Volume 8 Chapter 16: Today Is A Beautiful Day

Keith and the rest headed to class. But as they did, something strange occurred.

"Don't you think today is quite beautiful?" Keith had a bright smile as they walked. Herrick and Melor were the same, "Mmhmm, mmhmm."

"Were the mangos laced with something? Everyone is so happy."

"You shouldn't be saying that, Jack. Your expression is the same." Jack was all smiles as well. Those mangos were definitely the cause of their smile. Especially the LY mangos.

"But what's the matter with them?" Leona questioned. He noticed how everyone didn't dare to look in their direction. They were being treated like a plague as they scooted away.

"Now that you mentioned it." Krystal tilted her head. It was strange as well.

"That's because of you?" Are you really asking this question?

"Really?"

"You think?" A brow was raised on Keith's face as he stared at the girl. This had 100% to do with her. The students weren't staring at him or the rest but focused on Krystal. However, not now.

Krystal's family was branded as traitors, and many students scorned her because of this. However, news that Krystal's father wasn't a traitor was posted. Of course, those who tried to mess with her wouldn't dare to look at her.

"They're so scared that you might blast them." A grand duke wanting revenge would be something catastrophic. Even if they could stop her, the damage she caused would still be deadly.

Krystal sighed, "They're thinking I would do something to them? Do they think I have enough time?" Why would she care about them? The only ones she remembered were the ones who tried to force her to join some stupid club. But they were dealt with by Keith.

"But this helps us out." Alfia sighed in relief.

"Hmm?"

"No one is going to bother us any longer." Scarlet chuckled. The entire group was being stared at by everyone; they were a bunch of animals in a circus.

"Hey, I'm the one who got stared at the most." The number one person who got all the attention was Keith. Krystal only took first after the news. He was the one looked at like a fool.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Haha." The group started to separate from one another. Entering the classroom, Keith spotted Carolyn.

"Morning."

"Morning. Why do you look so tired?"

"Cramming all the information I missed. But I feel like I got the hang of it." Keith had been jamming all the information into his mind. Carolyn chuckled, "Remember to pace yourself."

"I know." Keith waved her off, "I should be the one saying that to you."

"Hmpf."

"Good morning, class." Aidiun soon entered the classroom, "Let's begin now." Aidiun didn't wait as he started to write on the board. As he continued to do this,

"Keith, can you explain the artifact classes to us?"

"Mmhmm." Keith started to explain each class slowly.

“…” The students couldn't believe how fast he was going. There was something wrong with this! Wasn't he supposed to be gone for a week?! How does he know all the materials?! Alfia and the others didn't look at him.

This monster!

"Thank you." Aidiun nodded, "Herrick, can you repeat what Keith said?"

"Ugh." Herrick blinked. You want me to repeat all of that?!

"Keith, what are you?" After all of that, Scarlet couldn't help but question this guy. How was he able to do all of this so easily?

"I'm just me." Study hard and work. That was all it took.

"This monster."

"Keith, let's-" Carolyn was about to say something to Keith. However, two people entered the class, "Keith, we need to speak with you." A cold yet beautiful voice called out his name. Yet, that only sent shivers down his spine!

Angelica and Sakura were waiting by the door.

"Ugh, can I not?"

"What do you think?"

Keith was going to leave through the window! His speed was frightening. Yet, it was expected by the two beauties. A rope latched onto his leg!

"Are you kidding me?! Where did you guys get a rope?!" Never did he expect them to do something drastic. And it was by Sakura, no less!

"We expected that you would run away from us." Sakura could tell from a mile away! His demeanor and movement said everything!

"Help me out!" Keith then turned over to Gabriel and the others. But what they did was look away, trying to be invisible!

"Come on! What about our friendship!" Keith roared as he tried to wiggle around. But that only caused the two girls to tug tightly, "That doesn't matter right now."

"Now come with us!" The two girls didn't want to hear anything from her as they dragged him to their island.

"Did he just get tied up and brought away?" Herrick muttered, trying to play it cool. No one would expect something like that, even when you said it out loud.

“…” Even right now, everyone was speechless.

"Why do you guys seem so calm?" Krystal noticed how there wasn't any backtalk. Scarlet and Alfia would be the ones to say something about it. However, the two did nothing and watched. That was something shocking.

"Ah, that's because the two had been coming here for quite some time."

"Eh?"

"Yeah, the two visited to see if Keith returned." Angelica and Sakura would come to their class. At first, the two had glanced around the classroom before leaving. That was when Gabriel approached them and explained that Keith had gone somewhere to deal with something.

That didn't stop the two from coming there.

"It was kinda pitiful," Scarlet muttered. Angelica was more of an open book as she showed her expressions. Scarlet would look away, but she was more like a cat that stared in longing.

"Feels bad for the two of them."

"I feel more like Keith is going to get into more trouble." Keith was definitely going to be chewed out. He was going to be blasted like no tomorrow.

"…" Carolyn was silent.

"Carolyn, do you want to eat with me?" While the girl was lost in thought, Alger entered the classroom.

"...Sure." Carolyn nodded and then walked with Alger.
