    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you have the eyes in the back of your head?!" Jack couldn''t help but quip. And he wasn''t alone as the others were there. They couldn''t resist the smell and tried to take a bite.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They thought Keith couldn''t sense them. With how focused he was, there was no way. Or so they believed. Keith shook his head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because you guys were breathing heavily. I do have ears." Keithughed. These guys acted like ravenous beasts. Well, one person was.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This was all your fault, Principal!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"My fault?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re the only one who was drooling and growling!" "Yeah!" The others dered. Cadmus''s eyes were something. He was panting like a wild animal!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ugh," Cadmus didn''t know what to say. They were right. Keith shook his head at them as he turned to his oven,


    <span style="font-weight:400">Need to flip them. Keith took out some tongs and flipped the orc steaks over.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, how much longer?" When he opened the oven, the aroma filled the kitchen. That caused all their stomachs to growl.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Until the timer goes off," Keith said with a faint heart as he continued to prepare the other dishes. That caused Cadmus and the rest to sigh.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But after a few minutes,


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ting!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith! It''s done!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Get it out now!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alright." Keithughed as he wore some mitts and was ready to take them out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Have you guys-"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, we did!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We have everything prepared!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." He brought the tray of lemon pepper orc to the table.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Woah, that looks incredible!" Cadmus was in awe of how golden the orc looked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now, let''s eat." Keith dered. Like that, everyone ate. It was a delicious meal.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s this, Keith?" Aidiun pointed at the sd he was eating.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, that''s one of the vegetables I brought back. It''s called smoke melon." He read about it in the library. It was an exotic vegetable that tasted simr to bacon. But it had a little more sweetness to it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Maybe I should try and smoke it. Since the name was smoke melon, it may taste different if he smoke it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Seconds!" Cadmus stated.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Today''s ss will be different from usual," Shiremented. That caused all the student''s ears to perk up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, please get up," Shire shouted. Like that, Keith got up from the ground. He walked up to him, where Shiremented,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"All of you are weaker than Keith."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!" Wait, what?! Keith looked at Shire, wondering what he meant. You call me up here to say something like that?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith turned to the students. Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared at him. If looks could kill, he would be dead ten times over.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, you will be fighting with Scarlet or Alfia, the best magicians in this ss." Shire smiled.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Even though you two are considered the best magicians in the grade, you guys are worse than the representative.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh." Keith wanted to cry now. How could he say something like that? He turned to Alfia and Scarlet. The two of them were eyeing Keith down like no tomorrow! They looked like wild animals, ready to pounce on him!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Shire was really pouring gasoline into the fire! And it wasn''t like a drizzle. He took a gallon and chucked the whole damn thing into the fire!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Representative Keith, please choose one of them."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do I really have to do that?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Actually. You don''t have to choose. Let''s have you face off against both." Shire pped his hands together. That was an excellent idea!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Fight the two of them?! He ain''t superhuman! Why did he have to fight with those two monsters?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are the two of you fine with that?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course," "Fine." Their eyes turned even sharper than before!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Gulp!" Why?! Was this professor trying to screw him over?! What is this?! Fighting the two of them at once?! This was a death sentence! He looked at Carolyn, wondering if she had any way to solve his predicament. However, Carolyn and the rest saluted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Goodbye! Even they were surprised by this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">So I''m alone in this. Keith looked up at the sky.
