Volume 4: Chapter 8: Sparring Once Again

"Hah," Everyone shook their heads as they stared at Keith's expression. It was something. His expression was something indescribable. The man looked up at the sky.

The ghastly expression on his face has persisted since yesterday. The group was heading to their classroom. But the man continued to have that expression even as they walked.

Carolyn took a deep sigh, "Would you stop pouting like that?!"

"Can I not?" Keith questioned. This was an oversight on his part. How could he forget about it? Building the cart was important. But he had forgotten about one thing!

The major component of the cart!

That was the food! Keith couldn't believe it as a dry laugh came out of his mouth. Seeing this, everyone didn't know what to say about it. Sarah took the first move as she tried to cheer him up,

"Keith, you don't need to worry so much. You have all the time to think about what kind of food to sell."

Oh, yeah! What Sarah said made sense. There was no date for the stall's opening. That meant he had all the time to think about it. But he didn't want that.

I need to think of the menu fast.

Thinking up a recipe should be easy! In his previous life, he had opened up stalls during festival seasons. Not only that, he ate so much street food! There was no way he couldn't think up a good menu.

Now, what should I do? Keith frowned as he was lost in thought. While he was doing that, Carolyn and the rest stood to one side,

"Is this the usual?"

"Indeed."

"I guess Keith will be like this for some time." Jack analyzed.

"Well, we'll head to our class now." Sarah waved her hand as she headed to her class with Jack.

"I was going to ask Jack." Keith turned his head and realized Jack wasn't there! What the?! He looked around and saw Jack talking with a couple of people!

This man ran away!

"Sure," Keith nodded. He didn't mind. Like that, he was paired up with Krystal.

Keith raised his wooden sword, and Krystal did the same. The two stared at one another.

"They're going at it again."

"It's the battle between the strongest!" The students stared at Keith and Krystal in wonder. The two were the strongest students in the class. But before they started,

"Aren't you going to take off your bracelets?" Krystal questioned. Keith still had those things on.

"Don't need to,"

"Are you looking down on me?" Krystal frowned. But Keith shook his head,

"No. But I want to get my training in."

"I will make you take them off," Krystal gripped her sword and dashed towards him without a thought. Like that, the battle between the two started.

Shing!

"..."

Is that the sound of wood clashing with one another? That sounded more like metal! Everyone shivered from the sound the wood made.

Did she get stronger? Keith wondered. When he fought with Krystal last time, she didn't have that speed or power. But this was much different from before.

She wasn't holding back. Keith realized this.
