<span style="font-weight:400">"Throughout the entire battle, I''ve been nothing but a burden to the others," Frustration. Arlo couldn''t help but feel this way.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith tilted his head. He turned to Jack, who shook his head. He sighed,
<span style="font-weight:400">"You weren''t the problem, Arlo. You just needed to practice before you can do anything." That was something Arlo needed. As they told him before, Arlo was less experienced than the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was not surprising for Arlo to make mistakes.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But I made such a big mistake in the boss room." Arlo understood that it was his fault. He hesitated. And the golem noticed. It took him out, causing the formation to break.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Arlo, you don''t seem to understand your role on that team." Keith sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re the gear that keeps the team functioning." Keith realized it. Arlo was the perfect person for that team.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Jack tilted his head, confused as well. Gabriel seemed to understand what he meant,
<span style="font-weight:400">"You mean his awareness of being weak?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" "Isn''t that a weakness?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes." Keith nodded, "However, you can turn that weakness into a strength." Turning to Jack, "Do you remember any of Arlo''s actions?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now that you mention it, Arlo always did say when he was tired and when it was too dangerous," Jack recalled Arlo''s actions. He was straightforward with the group.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Arlo, you''re right to say you''re weak. But that doesn''t mean it can''t be used as an advantage. Unlike the others, you keep them in check."
<span style="font-weight:400">"But-"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You really think the others know restraint?" Keith questioned with a straight face. Carolyn, Sarah, and Jack had no words that meant stop in their brain.
<span style="font-weight:400">They would have charged in like maniacs. They didn''t have enough experience to know when to hold back.
<span style="font-weight:400">"If you weren''t there, I doubt they would even get close to the boss room." With Arlo there, they had to ount for his stamina. As he rested, the others rested as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Arlo was silent.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Arlo, your strong suit lies elsewhere. Excel at that."
<span style="font-weight:400">"That is exactly the case, Student Arlo." Aidiun entered the bathroom as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what you said is correct." Aidiun dipped himself into the water, "When we were evaluating everyone, what we rated you highly was the ability to keep a level head in dangerous situations."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see."
<span style="font-weight:400">"See. There''s no need to worry about it." Keith ced a towel on his face before asking,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Professor Aidiun, what did I get?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Perfect score." Aidiun smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright!" Keith pumped his fist.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But why did you have to take the gates? We were all surprised." Aidiun couldn''t help but chuckle remembering it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because it made it so much easier," Keith said with a proud expression.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You should have seen everyone''s face." Aidiun shook his head. His face was something as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m telling you, they should have taken the door off as well." Keith shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." They''re not like you, you monster!
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">The group got out of the shower, and when they did, they saw Cadmus and Sohma in front of the kitchen.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hi, Grandpa Cadmus!" Keith had a big grin. But what Keith got was a pinch to his cheeks!
<span style="font-weight:400">"You little brat?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mggghhh!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You destroy my precious golems!" Cadmus continued to smoosh Keith''s face with a dark grin!
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s your fault! How could you send all of that into a dungeon?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"How dare you talk to your principal like that?!" Cadmus continued to pinch his cheeks like no tomorrow.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Says the one trying to kill us!" Keith was ready to fight with him to the death! But Carolyn stated,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Enough fighting, you two. We have more important matters to deal with!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh yeah." Cadmus stopped pinching, "What have you cooked for us?" Everyone was quite interested.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Set the table first. I will bring the meat out." Keith rubbed his cheeks.
<span style="font-weight:400">Like that, everyone got to work on moving everything to the table. When that happened, Keith opened the oven. Perfect.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here it is. Orc lord roast with mixed vegetables." Keith ced the pan down. They marveled at the food.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Smells so good!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tasty." Cadmus drooled as he gazed at the roast.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let me cut it." Keith had a knife and fork ready. When Keith had sliced the meat, the juices from the meat splurted out!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Meat juice fireworks!" It was so beautiful!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s taste it." Like that, everyone started to eat it. When they did, it felt like heaven was on their tongue!
<span style="font-weight:400">"So tender!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"How could it taste so good?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What did you put in it?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone couldn''t help but gorge on the meat like no tomorrow. Keith was the same as well. He couldn''t contain his joy. This meat was incredible.
<span style="font-weight:400">"My body feels so weird!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone stared at their body to see their wounds healing!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Incredible!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t feel tired at all!" Jack started to wave his arms back and forth. This was something they never felt before.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What the?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Orc lords have a high regenerative factor." Cadmus thought about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Diana and I tasted it before. But this is so much better." Keithughed. He could feel the healing factor so much stronger than before.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Diana, is there something the matter?'' Keith turned to Diana. She was silent as she ate the meat.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, nothing. I was surprised by how delicious it was."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see."
