to have the two of you with me."
<span style="font-weight:400">If he had Aria with him during the test, clearing the test would be a breeze.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright," Fira pouted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I made some cookies," Keith took out a jar. That caused her expression to go a 180!
<span style="font-weight:400">"And Mir is here to y with you as well," Keith summoned Mir again. He knew Fira was going to be lonely. Having Mir here would be great.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir jumped at Fira, licking her face.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey! Too much drool!" Firaughed as she tried to stop the licking.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, can you help Grandma with her vegetables? I want her to eat the vegetables you''ve grown."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please help me, Fira," Camelia grasped the little spirit''s hands. She wanted to make a garden. But it wasn''t working at all.
<span style="font-weight:400">Without a spirit, the vegetables wouldn''t grow properly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure! I will help you!" Fira''s expression brightened up,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Behave yourself. Don''t make the garden into a forest," Keith chuckled. The first time he made it, the garden was a forest! That memory alone caused him tough.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith turned to Aria, "Take care of the two of them for me,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho," Aria nodded as she nudged his face,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t worry, I will be careful," This would be the first time Keith would be away from Aria. But he knew he would be okay. With all the training he received, there was no need to fret.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to go now!" Keith waved his hand as he started to walk away. He headed toward the teleportation gate. He saw Gabriel standing there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Gabriel, sorry for beingte," Keith waved his hand. Gabriel smiled, "It''s fine. I got up early a long time ago,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? Why?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I heard you have to wake up early to get bread from the bakery,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"...I see," Long lines were a usual scene. Keith questioned, "Did you get any bread?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I didn''t," Gabriel scratched his head. Even when he lined up, he still couldn''t get any bread.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here," Keith didn''t wait as he took out some bread.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You got some?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course," Keith smiled as he bit into an apple jam bread. Of course, he would have some. He was the boss of the bakery!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now, let''s go to the academy."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Gabriel nodded, and the two walked over to the teleportation gate. The two were handed some coins as they entered the gate.
