Volume 3.5 Chapter 45:

"It's complete!" Keith and Arlo smiled in marvel at the cart. The two stared at a simple wood cart in front of them.

"Using oak wood was the best choice," Arlo nodded. The main material Keith used on the cart was a light orange wood.

"It's the perfect material." Keith agreed.

"It looks incredible," Diana stated as she stared at the thing. Fira was on her shoulder, frowning.

"What's the matter, Fira?" Keith noticed the look Fira had.

"I want it to be more colorful!" Fira commented. There was only one color to this.

Keith laughed, "Don't worry about it. I'm going to add some signs to make it colorful. And you can help me with that!"

"Really?" Fira's eyes brightened.

"Of course!"

"Yay!" Fira was content with this.

"But two whole days. We worked hard," Keith laughed. There were dark bags under his eyes.

"Mmhmm," Arlo had the same bags under his eyes, "Leader, I'm going to hit the bed,"

"Understood. I'm going to do the same," Keith let out a big yawn! He wanted to get some rest as well.

"You guys looked dead," As Keith and Arlo entered the mansion, the dwarves looked at them weirdly.

"Mmhmm, We just finished the cart,"

"Hmpf! Weak! Working two days straight is nothing," Skar scoffed at him. But Keith retorted,

"I don't want to hear that from you! You were switching with the other workers!" Keith shook his head. The dwarves were working day in and day out on the mansion.

They each took 12-hour rotations.

"I'm going to hit the hay!" Keith stated as he dropped into his bed. He was knocked out like that!

...

The next day, when Keith entered the classroom,

"Keith-woah! Why do you look so excited?!" Carolyn greeted Keith, and she noticed the bright smile on his face. That dark expression was nowhere to be seen.

"That's because it is done," Keith stated.

Carolyn blinked, "Wait, you don't mean-"

"Mmhmm, my cart is done,"

Gabriel clutched his head, "I can't believe the two of you finished it so quickly," Stuff like that shouldn't be finished in a day or two. But those two did just that.

"Of course! When you want to do something, you have to try hard to accomplish it!" Keith stated with a serious expression. Working hard with your own hands made it especially satisfying.

"I see," Carolyn and Gabriel looked at him like a strange creature. It didn't take long before Aidiun entered.

"Does anyone have anything to say before class starts?" Aidiun questioned. Keith raised his hand.

"Keith, what do you want to say?"

He looked at everyone, "Hi, guys! I wanted to say that I have finished my cart. I don't know what I will be selling. But I welcome everyone if they like delicious food!" The first thing to do was to promote his cart!

"..." No one said a thing.

"I see. Thank you, Keith." There was nothing else to say.

Like that, class started.

...

At lunch,

"Nam," Keith ate a rolled omelet with a happy smile. He was so calm and composed while the others stared at him.

"What's the matter?" Keith noticed their expressions.

"How could you be so calm when you are the talk of the academy?" Tristan questioned.

Maria added, "Carolyn, can't you watch over him properly?" Even she was shocked by how much trouble he caused! And it wasn't even a few days since the Krystal Rustchil fight!

"How is this my fault? I'm not his mother?" Carolyn shook her head as she ate an omelet.

"..." He got to you. Good food always throws everything out the window.

And this man had no qualms about it.

"Oh, yeah. Do you guys want to try my food?" Keith asked.

"Sure! I would love to eat it," Tristan wasn't going to say no to food. Keith chuckled.

Keith continued to eat his lunch.

"To think you have fallen so low," A mocking tone stated at Keith. Everyone turned their heads to stare at Todd.

"So delicious," Keith stated as he continued to eat.

"..." Ah, Keith?

"Heh, you can continue to act like a fool," Todd laughed. Fine, he could be like this,

"But everyone knows you're scum!"

"That's right. The shame of us humans!"

"Quiet, Todd." Tristan glared at Todd.

"I'm sorry, Prince. But this person is the shame of all of us," Todd stated.

"Carolyn, do you want to try this?" Keith waved some food for her.

"Yep, yep!" Carolyn didn't wait as she ate it.

"..." Todd's expression turned even darker as he walked away.

"Keith, you really don't care about what he said?"

"Of course. Why do I need to care about a guy like that," Keith laughed.

"Anyways, let's continue to eat!"
