Volume 4: Chapter 22: Pathetic

I can't let this go on. Keith knew. He also understood how to stop this. After helping the student, Keith got up from the ground. 

"Keith?" Ophelia and Carolyn noticed how Keith got up. He looked so much different in those few seconds. The expression on his face was something. There was no emotion. 

The direction he headed toward was none other than Herrick and Melor. 

"Herrick, let's fight." Those were the only three words he needed to say. Herrick's grin widened when he heard that.

"I accept."

I'm going to put an end to this. Keith noticed the stunned expression Tennol and the rest had. He turned to Tennol, "Professor, I'm going to fight him here and now. Can you clear everyone?" 

"..." Tennol stared at Keith's eyes. He took a big sigh, "Fine. Only because you're the one asking for it, I leave it up to you on what you want to do,"

"Understood."

"Everyone, we're going to get out now," Tennol clapped his hands. Carolyn and the rest stared at Keith in worry. They were afraid something like this would happen. Like that, all the students were brought to the stands, watching them. They stared at the two in the training grounds. 

"This is going to be an interesting fight,"

"Indeed."

"Principal! Vice-principal! Why are the two of you here?!" Tennol turned his head to see Cadmus and Sohma standing next to him! 

"Because we heard a student got injured. And we came here to find a fight between two of our best students."

"Who do you think is going to win?" Cadmus questioned. 

"...I don't know. Keith didn't take off those bracelets," Sohma frowned. Keith was still wearing the gravity bracelet. If he fought without them off, Keith would win hands down. 

But since he still wore it, the outcome would be different. 

"It will be a tough match between the two," Tennol agreed. The two couldn't hear what was said outside as they stared at one another. 

Herrick stated, "I'm going to prove today I'm the strongest in this grade."

"Do you only care about being the strongest?" Keith frowned. 

"Being the strongest is the only thing that matters!" Herrick stated as he threw a punch. Like that, the battle between the two started.

Keith quickly took a step back. He had a tense expression as he watched Herrick swing his fists. A lot of power. That was the impression Keith got as he saw this. He continued to redirect the attacks coming from Herrick. 

"Get him, Prince!"

"You're the representative!"

"He's too weak for you!"

"Look at him running away!"

The crowd continued to scream like no tomorrow as they stared at him. Well, it was the beastmen and dwarves saying this. They watched as Keith was getting pushed back by Herrick. 

"They don't get it." Gabriel shook his head. That caused the beastmen to glare at Gabriel.

Cadmus questioned, "What do you mean, student Gabriel?"

"Keith isn't dodging Herrick because he's scared. What he's doing is analyzing." Gabriel commented. This was something Keith did all the time. He would take it slow in the beginning to get a grasp of the other person. 

"Who do you think is going to win?"

"Keith," Gabriel answered with a calm expression. 

"You!" The beastmen glared at Gabriel. He was asking for a fight!

"Can you tell us why?"

"That's because Keith is superior to Herrick in everything besides power," Herrick was strong. But he should be equal to Keith with the bracelets on. But that was only in strength. Keith was a cut above him in everything else. 

"I understand what you mean. But I doubt Keith will beat Herrick through his skills," Cadmus smiled. 

That caused the rest of the students to tilt their heads when they heard that. What did he mean by that?

"What's going on down there?" Everyone turned their head back to the battle. What they saw was Keith with a calm and sad expression while Herrick with a green one. 

"What did you say?!"

"It's pathetic," Keith repeated as he shook his head,

"Do you think you're the strongest with punches like this?"
