Volume 8 Chapter 53: A Line Drawn
“Herrick, Melor! Chase after him!” Alfia’s expression paled. Keith usually stayed outside during this time. This was an oversight on their part.
He was the last person who should hear this.
“Keith! Don’t do anything foolish!” “Yeah! Don’t do anything-Dammit! He’s too far away,” The man had dashed away like lightning! And he had already entered the portal.
“Where is he even going?!”
“Where do you think he’s going?!” Gabriel groaned. There was only one place he could be heading to right now!
Where could that bastard be?! Keith glanced ferociously around the school. It hadn’t been long since classes had ended. The guy should still be roaming around the academy!
“Keith, why are you running around like that?” Maria called out to the guy. With how he ran around like a madman, there was no way she wouldn’t call out. Never had she seen him quite distraught like this.
“Where is he?!” Keith grabbed onto Maria’s shoulders.
“Who?!”
“Alger!” Keith’s eyes were bloodshot and red. That gaze caused Maria to flinch.
“Umm, he should be in his classroom talking with his classmates,” When that was said, Keith immediately dashed over to the classroom. But as he did so, Maria took a deep breath. What was going on? She had never felt this way before.
Such anger and rage. As she wondered,
“Maria! Did you know where Keith went?!” Gabriel and the two quickly arrived.
“Ah, to Alger’s classroom.”
“...Dear god, no.” The three’s expressions paled. But it was already too late as a giant sound came from a room!
...
Keith was in front of the door and opened it to see Alger talking to a group of people. They were all looking at the guy right now since he opened the door so loudly.
You! With no hesitation, Keith appeared before Alger and punched the guy in the face! That punch sent him flying upwards into the tables.
“...” Everyone froze. No one expected fists to be thrown from the get-go!
“How dare-” One student wanted to say something but froze.
Beast? Monster? What he was staring at was a crazed monstrosity.
“Screw off before I send you flying,” The amount of pressure Keith realized made everyone in the room gulp. They didn’t make a sound before this man. The beast’s eyes were locked onto him.
Keith stepped forward; as he did, the ground shook! He picked up the guy by the collar and then slammed him into the wall, “You piece of garbage!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You’re trying to use Carolyn in your twisted game!” Keith growled as he slammed the guy’s face into the wall, indenting it into it.
“Keith, cool it!”
“You’re going to kill him!”
“We know how you feel, but you need to stop!”
The three had arrived barely in the knick of time. Each one held him, trying to pull him back. But his eyes were ferocious.
“Crap! How is he this strong?”
“Chill out!”
But as the trio continued to hold him back,
Slap!
“What do you think you’re doing?!” Carolyn shouted as she stared at the boy. Keith calmed down, but then he retorted, “I’m going to end that bastard!”
“No, you’re not. He’s my fiancee!”
“Are you seriously siding with a guy that’s only using you?!”
“How is he using me? You don’t even know what is going on,” Carolyn retorted, “You’re overstepping your boundaries.”
“Do you understand how-” Before Keith could say anything else, another slap rang!
“You!”
“Let me make it clear for you right here and now, Keith Freed. I loathe you! I never want you to approach me again!”
“…” Keith’s expression froze. However, Carolyn didn’t mind it as she picked Alger up, “Let’s go to the nurse’s office."
“Thank you.” Alger nodded as he slowly got up from the ground. He may look weak outside. However, inside, he was elated. Carolyn was his and his alone. Her words last time still made him doubt, but not now.
“...” Keith stood there motionless. Gabriel and the two didn’t know what to say either. That was when someone took his hand. Keith looked down to see it was Krystal.
“Take a deep breath,” She could tell that a million thoughts were probably going through his head right now.
“...” Keith was silent for a few seconds before he had returned. But as he did so, there was a dark shadow looming on his back.
...
“Headmaster! There are limits to all of this!”
“You cannot say he didn’t do anything wrong!”
Some professors couldn’t stand it any longer. What Keith did was actually horrible on every account. The incident was definitely known to everyone.
“If we don’t punish him for this this time, others will definitely have a lot of say to it.” More students would probably go crazy because of this.
“Sent him to house arrest for 1 month,” Cadmus stated. What was this kid trying to do? Not even he could condone this.
“House arrest?”
“Shouldn’t he be locked up in solitary confinement?” This was light compared to other times. However, Cadmus shook his head, “He had broken out twice before. I’d rather him just stay on his island before breaking it again.”
“…” That was such a sound reason that no one could say anything.
“Aidiun, Tennol, you guys will be in charge of him,”
“Understood,” Aidiun and Tennol nodded. Those two were the closest ones to Keith.
…
“Really?! But he’s the one trying to cause trouble!” Melor felt this was BS. Alger was clearly the one trying to Carolyn for his own personal gain.
“The fact remained that he had attacked Alger. That falls in line here. And it’s worse that it’s a prince,” Clearly, the person in the wrong in this situation was Keith. But the others who knew what was really going on didn’t feel it was so.
“But it’s strange that the Philosopher Kingdom hasn’t said a thing about it,” Attacking a neighboring prince would definitely lead to dire consequences. This was just a slap on the wrist for Keith.
“...I can’t believe Carolyn would say all of that to Keith,” Sarah and the others came late. But they had heard everything Carolyn had said to Keith. Those words that came from her mouth were quite powerful.
“...How is he doing right now?” It was even more so to his childhood friend. If they felt something by her words, what was he feeling?
