Volume 4: Chapter 17: Stepping In

"Huh?!" The entire class was surprised. It was going to be random?!

"Are you kidding me?" Everyone murmured. They couldn't believe it. But Tennol scoffed,

"Do you think you won't have to work with someone of a different race in the future?!" This was going to be happening many times.

"..."

"Let's use this," Like that, Tennol took out a magical device and clicked a button. That caused a list of names to shoot forth. Each one was paired up with someone.

"Who did I get?" Keith looked at his name and found he was paired up with Scarlet. But that wasn't all. Krystal's name was there as well.

"Hmm? Why did I get three people?"

Tennol chuckled, "There was an odd number of people. So, I added someone to your pair,"

"I see," Keith looked around and spotted the two. He waved at the two, "It's a pleasure to be working with you two,"

"Mmhmm." Scarlet nodded.

"Yeah," Krystal was a bit colder. Like that, the spar began. It was between Keith and Scarlet. As they practiced with one another,

"Can you hold back a bit more?" Keith had a wry look. He could tell Scarlet was out to beat him up! Despite her efforts, Keith managed to block all of her blows.

"Do you think I can hold back against a person like you?" Scarlet didn't even hesitate to swing at his head. Keith ducked and held her leg,

"There's no need for kill moves," Keith groaned. That was a kill shot to his head! That wasn't the end. Scarlet kicked using her other leg. Keith easily caught it! However, that was what she wanted. She quickly hooked Keith with her legs.

"!" It was a strange sight as Scarlet had both her legs on his neck. But Keith sighed,

"Fine, you win." He placed his hand in the air.

"No," Scarlet frowned.

"Eh?"

"Fight me for real," Scarlet stated, "Take off those bracelets."

"I don't want to." It was a spar. There was no need to go for full power.

Krystal sighed, "Scarlet, he isn't going to go all out against us. We'll have to force him to go all out," This man was like that.

"Let's go," When Scarlet said that, Krystal came forward.

"Wait, what?! Why is it two on one?!" Keith scoffed as he quickly raised his guard and blocked Krystal's attack from the side!

While he blocked from the side, Scarlet started to attack his head. She was still locking him with her legs. Come on! As he was fighting with the two of them, Keith turned to Tennol,

Do something, Instructor Tennol!

"Prince Herrick! Get him!"

"Take him down!"

Keith turned to look at the beastmen who said that. With one glance, it shut them up. Herrick took the chance to dash at Keith!

"Let's fight!"

"That's quite enough!"

"Gah!" Herrick was sent flying away like a kite!

"You and Melor are quite the troublemakers," Tennol sighed. He turned to Keith, "Thank you for stepping up, representative."

"You two come with me,"

"Do you-Gah!" Herrick was going to say something, but he got blasted by Tennol.

"..." Insta kill. Herrick couldn't do anything and got wiped out.

Tennol didn't even wait as he grabbed the two's heads. Yes, heads. He was holding them like apples as he dragged them out of there.

"Instructor, are you okay?" Keith turned to the instructor.

"I'm fine. Just caught me off guard,"

"Ophelia, what about you?"

"I'm alright." Keith looked down at her arm. It was the place Herrick hit. It swelled up.

"Let me see that," Keith raised her arm. He quickly cast some magic. Slowly, the swelling went down.

"There, you should feel better with this," Keith smiled.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it," Keith smiled as he returned to his group.

"Sorry about the-what's wrong?" Keith noticed the two girls staring at him.

"How did you move so fast?" Scarlet and Krystal stared at him. How he moved so quickly was incredible. He dashed through all of the students to get to Ophelia and Herrick.

"That's because I can," Keith stated calmly.

"Anyways, let's fight!" Scarlet and Krystal cracked their knuckles.

"Wait! Why am I fighting the two of you again?!"

"Because you can." "And don't think about saying you can't." With how fast he ran, he shouldn't be tired.

"..." Keith didn't know what to say.
