Volume 5 Chapter 39: I’m Not Like Him

I can't believe I'm doing something like this! Herrick's expression was pitch black as he continued to have those things balanced on his head. He wanted to hide in a hole!

When he first heard about it from Keith, he thought the guy was insane!

How could he make him do something like that?! He wasn't a juggler! However, Herrick decided to bear with it. He remembered what Keith said. This would make him stronger! That alone was enough to entice him!

However,

"What is he doing?"

"Has he gone insane?!"

"I guess getting beat up by the representative had caused his brain to go crazy."

Herrick could hear all the snickering directed at him. His teeth were about to break. Why don't you come closer and say it?! That was what he wanted to scream. He wanted to punch those people who talked down to him.

Calm down, remember his words.

You need to keep a straight face. Don't let anything affect your expression. That was the other task Keith gave to Herrick.

Don't think about them. Don't think about them. Herrick continued to repeat those words in his mind. He kept his expression stone cold like a statue.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

But nothing could slip from Herrick's hearing. He heard everything those students said, even if they were far away!

"Want to say that to my face?!" Herrick roared. It was only a minute after he kept repeating those words. And the man couldn't take it any longer! He was ready to duke it out with those guys.

That caused the students to flinch. Herrick charged at them like a mad dog! He was ready to pounce as he raised his fist.

"Calm down," However, his fist never landed. Who caught it was Keith. Noticing the contorted expression Herrick had, he quickly jumped in to intercept him.

Herrick glanced at Keith and back at the students. He huffed a bit before backing off.

"And you two," Keith gave them a look. And the students didn't know why, but they shivered. It was even worse than Herrick! That expression was so calm and composed.

Yet, it was so cold as well!

Keith shook his head. There was nothing to say to people like that. He walked over to Herrick, "And you, do you not remember what I said? You have to keep a straight face."

"I know,"

"Now go back to doing it," Keith handed him an egg. Like that, Herrick balanced it on his head in front of everyone. Herrick could only grit his teeth as he continued to do this.

...

"Prince, these are the rumors we've obtained on Keith Freed," An elf brought out some paper and handed it to Iston.

Iston looked through the information he obtained. And his expression changed. It was vicious and cold.

"So this is why he's called the legendary student." Iston heard some rumors about Keith. However, he didn't think it was true. To take off a gate and swing it around? That was insanity.

"Prince, do you need me to do something to him?" One of the elves questioned. His expression was dark, ready to take action against Keith.

Iston shook his head, "No, there's no need to attack him so soon. If he's as strong as it says, we require more research."

Attacking Keith without any knowledge would be a waste of strength. And it would make him more cautious if it failed.

The rumors going around Keith were crazy. We need to figure out what was true and what was false. He wasn't a fool like Todd Mills. He would find all of the information and then take him out.

A person like that shouldn't be in this academy.

This brat, is he trying to break the status quo? Just the thought was enough to make Iston smirk. If he continues on, I shall destroy him. He was going to be a bug being swatted down.

And my sister. Iston didn't forget about Alfia.

I have to do something about her.
