Volume 5 Chapter 18: Keith Effect
"Let me get this straight; the great spirit attacked you. You somehow survived. And you decided to let her live on the island?" Alfia grabbed her head as she tried to recount everything Keith said.
She felt an enormous headache coming.
"..." Do I have to keep kneeling? Right now, Keith was kneeling in front of Alfia. The pressure coming from her body forced him down. She might have thrown fireballs everywhere!
"First question, how did you survive her attack?" Surviving an attack from a great spirit was impossible. And said person survived it!
"I almost died. But yeah, got a strong body." Keith was proud. He had been working out for so long. Withstanding one attack was the best he could do.
"Huh?"
"Forget I said anything!"He was instantly shut down by the cold glare from Alfia.
"To think you have two great spirits." A groan came out. Having one was already an alarm going through Alfia's head. But there were two now?!
"Who knows about them being spirits?"
"The only one they know is a spirit is Fira." Fira was the only spirit the others knew about. Diana and Nephele were treated as strong individuals on par with Cadmus and Sohma.
"Carolyn is the only student who knows because you screamed it out."
"That's good." Alfia sighed in relief, but then she realized something, "You should do something about this!"
"Do about what?"
"Keeping it quiet!"

"I've been doing that."
"You-" Alfia sighed. Every time she conversed with this man, the ending would be her being annoyed. He had no idea of the severity of the situation!
"How are my spirits doing?" Alfia realized her spirits were still there while she passed out.
"You don't need to worry about them." The two spirits were really well-behaved. They didn't cause any trouble and stayed by Fira's side.
"Want to stay for dinner again?" Keith asked.
Alfia shook her head, "I don't want to impose again." Eating the first time was fine. But the second was a different matter.
"Alright," Keith said nothing more as he walked Alfia out of the island.
"Bye-bye!" Fira waved her hands at the little spirits. The two nodded their heads as they followed after Alfia.
...
The next day, the group was ready to head off to class. Before they head off, Alfia brought the spirits over.
"Behave yourselves," Alfia told her two spirits.
"Woof!" "Kwak!" The spirits sounded off as they chased after Fira.
"Thank you again." Alfia was grateful to Keith.
"It's fine." Keith laughed.
"But are you fine leaving them there, Alfia?" Carolyn wondered.
"Hmm?" "You'll understand when you see the Keith effect."
"The Keith effect?" This was the first time she heard this.
"You see, the Keith effect is-" Before Carolyn could explain it, Keith smacked her in the head!
"What was that for?!" Carolyn turned to Keith with a tearful expression.
"Keep talking like that, and no food for you!" "But the Keith effect is a thing!" "No, it's not."
"It kinda is," Gabriel interjected.
"Gabriel!"
"What she said has a lot of truth." Jack nodded.
"This guy has an effect?" Herrick was interested as well.
"I do not have an effect! It's something this girl made up!" Keith pinched the girl's cheeks. She was corrupting everyone here!
"But Carolyn isn't wrong." Jack rubbed his chin as he thought about it.
"What do you mean?" Keith's expression darkened. Jack explained,
"Sometimes, I hear the principal and Vice-principal talk about things happening because it's Keith."
"..." Everyone stared at Keith. And the latter made an X with his hands, "There is no such thing as the Keith effect!" He had to put a stop to this at once! This would become another massive annoyance!
"Pff!" Alfia and others chuckled. This kept happening till they entered the classroom. Keith's eyes twitched.
"There's no point in denying it." Carolyn shook her head as she patted his shoulders.
Keith slapped himself in the head.
"Eh?" Aren't you supposed to smack me?
"Woman, you want to play with fire?" An evil grin formed on Keith's face as he stared at Carolyn.
"Eh?"
"Hehe," Keith said nothing but walked to his seat. That left Carolyn befuddled and confused.
"What does he mean?" Carolyn was a little worried.
"I don't know." Gabriel shrugged, "But I think you should be worried about what he will do."
"..."
"I feel sorry for you." Alfia sighed.
