Volume 8 Chapter 26: Exams

The following day, Keith and Diana prepared breakfast for everyone. As the duo did so, the great spirit questioned, “Keith, is this enough?”

“Nope! Not enough!” We have to make a lot! Diana nodded as she continued to cook. This whole cooking took an extra half an hour, but it was worth it. The amount of food placed on the table was staggering, enough to feed a small army. The expression from everyone was...calm?

Well, it was quite the opposite. 

“Heh, I made a lot today. Eat up and be prepared for the midterm!” Keith grinned. Today was the written portion of the midterm. 

“...” Everyone was silent. Cadmus tilted his head, “What’s going on? Why are you guys acting like this?” The dragon didn’t wait as he stabbed a sausage. 

“Don’t you know today is the day?” Aidiun held his head. 

While they were, Herrick was mumbling something, 

“There are different types of magic in this world. The elemental magic is fire-water-wind-earth-lightning-” It was quite a sight since he wouldn’t say these things either. His eyes were that of a zombie. 

He wasn’t the only one: Scarlet and Alfia had books on the table and were trying to review some information. Jack and Arlo were stuttering as they prayed. That was how concerned they were. 

“Now, now, everyone. Let’s not be so stressed about it.” Keith clapped his hand. 

“How can we not? Are you kidding me?” Everyone couldn’t get it out of their mind. 

“Professor Aidiun had taught us everything we know.” 

“All of the questions on the midterms are based on the lectures that we have done,” Aidiun nodded. They were not going to give them a curve ball.

“...Yeah.”

“But.” The others were still doubts about this. 

“Didn’t you guys work your butts off?”

“…Mmhmm.”

“Then there’s no need to worry about whether or not you guys are going to fail. You guys will pass.” Keith grinned. 

“How could you be so damn positive?!” Jack retorted. This guy was walking sunshine and rainbows. There was a discrepancy since the other side was dark and gloomy. 

“Hmm?”

“Are you scared you’re going to fail, Leader?” Arlo questioned. 

“No.” Keith scoffed.

“Eh?”

“That’s because I’m going to ace the thing.” Keith declared. There were no doubts about him failing, “Like worse-case, if I do fail, then I will do better on the other things. Move on and be done with it.” 

“…” The others went silent. 

“We got this; there’s really nothing to worry about.” Gabriel was the other person who was calm about this. 

“Mmhmm! Leader’s right!” Arlo stabbed a pancake and started to eat it.

Sarah followed his actions, “Mmhmm! We’ve been practicing; we don’t need to worry about anything.”

One by one, everyone started to eat. Cadmus shook his head, “Why couldn’t you make the worry more? I could have-”

Shing!

“Shut your mouth!” Diana’s hollow eyes said everything as she glared at the guy. A kitchen knife was at his throat. How dare you say something like that? Do you want to make them anxious again?!

“Keith, are you going to be alright?” Fira tilted her head. That caused the man to grin, “We’ll be fine.”

After they finished their food, it was time to set off. When they walked in the hallway, everyone could see the students walking left and right in anxiety. 

“Wow, everyone is acting like this is the end of the world,” Some people even banged their heads on the wall.

“What do you expect? Everyone is quite frightened.” Alfia shook her head. 

“Arlo, are you?”

“No, I’ve studied enough!” Arlo raised his fist into the air. Since Keith had calmed them down, he felt more prepared than anything. What he said was right; they studied a lot. Senior Angelica helped him out so much as well. 

“This guy has infected you too much.” Alfia shook her head. Herrick and Melor sighed, “We tried our best to stop it, but it was too strong.” Keith effect was quite a powerful phenomenon.

“Hey!” Keith glared, “I should be saying that!” Herrick and Melor taught Arlo when they practiced. He was trying his best not to make him into a musclehead.

“Anyways, the four of you, good luck! You guys got this!”

“Thank you.” The group nodded as they headed to class. Keith and the others entered; the same thing occurring outside was also happening inside. 

“Ophelia, how are you feeling?” She was sitting at her desk with Eirlys; there was definitely some dark aura around them. 

The dragon girl nodded, “I feel like I’m going to fail this test.”

“Aww, don’t think like that; you got this.”

“Where does all that optimism come from?” Well, he was optimistic about everything. 

“That’s what we all said?! This guy is just damn optimistic!” Herrick muttered. 

“Yo, Chelan, are you guys going to be fine?” Keith called out.

“Hmpf. Of course I am. The question is whether you are, Flaker.”

“Hey!”

“Well, I’m going to do fine,” Keith grinned. But that caused the others in the classroom to contort. Where does this blind confidence come from?

While they talked, Carolyn entered the room,

“I’m going to beat you.”

“Of really?” Keith grinned, “When have you everyone beaten me at something?

“Well, I’m going to do so now.”

“Bring it on.”
