Volume 5 Chapter 12: I Know How To Get Stronger! 

What does that guy have that I don't?! Herrick was lost in thought as he worked out. He had been doing that in his room, and what Sohma said didn't make him understand. 

He was confused and dazed at the same time.  

From how he talked with Keith, he didn't seem so different from him. But there was a feeling—this inferiority he had to Keith. 

"That's it!" Herrick got up from the floor. He figured it out! The thing that shocked him the most was the skills! Keith and Herrick were close in strength! But the difference was in skills!

I will just copy what he does! 

...

Keith looked out the window. This was a surprise. He thought for sure Herrick would be awake. Herrick was always the first one to wake up.

"I should get up." Keith walked out of the room to brush his teeth. But the moment he did, Herrick also came out of his room. Keith waved his hand,

"Good morning, Herrick."

"Morning." Herrick nodded as he followed Keith to the bathroom. And that's when things started to get strange. Gabriel entered the bathroom soon after. 

"Morning, Gabriel." "Morning, Gabriel." 

"Morning, you two." Gabriel smiled. The three brushed their teeth like it was any ordinary day. Once they were done, Keith and the two went to the backyard.

"Good morning, you three." Nephele and Diana were already working hard on the garden. 

Keith smiled as he waved his wooden sword, "Herrick, do you want to go first?"

"You two should go." "Alright." Keith nodded as he raised his sword. Gabriel did the same. Like that, the two started to fight!

While the two did, Herrick continued to stare at Keith. His eyes were intense. Even Gabriel felt something off. Is something the matter with him? 

Don't know. Keith didn't know what was the matter with Herrick. 

"Herrick, do you want to face Gabriel?" Keith questioned.

"Mmhmm!" Herrick nodded as he walked over to Gabriel. When he held up his weapon, Gabriel noticed something strange.

"Eh?"

"..." Keith was silent, but he frowned. Why is he using my style? He could tell it was the same style he fought against Gabriel. As he was lost in thought, Herrick made his move.

It was the same.

Everything Herrick did was the same as Keith's. But the result was obvious.

"You lose." In a few minutes, Herrick was down on the ground! 

"One more time!" Herrick groaned. 

"Sure." Gabriel was game. 

"While you guys do that, I will prepare breakfast." Keith entered the kitchen, ready to prepare breakfast. As he did, a magic circle formed on the countertop.

"Po!" "Mir, you're here." Keith smiled as he patted the snowball's head.

"Po!" Mir snuggled in his face. And when he did,

"So you have been playing with Leon and Laura? How are they?"Keith had been sending letters to the two of them. He could tell they really missed him, which made his heart break even more. 

"Po! Po!"

"Thank goodness." Keith was relieved when he heard that. Maybe he should teleport and visit them when he has the chance. But as he thought about doing this,

"Po!"

"Here, you little glutton." Keith sighed as he fed the little animal some bread. 

"Alright, back to work!" Keith rolled up his sleeves as he cooked breakfast. Once he was done, he brought everything into the dining room. 

"The snowball is here again?" Cadmus stared at the little fellow on Keith's shoulder.

"What's that?" Herrick stared at him.

"This is one of my familiars." Keith grabbed Mir from his shoulder, "His name is Mir. Say hello."

"Po!" Mir let out a cute roar.

"Aww, Mir is here!" Sarah walked in and hugged the cute fellow. She had gotten used to Mir teleporting here.

"Po!" Mir licked the girl's face.

"Yay, Mir!" Fira flew over to Mir and landed on his head. Herrick tilted his head,

"You have a lot of small familiars."

"Small and cute," Keith added.

"..." Don't you mean cute and deadly?! The people who knew Mir's identity wanted to say that. But they decided to be quiet. 

"Can you guys call Nephele and Diana?"

"I'll go." Jack walked out and called the two dorm mothers in.

"Ah, I'm so hungry," Nephele stated. But when she did, she noticed Mir on Keith's shoulder,

"What is that?! Why is it here?!"
