Volume 5 Chapter 41: I lost?

A giant lion looking down on a mouse! It was obvious who would win in this battle!

"Where is Keith going with this?!" Jack was so confused. If they were to have a contest, it would be a bloodbath!

"Herrick is going to crush him!" Alfia couldn't believe it either. Whatever Keith did, she highly doubted Arlo could match up with Herrick.

"Maybe not," A voice cuts in. Diana stared at the two. Seeing her gaze at Arlo and Herrick, a smile formed, "I think Keith might do something interesting and fair."

Keith stated, "It's going to be three tests. The first test is an easy one." Keith raised his hand in the air and in a second, blocks formed on top.

"Eh?" Arlo and Herrick tilted their heads.

"In front of you is a couple of blocks. The one who can make it into a cube first is the winner. And you can't break the blocks to make it fit either." Keith had to add the last part. He could see Herrick was ready to break them.

"Go!" Herrick and Arlo started to move their hands!

Herrick took two blocks. This test was simple enough. Even a child could make a cube from these. He places the blocks together, forming a corner. As he continued to place the blocks together,

Eh? Herrick formed the cube. However, there was a block sticking out from the top. I need to redo it! Herrick looked over to Arlo to see him only up to a corner. I'm so far ahead.

Arlo didn't know that Herrick was watching him as he continued at a steady pace, thinking about his every move.

"Keith, can we try it as well?" Gabriel was curious about this test.

"Sure," Keith handed the same blocks over to him. Like that, Gabriel started to do the same thing.

"You guys can do it as well," With a snap of his fingers, blocks formed in front of them. Everyone was doing it now.

"What the? This is impossible!" Jack gave up immediately!

"Really? I thought it was fun," Jack turned to see Gabriel's perfect cube.

"..."

"It was easy," Alfia showed her perfect cube as well.

"..." You guys are monsters!

"I've finished it as well," Jack turned to Sarah to see it done.

"..." Sister, I thought we were together?! How could you betray me?!

"Argh!" Herrick grabbed his head as he was lost on what to do! He couldn't make a cube! It was next to impossible!

"I'm done, Leader," But the words that came out of Arlo's mouth caused his eyes to widen. In Arlo's hand was a perfect cube!

"Good job, Arlo." Keith smiled as he took back the cube.

"He cheated!" Herrick shouted. There was no way he could finish it before him.

"Herrick, I gave you the same blocks as Arlo. How do you think he cheated?"

"..." No answer from him. Keith shook his head, "If you're going to say he cheated, have some proof. We'll start with the next test."

I have to get the next one! Herrick gritted his teeth as he was ready for the next test. The second test was,

"This was not created by me. Our manager, Professor Aidiun, had created this," Keith smiled as he pointed at Aidiun.

"This test is simple. I have written up some problems here. You guys need to finish it in the allotted time. And he shall grade it." It was simple.

The test started. Herrick and Arlo got to work. The two didn't say anything as they continued to write.

"I think Herrick might get this one."

"Maybe," Gabriel commented. After what happened with the last test, there was no way to know who would get it. Like that, time was up.

"Please check, Professor Aidiun," Keith handed the papers to him. Aidiun started to check them over. If Arlo got a higher score, there was no need for the third. And if Herrick got it, they would go with the third test.

"Arlo passed, Herrick failed."

"Again?!" Herrick was in disbelief.

"I guess that makes it 2-0. There's no need to go for a third." Keith commented.

"..." Herrick said nothing.

"Oh, didn't you say about you being the strongest?"

"...."

"Didn't you say you were going to beat him?"

"..."

"How could you lose without getting a point?"

Keith started to circle around Herrick as he teased him. But when he did that, Herrick's expression turned red as he walked away. He said nothing and headed to his room.

"Keith, did you have to be so mean to him?" Carolyn said the words everyone thought. What Keith did was over the top.
