    <span style="font-weight:400">The following day, Keith and Diana prepared breakfast for everyone. As the duo did so, the great spirit questioned, “Keith, is this enough?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Nope! Not enough!” We have to make a lot! Diana nodded as she continued to cook. This whole cooking took an extra half an hour, but it was worth it. The amount of food ced on the table was staggering, enough to feed a small army. The expression from everyone was...calm?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Well, it was quite the opposite.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Heh, I made a lot today. Eat up and be prepared for the midterm!” Keith grinned. Today was the written portion of the midterm.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...” Everyone was silent. Cadmus tilted his head, “What’s going on? Why are you guys acting like this?” The dragon didn’t wait as he stabbed a sausage.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t you know today is the day?” Aidiun held his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">While they were, Herrick was mumbling something,


    <span style="font-weight:400">“There are different types of magic in this world. The elemental magic is fire-water-wind-earth-lightning-” It was quite a sight since he wouldn’t say these things either. His eyes were that of a zombie.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He wasn’t the only one: Scarlet and Alfia had books on the table and were trying to review some information. Jack and Arlo were stuttering as they prayed. That was how concerned they were.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Now, now, everyone. Let’s not be so stressed about it.” Keith pped his hand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“How can we not? Are you kidding me?” Everyone couldn’t get it out of their mind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Professor Aidiun had taught us everything we know.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“All of the questions on the midterms are based on the lectures that we have done,” Aidiun nodded. They were not going to give them a curve ball.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...Yeah.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“But.” The others were still doubts about this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Didn’t you guys work your butts off?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“…Mmhmm.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Then there’s no need to worry about whether or not you guys are going to fail. You guys will pass.” Keith grinned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“How could you be so damn positive?!” Jack retorted. This guy was walking sunshine and rainbows. There was a discrepancy since the other side was dark and gloomy.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Are you scared you’re going to fail, Leader?” Arlo questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No.” Keith scoffed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“That’s because I’m going to ace the thing.” Keith dered. There were no doubts about him failing, “Like worse-case, if I do fail, then I will do better on the other things. Move on and be done with it.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“…” The others went silent.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“We got this; there’s really nothing to worry about.” Gabriel was the other person who was calm about this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm! Leader’s right!” Arlo stabbed a pancake and started to eat it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Sarah followed his actions, “Mmhmm! We’ve been practicing; we don’t need to worry about anything.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">One by one, everyone started to eat. Cadmus shook his head, “Why couldn’t you make the worry more? I could have-”


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">Shing!</i>


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Shut your mouth!” Diana’s hollow eyes said everything as she red at the guy. A kitchen knife was at his throat. How dare you say something like that? Do you want to make them anxious again?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Keith, are you going to be alright?” Fira tilted her head. That caused the man to grin, “We’ll be fine.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">After they finished their food, it was time to set off. When they walked in the hallway, everyone could see the students walking left and right in anxiety.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Wow, everyone is acting like this is the end of the world,” Some people even banged their heads on the wall.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What do you expect? Everyone is quite frightened.” Alfia shook her head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Arlo, are you?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No, I’ve studied enough!” Arlo raised his fist into the air. Since Keith had calmed them down, he felt more prepared than anything. What he said was right; they studied a lot. Senior Angelica helped him out so much as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“This guy has infected you too much.” Alfia shook her head. Herrick and Melor sighed, “We tried our best to stop it, but it was too strong.” Keith effect was quite a powerful phenomenon.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hey!” Keith red, “I should be saying that!” Herrick and Melor taught Arlo when they practiced. He was trying his best not to make him into a musclehead.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Anyways, the four of you, good luck! You guys got this!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you.” The group nodded as they headed to ss. Keith and the others entered; the same thing urring outside was also happening inside.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ophelia, how are you feeling?” She was sitting at her desk with Eirlys; there was definitely some dark aura around them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">The dragon girl nodded, “I feel like I’m going to fail this test.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Aww, don’t think like that; you got this.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Where does all that optimisme from?” Well, he was optimistic about everything.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“That’s what we all said?! This guy is just damn optimistic!” Herrick muttered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Yo, Chn, are you guys going to be fine?” Keith called out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hmpf. Of course I am. The question is whether you are, ker.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hey!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well, I’m going to do fine,” Keith grinned. But that caused the others in the ssroom to contort. Where does this blind confidencee from?


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">While they talked, Carolyn entered the room,


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’m going to beat you.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Of really?” Keith grinned, “When have you everyone beaten me at something?


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well, I’m going to do so now.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Bring it on.”
