Volume 8 Chapter 21: Study Session Part 1/2
"Oh, that would be a little later. Constructing the training field and farm area before the others." Pergola would need a lot of muscle, which took longer than the rest. The farming area and the training field would be quick.
"And here I thought I could use that to relax." Cadmus sighed deeply as he remembered the one at the Freed Estate. He could take naps there and chill in the sunlight.
"..." You really want one, huh? And aren't you relaxing here? The hammock he made was mainly used by this dragon. It was quite a predicament as the others couldn't; it was decided that it was his spot.
"Farm first." But the moment Keith muttered this, "We will also need farm animals." How could he forget about that?
"Wait a moment," Krystal paused, "What kind of animals are you planning to raise?" The others were quite interested in that as well. The man did say before about raising some animals. Yet, he never talked about what kind.
"I was thinking about having some cows, chickens, and goats. That way, we can have fresh eggs and milk daily." That was what Keith thought. When he obtained Bei, he knew what he wanted; animals that could help make things. He got the honey. Now, he wanted the other ingredients.
"Oh! That's interesting!" Herrick clenched his fist; there were a lot of animals that could do so.
"I always wanted to raise a chicken!" Scarlet said something quite particular.
"…That would be interesting." Everyone's interest was piqued; the thought of fresh ingredients excited them. How would it taste? Vegetables were already delicious!
"Okay, since everyone is in agreement, here's the main issue, where do we get them?" Gabriel questioned.
"…" All eyes turned to Keith.
"Ugh, that's something I don't know either."
"..." You don't know?
"Don't you own many farms," Last time they checked, Keith's family owned a merchant group that used farm animals for their ingredients?
"True. But that was what my dad did. I left it to him." Most of the time, he left those things to William while helping out Coyler and such.
“…”
"Grandpa Cadmus, you know where we can get farm animals?"
"I'm not a farmer." Cadmus scoffed. How was he supposed to know where to get them?
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
"Then we have no choice." Keith took a deep sigh that caused everyone to tilt their heads.
"We'll lure them in with fruits, shove them into the portal, and wallah, we have farm animals."
"Are you crazy?!" Alfia was the first to retort. That was asking for trouble!
"Got a better idea on how to get them?" That was the only thing that came to mind.
"How about you go to your merchant store to see if they have some on standby?" Gabriel thought. With such a big merchant group, there should be rows of them,
"True!" Keith clapped his hands together.
"Also, we can get wild animals as well." Keith's idea was also intriguing.
"We'll just have to have you do it." Everyone nodded. The animal man was going forward.
"Then I'll ask Dalen to make it work."
"Also, you guys are free for tomorrow, right?"
"Hmm?"
"I have something for all of us to do." Keith grinned.
…
"Keith, explain," Scarlet was the first one to question.
That was when Keith coughed, "Today, I have two important guests. Please welcome the student council president and the disciplinary captain!"
"We know." Of course, they know about the two girls.
"Since our midterms are coming up and Professor Aidiun cannot help us due to paperwork, I asked the two of them to help tutor the ones that need help." That was what Keith requested when he went there. Angelica and Sakura both were 1 and 2 in their grade. These two would definitely be able to help everyone out.
"Who do we start with first?"
"Hmm, I think the two of you should help out Jack and Arlo first. The two of them need the work." Herrick and Melor were close to failing, but they passed somewhat. Jack's the same; physical abilities were high. But there was a downside to everything.
"Angelica, please help out Arlo."
"Understood." The two girls nodded.
"It's a pleasure to be working with you!" "Mmhmm!" Arlo and Jack perked up.
"Gabriel, I leave you to deal with Herrick and Faelyn with Melor." The two of them had the highest in terms of studying.
"Scarlet and Alfia are assistants."
"What about you?"
"Oh, I'm going to be cramming the materials. I got like a quarter left."
"Huh? You remembered all of that?"
"Yeah, it was pretty simple." Keith sighed as he took out the papers and started to glance through them. As he did, the others did the same as well.
"Herrick, this is not how you do it!"
"What are you doing here?! How could you get this wrong?"
As Keith focused on the work, he could hear the sounds of two pairs yelling at the two. Not surprising. Not soon after came the sounds of Herrick and Melor crying!
"I don't want to work!"
"This is too difficult!"
"You two need to learn how to study more." Gabriel and the others couldn't believe it.
"Just look at Jack and Melor." The two were on the side as they worked.
"This isn't how you do it."
"Understood. Like this?" Jack asked Sakura.
"Mmhmm. Good job."
"You're doing such a good job, Arlo." Angelica clapped her hands. That caused Arlo's face to turn red, "It's only because of you, Senior."
"Here's a cookie as a reward." Angelica patted as she fed him cookies.
Two scenes were covered in roses; one was black flowers, while one was white and pure. Either way, it was quite a lovely sight.
"We want that!"
"Why can't we get the kind seniors?!"
It was heaven and hell here!
"Can't they help us?"
"You two need more help." They were exceptional cases.
