Volume 5 Chapter 46: What Is Strength?

The next day, Keith headed to the backyard to work out. As he continued to exercise,

"You can come out and work out as well. I'm not going to bite." Keith didn't need to turn around as he said this. Who came out of the mansion was Herrick. He scratched his head,

"How did you know I was here?"

"You suck at hiding your breath," Keith could hear his breathing, "And the sunlight doesn't help with your shadow." Pointing at the ground, anyone could see the giant shadow Herrick made.

"..." Herrick was speechless. How embarrassing. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

"So what do you want?" Keith continued to swing his sword.

"I want to ask you a question,"

"Hmm?"

"What do you define strength as?" Herrick asked.

"You want my definition of strength?" Keith tilted his head. That was an interesting question.

"Mmhmm,"

"I guess my definition of strength is to do things others aren't willing to do?"

"Eh?"

"I'm not a hero or anything. I'm just another person. I will make mistakes at times. However, whatever my decision is, I will keep going forward, accepting the results." Keith stated calmly.

"..."

"I know, not a good answer." Keith chuckled as he asked, "Let me ask you the question, Herrick. What do you define as strength?" Since he asked this question, he should answer it as well.

But when Keith asked,

"....I don't know anymore," Herrick didn't know how to answer Keith's question. If it was a few weeks ago, his definition of strength was to be more powerful than anyone. However, he really didn't know what had happened.

Could he really call Keith weak after his decision? He did something most people wouldn't do because he saw the bigger picture.

"What the?!" Herrick looked down to see that the seed cracked! There was black smoke coming from it! He quickly ran to Keith,

"Keith, something is wrong with the seed!" Herrick screamed.

"Hmm?"

"Look!" Herrick brought the pot up.

Keith looked at the seed and then back at him, "The seed is dead,"

"What?!" Herrick's eyes widened.

"Let me guess, you didn't do anything with it," Keith raised his brow.

"...Yes,"

"Of course, it would be dead if you didn't do anything, you idiot!" Keith scolded.

"..." Herrick was silent.

"...Here's another one, try again." Keith handed another seed over to the guy.

...

"...Keith," Herrick's voice was weary. His eyes looked so apologetic. However, the same couldn't be said for Keith. His eyes twitched,

"How could you destroy 20 seeds in 2 days?!" It was only two days! But Herrick destroyed 20!

"...I'm sorry,"

"..." This was a first. Herrick actually apologized, and he meant it. Gabriel patted Keith's shoulders, "Keith, let's calm down." But Keith was about to explode. Taking one deep sigh, "I'm giving you another one. But this is the last time."

At this point, Herrick was playing a game with the reset button on hand.

Herrick jolted and nodded, "Understood. I will do it." Like that, Keith handed one seed to Herrick and walked away.

"Hah," Keith shook his head,

"Fira, can you do me a favor?" Keith turned to the little spirit.

"Hmm?"
