Volume 5 Chapter 7: Pacify Everything

"There was so much work." Aidiun raised his hand into the air. He had finished his paperwork and was ready to return to the island.

"Aidiun, you have been returning to your island so chipperly," Tennol smirked. The elf finished his work these past few weeks earlier than the others. He would leave an hour earlier than everyone.

"It's because this guy gets to eat delicious things when he returns home," Shire commented.

The professors understood why Aidiun was returning home so soon. That was because he got to eat delicious things.

Aidiun laughed, "Aren't you guys getting delicious food from the cart?" Aidiun knew about how his colleagues had been going to Keith's stall. That was how delicious it was.

"Of course!"

"But student Keith isn't selling anything today!"

"I can't believe he's not opening all the time.

Keith had decided to not run the cart full-time. He was still a student. He had to do some balancing. That balancing tortured the professors. It was something that caused them to bang their heads against the wall. One asked Aidiun,

"Aidiun, can't you ask him to do something about this?"

"Can't. Keith is a student first. Also, shouldn't we be asking them to do this instead?" They were all professors. Their job should be to promote learning, not do the opposite!

"There are some things we need to do."

"And this is not the time!"

"Yeah!"

Aidiun shook his head. Bunch of gluttons. He didn't look at them as he headed back to the island. But when he returned,

"Eh?" Entering the mansion, he saw his students peeking through the door. Even Sohma and Cadmus followed their moves.

"What's the matter, everyone?" Aidiun tilted his head, confused. Did something happen in the kitchen?

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

Carolyn quickly whispered, "Professor Aidiun, don't go in there."

"You'll get caught in the crossfire," Gabriel added.

Crossfire? Aidiun tilted his head as he peeked through the door. And what he saw was a dark aura!

All of that deadly energy was coming from Diana.

"What were you thinking?!" Diana roared at the woman kneeling on the floor. The woman was crying as she kneeled. It was quite a pitiful sight.

"But he wanted to fight with me!" Nephele cried.

"That doesn't mean you fling him across the stratasphere!" Diana retorted. She continued to lecture Nephele. The latter shivered as she didn't want to look at her gaze. It was that of a monster.

Aidiun asked, "Herrick?" There was a lot of doubt in his voice as he asked. The guy couldn't have done something reckless again...right?

"Mmhmm." Keith nodded. There was no need to ask who the cause was.

Herrick saw a new person on the island and wanted to fight. And Nephele did just that. What happened next was Herrick being sent through the sky.

He was flying for quite some time before he was dropped on top of the roof. Keith and Gabriel had to go get him down.

"I see," Aidiun grabbed his head. What am I going to do with that child? One day and two flying. That was an achievement. But who sent him flying? He was surprised someone could deal with Herrick so easily.

He glanced at Nephele, and his eyes widened. He turned back to Keith, "Keith, is that-"

"Yeah." Keith nodded. One look and Aidiun could tell Nephele was a great spirit.

A great spirit was being forced to kneel down and lectured by another.

"Keith, do something." Carolyn tugged on Keith's shirt. She felt pity for Nephele.

"What do you want me to do?!" I'm not Kreye! He wasn't a god. Heck! Kreye might not be able to deal with something like this! With how he had to kneel to Rhea, there was no shot.

"You're about the only person who could go in there and survive!" Carolyn stated. This wasn't about helping the situation. It was about doing something. They couldn't stand outside and watch this unfold.

"Yeah!" The others nodded their heads. Keith gave them a strange look,

"I'm not superhuman! And shouldn't Grandpa Cadmus be the one dealing with this?! You know Diana longer than me!"

"Heck no! You're asking me to die!" Cadmus waved his hand. There was no way he was going to get into that. It was like pouring oil into a fire!

That was asking for trouble.

"Tch!"

"Are you still holding a grudge?!" Cadmus blinked his eyes as he saw Keith. This man could not let things go!

"Keith, you have to do it."

"...Fine. Let me see what I can do." Keith stepped up as he entered the kitchen.

"Diana?"

"..." Diana turned her head to him. And the look on her face was something. It was beyond threatening!

"Have something to drink. You look parched." Keith brought out a drink.

"..." Are you recharging her?! We were not asking you to make the situation worse!

Diana quickly grabbed the glass and chugged the drink down in one gulp! Keith was right. She was parched.

"Do you feel better now?"

"Mmhmm." Diana nodded. Her lips were getting dry from all that screaming.

"That's great. Let me cook something up. We have a few members joining today." Keith smiled.

"But Keith,"

"It's alright. And besides, Herrick is partly to blame for the mess." Keith grabbed his head.

Herrick was battle-crazed for no reason. He had to scold him later.

"..."

"Please, I wouldn't want such a beautiful face to be full of wrinkles." Keith grabbed Diana's hand as he said this.

"...Alright." Diana didn't say anything for a moment before nodding.

"Big Sister Diana was stopped?!" Nephele was surprised. And she wasn't the only one.

"I swear, that kid could pacify anything," Cadmus remarked. The others nodded their heads to that!
