<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, spar with me," "Sure." Tennol''s ss was all about sparring against one another. Keith and Carolyn started to fight. He went with the basic motions as he threw light punches. However, that was when the girl quickly ducked down, and Keith had some air time before he mmed down!
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Did you have to m me down so hard?" Keith looked up at her. His head was spinning in circles after that. Carolyn only got closer to him and whispered, "Of course, I have to go all out. I need to make it believable."
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" You''re enjoying this, aren''t you? That grin on her face said otherwise.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"But how are your wounds doing?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"70%," Even after all that time passed, Keith hadn''t recovered from his injuries. Using such high-level magic in tandem would do something to the body.
<span style="font-weight:400">Most of his bodily functions had returned from their journey. But it was not to the point where he could go all out. If he did so, his body would freeze and spas out.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn was the only person who knew about this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''ll keep watching over you until you recover."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Then why are you beating me up like this? This girl was going full force! It was like she was trying to get him hurt. The girl grinned, "Let''s keep going!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you bing another Herrick!" This whole incident continued for some time before they changed into their uniforms. Keith''s eyes twitched up and down.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aww, is someone angry that he had gotten beaten up by their childhood friend?" Jack teased.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Shut it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hahaha, you got a taste of your own medicine!" Those three started to dance in the locker rooms, which caused the others to shake their heads. What is wrong with these fools?
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith''s face was quite scratched up. I''m going to get revenge on that girl. It was like she aimed at his face on purpose. As they walked out, they saw the girls. Alfia and Scarlet grinned as they nced at the boy.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is the first time I ever saw you so beaten up."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith wanted to say some things when he noticed the students were running to something. Sarah tilted, "Where are they going in a rush?" It wasn''t only the freshmen; every student from each grade had rushed to one spot.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Brother, do you know what''s going on?" Alfia noticed her brother in the crowd.
<span style="font-weight:400">"They posted the midterm rankings on the board." When that was said, Keith and the others looked at one another. That was when they had dashed over to the scene. No wonder everyone was rushing to the boards.
<span style="font-weight:400">There were already a bunch of students before it. However, the boards were big enough for everyone to see. It showed everyone''s rankings. And what they saw was not surprising.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, I''m fourth." Scarlet looked at her name.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We got a majority of the top 10 positions." The top 10 were mainlyprised of them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">4th:Scarlet
<span style="font-weight:400">6th:Alfia
<span style="font-weight:400">7th:Krystal
<span style="font-weight:400">8th:Gabriel
<span style="font-weight:400">9th:Faelyn
<span style="font-weight:400">12th:Carolyn
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Woohoo! I''m notst!" Herrick roared as he waved his hand. The man was 15th. It was not a surprise since he had been working his butt off. The same goes for Melor, who was ranked 17th.
<span style="font-weight:400">"And what does our first ce have to say about all of this?" And topping everyone in S-ss was none other than Keith. He went from 8th to 1st instantly.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Why are you so dull?" Keith''s expression was calm andposed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Just expected it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pretty cocky."
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s not cocky when you work every day." There was a difference; Keith had memorized everything till thest day. It paid off a bunch. There was no way he didn''t expect it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Look at thebat midterms," It wasn''t only rankings; the score for all subjects was also posted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You got a perfect 100," That 100 was so blinding. The second-highest score was 98, which came from Herrick.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kinda expected when you fought a sword saint." Keith may have lost that fight. But that was expected against the sword saint. The child had fought against the saint and forced him to use full power.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s now 1 to 1," Carolyn questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Yeah." Keith clenched his fist. The score was tied now.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What about you guys?" Keith turned to the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"3rd in my ss," Leona frowned. Herrick tilted his head, "Third is pretty good. That means you have a chance to get to S-ss."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Leona''s eyes had a burning fire.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…She really wants to be in the same ss as him," Carolyn could tell. The girl had been working day and night; all that hard work was to get to the same ss as her fiancee.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s what happens when you have the wife buff," Jack muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to get bumped up as well!" It wasn''t only Leona; the other three were the same. They had scored in the top 5. Now, to get bumped up into the next ss, they would need to defeat the other students, which would be the end.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, now that we know our rankings, we don''t need to care so much." Keith stretched his hands into the air. The head of tension had been off his body now that he was gone.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go home and rx!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah!" The others jumped up!
