    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hah!" Carolyn roared as she fired her magic again at the target! Each and every single time she used that magic, her firepower increased! Like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it bes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">What Senior Alger said is correct. That only caused the girl to sigh. Senior Alger really knows a lot about this. Compared to her, she knew nothing about her abilities. She remembered what Alger had told her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was fate that we were brought together.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She thought it was ridiculous at first. But not so much now when the prince knew so much. As she mulled over her abilities, a shadow crept behind her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why are youying your head down like that? You''re going to get it dirty." Keith was looking down.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn''s eyes widened as she quickly got up, "How did you get in here?!" Keith didn''t have permission to enter and leave this ind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Tristan, let me in." Keith grinned. He just needed to ask him. Quick and straightforward, the guy was allowed ess.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Carolyn looked at him strangely.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What? Am I not weed?" Keith tilted his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course, you''re not. It''s just- what''s that smell?!" Carolyn started to sniff like a dog. That was when Keith ced something before her, "And I even bought you some food. But I can go if you don''t want me to be here." His body was directed to the door, ready to leave. But Carolyn grabbed his leg,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What are you saying? You can stay!" Her lips arched upwards as she stared at the box. There was no way she was going to say no to free food.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Here, I made some of your favorites." Keith opened the lunchbox up for her. That was when she didn''t hesitate to grab the fork and knife. It was time to eat her fill.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I can''t get enough of this!" She was missing this! As Keith watched her eat, he brought a bottle, "Chew. Seriously, you''ll choke if you continue to eat like that."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mngh!" Carolyn''s eyes widened as she patted her chest, trying her best to push that food down! That was when a cup of tea was beside her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank goodness. I thought I was going to die."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Seriously, you need to be more careful."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I know. But it''s easier with you here." Carolynughed, "So, how have you been?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good. But I should be asking you this. I heard you were going out to hunt monsters."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Tristan needs to stop telling you these things." Carolyn pouted. She knew who bbed about her training. But that didn''t stop her from eating. After she had finished her meal, "I feel so stuffed."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I added a lot of meat into it." This girl was quite the meat lover.


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


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I heard that you had an argument with Senior Alger."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You heard about that?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. Why did you do that?" Carolyn was confused. It was more confusing for Keith being the one to start it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...He''s strange."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How is he strange?" Carolyn tilted her head. The boy exined, "It''s just a feeling I got from him."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then you shouldn''t have done that. How could you do that based on your feelings?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I do that most of the time." Keith scoffed, "And I take it that you also know him?" From how she spoke, it seemed so.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Senior Alger is my teacher."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? You have a guy like that as your teacher?!" Keith blinked, "You should choose someone else!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn frowned, "I can handle myself. Senior Alger is someone I can trust." Alger had been helping her all the time. That was how she got this strong.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you sure? You''ve always been a weird child."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you think I can''t handle myself?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s not what I''m saying."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re implying it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"…" Keith and Carolyn stared at one another. Neither one of them was going to back down from this. But when she turned her head away, she felt a slight tingle from her back. That was when she noticed the words.


    <span style="font-weight:400">My bad. I really didn''t mean it like that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn turned, "Did you have to do something like that? We''re not kids anymore." This was a little thing they did when they were kid. Whenever Carolyn pouted, Keith would write on her back to apologize. She would do the same as well. Well, she started this whole thing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But that helped me." Keith chuckled, adding, "I didn''t mean it like that. But I think you should be wary of him."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I know you worried, but you shouldn''t. You only met the guy once. Give him a chance."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No way." Keith shook his head, "Also, you need to remember to pace yourself."


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith patted the girl on the head as he got up, "Be safe."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You too." Keith headed over to the gate. What he didn''t know was Carolyn staring at his back.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I''m getting close.
