Volume 4: Chapter 24: Chill Out
"Principal, you have to stop this!" Carolyn was worried now. Herrick was taking it too far.
"What? Are you trying to run from this?!"
"Humans are such cowards!"
The beastmen started to mock Carolyn. Keith was the one who started this fight. There was no way he could run when he was on the losing end.
Cadmus shook his head, "Student Carolyn, there's really nothing to worry about,"
"Eh?"
"Because it's Keith," Cadmus declared. He left it at that. Carolyn paused when she heard that. But the other students were confused. Because it's Keith? What did he mean by this?!
"Raghhh!" Herrick howled like no tomorrow. Wait, more like roared. He was a lion.
Keith stared at him, "Oh,"
Herrick's speed exploded as he slammed into Keith! And the latter went flying this time, slamming into a wall.
"Yeah!"
Herrick wasn't done as he dashed at Keith, wanting to tear him apart. He slammed his feet and arms down, wanting to take him out!
Everyone could feel the rumbling.
"Should we stop this now?!" Carolyn stared at Cadmus and the two. But Cadmus continued to have an undisturbed look,
"Check it out," Cadmus pointed down.
"Punk," Keith stated. He was a little surprised. But that was it. There was nothing about it. Herrick was ready to slam down again. This time, Keith caught it.
"Rawr!" Herrick roared. It seemed he didn't have a sane mind. Keith caught his punch and punched him in the face! It was a clean punch as Herrick was sent flying.
"Since you think you're so tough, I'll show you your place," Keith scoffed. Herrick dashed at him. He has both hands up again, ready to slam down on him.
Keith caught both of them and punched him out. It was different now. Keith didn't hesitate as he beat Herrick up like no tomorrow!
"That's impossible!"
"How is the prince getting beat up?!"
The beastmen were shocked. One minute, Herrick had the upper hand, but it instantly switched the next! The latter was beating him black and blue.
There was no way!
"Well, Keith's going to win," Tennol sighed. Hearing his words, the others turned to him.
"There's a fundamental difference between the two," Sohma commented.
"Keith is much more adept in skills and techniques. Herrick, not so much. Herrick had power, but Keith had sharpness." Then again, the latter isn't using any techniques. Keith landed clean punches that hit the vitals while Herrick flailed his fist around.
"Hmpf!" Keith dodged a punch and slammed his fist into Herrick's right shoulder.
"Rawr!" That caused Herrick to howl!
"Damn, he actually dislocated his shoulder." Cadmus was surprised. Herrick's right arm limped.
"..."
"Do you really think you're strong by fighting everything?" Keith shook his head as he used Herrick as a punching bag.
"The fight is over!"
"You bastard! Stop punching our prince!"
"You guys kept saying not to interfere!" Carolyn roared as she stopped the beastmen! How shameless can they be? Now that Herrick was losing, they wanted the fight to stop?
"That guy is going to kill him!"
And you think it was alright for Herrick to go for the kill?
"Relax, Keith isn't going to kill him," Cadmus sighed,
"Unlike Herrick, Keith knows how to control his strength." If Keith couldn't, Todd would have been toast.
"How do you know?!" A beastwoman questioned.
"Because Keith had five chances where he could have gone in for the kill, but he chose not to. Also, he hasn't even used his feet." That was the other thing.
Herrick has been using his entire body to defeat him. But Keith did nothing like that. He was only throwing basic counterpunches.
"..."
"Are you done?" Keith took those punches. But it was nothing compared to before. Dull and weak. That was the only way to describe it.
The outcome was clear.
"Rawr!" Herrick continued to dash at Keith. But the latter didn't even hesitate to grab his face,
"Going insane wasn't the best move," Keith shook his head and slammed his body to the ground. When he did that, he looked at him,
"!" Without a second later, Keith continued to slam him down. He was a rag doll.
"..." No one said a thing as they watched this unfold. It was a difference of power right there.
It didn't take long before Keith stopped punching him. Herrick was down on the ground while he was on top.
Keith looked at everyone else, "Everyone needs to chill out. I will say it right now! We're not killing each other. And there's no need to do it, understand!"
"..." The students stayed silent as they stared at Keith.
Cadmus chuckled.
