    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ahem, Everyone! I have a special announcement!" Keith pped his hands together. Most of them were resting in the main lobby of the mansion.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." "What''s with the silence?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The expression you had when you returned said it all." Carolyn and the rest noticed Keith''s expression when he returned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith coughed. Was it really that noticeable?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Jack was the first to ask, "Is it going to be a new dish?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith shook his head, "No. It''s not going to be a new dish. Come to the dining room. Jack, call Arlo and Gabriel."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alright." Like that, everyone was brought to the dining room.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you want to talk about, Keith?" Gabriel tilted his head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I called all of you here because we have another person joining our ind," Keith stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" The others tilted their heads. Someone wants to join the ind? This was surprising since no one wanted to join since Gabriel and Arlo.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm! And it''s time to introduce him!" Keith pped his hands again. When he did that, the person entered the room. The expressions on everyone''s faces changed when they saw who it was.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why is he joining?!" Jack was the first to say that as he pointed at the person. But that caused the person to scoff,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What about it?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I know you guys are surprised. But let''s wee Herrick to the ind!" Herrick was the one who was going to join their ind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">There were no ps. Just an eerie and awkward silence.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Figures. Keith sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, can we speak for a moment?" This was not a request. Jack and Gabriel grabbed him from the side. Sarah turned to Herrick,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Please wait here for a moment, Herrick. Also, please have some refreshments." She turned to Fira, "Fira, can you get the cookies and tea?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" Fira nodded as she flew off. Like that, everyone went to Keith''s room.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you do the "What''s the matter?!" Do we need to tell you what we want to say?!" Carolyn spoke for everyone else.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn sighed, "Did you forget what you did to him during ss?" No one forgot about it. That was for sure. This guy had been causing problems one thing after another.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Herrick was the culprit for riling up the beastmen! What was more, Keith clobbered him afterward! There was no doubt in her mind that Herrick had some bad blood against him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Yet this person was joining his ind?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Haven''t you learned the saying, forgive and forget?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Not in this situation!" Carolyn shook him by the cor. Keith added,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Come now. We''re all students! Let''s be civil about it!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This-" Carolyn grabbed her head. She felt she was going to have a migraine from talking with him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Someone tag in!" And that person was Gabriel.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, are you sure you want to do this?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. What could go wrong?" Keithughed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Alright. I will go along with your decision." That caused the other four to tilt their heads,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Gabriel?!" That was not part of the n! Why did he agree with him?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If the leader has spoken, there''s nothing to say." Gabriel sighed. Keith was the owner of the ind. Whatever he said goes. It didn''t really matter how much they disagreed.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alright!" Keith got up from the ground. Carolyn questioned, "But what will happen if he goes crazy?" That was something going through everyone''s mind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Herrick was the type of person who would be considered a time bomb waiting to explode. Anything could rile him up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then Gabriel and I will deal with it." Keith grinned. As Gabriel was going to say something, "What is this?!" A loud shout came from outside.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith blinked, "Wait, who''s the one watching over him again?"


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Without hesitation, Keith dashed to the dining room.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?!" Keith questioned. It was only a minute. No problem could ur in a minute, right?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith and the rest saw Herrick and Fira munching on some cookies. And the beastman stared at the cookie in shock.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Herrick stared at Fira, "What kind of sorcery is this?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s a cookie," Fira stated with a smile.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"A cookie? How could a cookie taste so delicious?!" Herrick was shocked by this round object.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Because I helped make them!" Fira had a proud smile as she dered. She helped Keith out when he baked this batch of cookies.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You can make something like this? What are you?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m the amazing Fira!" Fira stuck her chin up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Are you strong?" "Hmm?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Okay! There will be no sudden attacks!" Keith jumped between the two. He could already tell what Herrick was going to do next. He was going to pump the brakes to that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Herrick paused and nodded. Sighing in relief, Keith turned to the others, and they gave him a peculiar look.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick, you can go choose your room."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Herrick nodded as he started to look at the avable rooms. When he left, Jack held his head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are we going to have never-ending problems?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">He could see it now.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keithughed, "There''s nothing to worry about! Let''s see what he does!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." The others gave him another look.
