Volume 5 Chapter 3: You're The One Who Wants To Join?!

The following day, Keith stretched his hand. He was heading to class. When he entered the classroom. "Why are you here?"

Carolyn walked up to Keith. Confusion was plastered on her face. The latter tilted his head, "Why shouldn't I be here? We have classes today?"

Carolyn's eyes twitched, "That's not the point. You're still injured." Did the guy forget about his injuries? Keith was still covered in bandages. It was only a few days, and there were fewer bandages.

But it was more than enough for everyone else to notice! Keith laughed, "There's no need to worry about it. I feel super!" To show he was better, he waved his hand back and forth to show he was alright.

He didn't feel any pain from the wounds. Most of them closed up.

"Tsk Tsk!" Carolyn gave him a dark look. But the man patted her head, "Don't worry about it."

Carolyn didn't say anything as she looked away. But there was a tint of red on her ear. When he sat down, he took a big sigh. He could tell a lot of people were staring at him.

But who could blame them? They all knew what Keith was. This man rampaged with a giant column. He did a lot of crazy things and survived.

Now, this man entered the classroom with bandages covering his body! What did he do to get all of them?

"What happened to you, Keith?" Alfia was the one who asked. She and Faelyn walked up to him. Keith scratched his head,

"Well, you see. I got myself into some trouble." He ended that with a laugh. That caused Carolyn and Gabriel to shake their heads. Some trouble? You came home covered in blood!

"Is that really a small trouble? What kind of small trouble got your body to look like that?" Alfia didn't believe him. It had to be something big for him to be like this.

"Who knows?" Keith shrugged his shoulders. Alfia continued to stare at him before sighing,

"Alright. But do be more careful." Alfia didn't say anymore as she walked back to her seat. But that interaction alone was enough to cause everyone in the class to look at them even more strangely.

When did the two of them become so close? The interactions between Keith and Alfia were close to none. It was so minuscule that they were strangers.

Carolyn and Gabriel were okay with it. After having lunch with Alfia, it was expected. Like that, class started off in a weird vibe.

...

"Did something happen with the princess?" During the knight class, Jack had to question Keith. Keith shrugged his shoulders, "I did nothing."

"Are you sure?" Jack gave him a weird stare. During class, Alfia wanted to get close to Keith. It was surprising for all of them.

"We're classmates. So it's normal." Keith shrugged his shoulders.

"..." Jack grabbed his head. That's not the point!

"Forget about it. Go ride your horse." They needed to practice. When Keith said this,

"By the way, when are you going to get a horse?"

"Can't. There aren't any horses that want to partner up with me." Keith sighed. There was a horse shortage. None were available.

"What about that guy on the island?" There was one horse.

"Oh. He's not going to listen to me." Keith shook his head, "And he's going back to the wild."

"..." "What?"

"Nothing," Jack said nothing else as he walked away with his horse in tow.

Why is everyone giving me that look? Keith didn't mind it as he started to work out again.

...

"Keith, can you come to the office. The principal said he wanted to speak with you." Aidiun called out to Keith.

"Hmm? Is it going to be something weird?" Keith was a little skeptical. But Aidiun shook his head,

"You don't have to worry about it. I...don't think." It was Cadmus. Knowing him, he might pull something.

"..Fine." Keith sighed as he headed to Cadmus's office. He knocked on the door,

"Keith, is that you?"

"Mmhmm."

"Then come in!" Keith entered the office,

"What do you need, Grandpa Cadmus?"

A grin formed on Cadmus's face, "Keith, how is your island doing?"

"Don't you know?" Keith titled his head. This man was on his island 24/7.

"I know. But I've been thinking, don't you think there should be more students?"

"But you've been saying not to add more people." Keith retorted. Straight up, Cadmus had been asking Keith not to add more people.

"Ahem," Cadmus coughed, "Well, don't you think more people will be great?"

You're really not going to answer my question? Keith shook his head, "Sure, the more the merrier. But what's your- wait."

"There's someone who wants to join your island." Cadmus grinned.

"Really?!" "Mmhmm. And it's someone you know as well."

"Who?" Someone I know? Was it Krystal? Or maybe Ophelia. Those were about the only people he knew.

"He's right behind the door." Cadmus snapped his fingers, "Sohma, you can bring him in now." With that, Sohma bought the person in.

Keith's eyes widened, "You're the one who wants to join?!"
