Volume 13 Chapter 10: 

Later in the day, Keith stretched his hand as he headed over to the meeting room. He entered the room, “Yo! Fancy meeting all you guys again.” The other representatives were already there. The looks they had were quite something as they glared venom at him. Literal venom would be dripping out from staring at him. 

Clearly, they didn’t expect to see him here. 

However, Keith chuckled, “What’s the matter? Are you guys so scared to see me again? What? Did you guys expect someone else to be here instead?” And the boy went straight to the point. It was quite direct. Well, who could blame him? That was because all three of them had something they didn't like about Keith. 

“Representative Keith.” Angelica stared at Keith. That only caused him to wave his hand, “Alright, alright, I’ll play nice.” Sitting down on his seat, Elliot couldn't help but snicker, “Don’t think you can wave around like a fool just because you beat S-class.”

“Pff, and don’t act so cocky because you won by a sliver, SENIOR,” Keith emphasized. And that was a clear distinction. There was a difference in how people viewed the classes. Of course, S-class year 4 would be more popular than the others. That was because they were a known quantity. In addition, they would graduate in the next year, so people wanted to scout them for jobs. 

“Fon’t forget, I beat you all in popularity. And with a wide margin as well.” Keith chuckled. Popularity was something F-class took home, and it wasn't even a contest as they destroyed all the other classes regardless of grade. 

“...” The three representative eyes darkened when they heard that. But it was difficult to refute everything. Another issue came up for the boy; they were there when Chelan gave Keith the number of coins. And this guy still came back on top. 

"Do you think you can act all that because you came out on top of some arbitrary festival?" 

"Heh, arbitrary? Then does Senior want to have a go with me?" Direct and straight to the point! 

Jasbir changed, “Do you-"

“I dare!” Keith was right before the merman’s face. He had suddenly disappeared from his seat. His eyes looked straight into him, “And what are you going to do about it?” It was a threat. And the other two representatives were the same as well. 

Keith whispered, “There. Will. Be. No. Next. Time."

“!” Jasbir’s eyes widened when he saw the devilish look Keith had. But that was when Sakura muttered, “Keith, get down from the table.”

“Understood, Senior.” Keith returned to his seat, but he gave them a confident glance as Angelica began. “Now that we got all the pleasantry out of the way, I wanted to say good work to everyone there. And let it be done. But you guys will also have to clean up as well.” Hearing this, Keith nodded while the other three were still moping around. That was when everyone left the room, 

“Keith, did you have to do something like that?” Sakura sighed as she stared at him. The man shrugged, “I don’t know what you mean?”

“Please, you were obviously going to hurt Jasbir if he tried to make a move.” If Jasbir made any funny moves, Keith would have punched him out. 

"Hmpf, a punch to the face is nothing to what he tried to do." It was clear to him that one of the representatives was the one who tried to attack his cart. And he had a hunch it was more of the merman's doing than anyone else. 

“I wish I could have done more to help.” Sakura sighed. There was a lot of politics going on. Moreover, they couldn’t tie it back to Jasbir as they expelled those students for causing all this trouble.

“So, where are you guys going?”

“Your island.” “We’re hungry.”

“I see.” Keith shook his head as they headed to his island. But that was when the man put his hand out, causing them to stop moving.

“What’s the matter?” That was a sudden stop out of nowhere. Keith frowned, “I feel a dark disturbance in the mansion.” He was right as Aria flocked before him, telling him to run for it! But it was too late to run as people blasted through the door.

“Keith!” 

“Save us!”

“What happened here?!” Angelica’s eyes widened as she didn’t hesitate to cast her healing magic on them, 

“It’s not working!” This was quite a shock to her. But that was when Keith paled, “Oh no, this is not happening again.”

“You know?” But there was no need to say anything as the two came out, 

“Ahh, Keith, you’ve returned.” “Hello!” Long Yueying and Yukiko came out of the door with a smile on their face as they were wearing aprons, looking like a wife waiting for their husband. But the area coming from the side was quite something. Keith nodded, “Yeah. Umm, where is Grandpa Cadmus?”

“Oh, he said that he had something to do.” “Indeed.”

“...” Motherfu-

It was clear to him that the man had run for it. Yukiko added, “Since you guys are here, how about you help us taste-test some things. We cooked up quite a few things.”
