Volume 4: Chapter 36: Pouring Gasoline On The Fire 

"Do you have the eyes in the back of your head?!" Jack couldn't help but quip. And he wasn't alone as the others were there. They couldn't resist the smell and tried to take a bite. 

They thought Keith couldn't sense them. With how focused he was, there was no way. Or so they believed. Keith shook his head, 

"That's because you guys were breathing heavily. I do have ears." Keith laughed. These guys acted like ravenous beasts. Well, one person was.

"This was all your fault, Principal!"

"My fault?!"

"You're the only one who was drooling and growling!" "Yeah!" The others declared. Cadmus's eyes were something. He was panting like a wild animal!

"Ugh," Cadmus didn't know what to say. They were right. Keith shook his head at them as he turned to his oven, 

Need to flip them. Keith took out some tongs and flipped the orc steaks over. 

"Keith, how much longer?" When he opened the oven, the aroma filled the kitchen. That caused all their stomachs to growl. 

"Until the timer goes off," Keith said with a faint heart as he continued to prepare the other dishes. That caused Cadmus and the rest to sigh. 

But after a few minutes,

Ting!

"Keith! It's done!"

"Get it out now!"

"Alright." Keith laughed as he wore some mitts and was ready to take them out. 

"Have you guys-"

"Yes, we did!"

"We have everything prepared!"

"I see." He brought the tray of lemon pepper orc to the table.

"Woah, that looks incredible!" Cadmus was in awe of how golden the orc looked. 

"Now, let's eat." Keith declared. Like that, everyone ate. It was a delicious meal. 

"What's this, Keith?" Aidiun pointed at the salad he was eating. 

"Oh, that's one of the vegetables I brought back. It's called smoke melon." He read about it in the library. It was an exotic vegetable that tasted similar to bacon. But it had a little more sweetness to it. 

Maybe I should try and smoke it. Since the name was smoke melon, it may taste different if he smoke it. 

"Seconds!" Cadmus stated.

"Alright." Keith laughed. 

...

"Today's class will be different from usual," Shire commented. That caused all the student's ears to perk up. 

"Keith, please get up," Shire shouted. Like that, Keith got up from the ground. He walked up to him, where Shire commented, 

"All of you are weaker than Keith."

"!" Wait, what?! Keith looked at Shire, wondering what he meant. You call me up here to say something like that?!

Keith turned to the students. Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared at him. If looks could kill, he would be dead ten times over. 

"Keith, you will be fighting with Scarlet or Alfia, the best magicians in this class." Shire smiled.

"Eh?!"

"Even though you two are considered the best magicians in the grade, you guys are worse than the representative. 

"Ahh." Keith wanted to cry now. How could he say something like that? He turned to Alfia and Scarlet. The two of them were eyeing Keith down like no tomorrow! They looked like wild animals, ready to pounce on him! 

Shire was really pouring gasoline into the fire! And it wasn't like a drizzle. He took a gallon and chucked the whole damn thing into the fire!

"Representative Keith, please choose one of them."

"Do I really have to do that?"

"Actually. You don't have to choose. Let's have you face off against both." Shire clapped his hands together. That was an excellent idea!

"..." Fight the two of them?! He ain't superhuman! Why did he have to fight with those two monsters?!

"Are the two of you fine with that?"

"Of course," "Fine." Their eyes turned even sharper than before!

"Gulp!" Why?! Was this professor trying to screw him over?! What is this?! Fighting the two of them at once?! This was a death sentence! He looked at Carolyn, wondering if she had any way to solve his predicament. However, Carolyn and the rest saluted. 

Goodbye! Even they were surprised by this.

So I'm alone in this. Keith looked up at the sky.
