<b>*Okay, situation. One chapter is floating somewhere and I can’t find it. But it seems the transition is fine enough that it should be fine and got a good message across. *</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">“What is going on?!” Keith’s expression was dark as he paced back and forth in the room. As he did, three girls stared at him with worry. Keith was so frazzled. That was rare when you considered the boy to be always cool-headed. Yet, who could me the boy? The message sent to him by the academy’s headmaster was something. Even William and the adults were slightly surprised by the message.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Headmaster Cadmus isn''t pulling a joke on us, right?” There was something they needed to figure out as well. asionally, he would do something like this to the boy. The one to beat him to a blood pulp was Sohma.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith shook, “It didn’t seem like one of those times.” He thought so at first, but remembering how he sounded, it wasn’t the case; it would have been more yful and annoying.
<span style="font-weight:400">“But to ask you for help?” That was the other question going through their minds. Who was Cadmus? This guy was so strong that he didn’t need help against anyone. To ask Keith to help out made it a little confusing.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What do you want to do about this?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course, to go and help him.” There were no other options for Keith; Cadmus had been helping out his family all this time. He may be annoying and such, but he was family.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then we should prepare some things before we head back.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“We?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course,” Carolyn frowned, “Do you think we’re staying here as well?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s not the same without you.” Without the man, everything about this ce felt different!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright. But I’m going to get a few things. We’ll leave in the evening.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Understood!” The two girls nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“May, I will leave everything to you as always,” May was going to be watching over the chocte factory and the new dessert bar. This was adding more to her te since she became a viscount not long ago.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t worry, Young Master. I can handle all of it alone,” May had a bright grin.
<span style="font-weight:400">“May, did something happen between the two of you?” Carolyn inched forward to the girl. But that was when she shook her hands, “Nothing had happened, Princess!”
<span style="font-weight:400">The woman tried to y it down, but anyone could tell something had happened between them. Carolyn and Krystal continued to have grins as they understood. It was not surprising.
<span style="font-weight:400">The group went to sleep. But Keith looked up at the sky during the night. What could Grandpa Cadmus need his help on?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith didn''t say anything as he embraced the owl.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">The following day, Keith had headed off to Ignis Hammer.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Orin, can I get the armguard?” He didn’t leave because of the arm guard that Orin said he was going to prepare. He knew that he was going to need it. That thing could probably take anything if he used it to guard with it.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm, here it is,” What was brought before him was a vibrant silver guard with a beautiful shine. That surprised Keith, “This was made from the bones?” The dull bones had be so vibrant and shiny? That was miracle work right here.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s because I had to melt that bone with a lot of heat, and it became like metal.” Orin had a giddy smile as he said this. But as they talked, Keith ced it on his body. It was slightly heavier than the one; however, he could live with that. It wouldn''t get in his way as he fights against monsters.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Here’s the armguard for when you attend ss.” Another armguard was brought out. This one had stripes on it. Lighter. This one was more flexible and easier in sses.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thanks a lot.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“By the way, you should look at this.” Orin then brought something out. But as he did so, Hugo had to help him move it as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">“A halberd?” Keith was surprised. A dark halberd was brought before him. It was quiterge, but it was more than enough for him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Try swinging this around,” Keith nodded as he did. <b><i>Swish!</i></b><span style="font-weight:400"> The sound of air being cut in half could be heard.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith nodded. Heavy. It was on the heavier side, but it was more than enough to manage. It had the perfect weight at the end.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Michael had told us that you’ll probably need a halberd sooner orter, so he told us to make it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Michael.” That guy.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“We used the spine of the T-rex to make it, and the de and tip were made from the variant raptor.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t mention it. Juste back when you have the time,” Orin grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Gotcha,” Keith left the shop and made one final pitstop before going home. He nced at the chocte factory that he had built. It was still going strong. There were a lot of kids going there as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s the young master!” The children started to swarm him. He patted their heads, “Sorry, but I’m in a slight rush today,” Entering the building,
<span style="font-weight:400">“Walter, how are you doing?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m doing good, Boss!” Walter and the other beastmen had been working overtime. And they look so energetic as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s good.” Keith smiled. There was no need to worry about them. E and the others in the dessert bar had Ralph. He would watch over them like a hawk. Like that, he returned home.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Do you guys have everything ready?” Keith turned to the two girls.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm.” They were prepared.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Big Brother, do you have to go?” Leon and Laura stared. They were a little dejected over how he had to leave earlier than scheduled. That only made him pat their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I have to. Grandpa Cadmus is asking for my help.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm,” Surprisingly, the two didn’t stop him. That was because Cadmus had been ying with them from time to time when he came. The two kids were fond of the dragon.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not surprising since Cadmus was pretty childlike.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Be sure to take care of yourself.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm,” Keith nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“And don’t do anything rash that would get you killed.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything like that.” Keith nodded his head. With those words, Keith and the two headed to the gates and entered.
