Volume 6 Chapter 15: Punishment

"Ready, you two?" Tennol asked. Keith and Scarlet were inside the arena.

"Ready!" The two shouted. With that, the golem was summoned! No hesitation, the golem dashed at the two. Keith quickly got in between the two and raised his shield, blocking the golem's blow. As he did,

How is this made out of stone? The attack power on the golem was not as strong as the one he faced in the practical. But it still packed a wallop! Is this because Scarlet and I are fighting it? The strength must have been adjusted for the two.

Keith quickly dodged the golem's blow. He continued to guard as he distanced himself from Scarlet. She was doing her job, chanting. And when he saw the magic circle shining,

"Hmpf!" Keith punched the golem with his shield and jumped away. And that's when a wall of flames smashed into the golem. The monster was blown to bits.

"Good job, you two. You may go back." Tennol clapped his hands. Keith and Scarlet nodded as they returned to the bleachers.

"A little more warning on the fire. I thought I was going to die." Keith could feel the fire right up his neck.

"I knew you could dodge it." Scarlet smiled.

"..." Keith blinked his eyes.

"Next pair up!" Tennol continued on with his class.

"So those two still haven't agreed yet?" When Keith returned, he noticed Herrick and Alfia were still arguing!

"This is going to go horribly."

"Don't think so." Scarlet interjected, "Even if they can't cooperate with one another, their abilities are still at the top." Alfia and Herrick were among the strongest in strength and magic.

"No, they're going to screw this up," Keith muttered.

"Hmm?"

"Sometimes, strength doesn't help you win."

It didn't take long before it was Alfia and Herrick's turn. When the two entered, Tennol gave them a strange look. When the pairs entered, they would either cooperate or grumble. But these two were about to fight one another!

"Are the two of you ready?"

"We're doing this!" "No, this!"

"..." How long are you two going to bicker? Tennol shook his head as he summoned the golem.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"You need to tank it,"

"I'm going to do whatever I want!" Herrick raised his sword.

"We need to deal with this together!" Alfia's expression darkened.

"Then match my pace!"

"It's not how it works!"

These idiots. Keith shook his head. Did they not see what was happening in the front? The golem came rushing at them. It was not giving them time to talk.

"Tch!" Alfia quickly stepped back while Herrick took the hit! He blocked it with his sword. The golem continued to swing its arms around. Herrick dodged before he bared his feet down and slammed his sword right into the center of the golem. However,

"What the?!" Herrick's eyes widened! His sword slammed into the golem. The problem with the sword was lodged into the stone. And the golem took the chance to smack Herrick away! The man was sent flying into the wall.

"You need to watch his moves!" Alfia roared.

"I'm doing that!" Herrick got out of the rubble and charged at the golem. When he did that,

"Get out of the way!" Herrick turned his head to see a fireball. And that smacked dead on at Herrick! The beastman glared at her,

"Are you trying to burn me?!" "You got in my way!"

"Princess! Look forward!" Faelyn called out. Melor did the same, "Keep your cool!" While they argued again, the golem attacked!

"Gah!" Herrick was sent flying again; this time, he flew at Alfia. The two smash into the wall again.

"You damn fool!"

"I'm the fool? You need to watch where you're going!"

"Watch out!" The golem was before them again, ready to slam its fist down. Before it had the chance,

"That's enough!" Tennol clapped his hand. When that happened, the golem paused. Tennol looked at the two, "The two of you failed."

"..."

"Go back to the stands." Tennol shook his head. He couldn't look at the two of them.

"..." Alfia got up from the ground and glared at Herrick. But the latter did the same.

This was your fault!

...

"Alright, time for your punishment." Tennol grinned.

"Punishment? When was there a punishment?!" This was not part of the script.

"Of course! There should be punishment after the abysmal performance from the ones who failed." Tennol grinned.

Can you not grin like that? The way he looked made it seem like he would do something evil. And that was precisely what he was going to do.

"I got the go-ahead from the other professors. The students who failed the assignment will be wearing this." Tennol took something out.

"Bracelets?" In Tennol's hand was a pair of bracelets.

"It's really simple. Keith, come up here." Tennol grinned.

"...Can I not?" "No,"

"Hah," Fine. I deserve it. Keith got up and wore one bracelet. When he did, a purple string formed, connecting with the bracelet on Tennol's wrist. It disappeared

"Basically, if I move like this," When Tennol moved his hand, Keith slapped himself in the face!

"Instructor!" Keith's eyes twitched.

"And you can move the other person up and down." Tennol started to move around, and that caused Keith to move!

"Basically, the person copies the other's moves."

"..."

"You guys will have it on for a few days."

"What?!" The failed students groaned, "What about sleep?!" Were they going to sleep with it on?!

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it. Your managers will take it off during baths and sleep." They thought it through.

"..."

"Now, failed students. Take one."

"I can already tell this will be a hectic day."

"Indeed," Keith chuckled.
