<i ss="fa fa-exmation-triangle" aria-hidden="true" style="padding-right:5px;"></i> Announcement
<i><span style="font-weight:400">Quick thing; so I changed some names going forward. So Ophelia is Long Lihua and Eylris is Ayaka Kazemori. In addition, Tennol is female now going forward.</i><span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">The group was brought to the royal capital, where they entered the portal again to go to the academy. Carolyn sighed, “I think you should just have the settings set to the academy as well.” Going back and forth with the royal capital as the lynchpin was getting quite tedious.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wouldn’t the headmaster get here faster if you did?” Cadmus was one of those people who came to the city whenever he could.
<span style="font-weight:400">“No need to. That dragon can teleport to my ind whenever he wants.” The dragon was a better void magic user than him. He could teleport instantly. The group headed to the academy. And when they did, Aidiun was at the gate for them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Professor Aidiun.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith, sorry to ask you toe here on your break.” Aidiun sighed, “The headmaster is waiting for you in his office.” The four started to move.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Do you know what’s going on?” Keith was slightly confused by all of this. Despite worrying about the situation, he didn''t know what it was.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I know. But you should hear it from the headmaster instead of from my mouth.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see. So it’s that serious.” Keith took a deep sigh as the thoughts continued to linger through his head. But as he thought about this, they had entered the office,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Grandpa Cadmus, what’s the matter?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hey- Woah, why is there so much bloodlusting from you?” Keith was oozing off some thick fighting spirit. It was quite something as even he flinched.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Because you said there was an issue. So what is it? Is it fighting? Do we have to kill orcs or trolls?” Keith was itching to take care of this mess. That caused Cadmus and Sohma to stare at one another.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“No, you don’t need to do any of that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then why did you call me?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“…That.” Cadmus was going to exin before he sighed deeply, “This is something I shouldn’t say.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Are you kidding me?” Is this hot potato? They were only throwing it back and forth between everyone. Did he reallye here for nothing?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Rx; all of your questions will be answered.” Cadmus looked at the door, “You guys cane in.” And the moment he said this, they entered the room.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Lihua? Ayaka?” Two were someone Keith and the two knew; they were none other than Long Lihua and Ayaka Kazemori. And they were not alone as two more people were beside them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hello, Keith,” Long Lihua waved her hand while Ayaka looked away. One was friendly, while the other was distant. It was a nice pairing between the two. Keith tilted his head, “So there’s a problem with them?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What is the problem?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, something is happening on our ind, and it’s pretty dangerous. That’s why we came here to beg for the ancestor’s help.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“To beg for his help?” Wait a minute? Ancestor? Keith turned to Cadmus, who nodded, “Mmhmm, Lihua had asked for my aid.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then why do you need my help for this?” Hold up, that didn’t make any sense. This was more up of Cadmus’s alley than his by a mile away! One flick from the dragon would instantly blow two streets away! There was probably nothing that could stop him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“No, this one isn’t up my alley. Actually, it’s totally up your expertise.” Cadmus shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?” The whole room was befuddled. Up Keith’s alley?
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you telling him to feed them and send them off?” Carolyn questioned. Keith would definitely be up for the task if that were the case. Food and cooking were up this man’s alley. However, the dragon shook his head, “No, it’s nothing like that. Actually, it could work. But this is something that has totally to do with Keith. He’s the only one who could deal with this. Anyone else will not get the perfect results you want.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?” Long Lihua and Ayaka were surprised by his words. They stared at the boy. He had been with them for quite some time, and was he able to do something about this?
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith, only you could do this,” Sohma added.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Even Uncle Sohma thought so as well? Now, that was a lot more reassurance. The deputy headmaster was much more truthfulpared to the Headmaster.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hold it!” But one person had other thoughts about this.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What is the matter?” Cadmus tilted his head. It was none other than the person. Long Lihua frowned, “Qiqiang, don’t say anything.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m sorry, Cousin. But I have to say it.” Long Qiqiang then pointed at Keith, “How could this person solve the situation urring on our ind?!” That was something he had doubts about. Cadmus, the dragon, had the guarantee as his name was known throughout thends. It was not that surprising.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith, on the other hand, was a whole different matter. Even if he had Cadmus’s assurance, that didn’t mean jack to him since he didn’t have the same pedigree.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“He does have a point,” Keith wouldn’t deny that.
<span style="font-weight:400">Cadmus’s name outssed his name by a mile. That was more so when dealing with everything outside the human nation.
<span style="font-weight:400">Cadmusughed, “Then if you need assurance with all of this, how about you have a spar with the boy.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?” Keith blinked.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Understood!” Long Qiqiang nodded as he stared at Keith with ferocious eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Uhhhhh. Keith then nced at Krystal and Carolyn, who were speechless about this. They returned to the academy only to find that Keith would get into a fight against some people. Yeah, that was something no one had expected.
