<span style="font-weight:400">"Hahhh," A deep sigh came from Keith''s mouth, "Today''s ss was a little harder, don''t you think?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"...." However, no one responded to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Come on, why are all of you so silent?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, are you really not going to talk about the elephant in the room?" Alfia red. The guy shook his head,
<span style="font-weight:400">"What elephant in the room?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith?" Everyone''s eyes changed as they stared at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why you gotta say my name like that if I''m the cause?!" This was not his fault...maybe.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Usually, when strange things ur, it''s usually your fault," Alfia answered. She said it with the most certain tone ever. There was no way this wasn''t his fault.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed," Faelyn nodded. Thesest few days, Faelyn had opened up to Keith. After the incident, it seemed that distance they had shortened by a mile.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This time, it wasn''t me," Keith waved his hand. Don''t look at me with that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How could it not be you? Why did Herrick bring a nt with him?!" Alfia sighed as she pointed at the man!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because he wanted to," Keith shrugged his shoulders. Herrick had brought the nt with him to ss. That was something he didn''t expect as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">The man stared intently at the nt. Anyone could tell he cared for the nt. But it looked more like a wild animal ring intensely at prey.
<span style="font-weight:400">"He''s freaking the other students out," Alfia noticed how some students didn''t dare go near Herrick. That aura was intense.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, do you need water?" Herrick quickly took out a water bottle and poured it into the pot. The bud was really sensitive. If it didn''t have enough sunlight, it would shake around.
<span style="font-weight:400">For water, the bud would start to change color!
<span style="font-weight:400">Listen to what Master Fira said. I have to keep a constant watch over it! If he took a second off of it, it would wilt. There was no way he could let this happen.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did he not get enough sleep?" Carolyn whispered. What made Herrick even more dangerous was the dark eyes he had.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I think he got some. Fira had been watching that nt at night for him," Fira assisted Herrick as much as she could.
<span style="font-weight:400">Aidiun entered ss, "Let''s begin the lecture."
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">During lunch, Herrick joined Keith. As they were going to eat,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here, little Herc, have some water,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Little Herc?" Everyone blinked their eyes. Who''s that?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, that''s the name of my nt," Herrick proudly smirked. Since the nt would be with him all the time, he should give it a name!
<span style="font-weight:400">"...I see," The others didn''t know what to say to improve this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s this?! A beastman holding a nt?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What a joke!" Some students snickered at Herrick.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey!" Alfia''s expression turned dark. How could these people talk about him like that? He was weird. But that didn''t mean they could say anything about him.
<span style="font-weight:400">For Herrick,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Little Herc, do you need more sunlight?!" Herrick quickly rushed to the window, raising the pot to give sunlight.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tch! Weirdo!" The students didn''t look at him any longer as they walked away. The way he was acting was seriously dangerous.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Amazing," "He actually didn''t blow a fuse."
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone was amazed. Herrick would pop his lid and fight those guys. That was what everyone thought. The man definitely heard what they said.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, you''re good now?" Herrick was too focused on his nt to give a damn about them. He turned to Keith,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, can we find a space with sunlight and water?" The table they sat in was nowhere near any of that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure," Keith nodded. Herrick turned to Alfia,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What is it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want your spirits,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?!" "What are you saying?!" Alfia was speechless while Faelyn popped her lid. Asking for Alfia''s spirits?! Was he trying to ask for a fight?
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith sighed, "Herrick, you either exin it or rephrase your words." He understood why he asked this. But the way he said it was just asking for trouble.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Master Fira said that having the wolf and bird there will help little Herc. That''s why I need them to stay on the ind," Besides Fira, the wolf and bird assisted him. It was a team effort.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Sure," Alfia sighed as she understood now.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Princess?!" Faelyn''s eyes widened. How could she agree so easily?! However, Alfia looked up in the sky,
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''ve been wondering whether or not those spirits are mine."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?!" Those spirits are contracted with you. Thest time Faelyn checked, they were with Alfia.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn pat Alfia''s shoulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I feel for you," Carolyn gave her a look of understanding.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you," Alfia said, not hesitating to hug the girl.
