Volume 11 Chapter 24: Go To The Library
This is a first. Muriel was quite dazed to find herself talking to someone for so long. And the person who she spoke to was someone no one would expect. Keith Freed, this year's representative. The number of rumors about him for a few months would be enough to cause anyone to be shocked. And about 75% percent of them were something that everyone had seen firsthand!
She had seen how Keith shot the lightning trident at Todd and then at him, fighting against Iston in the cafeteria. All of it was something no one could fathom doing in this academy.
The moment she heard that Keith was working with her, it was quite a problem. What if this guy bites my head off?! He was a monster in sheep's clothing. And she didn't want to get ended one month into S-class!
And her group was quite abysmal. There was one girl who was the same as her and was quite afraid of Keith, while the other guy didn't like them. This time was quite a screwball line-up.
But as she talked with him, she realized he wasn’t so bad. He was actually quite easy to talk with. As she entered the mansion,
"Hmm? The princess had returned."
"Did she do that again?"
"Hah,"
As Muriel returned home, instead of the warm greeting a normal royalty received, she got a cold shoulder instead. Muriel understood this as she looked down. That was when,
“Sister, where were you at this time?” Looking to the side was Chelan. The glare coming from him was something as if the merfolk didn't stay there any longer, and they quickly left.
“Nothing, I was out talking with someone.” Muriel let out a smile as she stared at him.
“I see,” Chelan nodded, “Do be careful and come back home much sooner.”
“Understood. But you shouldn’t train so much.” Loose clothes and scratches around. Anyone could tell this merman was training. And he hasn’t been stopping either. This was something that he found quite unsettling.
“I need to unless I can catch up to him.” Chelan frowned as he headed back. That only caused the girl to take a deep sigh.
...
What am I going to do about this? Keith realized that he needed to talk with the four. This was becoming a problem. There were a few days before they headed out to the dungeon. While others prepped for the dungeon, his group was in shambles. The main ones he needed to talk with were Lucy and Jerome. The two were the ones who he didn’t know so much about.
“Do you have to be so worried?” Herrick tilted his head, “Couldn’t you have steam-rolled everything down?” Keith definitely has the capabilities to just run down the enemies and solo the dungeon. It’s not necessarily something he needed to worry about.
Keith shook his head, “The entire purpose for this exam is because of this.”
“Hmm?”
“Let me ask you a question, what does everyone lack right now?”
“Uhh,” “Don’t say strength because it’s not that.” Keith cut him off before he had the chance to say his go-to answer. And that caused the lion man to be stumped.
“Unity,” Scarlet said, “The problem with everyone is that there’s no unity between races.”
Keith nodded, “Mmhmm, I want the others to work together and do something about it.” Besides them, everyone else was basically at one another’s throats. That was something that had to be changed going forward.
“I see, so that’s why you did a mash-up between everyone.” He was basically forcing everyone to get along with one another.
Keith chuckled, “Mmhmm, I thought it would be interesting. It was also the only move I could do." If they weren't working together, he would have to force it. And he couldn't sit still.
"Alright! I’m going to make a move!” Straightforward and straight to the point! Keith approached Jerome, “Meet me at the library; we’re going to talk about strategy.”
“Wha-” “I’m telling you to come.” Keith didn’t say anything as he walked over to Lucy next and did the same thing. The last one was Muriel as he walked back to his seat.
“Haha, always the direct one.” Carolyn chuckled. But that was what he needed to do.
…
At the library.
“...” Guess I’m the only one here.” Keith had called them all here, but it seemed that they didn’t care that much. I guess I have to make some general plans. As he was going to prepare,
“Sorry for being late,” Muriel entered the room. Keith smiled, “Mmhmm. It’s fine. Thank you for coming.”
“S-sorry.” Lucy was behind the girl as well. Keith nodded, “There’s no need to apologize. I guess the only one who hasn’t joined is Jerome.” But having both of them would be quite helpful.
“Alright, let’s talk about some things. For starters, I want to get to know your roles. I’m an all-rounder, but I recently started to be a tank for my party. I can use lightning magic and also earth magic well enough.”
“My position when I did the dungeon was rear-guard. I use water magic.”
“Mmhmm, Lucy. What about you?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Um-” “There’s no need to be so uptight. Take a deep breath.” Keith understood Lucy would need to calm herself down. She couldn’t speak up before them.
“...I’m a healer; I can use light magic to heal.” A tiny voice muttered as she stared at him. Keith nodded, “Understood. Then we should go out and test it.”
“Eh?”
