Volume 4: Chapter 23:

"How dare you!" To say that his fists were weak was asking for trouble! He took pride in his fist! And this man was talking down about it!

"Take this!" Herrick slammed his fist right into Keith's face! It was locked on as it hit dead in Keith's cheek. There was a grin on Herrick's face as he thought this did the trick. But that grin soon disappeared.

Keith didn't budge or buckle as he stared at Herrick, "Is that really it?" He raised his fist in the air,

"This is a real punch," Keith didn't hesitate as he punched Herrick right back! An eye for an eye.

He punched him in the same place as he did!

"Gah!" That caused Herricks to buckle. He glared at Keith,

"Do you think that is enough?!" Herrick swung again. But Keith laughed as he took the blow. Without a second later, Keith punched him in the face again.

That caused Herrick to take a knee.

"You can beat me!" Herrick got up and started to punch at him again. It was a fierce attack. But Keith continued to take the hits as he punched him back,

"Get him!"

"Take him out!"

The beastmen roared out as they cheered Herrick.

"Herrick is going to lose," Cadmus sighed. That shut all the beastmen up,

"Tennol, can you explain to them what's going on?" It seemed they didn't quite understand the situation unfolding.

"Keith wants a definitive victory," Tennol sighed as he stated.

"Ahh," Ophelia's eyes brightened.

"It seems you understand what is going on as well, student Ophelia." Tennol smiled,

"Can you explain it to the rest?"

"Keith is making it impossible for anyone to question the result," Ophelia stated.

"?" The others still didn't understand.

"Keith could easily dodge those attacks without any trouble. But he chose to take them instead. He's giving Herrick an advantage. If Herrick loses this fight, no one can question the outcome."

Ophelia didn't know whether or not Keith did it reflexively in the beginning as he showed them he could dodge Herrick's attacks.

It was a bold maneuver. Not many people would do something like that. It was saying to get beat up like no tomorrow for the win.

"Is he looking down on Herrick?!" Melor roared when he heard that. He understood why Herrick was so angry. He took pride in his fist.

Was Keith looking down on him?!

"Yes, he is," Cadmus declared, which caused the beastmen's expressions to turn green. But he added,

"But he has the capital to do that," There was a difference. If Keith looked down on him and didn't have the strength, he would be a fool. However, Keith wasn't the type.

"..." No one said a thing. They returned to watch the fight. Keith was getting hit, but everyone could tell Herrick was the one sucking wind. That was because he had been kicking and punching him.

Yet that didn't do anything. Keith was a juggernaut.

"Is that it?" Keith looked down at him. There was nothing to say about it. He was unfazed. It was as if he hadn't lost any strength.

"Kid really wants to make his point go through," Cadmus chuckled.

"Is this really the best you can do?" Keith's eyes were calm and composed as he stared at him.

I'm going to lose? Herrick stared at the titan in front of him. He was the same height as him. But he looked incredibly taller than him.

"I won't lose!" Herrick roared out as he snapped. His facial features started to change into that of a beast.

"He's going to use that," Cadmus frowned. This was a trait that the beastman had. Beatified. They could turn into an animal-half human.

It granted them more strength and speed than ever before.
