Volume 8 Chapter 35: Embarrassment Of The Family 

"...How?" Carolyn mumbled, unable to believe it. That magic was the most powerful one she had learned. She thought for sure she would beat him.

"The magic is strong, but you don't have control over it. You don't have control of the starlights at all." As Keith jumped around, the starlights Carolyn fired were not even close to him at all. They were in front of him by a meter or two; Carolyn only thought she defeated him because of the explosions. That was how he knew she didn't have control over it.

"You need to have a full re-train." Even when she used it during the dungeon, it felt off. Like most it was more of her using more mana than Carolyn controlling it. 

"…" Carolyn looked aimless when he said that. 

Keith added, "Don't worry about it too much. You've grown a lot stronger than last time." Control was the only problem with her. Her power alone was enough to decimate anything in her path. If she could learn how to manage it, she would get stronger than before.

"..."

...

Keith and the others didn't change after the exam. Instead, they had to stay like this; it was a double midterm. After the magical midterm, it was going to be the combat one. They were given an hour break before the second one.

"Keith, snack us!"

"I'm on it. And I'm not a machine," A bunch of baskets came out, "Today, I prepared some lemon tea with dragon honey. Also, there's bananas and some smoked bacon and egg sandwiches." All of it was to lessen their fatigue. 

"Thank goodness," Everyone started to recover as much strength as they lost. Yet, "How are you guys hungry? You didn't even do anything." They just rampaged and one-shot their opponents. As he did so, "Where's Carolyn?" The girl wasn't in the training field at all. 

"I'm going to go look for her," Keith got up with a basket in hand. 

"I'll go with you." Sarah followed. She wouldn't have gotten far from here. As they glanced around.

SLAP! 

A giant loud sound resounded the hallway.

"How could you lose like that?! You're an embarrassment to the family!"

Huh? Sarah turned to him, but the man was nowhere to be found! He had dashed forth! 

"Brother, you need to stop." Oscar scolded.

"Our family is considered to be the strongest of the three! And you! How could you lose to him!" Felix raised his hand again. However, it never landed as his hand was grabbed.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Keith's eyes were narrowed. It was filled with coldness and anger. 

"Keith," Carolyn's voice was soft. 

"This matter is between family," Felix growled. 

"Family, my ass. You really think that's going to stop me?" Keith scoffed as he held his hand even tighter. 

"Please get away from Carolyn," Sarah quickly stood before Carolyn.

"Do you think you can order me? I'm your superior!" Felix's eyes grew dark. 

"Superior?" Keith laughed, "How are you superior when you got beat up by a kid?" 

"..." What? Sarah blinked. When did this occur? Keith beat up a prince? 

Felix's expression turned green, and he tried to break out of Keith's grasp. However, the boy's hand had other plans; they were like a vice, refusing to let go. 

"I don't give a damn if you're a prince. I can beat you up again if you like? I need a refresher before I head in for the next midterm." 

"You!" Felix glared. 

"Enough," Oscar stepped in, "It will cause a commotion if we fight here. Carolyn, come with us to the nurse." 

"Hmpf!"

"Let him go now, Keith."

"..."

"I promise you nothing like this will happen again under my watch. You have my word that Felix will not lay a hand on Carolyn."

Before Keith could say anything, he felt something tugging on his back. That was when he noticed Carolyn looking up at him.

"..." Keith sighed as he looked at Felix, "Touch her again, and I swear I'll make your life a living hell." His hand loosened.

"..." Keith didn't say anything else as he walked away. 

"Umm," Sarah scratched her head as she followed behind him. 

"Sorry about all of that," Keith apologized, "I got a little too hot-headed." Anger clouded his judgment right there. 

"A little?" Sarah blinked. That was you when you were a little hot-headed? What will happen when it's full?

"But it's strange; I didn't peg Carolyn's brother to be this much of a jerk." With how Tristan was, the others should also be kind, right?

"He's Carolyn's half-brother, major difference." Carolyn, Tristan, and James were siblings with the same mother. Felix had a different mother than them. 

"And he's someone I loathe." 

"Eh?" You loathe this guy? His loathing meant he immensely hated him.

"But what's this about you beating him up?"

"Oh, he slapped my brother before, and I beat him black and blue because of it." 

"...What?"

"I think I broke his arm as well during that time," Keith remembered the incident well. He had visited the royal capital to meet with Carolyn. And when he came out of the room, he saw Eric getting slapped by Felix. 

A sudden gong went through his head as Keith charged like a madman! He went feral like a wolf! Well, it was actually the beginning, but it was the combined might of James, Alvin, Derek, Eric, and Carolyn to pull him off. 

William and the rest of the adults were baffled by the situation. 

"..." Sarah was baffled. 

"But I hope she's alright," 

"Shouldn't she be? Prince Oscar is also with them," From what she saw, Oscar seemed like a good brother.

"He's ok. I never met him too much," Oscar was one of the princes he never met with often.
