<span style="font-weight:400">“Herrick, Melor! Chase after him!” Alfia’s expression paled. Keith usually stayed outside during this time. This was an oversight on their part.
<span style="font-weight:400">He was thest person who should hear this.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith! Don’t do anything foolish!” “Yeah! Don’t do anything-Dammit! He’s too far away,” The man had dashed away like lightning! And he had already entered the portal.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Where is he even going?!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Where do you think he’s going?!” Gabriel groaned. There was only one ce he could be heading to right now!
<span style="font-weight:400">Where could that bastard be?! Keith nced ferociously around the school. It hadn’t been long since sses had ended. The guy should still be roaming around the academy!
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith, why are you running around like that?” Maria called out to the guy. With how he ran around like a madman, there was no way she wouldn’t call out. Never had she seen him quite distraught like this.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Where is he?!” Keith grabbed onto Maria’s shoulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Who?!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alger!” Keith’s eyes were bloodshot and red. That gaze caused Maria to flinch.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Umm, he should be in his ssroom talking with his ssmates,” When that was said, Keith immediately dashed over to the ssroom. But as he did so, Maria took a deep breath. What was going on? She had never felt this way before.
<span style="font-weight:400">Such anger and rage. As she wondered,
<span style="font-weight:400">“Maria! Did you know where Keith went?!” Gabriel and the two quickly arrived.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, to Alger’s ssroom.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Dear god, no.” The three’s expressions paled. But it was already toote as a giant sound came from a room!
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith was in front of the door and opened it to see Alger talking to a group of people. They were all looking at the guy right now since he opened the door so loudly.
<span style="font-weight:400">You! With no hesitation, Keith appeared before Alger and punched the guy in the face! That punch sent him flying upwards into the tables.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...” Everyone froze. No one expected fists to be thrown from the get-go!
<span style="font-weight:400">“How dare-” One student wanted to say something but froze.
<span style="font-weight:400">Beast? Monster? What he was staring at was a crazed monstrosity.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Screw off before I send you flying,” The amount of pressure Keith realized made everyone in the room gulp. They didn’t make a sound before this man. The beast’s eyes were locked onto him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith stepped forward; as he did, the ground shook! He picked up the guy by the cor and then mmed him into the wall, “You piece of garbage!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You’re trying to use Carolyn in your twisted game!” Keith growled as he mmed the guy’s face into the wall, indenting it into it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith, cool it!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You’re going to kill him!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“We know how you feel, but you need to stop!”
<span style="font-weight:400">The three had arrived barely in the knick of time. Each one held him, trying to pull him back. But his eyes were ferocious.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Crap! How is he this strong?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Chill out!”
<span style="font-weight:400">But as the trio continued to hold him back,
<span style="font-weight:400">p!
<span style="font-weight:400">“What do you think you’re doing?!” Carolyn shouted as she stared at the boy. Keith calmed down, but then he retorted, “I’m going to end that bastard!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“No, you’re not. He’s my fiancee!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you seriously siding with a guy that’s only using you?!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“How is he using me? You don’t even know what is going on,” Carolyn retorted, “You’re overstepping your boundaries.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Do you understand how-” Before Keith could say anything else, another p rang!
<span style="font-weight:400">“You!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Let me make it clear for you right here and now, Keith Freed. I loathe you! I never want you to approach me again!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” Keith’s expression froze. However, Carolyn didn’t mind it as she picked Alger up, “Let’s go to the nurse’s office."
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you.” Alger nodded as he slowly got up from the ground. He may look weak outside. However, inside, he was ted. Carolyn was his and his alone. Her wordsst time still made him doubt, but not now.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...” Keith stood there motionless. Gabriel and the two didn’t know what to say either. That was when someone took his hand. Keith looked down to see it was Krystal.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Take a deep breath,” She could tell that a million thoughts were probably going through his head right now.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...” Keith was silent for a few seconds before he had returned. But as he did so, there was a dark shadow looming on his back.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">“Headmaster! There are limits to all of this!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You cannot say he didn’t do anything wrong!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Some professors couldn’t stand it any longer. What Keith did was actually horrible on every ount. The incident was definitely known to everyone.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“If we don’t punish him for this this time, others will definitely have a lot of say to it.” More students would probably go crazy because of this.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sent him to house arrest for 1 month,” Cadmus stated. What was this kid trying to do? Not even he could condone this.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“House arrest?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Shouldn’t he be locked up in solitary confinement?” This was lightpared to other times. However, Cadmus shook his head, “He had broken out twice before. I’d rather him just stay on his ind before breaking it again.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” That was such a sound reason that no one could say anything.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Aidiun, Tennol, you guys will be in charge of him,”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Understood,” Aidiun and Tennol nodded. Those two were the closest ones to Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">“Really?! But he’s the one trying to cause trouble!” Melor felt this was BS. Alger was clearly the one trying to Carolyn for his own personal gain.
<span style="font-weight:400">“The fact remained that he had attacked Alger. That falls in line here. And it’s worse that it’s a prince,” Clearly, the person in the wrong in this situation was Keith. But the others who knew what was really going on didn’t feel it was so.
<span style="font-weight:400">“But it’s strange that the Philosopher Kingdom hasn’t said a thing about it,” Attacking a neighboring prince would definitely lead to dire consequences. This was just a p on the wrist for Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...I can’t believe Carolyn would say all of that to Keith,” Sarah and the others camete. But they had heard everything Carolyn had said to Keith. Those words that came from her mouth were quite powerful.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...How is he doing right now?” It was even more so to his childhood friend. If they felt something by her words, what was he feeling?
