    <span style="font-weight:400">It took some time before Keith arrived at the Bradley estate. The guards looked at Keith strangely, "Wee back, Young Master Keith."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah," Keith nodded as he stepped into the estate. When he did,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!" "Ho!" "Po!" Fira, Aria, and Mir were the three toe and greet him! Keith hugged the three,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m back!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!" Camelia and Lionel soon came after,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma," Keith greeted the two.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Lionel suggested, "Let''s go in and talk,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Keith nodded and started to walk. But when he did, Lionel and Camelia stared at him strangely,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, are you alright?" Camelia noticed how he walked weirdly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith chuckled, "I''m training right now,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''ll exin when we get into the living room, Grandma," Like that, they continued to walk. Keith continued to do it one leg at a time. Keith entered the living room and dropped onto the sofa.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s going on?" Lionel questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Grandpa Cadmus gave me these bracelets to help me train and learn how to use gravity magic," Keith raised his hand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can I see it, Keith?" Lionel asked. Keith nodded as he took off the bracelet and handed it to Lionel,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, this increases the gravity around you," Lionel felt the change.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And you''re supposed to wear these all the time?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This is good training," Lionel took the bracelet off and handed it back to Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How did the test go, Keith?" Camelia questioned. Now that the reason for his weird walking was out of the way, it was time to ask the normal questions.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It was easy," Keith answered with a smile. He talked about the test that he took. And when they heard that, they shook their heads,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Cadmus always devises these weird tests."


    <span style="font-weight:400">The two shook their heads. Keith stared at them. I guess Grandpa Cadmus did something weird for them as well. Keith continued, "But thest test was annoying. I had to fight with Grandpa Cadmus,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">His words caused Camelia and Lionel''s eyes to widen!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The principal fought with you?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Keith nodded, "I thought it was overkill. I was about tond a punch, but he sted my face with fire," Keith wasn''t going to let this go.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think my hair is still singed," Keith touched the ends of his hair. He smelled smoky.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You took him down?!" That was something they couldn''t believe. Keith exined,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I threw some cookies in his face and burned them to ash. That caused him to lose focus." The entire process was easy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." You threw cookies in his face? And then you burned it up? That was how he got a hit in? Lionel and Camelia looked at one another. It seemed Keith did a feat in the making!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith! How could you burn cookies!" Fira jumped at Keith''s face, grabbing his cheeks. What he said was sphemy!


    <span style="font-weight:400">How could he burn cookies?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It was to pass the test!" He couldn''t pull her off since it was hard to move his hands.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Lionel and Camelia stared at the sight.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">While Keith got scolded by the spirit, Cadmus and the other proctors discussed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Today is the final day. Let''s decide where everyone should go," It was time to ce these people into sses.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think we should agree those who got half marks on the second tests should be ced in D-ss or lower?" Sohma questioned. The other proctors nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">After a while,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That should be all. Now we need to decide who should be in S-ss." That was the hardest part,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think these three are no-brainers in S-ss," Cadmus stated as he pointed at three papers.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The elf princess Alfia, Keith Freed, and Gabriel Ejinhard are perfect candidates for S-ss. Are there any objections?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">No one disagreed with that. The three''s skills were high, perfect to be in S-ss.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think we can also add the royals from the other kingdoms. They stood outpared to others," The proctors added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Also, the sole heir to the Rustchil household is strong. We need to add her to the S-ss," Everyone continued to talk about it. But after a while, it was decided,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This batch of students is by far the strongest," Sohmamented. There were a lot of jewels in the S-ss. But once he said this,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now it''s time to decide on this year''s representative," When that was said, everyone''s expression turned stern.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Who do you think stood out?" Sohma asked the proctors.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I would say the nine-tail fox princess in my group,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The demon princess for me,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I would say the dragon priestess for me,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The young master of the Freed household is a great choice as well."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Each proctor gave their idea.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What about the elf princess and the beast kingdom''s princess? We can''t forget about Princess Carolyn."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Those three are great talents. But if we''re choosing the representative, theyck a certain trait,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see," The proctor couldn''t argue with that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s increase the requirement." Since all these students excelled, it was time to up the prerequisites,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This year''s representative should excel at everything rather than one thing, don''t you think?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If we use this requirement, the dwarf prince and Beastman prince are out. They excel in the physical department. But they need work in the magic department."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then the dragon priestess should be one of the candidates. She has the highestbat abilities in both physique and magic,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The same could be said about the demon princess. She''s the same as well."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I want to add the nine-tail fox princess. She might be a little lower than the others. But she knows how to use ice magic. This makes up for it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Hearing this, the proctors clutched their heads, "They are not giving us an easy time to decide!" Usually, there would be only one person who stood outpared to the others. But there were a few this time!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Aidiun, who do you think should be the representative?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah! You haven''t said anything yet!" While everyone was having a tough time, Aidiun was silent.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think Marquis Freed''s son is a better choice. Compared to the others, he''s more well-rounded than the rest,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" The proctors were surprised he would bring up Keith''s name.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But he''s weakpared to others," Some watched the scene of Keith''s tests. He was alright. But it wasn''t shy like the others.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He''s not," Cadmus stated with a calm expression. That caused the proctors to give him a weird stare. Sohma grabbed his head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Exin, or people would think you''re ying favorites,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Cadmus exined, "Keith would be the best choice out of all of them. He''s the most all-rounded, and he''s holding back by a lotpared to others,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, what?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Cadmus turned to Sohma, "Keith managed to hit me,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" Sohma blinked his eyes, "Were you holding back?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes. But I used about half my strength when I made the barrier. But Keith still managed tond one hit," Even if he was on the defensive, Keithnded a clean hit on him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." The proctors said nothing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I guess we found this year''s representative,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," The others nodded their heads. Sohma added, "And he''s the least likely to try to use that title for personal gain." Knowing his personality was a plus as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmmhmm," Cadmus nodded. Keith was the calmest person ever.
