Volume 12 Chapter 55: 

After an hour, a good number of people were already before the exchange stall. Vera couldn't help but mutter, “Woah, there’s a lot of people here.” The number of people here topped everything they had seen before. 

“When there’s a variant in play, there would be the ones to get it first.” Keith walked over to them, which caused them to pause. 

"What's the matter?" The boy tilted his head as he watched them stare at him. 

“I keep forgetting that you're a noble.” Coen and the others muttered as they stared at Keith. The man now wore a three-piece suit. It was a simple and elegant black suit with nothing on it. That made it even more surprising since this was all about Keith’s looks. His looks made it even better than before. 

"Really?" A chuckle came out of his mouth. 

“Dude, you act insane and speak with us casually. So we always thought you were a commoner.” He was way too casual to be a noble. But seeing him so pristine and handsome, they couldn't say anything about it. 

“Muriel is actually a princess.” Beside Keith was the sea princess, wearing her beautiful aquamarine dress. Her cheeks turned red, "Do I have to be on stage too?" This was something she didn't expect at all. Keith just suddenly threw this on her. 

"Of course! You look so nice together!"

"Yeah! You need to shine, Muriel!"

"Mmhmm!"

Keith did not say this, but Vera and the other F-class students did. They couldn't help but be in awe of her. She was dorky and pristine, but she looked beautiful and awe-inspiring. 

“And while I talk, I need a beauty to pull out the letters.” Keith grinned. He was the announcer, while Muriel was the beautiful lady.

“...” Muriel’s cheeks turned red. But that caused Keith to look at his pocket watch, “Oh, let’s go now, my dear.” He raised his hand gently for the woman to hold. Some of the F-class students couldn't help but squeal while the princess took his hand.

That was when the two walked to the stand.  

There was a roar when they heard all of this. Seeing a handsome man and a beautiful woman walking up together would rile up the crowd. 

"Thank you! Thank you! Muriel, did you hear that? They're all calling you such a beauty." Keith giggled as he pouted lightly, "But I don't hear people calling me handsome."

"You're handsome as well!"

"So hot!"

"Please marry me!" 

Not wanting to let the handsome man down, some females started to jeer. That only caused Julius to chuckle, "That kid is great at riling up the crowd." 

"He's always been good at controlling the crowd." From the bakery to the chocolate factory, his son knew what to do. 

“I hope everyone is ready for this! It’s time to pull out the winners for the prizes!” Keith shouted with a happy smile, “The one who shall be pulling the name shall be my beautiful assistant, Muriel!” 

“Hello, everyone.” Muriel did a light bow to them. That was when Keith grinned, “Before we begin, I want to give everyone some heads up. For starters, we’ll call out the number that is picked out. However, You won't be taking away your prizes. We will give it to you in a safe location, as guaranteed by our deputy headmaster.” He couldn't just let them go without a thought. That would let people go on a rampage as there would be a chance for the people to steal it. 

When the nobles heard that, they nodded. Made sense. Keith smiled, “Now that that's out of the way! Let's bring our lucky draws on who shall take that 1 pound of meat!” Muriel stuck her hand into the pool with that shout and took out three balls. 

“Muriel, if you would be a dear, show them the numbers.” Keith grinned as Muriel showed off the balls.

40, 10, 57

“These are your lucky winners for the meat!” Keith smiled as he said this. But as he was about to say something,

“Wooohooo! I got myself some meat!” And that had come from one lion king, which Keith didn't say anything but continued, “My, my. We have ourselves a happy winner...but let's not forget about the other rewards, shall we?” There were still some things that needed to be done.

“Let's pull for the winner of those who shall obtain the bones!” Two winners were going to get it. That was when Muriel grabbed the balls again,

47, 87

Unlike the first one, there was no cheer or anything. There was only silence as the winners didn't want to be spotted. 

“And now for the magic stone!” That changed the others. Of course, it would be different since the magic stone is the most precious thing ever from the body. That was when Muriel had taken it out of the pool

“Wooohooo!” That was when he heard a loud shout from a certain king.

“...” Yeah, not going to say anything. Keith then grinned, “And now for our last item, the teddy bear!” Keith grinned as the giant teddy bear had been rolled into the podium.

Surprisingly, the item that was more sought after was the damn teddy bear! Keith had to come to the decision of whether or not the magic stone or the teddy bear would go. That was when he decided to use the damn bear because there were actually more people who chose it.

“What in the world?” Even Keith was a little surprised, but who can blame them? It was a cute bear. 

“Let's begin!”
