Volume 4: Chapter 20:

"Those beastmen have gotten even more out of hand," Jack groaned. It seemed he went through something as he was looking through the window of the mansion, trying his best to escape from reality,

"What happened?" Keith and Gabriel tilted their heads when they heard that. The group heard about something happening in his class. The expression on Sarah's face was something.

"Basically, some beastman caused a riot in the classroom. Because of that, there was a giant fight," Jack stated.

"That's what happened in the classroom?!" Gabriel blinked a few times.

"What happened after that?"

"Some of us had to stop them before the instructors came. It was annoying." Jack and a few others had to jump in. And those beastmen fought back.

"Those dwarves are like that too. No offense, Arlo." It wasn't only the beastmen. The dwarves were acting up as well.

"It's fine," Arlo waved his hand, "The dwarves and the beastmen had been acting up in my class as well."

That was a fact.

"It's clear Herrick and Melor are the ones driving them." It was only those two who could cause all this trouble.

"But seriously, what is wrong with the two of them?" Sarah expressed. Why did they have to cause trouble for all of them!

"There, there, Sarah." Sarah was about to have a mental breakdown. Seeing this, Fira patted the girl's shoulders. When she saw the cute creature doing that,

"Thank you so much!" She hugged the little spirit. She was soothing her soul!

"..."

"Keith, what's the matter?" Carolyn noticed the expression on his face. He suggested, "What if I fight with Herrick?"

"Eh?" That caused the others to tilt their heads.

"One of my friends said if I defeat Herrick in a one-on-one fight, then all of this would stop," Keith explained. Nina's words had been coming to his mind.

"Herrick is following the rule of strength above all. If someone stronger beat him, he would stop all of this." Melor would probably follow suit as well.

"But you don't want that," Carolyn stated.

"Eh?"

"Don't think about it. You don't want to deck the guy out," Carolyn understood Keith's mindset. He wasn't the type to use his fist. Well, for the most part.

"But-"

"No buts! I have spoken!" Carolyn declared.

"We just need to think about something else to deal with them." There was no need to have Keith make a move.

"I'm the same. I don't think you should make a move. You might cause something else." Gabriel added.

"Huh?" Keith tilted his head.

"What would happen if you beat up a prince after the damage you caused to Todd's family?" Gabriel stated.

Keith went crazy as he stormed into a mansion and half-destroyed it. That was insane. But what happened in the fight was something. He beat them up left and right.

What would people think if Keith murdered Herrick?!

"You might cause a war," Carolyn stated.

"True," Jack nodded to that.

"That is definitely the case."

"You guys are acting like I'm going to kill him!"

"You could." All of them quipped. There was nothing to be said about it. Keith could easily blow Herrick up by mistake!

"..."

"Anyways, you don't need to focus on him so much. You need to focus on your cart," Carolyn and the rest smiled. Keith already had a lot on his plate. There was no need to make a move.

"Alright," Keith sighed. There was no need to say anything about it. Keith took a big sigh. They continued to talk for some time before they had dinner.

...

"Alright, class. Today, we'll be having a spar with one another." Tennol stated as he clapped his hands together. It had become the usual for all of them.

"You guys can choose who you want as your sparring partner," Tennol stated. His eyes were like a hawk. It was clear he was watching over them. More specifically, Melor and Herrick.

"Keith, do you want to spar with me?" Gabriel questioned. Keith shook his head,

"Sorry, but I have someone in mind today." He turned to Arlo, "Arlo, let's spar."

"Sure, Leader!" Arlo nodded his head when he heard that. But for the rest, they were confused.

"Why would Keiyh want to spar with a wimp like that?"

"Doesn't he know he's a halfling?"

"What is wrong with him?"

"Why is he so kind to him?"

The other students started to murmur. Keith ignored them as he focused on Arlo,

"I want to see how much you have improved." He had been practicing with Arlo. But it was mostly Gabriel and Jack who did most of it.

Keith had been focusing on his cart and such.
