<span style="font-weight:400">"Hah!" Herrick roared as he swung his sword! Melor quickly ducked away from his attack. That was not the end! Herrick swung his sword upwards, ready for a double sh.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!" Melor blocked it with his hammer. That was not enough. The force in Herrick''s sword made Melor let go of his hammer.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You lose," Herrick grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Darn it," Melor cursed as he grabbed Herrick''s hand, "How did you get so strong?!" Herrick and Melor sparred with one another since the start of the academy. Fighting him for so long made him understand how strong he was. However, this was on a whole other level than before!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Heh!" Herrick chuckled, "That''s because I have awakened mytent potential."
<span style="font-weight:400">Awakentent potential? Melor didn''t believe that. He would have awakened a long time ago!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did watching that nt really make you this strong?" Most of Herrick''s time had been watching over that nt.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you dare talk down about Lttile Herc!" Herrick''s eyes turned bloodthirsty.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sheesh, I was joking. Calm down." Melor took a step back. This was the usual reaction. Talking down about the nt in front of Herrick was asking for trouble.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But how did Keith get you to be like this?" This was something he realized; Keith was the one who caused Herrick to be like this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Focus?" Herrick looked up. Even when Keith exined it to him, Herrick got about half of it. The rest went out his other ear.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Gotta ask him to train me up," Melor was curious about what he did.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You know. I kinda understood what Keith is," Herrick sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"He''s on a different levelpared to the rest of us. And I have epted that." There was one thing Herrick understood. Keith was in a different ss than him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What the?! Are you the same prideful lions?! Who are you?!" Melor blinked, confused. He would never say something like that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Just because I ept it doesn''t mean I won''t catch up to him!" Now that he understood where Keith was, it was time to catch up to him! There was no way he could stay where he was.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...I want to spar with Keith now." Melor was too eager. Seeing how his best friend had increased so much, he wanted to do the same thing.
<span style="font-weight:400">"He wouldn''t mind," Keith said before that Melor was fine with him entering the ind. As they talked,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Herrick and Melor turned around. Before they knew it, the two were surrounded by a group of people! Herrick and Melor nced before they went back to back. These guys were looking for a brawl. That was the look they had.
<span style="font-weight:400">Before they were about to fight,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait a minute."
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here are your orders!" Keith smiled as he handed the order over to the customers. It was smooth sailing. That was because there were two people watching over him. Besides, some adventurers watched over him; two others did the same.
<span style="font-weight:400">Nephele and Aria were watching from the skies. The two never stopped watching over him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Aria, you don''t need to stay up there. You cane down. Keith mind-talked to the owl.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith, can''t Ie down as well?! Through wind magic, Nephele sent a message. However, Keith''s smile widened. The customer was confused.
<span style="font-weight:400">Nephele understood; that was a no!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aria came flying down from the skies. That spooked the customers. The adventurers were ready to fight. However, Keith waved his hand, "Please don''t be rmed. She is my familiar." When that was said, the customers softened.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Woah, to think you have such a familiar!" Cedric stared at the owl.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It was originally my father. However, he gave it to me when I enrolled in the academy." Keith exined.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see. So your father gave it to you for protection. That''s a pretty bold move," Cedricmented.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith picked up some meat and ced it on a te. With that, Aria started to eat.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey, Boss!" Keith looked up to see Fin and Lin.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Mr.Fin, Mr.Lin. Do you want your regr orders?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course." "Thank you." The two nodded. Like that, Keith started to cook. While he did,
<span style="font-weight:400">"What happened to the two of you? You guys looked like you went through a tornado?" Cedric frowned. The expression on the two''s faces was something.
