Volume 8 Chapter 13: Recouping Everything They Missed

"I missed it!" "Thank goodness you have returned, Keith!"

Herrick and Melor exclaimed as they munched on their breakfast like monsters.

"Are you going to say that? Diana's a good cook as well." The great spirit of nature was in charge of cooking with him. With Keith gone, the one who took charge was Diana. She was a fantastic cook. She was the one who prepared dinner yesterday as well.

"Of course, Dorm Mother Diana's cooking is amazing," "She's the only reason why we didn't complain so much,"

This was so true. Things would have become dangerous if Keith had disappeared without preparing backup for them. Herrick and Melor would have gone crazy. However, Diana's cooking had brought them down to the ground. They were able to keep their sanity because of her.

"Indeed." The others took a deep sigh as well.

"Thank you for the praises."

"But your cooking is much better," Nephele added. There was a difference between Keith's cooking and hers. The human was a better cook in general than the great spirit.

"...I will get there soon."

"Mmhmm, I know you will." Diana's cooking was getting better by the day. That brightened the spirit.

"By the way, where's Grandpa Cadmus?" Glancing around, Keith noticed how the dragon was nowhere in sight. Sohma was not here either. This was odd since Keith didn't need to call him; he would just be here.

"Cadmus, who?" Diana questioned.

"...Forget I said anything." Keith sipped his coffee, trying his best to change the subject. Did something happen when he was away? It was as if hell had frozen over. Even Herrick and Melor shut their mouth as they looked away, not wanting to be a part of this; they were shivering in their boots!

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Aidiun and the rest were quite scared.

What did the dragon do to make her this furious?

"Professor Aidiun, can I ask what Krystal and I missed in these last few classes?" They had almost forgotten, but they were out for a week, and it was midterms. That was not good for them as students.

"Yeah." Krystal's expression contorted as she realized this as well. A week was a long time; plus, the fact they were in S-class didn't help. The two would have to recoup as much as possible.

"I have everything here." Aidiun was prepared; what came out was a giant pile of papers!

"..." Keith and Krystal let out a dry laugh before the boy muttered, "We seriously missed out on so many things."

"Mmhmm. We were going strong those last few days." Aidiun and the other instructors compiled everything they did these last few months and reviewed it.

"Sucks to be you!" "Haha! Now you two get to suffer what we did!" Herrick and Melor jeered. But that was not the end,

"Herrick, Melor, here are your papers as well."

"Eh?"

"The two of you need more practice." Aidiun shook his head. These two were so bad at studying that it made him worried about their future.

Keith cracked his knuckles, "I better work on memorizing this. Krystal, you too."

"Understood." Each one took a pile as they headed into their rooms to begin cramming.

"...Did he say he was going to memorize all of it?" Jack muttered.

"Did he not see the pile in front of him?!" There was something really wrong with this.

"Leader is amazing!" Arlo's eyes glimmered.

"Will they be alright?" Scarlet scratched her head. Herrick and Melor had the most issues, but the others weren't doing well. The materials they were being crammed at the end were just unfair.

"Keith will be fine, while Krystal is quite the studious student," Those two were actually the perfect ones who could do so. Keith was superhuman, and he could memorize things quickly. Krystal was similar; Aidiun saw how she studied. She was a pretty hard worker. These two could actually make it work.

"…." Alfia and their expressions darkened.

"By the way, did you guys feel anything different about Keith?" Sarah questioned. Her eyes had been locked on the boy.

"No, there was nothing wrong with him." Keith had been doing things at the same usual pace. It was the same routine as he went out to pick up vegetables and cook for them.

Sarah frowned, "Are you sure? Shouldn't he be worried or something?" Keith and Carolyn were childhood friends for quite some time. However, Keith's reaction was normal. It was as if nothing had occurred between them.

"…" Alfia and the others really didn't say anything.

"We just need to leave him to his own devices," Leona stated.

"..."

"This is not our place to say anything. This is between the two." Them joining in on this would probably cause more trouble for the two.

"True."

"And we got our own problems to deal with as well." They needed to focus on the midterms.
