Volume 10 Chapter 1: Returning To The Academy

*Okay, situation. One chapter is floating somewhere and I can’t find it. But it seems the transition is fine enough that it should be fine and got a good message across. *

“What is going on?!” Keith’s expression was dark as he paced back and forth in the room. As he did, three girls stared at him with worry. Keith was so frazzled. That was rare when you considered the boy to be always cool-headed. Yet, who could blame the boy? The message sent to him by the academy’s headmaster was something. Even William and the adults were slightly surprised by the message.

“Headmaster Cadmus isn't pulling a joke on us, right?” There was something they needed to figure out as well. Occasionally, he would do something like this to the boy. The one to beat him to a blood pulp was Sohma.

Keith shook, “It didn’t seem like one of those times.” He thought so at first, but remembering how he sounded, it wasn’t the case; it would have been more playful and annoying. 

“But to ask you for help?” That was the other question going through their minds. Who was Cadmus? This guy was so strong that he didn’t need help against anyone. To ask Keith to help out made it a little confusing.

“What do you want to do about this?”

“Of course, to go and help him.” There were no other options for Keith; Cadmus had been helping out his family all this time. He may be annoying and such, but he was family.  

“Then we should prepare some things before we head back.”

“We?”

“Of course,” Carolyn frowned, “Do you think we’re staying here as well?”

“…”

“It’s not the same without you.” Without the man, everything about this place felt different! 

“Alright. But I’m going to get a few things. We’ll leave in the evening.”

“Understood!” The two girls nodded. 

“May, I will leave everything to you as always,” May was going to be watching over the chocolate factory and the new dessert bar. This was adding more to her plate since she became a viscount not long ago. 

“Don’t worry, Young Master. I can handle all of it alone,” May had a bright grin. 

“May, did something happen between the two of you?” Carolyn inched forward to the girl. But that was when she shook her hands, “Nothing had happened, Princess!”

The woman tried to play it down, but anyone could tell something had happened between them. Carolyn and Krystal continued to have grins as they understood. It was not surprising. 

The group went to sleep. But Keith looked up at the sky during the night. What could Grandpa Cadmus need his help on?

"Ho,"

"..." Keith didn't say anything as he embraced the owl.

...

The following day, Keith had headed off to Ignis Hammer.

“Orin, can I get the armguard?” He didn’t leave because of the arm guard that Orin said he was going to prepare. He knew that he was going to need it. That thing could probably take anything if he used it to guard with it.

“Mmhmm, here it is,” What was brought before him was a vibrant silver guard with a beautiful shine. That surprised Keith, “This was made from the bones?” The dull bones had become so vibrant and shiny? That was miracle work right here.

“That’s because I had to melt that bone with a lot of heat, and it became like metal.” Orin had a giddy smile as he said this. But as they talked, Keith placed it on his body. It was slightly heavier than the one; however, he could live with that. It wouldn't get in his way as he fights against monsters.

“Here’s the armguard for when you attend class.” Another armguard was brought out. This one had stripes on it. Lighter. This one was more flexible and easier in classes.

“Thanks a lot.” 

“By the way, you should look at this.” Orin then brought something out. But as he did so, Hugo had to help him move it as well.

“A halberd?” Keith was surprised. A dark halberd was brought before him. It was quite large, but it was more than enough for him. 

“Try swinging this around,” Keith nodded as he did. Swish! The sound of air being cut in half could be heard. 

Keith nodded. Heavy. It was on the heavier side, but it was more than enough to manage. It had the perfect weight at the end.

“Michael had told us that you’ll probably need a halberd sooner or later, so he told us to make it.”

“Michael.” That guy. 

“We used the spine of the T-rex to make it, and the blade and tip were made from the variant raptor.”

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. Just come back when you have the time,” Orin grinned.

“Gotcha,” Keith left the shop and made one final pitstop before going home. He glanced at the chocolate factory that he had built. It was still going strong. There were a lot of kids going there as well.

“It’s the young master!” The children started to swarm him. He patted their heads, “Sorry, but I’m in a slight rush today,” Entering the building, 

“Walter, how are you doing?”

“I’m doing good, Boss!” Walter and the other beastmen had been working overtime. And they look so energetic as well. 

“That’s good.” Keith smiled. There was no need to worry about them. Ella and the others in the dessert bar had Ralph. He would watch over them like a hawk. Like that, he returned home. 

“Do you guys have everything ready?” Keith turned to the two girls.

“Mmhmm.” They were prepared.

“Big Brother, do you have to go?” Leon and Laura stared. They were a little dejected over how he had to leave earlier than scheduled. That only made him pat their heads.   

“I have to. Grandpa Cadmus is asking for my help.”

“Mmhmm,” Surprisingly, the two didn’t stop him. That was because Cadmus had been playing with them from time to time when he came. The two kids were fond of the dragon. 

Not surprising since Cadmus was pretty childlike.

“Be sure to take care of yourself.”

“Mmhmm,” Keith nodded.

“And don’t do anything rash that would get you killed.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything like that.” Keith nodded his head. With those words, Keith and the two headed to the gates and entered.
