<span style="font-weight:400">Oscar was a man of his word as he brought Carolyn to the nurse''s office. The nurse nced at her face, "There''s nothing wrong. The redness can be healed." A light glow appeared on the nurse''s hand. The redness slowly disappeared from his face.
<span style="font-weight:400">Oscar nodded, "Thank you very much."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Brother, you need to leave," Oscar knew Carolyn wouldn''t get any rest or calmness if that person was here.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!" Felix scoffed as he exited. But the moment he was outside, his expression turned livid!
<i><span style="font-weight:400">m!</i>
<span style="font-weight:400">How dare he! How dare he talk to me like that! Remembering what Keith looked like made him furious. A noble lower than him talking down to him? That alone was something he couldn''t stand.
<span style="font-weight:400">But what made it worse was it was Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">There was nothing he could do against him. It was made clear to him when that incident urred. After the incident, the brat should have been taken care of and executed. Yet, that never urred. Julius waved it off and scolded him instead!
<span style="font-weight:400">That made it clear that Keith was higher than him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Prince Felix, why are you acting like this?" Alger turned his head to see Alger there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing. There''s no need to worry,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Did someone anger you?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will go now." Alger looked away, but there was a slight smirk on his face as he walked away.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright! Today''sbat midterm will be a spar against an assistant instructor! You guys just need to survive for 5 minutes." Tennol instructed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Simple and straightforward.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We got this!" Herrick roared. That energy Scarlet and Alfia had was now transferred into the two. It was their bread and butter.
<span style="font-weight:400">"They have too much energy," Alfia shook her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That honey really rejuvenated him." Scarlet chuckled. But as they talked, Keith asked Carolyn, "How are you feeling?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m alright now. There''s nothing to worry about!" Carolyn had a grin as she stared at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Okay,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, it''s Herrick''s turn!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, this is going to be interesting." Let''s see how much he has grown.
<span style="font-weight:400">Herrick went on the offensive from the get-go. The instructor quickly blocked the attacking his way. However, that one blow made his legs buckle.
<span style="font-weight:400">As expected, his strength has increased. It was not a surprise by the beastman''s strength. However,
<span style="font-weight:400">There''s more than just strength! The instructor waved his fist; Herrick wouldn''t care about something like that. His usual was to charge in fiercely.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yet,
<span style="font-weight:400">Hmm?! Herrick dodged and punched him right in the stomach. That definitely made the instructor buckle. Right! The instructor quickly raised his guard but was sted away. It was not the end, as more punches came his way.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What a ferocious speed."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Those punches are so random."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Not so. Herrick threw punches at weird angles. However, it was sharp. Each one was hitting a vital spot. Before Herrick could deal the finishing blow,
<span style="font-weight:400">"I win."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Goodness, you''ve improved so much." The instructorughed. Even he was surprised by how fast Herrick had grown in such a short time. The child was using his brain now.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course!"
<span style="font-weight:400">The instructor got up, "The next one up is Keith!" Another ringer was heading in. Before the match could begin,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hold on a second," Someone had called out, causing everyone to freeze. It was none other than the sword saint Issac. Tennol frowned, "What do you want?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"How about I step in for this one." A voice interrupted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" Everyone froze.
<span style="font-weight:400">Isaac turned to Keith, "Come, I want to be the one to examine you,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re not even an instructor here." Tennol retorted. He wanted to do something.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But I should be more than qualified to fight against him. In addition, it wouldn''t be called a test."
<span style="font-weight:400">"You-"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What does the child think?" Issac asked Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m down."
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Everyone stared at Keith in wonder. How could he say something like that?
<span style="font-weight:400">Oscar and Felix''s expressions changed when they heard that. This was especially so with Felix. Was he nning something like this before? Either way, this was a good thing to watch!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith?! Are you sure?" Tennol questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s not every day that you get to spar with a sword saint. Why not take the chance?" Keith grinned as he stretched his hand back and forth. He had been interested in them. They were considered to be the strongest swordsmen. One was asking for him personally.
<span style="font-weight:400">Who wouldn''t want to take the chance?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Tennol sighed. This would be a good experience for him. He walked over to him, "Use everything that you''ve learned to deal with him."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"And you will be wearing gravity bracelets."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Naturally," Fighting a child without any handicap was just bullying. Keith stretched his hands back and forth as he stood before him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is Keith insane?!" Ophelia muttered to Alfia and the others. Who would want to challenge the sword saint?!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That lucky guy! I wanted to fight him!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Forget, I ask.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith has always been one of those unpredictable types." Keith did things like Herrick and Melor from time to time. He may be reasonable, but these stints show his reckless side.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith took out arge shield and spear. As expected of the sword saint…eh? Issac was across from him, holding a long sword in his left hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Begin!" Tennol shouted.
