<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m surprised he would take these quests." Groa looked down at the quests Keith took. Those quests paid a little.
<span style="font-weight:400">Madison shook her head, "Keith doesn''t care about the coins."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That kid has more than enough coins," Dennis added.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Groa, you''re lucky Keith didn''t go all out against you." Madison shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean?" He didn''t go all out against me? Groa needed more information. What did he mean?
<span style="font-weight:400">"I take it that you didn''t see the fight?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What fight?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You know the duel between the two nobles?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I heard about it. But I didn''t see it." He never saw the fight. But everyone was talking about it like no tomorrow. It seemed the person who fought was crazy intense. He could even use grand-level magic.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, the one you fought was him," Madison revealed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"If that kid used his magic, you would have been toast." Dennis and the others nodded to that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Did I miss something great?!
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">The first quest was to deal with a den of orcs. It was a simple task. Keith continued to head deeper into the forest. The higher the rank, the deeper he had to enter.
<span style="font-weight:400">There they are. Keith smirked as he stared at the orcs. They were minding their own business. It was like the time he fought them before. These monsters were equipped with clubs.
<span style="font-weight:400">I should take them off. Keith should get used to the added speed from the bracelets.
<span style="font-weight:400">Let''s go! Keith dashed off from the tree. He was like a rocket as he sliced off an orc''s head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!" Not letting others react, he fired off multiple magic spears at them, blowing them up one by one! The orcs didn''t have a chance to fight back. Lightning spears came flying at them like no tomorrow!
<span style="font-weight:400">It didn''t take long before Keith wiped the sweat off his face.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Phew, that was pretty difficult." Keithughed. But then he thought about it. I can rece that with orc.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, I need to collect the other things as well. Keith thought in his mind as he quickly dashed off. This was one of many things he had to do.
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">"You sure allowing him to do so many quests was alright?" Groa questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. Keith is usually okay with doing so many quests. And he chose a C-rank and two D-rank." Knowing Keith, he probably aplished them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Madison! I''m back!" Keith waved his hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">Speak of the devil.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, have you aplished them?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm! Here they are!" Keith smiled and summoned all of them here. It was simple.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here are all your coins."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you. I''m going to head home now." Keith waved his hand as he headed back home.
<span style="font-weight:400">"See, I told you he could do it." Madison smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...How many orcs did he take down?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"About 15 from what I saw."
<span style="font-weight:400">Groa turned to Dennis, "You weren''t kidding when you said he was holding back."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Told you."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Why do you sound so happy?
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m home." Keith entered the mansion with a shout. He was happy.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I take it you brought something really delicious home?" Gabrielughed. Whenever he had something delicious, his face would beam like no tomorrow.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I hunted a lot of orcs today," Keith stated proudly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great!" Orc meat was delicious.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''ll make some steak today." It was decided like that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Cool!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''ll go get some vegetables." Keith smiled as he walked out to the garden.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Fira, how are the vegetables?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Delicious!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keithughed, "That''s great."
<span style="font-weight:400">He walked over to the horse, "How are your wounds?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ngeh!" The horse grunted as it walked around Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keithughed, "That''s great. Your wounds are better." He could tell the horse''s wounds were healed for the most part.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ngeh!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then I will let you off the ind."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t get caught again." Keith shook his head. Before he could bring the horse out, "Ngeh!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? What''s the matter?" The horse wasn''t budging from his spot.
<span style="font-weight:400">"He said his hoof still hurts." Fira tranted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see. Then you can stay here for a few more days." Keith scratched his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ngeh."The horse returned to sitting on the ground, eating at the grass. Keith smiled as he headed to the kitchen.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I should make some lemon pepper orc steak. I need some peppercorns and lemon zest." Keith took out a lemon and started to peel the skin off. He diced it into bits.
<span style="font-weight:400">As Keith let the steaks bake in the oven, he got to work on the other dishes. But, "I know you guys are excited, but don''t think about trying to touch it."
