Volume 5 Chapter 27: Defeat

While Keith and Aria had the time of their life, the same couldn't be said about Herrick. A dark expression was plastered on his face as he swung his sword outside.

How am I on probation?! Herrick couldn't believe it. His punishment was to stay on the island for a few days! It was considered light for all the damage he caused. However, for Herrick, this was all wrong.

Those guys were the ones who started the entire fight! Herrick could hear it all.

"Have you heard? That Herrick joined that island!"Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

"He's such a horrible teacher! How could instructor Shire ask him to teach us?!"

"And he was so cocky as well!"

When that was said, Herrick couldn't control himself and started beating them up. As he did that, the instructor quickly arrived to break them up.

He got in trouble instead of those students? That didn't sit well with him!

"Are you really going to mope around like this?" Herrick turned to see Gabriel standing on the sidelines. He wore his training gear.

"Shouldn't you be in class?" It was the middle of the day.

"I'm skipping it," Gabriel answered coolly.

"I see," Herrick said nothing more as he returned to swinging his sword. As he did,

"You lost."

"..." Herrick stared down in disbelief. The sword was right in front of his throat. Gabriel took a sigh and moved his sword away from his throat.

"Stop acting so dazed. You lost." Gabriel shook his head.

"If I-"

"If you used your beastified state, you would have lost the same way." Gabriel finished his sentence. He knew what he was going to say.

"..." Herrick wanted to say something else. Yet, no words were coming from his mouth. That was because of how serious Gabriel was. His eyes were unwavering, displaying no doubt in his answer.

"I'll give you a piece of advice. It doesn't matter how hard you swing your sword or how you work out. You're not going to beat Keith and me." Gabriel commented before walking away.

"Good job, student Gabriel." As Gabriel entered the mansion again, he saw that Aidiun was waiting for him there.

"I didn't do anything that needs praise, professor."

"No, Herrick needed someone else to beat him." For Herrick to grow, he needed to lose more. He needed this right now. It couldn't be Keith again. That wouldn't make him grow as a person. It had to be someone else.

"I wonder when he's going to return," Gabriel muttered as he thought about when Keith would return.

"Indeed." Aidiun thought the same.
