Volume 6.5 Chapter 74: Isn’t It Kind Of A Flex?
"Ugh." Keith groaned. Are they going to keep staring at me all day? A few days had passed since the rumors had started. And it did not die down at all. They continued to stare at him like no tomorrow. Soon, a deep sigh came after as he knew this would keep happening for some time.
"Ngeh!" Knight nudged Keith's shoulders, and the man looked up. A grin formed on his face as he patted the horse's head, "Sorry about that. I won't lose focus on the track." There were other things he needed to focus on. Those rumors were an afterthought.
"Keith! You're up!" Tennol called out. Keith nodded as he brought Knight onto the track.
...
"Great job, Knight." Keith patted Knight's head. As always, the two of them had demolished everything in their path. The two were now resting on the side.
"Here's a carrot for your efforts." Keith fed the horse. As the two waited on the side,
"Hey,"
"Hello," Keith nodded at Krystal. The girl sat on the side with him.
"What's the matter?"
"..."
"..." Are you not going to say anything? The two of them were in an awkward silence. But it was to be expected when it was Krystal; this was how she was.
"I wasn't the one who caused the rumor."
"Eh?" A dumbfounded voice came out of Keith. He stared at the girl's face, who was completely serious about what she had just said. He nodded and explained,
"You don't have to worry about anything. I never thought it was you who did this." Never in his mind had he thought Krystal was the culprit who caused this.
Krystal sighed deeply, "Then do you know who did?"
"No, but if I have to guess, someone who had a gripe with me?" Many people wanted to take a shot at Keith. And it was too many to count. Plus, he had beaten up Iston and Todd; their friends might want revenge.
"This rumor will be gone in a few days or so. There's really nothing to worry about." This was something Keith had a hunch in. Despite going for a few days, he felt it would die down after some time.
"How about it? Do you want to spar?" Keith grinned.
"Sure." Krystal cracked her neck as she was prepared to fight. Sparring against her was able to bring his mind to ease.
...
"Ahh, I feel so much better!"
"You feel better! But what about me?!" Jack had a dark expression as he glared. Yet, that dark expression couldn't be expressed fully when there was a giant swollen bruise on his head!
"You and Krystal are so ruthless!" Were they born in the same house?! After they sparred with one another, they also decided to go against the others. And the bloodbath they caused was something. That alone caused the other students to cry!
Keith shrugged, "I really don't care much about this news."
"Eh?"
"Do you guys believe that I would do something like that?" Keith questioned.
"Of course not." "Heck no!" Only two things were going through Keith's mind; food and food. There was nothing else in his brain. He was dangerous. But he wouldn't pick fights.
"Yeah. I only care about what you guys think of me."
"Keith."
"Also, is it weird that I kinda feel like it's a slight flex as well?" Keith scratched his head.
"..." Their looks were telling him to explain.
"You know, those guys couldn't go out with those girls. Yet, I can? Isn't it kinda like a flex?"
"You know if you say something like that, everyone would have killed you on the spot?" While the news tried to mess with him, this guy felt it was a good thing!
Gabriel and the rest shook their heads. Only this guy would think of it like that!
Keith turned to Alfia, "Alfia, are you alright with this?"
"Hmm?"
"One of those photos had you in it." One of the photos was her; it was the back of her head. But it was more than enough. If a student stared at it briefly, they could tell it was her.
Alfia shrugged, "I don't really care that much. Also, this is helpful for me as well."
"Huh?"
"If people think I'm dating a human, then no one would dare come and ask me out." Who was Keith? This guy was crazy strong for no reason. He would pop some people if they tried to make a move.
"So I'm happy about it!"
"...I see." Evil. The look on her face showed how devious she was. She was planning to use Keith as a foil!
While they walked to the cafeteria,
"What?! Why is he not showing his true colors?!" A few feet away, the group was being stared at. More specifically, Keith. His expression was bright, completely unfazed about what was said in the newspaper.
How could he continue to be like that? Is he really- No!"
