<span style="font-weight:400">"Those beastmen have gotten even more out of hand," Jack groaned. It seemed he went through something as he was looking through the window of the mansion, trying his best to escape from reality,
<span style="font-weight:400">"What happened?" Keith and Gabriel tilted their heads when they heard that. The group heard about something happening in his ss. The expression on Sarah''s face was something.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Basically, some beastmen caused a riot in the ssroom. Because of that, there was a giant fight," Jack stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s what happened in the ssroom?!" Gabriel blinked a few times.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What happened after that?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Some of us had to stop them before the instructors came. It was annoying." Jack and a few others had to jump in. And those beastmen fought back.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Those dwarves are like that too. No offense, Arlo." It wasn''t only the beastmen. The dwarves were acting up again.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine," Arlo waved his hand, "The dwarves and the beastmen had been acting up in my ss as well."
<span style="font-weight:400">That was a fact.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s clear Herrick and Melor are the ones driving them." It was only those two who could cause all this trouble.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But seriously, what is wrong with the two of them?" Sarah expressed. Why did they have to cause trouble for all of them!
<span style="font-weight:400">"There, there, Sarah." Sarah was about to have a mental breakdown. Seeing this, Fira patted the girl''s shoulders. When she saw the cute creature doing that,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much!" She hugged the little spirit. She soothed her soul!
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what''s the matter?" Carolyn noticed the expression on his face. He suggested, "What if I fight with Herrick?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" That caused the others to tilt their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">"One of my friends said if I defeat Herrick in a one-on-one fight, then all of this would stop," Keith exined. Nina''s words had beening to his mind.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick is following the rule of strength above all. If someone stronger beat him, he would stop all of this." Melor would probably follow suit as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But you don''t want that," Carolyn stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t think about it. You don''t want to deck the guy out," Carolyn understood Keith''s mindset. He wasn''t the type to use his fist. Well, for the most part.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But-"
<span style="font-weight:400">"No buts! I have spoken!" Carolyn dered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We just need to think about something else to deal with them." There was no need to have Keith make a move.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m the same. I don''t think you should make a move. You might actually make it even worse," Gabriel added.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" Keith tilted his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What would happen if you beat up a prince after the damage you caused to Todd''s family?" Gabriel stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith went crazy as he stormed into a mansion and half-destroyed it. That was insane. But what happened in the fight was something. He beat them up left and right. What would people think if Keith murdered Herrick?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"You might cause a war," Carolyn stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"True," Jack nodded to that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That is definitely the case."
<span style="font-weight:400">"You guys are acting like I''m going to kill him!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You could." All of them quipped. There was nothing to be said about it. Keith could easily blow Herrick up by mistake!
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, you don''t need to focus on him so much. Focus on your cart," Carolyn and the rest smiled. Keith already had a lot on his te. There was no need to make a move.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright," Keith sighed. There was no need to say anything about it. Keith took a big sigh. They continued to talk for some time before they had dinner.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, ss. Today, we''ll be having a spar with one another." Tennol stated as he pped his hands together. It had be the usual for all of them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You guys can choose who you want as your sparring partner," Tennol stated. His eyes were like a hawk. It was clear he was watching over them. More specifically, Melor and Herrick.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, do you want to spar with me?" Gabriel questioned. Keith shook his head,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry, but I have someone in mind today." He turned to Arlo, "Arlo, let''s spar."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, Leader!" Arlo nodded his head when he heard that. But for the rest, they were confused.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why would Keith want to spar with a wimp like that?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Doesn''t he know he''s a halfling?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What is wrong with him?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why is he so kind to him?"
<span style="font-weight:400">The other students started to murmur. Keith ignored them as he focused on Arlo,
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want to see how much you have improved." He had been practicing with Arlo. But it was mostly Gabriel and Jack who did most of it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith had been focusing on his cart and such.
