Volume 7 Chapter 19: The Idiot Kind

"..." Class continued onwards. They were in Tennol's class, where everyone was doing their own thing. Keith sat on the side as he watched the other students. What can I do to make this team better? There was something he needed to figure out. He had been mulling it over for a few days.

"Haha! Do you think that's enough to stop me?!" "Take this!" While Keith was lost in thought, he looked up to see Herrick and Melor fighting against some students. And it was one-sided! Those two were demolishing them.

Thank goodness those two didn't get any serious injuries. The nurse had told him the two only had bruises. The horns only caused slices; it didn't do anything fatal. Have a good night's rest, and a healthy meal was enough.

Did those two not hear a word the nurse said? A groan came out of his mouth. The nurse told them not to move around so much. Yet, they were doing just that! While Keith didn't know what to say,

"Should we do something about this?" Scarlet asked. She was practicing with Alfia.

"We can't do anything about it. I think he'll be moping like this for some time. He's worrying over nothing." Alfia frowned. Those two had survived and were moving around crazily. There was no need to be concerned.

"I think he's more worried about the team." Scarlet hit the nail on the head. Their team was strong. That was what everyone had thought. To see them defeated like that was a little unexpected.

"We should do something to help out." Scarlet pumped her fist.

"Yeah." Before Alfia could say what to do, her body was thrown to the ground! It was such a loud sound that it caused everyone to go wide-eyed.

"What was that for?!" Alfia glared at the demon.

"To get stronger, we need to increase our physique!" That was one way to help out the team. Compared to the others, mages had a weak body. They would need to increase their stamina and reaction.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"...So you throw me on the ground?"

"Mmhmm." Scarlet nodded, "Take it as a pat on the head." The elf went down head first.

"!" Alfia's eyes widened.

"Do you think I wouldn't notice?"

"You're going to get it!" Alfia crunched her knuckles as she was ready to duke it out!

"Faelyn! Go stop them," Jack muttered as he quickly ran away from the blast zone. Some students got caught in the crossfire and were sent flying.

"I don't want to get in the princess's way."

"How is that getting in her way?! You're there to stop her!"

"..." What are those girls doing? Keith shook his head.

...

Keith had a frown as he walked to his next class. But as he headed for the stable,

"Miss Krystal! How are you doing?"

"Do you need any water?!"

"I'm fine." Krystal didn't look at them as she continued forward. Even after she said this, the students continued to follow her. They were like dogs, ready for her beck and call. And the girl didn't seem to fancy it.

"Krystal!" With that one call, it caused the students to look at him. Their eyes turned wary as they got in front of her.

"What do you want with Krystal?!"

"Why is a Bradley person talking with a Rustchil?"

"..." Keith blinked. Then he stared at Krystal. And the look on her face said it all. But Keith shook his head, causing her to frown.

"Enough." Krystal scolded. That caused those guys to stare at her in shock.

"I don't need any protection." She walked away from them, leaving them speechless.

Keith commented, "You guys should back off of her." Leaving that one comment, he headed to class. But when he turned the corner, he spotted the girl.

"Hmpf!" "Don't "hmpf!" me. I don't want to get into that kind of trouble." No way was he going to help her with that. That was definitely going to add more fuel to the fire.

"Then what were those words at the end?"

"Advice."

"Don't do that. They're fakers."

"Same thing to you. Watch out for them." This girl should be more worried about them. The two continued to walk before Krystal asked, "So you were down about your first dungeon failure."

"Ugh, yeah."

"And were you thinking about how to get stronger?"

"Damn, you really know everything about me." Keith was in disbelief at how she hit the nail on the head. Besides Carolyn, who could read him like a book, Krystal was the second person who could do the same thing.

"I just know because you have that expression."

"What expression?"

"The idiot kind."

"Ehehe." Keith laughed.

"If you really don't know how to fix it. Ask someone." Krystal scoffed.

"Hmm?"

"It wouldn't hurt to ask people close to you about it. You do know a lot of people."

"I don't."

"..." Krystal paused and stared at him for a few seconds.

"Okay, I do." Keith laughed, "Thanks a lot. You really cleared my mind."

"Mmmm." Krystal didn't look at him any longer as they headed to class.
