Volume 4: Chapter 21:

"Understood!" Arlo nodded as he raised his fist. Keith smiled as he did the same. Like that, the two started to spar.

The person who made the first move was Arlo. He attacked him with all the force he could muster. The latter didn't get pushed back as he held his ground.

"Good job. Keep moving like that." Keith smiled as he continued to block all of his blows. Arlo continued to swing his fist. But after some time, Keith pushed him back.

Arlo dropped to the ground.

"You've gotten better," Keith smiled as he helped Arlo up. Arlo was so weak in the beginning that Keith was shocked.

"I'm nothing compared to you, Leader." Sighing deeply, everyone could tell he was out of breath.

"That's because I've been training since I was a kid," Unlike Keith, Arlo was never taught how to fight. The first time he sparred with Keith and Gabriel, Arlo swung his fist left and right. He looked like a toddler.

"There are some things you need to fix. Let me help you with your stance," Keith could tell some things off.

"Try it again," Arlo nodded as he got into his stance. Keith started to adjust his body.

"Try to move now," Arlo threw out a punch, and he realized the difference.

"I feel so much smoother," He felt his body wasn't so rugged. It was a lot more fluid and easier to do.

Keith smiled, "Let's keep going."

There was no need to stop. It was good training for Arlo. Arlo continued to attack. As he did, Keith instructed him on what to change.

While that was happening, Tennol nodded his head. This kid is good at teaching.

"I feel so much stronger," Arlo stated with a pumped fist.

Keith laughed, "I only helped you with your stance. But you might not be able to handle yourself in an actual fight,"

"Eh?"

"I was holding back a lot. Remember that." Keith smiled. As they sparred, Keith held back against Arlo. If this was a real fight, Arlo would be sent flying.

He had to tell him this. Let's not give him a big head.

Arlo nodded, "Understood, Leader!"

"Let's continue," Keith continued to practice with Arlo. However,

"Umm, Keith?"

"Hmm?" Keith turned his head to see a couple of students.

"Can you help us with your form?" The students noticed how Arlo was moving faster while being taught by Keith.

"Sure, I don't mind." Keith didn't mind helping others out.

"Let me see your form."

"Okay!" The student quickly got into form and went to attack Keith. But the latter blocked their blows,

"Oh, I see where the problem lies. You're pushing your body forward. That's causing the power from your punch to shift." Keith explained.

"Do you feel a little off as you throw your punch?"

"Mmhmm."

"Let me adjust it," Keith stated as he helped the student out,

"Try doing it now,"

"Hah!" The student threw out a punch. And her eyes widened,

"I can feel it!"

"Try to get used to it." Keith smiled.

"Thank you!"

"Keith, can you help me out as well!" Other students had come to ask him. Keith didn't mind. While he was doing that,

"Isn't Keith kinda good at teaching?" Sarah watched from the side.

"He has always been the type to be good at learning and teaching," Carolyn knew Keith had a good knack for learning things. And he would make it simple for a child to understand. Even when they were kids, he would teach her things she didn't understand.

"And he's hot as well," Sarah noted. That was a big plus. 90% of the people who came up to Keith were girls.

"Ugh," Carolyn groaned when she heard that. Keith continued to help them out. But while he did that,

"Keith, can you give me pointers?" Keith looked up to see that it was Ophelia. Keith tilted his head,

"Are you sure you want to get pointers from me?" He saw Ophelia fight. And he could tell Ophelia was strong.

"I want your perspective,"

Hearing that, Keith nodded, "Sure, I can spar with you,"

"Mmhmm." When that was said, the other students backed away from Keith and Ophelia. Keith raised his hand up while Ophelia stared at him.

Ophelia was the one to make the first move. Keith blocked it.

Strong. Keith knew this person had great strength.

Ophelia continued to push forward. Keith smiled.

Perfect!

"!" Before she could realize it, Keith had pulled her hand. Without a thought later, she was looking at the ceiling,

"You lose,"

"What happened to me?" Ophelia questioned. Keith smiled as he picked her up,

"I used your force against you,"

"Hmm?"

Keith explained, "When you threw out a punch, I pulled your arm, causing you to have more force than necessary. That caused you to lose balance and grip,"

"I see,"

"You need to be wary of people who would catch your arm." He did something that was not common.

"I will keep that in mind," Ophelia got up and was ready to spar again.

Keith continued to spar with Ophelia a bit before he heard something.

"Argh!" Keith and Ophelia turned their heads to see that a student was down on the ground. When he saw this, Keith quickly dashed over to him,

"Hey! What's the matter?!" Keith quickly looked at the students.

"Here," Keith quickly cast some magic. From how it was bent, it was mangled. Keith looked up at the instructor,

"Please take him to the nurse," The instructor nodded as he picked up the student and carried him to the nurse's office. While he did that, Keith got up and stared at Tennol, who was screaming at a student.

"Have you gone mad?!" Tennol roared. He was focused on Melor and Herrick.

"What? That person couldn't handle one of my hits." The beastman shrugged his shoulders. It was as if there was nothing wrong with what he did.

"You-" Tennol's eyes grew dark when he heard that. But while that was happening,

"Hey! What's going on over there?" Tennol turned around to see that Keith was staring at Herrick. The two of them were above everyone else.

Herrick smiled, "I accept."
