    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? Why are you acting like this, Nephele? Mir is a cute animal." Sarah tilted her head as she stared at Mir. Thetter made a goofy expression.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you guys understand he''s a- Mgahh!" Before Nephele could say anything else, Diana smacked her in the head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." No one said a thing as they stared at her with wide eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You guys don''t need to worry about her. She''s having one of her fits again." Diana smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah." The other students understand. It was expected to hear Nephele go crazy from time to time. That was amon urrence.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Big sister!" Nephele wanted to say something, but the re from Diana shut her up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sniff!" Nephele wanted to cry again! Why is big sister so mean?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Like that, everyone sat down and started to eat their breakfast. But Nephele was super worried about Mir. She kept fidgeting around, trying her best not to stare at him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''re going now. Mir, remember to be safe." Keith patted the little snowball on the face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir licked Keith''s face as they headed off. And when they head off,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mir, let''s go y!" Fira suggested.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir was in agreement as he quickly dashed off with the little spirit. Once the two had left for the garden,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Okay, do I have to say it?! Why is such a dangerous creature staying here?!" Nephele looked at the adults in the room. She never thought something so dangerous would be living here! It was still a child, but it was more than deadly!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, Keith tamed it." Cadmus casually answered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He tamed the adult as well."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...." How are you guys so casual about it?! Diana and the three were so calm about it. It was too weird.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Isn''t Keith a national threat?" With so much power, he could probably take anyone out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And that''s the point. Keith doesn''t have the will to do something like that." That was a relief.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"True." Nephele thought about it. Keith is really calm and aloof about everything.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is it really fine not to tell anyone?" It seemed only a select few knew about Mir''s identity.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"His father knows about it, and the king too," Sohma added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s really nothing to worry about."


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">What is the matter with him? While Keith continued to listen to the lecture, he felt something piercing his back. And it was not like a sword was stuck to it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Someone was ring at him like no tomorrow! Keith sighed. What is wrong with Herrick?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Herrick had been weirding him out today. He tried his best to focus on ss. But as he did, the others noticed it as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Is he going through a phase? Keith shook his head. But then came time for Tennol''s ss.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Today, we''re going to be practicing with weapons. Please choose one from the rack." Keith chose a sword.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Eh? You''re going to use a long sword as well? Keith turned and noticed Herrick with one. It was the same one as Keith''s. Herrick usually used a two-handed weapon.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Okay, what are you doing?" Keith was direct as he asked. He was baffled as to why Herrick was doing all of this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"To get stronger."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" How is that making you stronger?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If I can copy you, I can get stronger," Herrick stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith took a deep breath before a long sigh came out. He stated, "Herrick, that''s not how you can get stronger."


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re making yourself worse," Keith said nothing else as he walked away from him. But that caused Herrick to be even more dazed. What does he mean?


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">At the end of the day, Keith shook his head as he headed to Cadmus''s office. When he entered the office, the faculty members smiled, "Student Keith. The principal is in his office. You can go in."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." It was the usual. Keith had beening here for quite some time. They got used to the person here.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith entered the office, "Grandpa Cadmus, we need to have a little talk."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?!" Cadmus was sipping on some tea. He was on break.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Seriously?! Why do you let hime in!" Cadmus stared at the faculty outside! But the faculty backed away. Do you want us to die?! Keith was a walking hazard. There was no way they could deal with someone like that!


    <span style="font-weight:400">The other reason was that Keith already had a reputation as a destroyer. They didn''t want to mess with a guy like that!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Tch!" Cadmus wondered whether or not to put a magic lock on this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, we need to have a talk."
