Volume 5 Chapter 53: You Should Have Scram.

"Who do I remind you of?" Keith tilted his head.

"This guy is the most annoying person I have met! He's the silent and cold type! He's so aloof to everything around him that it gets on my nerves. And he somehow gets all the girls as well!!" The bad mouthing started.

"...I see." It seemed Cedric wasn't planning to stop any time soon. It seemed his stress had been building up for quite some time.

Keith shook his head as he finished selling the rest of his stock. He rolled his hand as he headed home. Besides the incident with the elf, the day was the same. As he continued to drag the cart,

"Senior Sakura?" Keith spotted Sakura talking with someone.

"You guys shouldn't be acting like this." She seemed to be scolding the students. That dark expression said it all.

"If I see you doing something like this again, there won't be a warning," Sakura scowled at the two students.

"Understood!" The two students didn't dare talk back as they quickly walked away from her.

"Senior Sakura," Keith called out again. When he did, Sakura turned around,

"Hello Keith?" Before she could say anything else, "What are you doing?" It was difficult not to notice the large cart he was dragging.

"Ahh, I just finished with some of my work." Keith smiled.

"A cart?"

"Mmhmm! I sell food," Keith declared proudly and added, "Want to walk back together?"

"Sure." Sakura nodded as they headed back. As they did, "Senior, what were you talking about with the students?"

"Nothing much. They were causing some trouble outside the academy. I only scolded them."

"Eh?"

"There had been many students causing trouble," Sakura sighed.

"..." Keith looked away. He didn't want to look Sakura in the eye because he had also caused problems—that Todd Mills incident and the Herrick thing.

"What's the matter, Keith?" Sakura tilted her head as she stared at him. He was acting off.

"Nothing! Senior, you have worked so hard. Have this," Keith handed an apple to her as a reward for all the trouble she went through.

"Is that fine?"

"Of course! I have plenty on my island. Take some!" Keith smiled as he headed to the gates,

"I will see you again, Senior!"

"Goodbye," Sakura nodded as she walked away from there. But she looked down at the apple. It was interesting.

...

"Are you kidding me?!"

"How dare this human say something like that!"

"The audacity!"

Alfia and Faelyn returned to the mansion. When they did, the first thing they heard was an argument. A group of elves were bad mouthing someone.

"What's the matter?" Alfia frowned. And when the group of elves spotted her,

"Princess! We need you to seek justice!"

"Justice?" Justice for what?

"It's because of this human!"

"You mean Keith?" Alfia tilted her head. She realized whenever someone said, "This human," it usually meant Keith. Seven out of ten times, that would be Keith.

"Mmhmm! He talked down to me when I was about to buy his food!" The elf shouted. The other elves nodded,

"How dare he not sell it to you?!"

"Treat everyone with respect?! What a load of lard!"

"...What did Keith say to you?" Alfia frowned.

"He said a stuck-up elf like me can't buy any of his food! He told me that he doesn't sell to trash and told me to scram!"

"Then you should have scram," Alfia shook her head.

"Eh?" The elves never expected her to say something like that.

Alfia didn't look at them anymore as she returned to her room, leaving the elves dumbstruck.

"Do they really think I would believe something like that?" How dumb do they think she was? She wasn't a fool.

Keith was nothing like that. He was a little bratty. However, that didn't mean Keith was the type of person who would go after people. He wouldn't do something like that.

"Indeed," Faelyn was in agreement as well. From their interactions alone, Keith was a person who had her respect.

"I'm curious as to what that elf did to make Keith angry," One thing about Keith was that he wouldn't do something unless the person caused a problem first.

Case in point with Herrick.

"I want to figure out what happened before it did."

"I see,"
