Volume 4: Chapter 37: One Against Two

"Alright, the three of you get in your position." Shire clapped his hands. 

"..." We're really going through with this. Keith looked up at the sky, wondering why he had come to class today. He wanted to slap himself on this day. Staring down, he saw Scarlet and Alfia. Their expression said it all. They were ready to rumble. 

Scarlet and Alfia stood on one side, Keith on the other. Like that, the three of them were going to face off. The students gulped at what was about to go down. 

"Begin!"

"Flames come to my hand!" "Wind that shears everything!"

Scarlet and Alfia didn't hesitate as they started to cast their magic. 

"Gulp!" Everyone gulped when they heard what the two girls chanted. Those were some high-level magic right there. They were looking to roast Keith alive!

"Ngh!" "Chh!" But Scarlet and Alfia had to stop chanting. Keith had fired magic at the two of them! 

"I'm not done." Keith didn't move from his spot as he continued to fire magic at the two girls like no tomorrow!

Rows of lightning spears were aimed at the two girls. 

Scarlet and Alfia frowned as they continued to dodge the spears coming at them. There was no chance for them to have time to cast their magic. 

Keith wasn't stopping. He continued to fire at them. 

Scarlet gave Alfia a glance, and the latter understood. 

"Come thy wind!" The two quickly spread from one another. They couldn't stay next to each other. That would give Keith one big target. By splitting up, one of them would have the chance to cast their magic. 

"Thunder spears," Keith fired his magic at Alfia as she was in half-cast. And Scarlet was the same.

Do you think I can't fire thunderspears at both of you? It was easy to do something like that. 

As he did, one of the elves screamed, 

"This is so dirty! Let them fire magic!"

"Stop being so cheap!" 

More students started to scream at Keith. What he was doing was underhanded. 

Carolyn grabbed her head, "Keith is becoming public enemy number one." 

"I know." Gabriel felt terrible for him. He wasn't doing anything wrong.   

"Be quiet!" Shire shut them up, "Do you think the two of them would have such time when on the battlefield?!" He glared at the elves.

"Keith, you can stop now." Keith paused when he heard that. 

"Hah." Scarlet and Alfia sighed as they grabbed their legs. The difference between the three was something. 

Keith was uninjured, while Scarlet and Alfia looked like they had gone through a tornado. 

"Keith, can you tell me what the two did wrong?" Shire questioned. When he heard that, Keith explained,

"What they did wrong is they decided to use a powerful attack in a 2v1 battle." 

"?"

"Explain it further for everyone."

"Scarlet and Alfia's high-tier magic has a lot of power. But there's a cost to that. It would require time to cast." There was also a downside to using such high-level magic. That was the casting time. 

"In a group battle, using high-level magic is perfect. But that's because you have people to protect you. But it's lacking in a 1v1 fight. The opponent will take advantage of their situation. They could have had one person guarding the other instead of both chanting." 

"..." When Keith said all that, no one said anything about it. Shire smiled as he turned to Scarlet and Alfia,

"Do the two of you have a problem with what Keith said?"

"No." Scarlet shook her head.

"I don't either." Alfia nodded. There was nothing to say about it. What Keith did showed how much they lacked. 

"Good. That's why I want to show this class. You may be able to use high-level magic. But that doesn't mean it will be the right choice. People like Keith, who have high skills and senses, will always take the chance to take you out."

That caused Keith to scratch his head.  

"Today, we'll practice even more."

Keith could only grab his head. Right now, he was being stared at by everyone. That was because of what he did. 

"Cheer up, buddy." Jack grabbed Keith's shoulder, trying his best to calm him down. Well, teasing as well.
