Volume 11 Chapter 36: How About Fish?
"What?! I'm demoted!" While Keith was returning from a day of running the cart, Jerome's eyes widened as he stared at his manager. Aidiun had gone to his manager to tell him about it. The man nodded, Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"From tomorrow forward, you will be demoted back to A-class." The manager was calm and composed as he told him. Getting demoted wasn't something unusual, rare, but it could happen. He didn’t wait for the child to respond as he walked away. He was left there standing and mulling it over.
"Haha, so Jerome got demoted."
"And all that big talk about him being in S-class."
"Thinks he's great because he has some talent."
Behind him were a bunch of students who snickered at him. Jerome's face turned red as he returned to his room. That was when he slammed his fist down onto the table!
Why am I the one who gets to be demoted?! It didn’t make sense at all! Just because he had come in 6th doesn’t make it justifiable. There were a few teams who did worse than him! Plus, he was also stable.
There could only be one thing.
It was because of Keith! He was the reason why he was sent to the back of it.
"That damn bastard! How dare he do this!"
...
When Keith headed to the classroom the next day, it was any other usual day. But that was when he dashed into the classroom, “You damn bastard!” Jerome charged at Keith like a madman.
However, that was when Herrick and Melor got between the two. And that did something as the two were quite imposing.
"Dude, why are you rushing into the classroom?"
"If you're picking a fight against him, then you have to deal with us!"
"Are you kidding me?" He thought this was a joke. But the look in their eyes said it all. Yes, if he wanted to fight against Keith, then they would deal with him.
“What do you want?” Keith was calm as he stared at him. Herrick and Melor glanced over before taking a step to the side.
That was when Jerome started to shout, “Because of you! I’m demoted back to A-class!”
“…What?” Herrick and the others blinked. Because of Keith, he was demoted back into the S-class?
“That’s ridiculous!” Herrick and the others thought that. This guy wouldn't do something like this. Especially not to this chump unless...
“That’s right. I was the one who decided to demote you back to A-class.” He wasn’t going to deny it.
“You damn bastard! Is it because you were scared?!”
“Scared?” Alfia and the others blinked. Why would he be scared of him? There was something off with his words? Keith would send him flying across the building if he really wanted to.
"You're trying to block my path to success because you're afraid I'll get ahead of you, you noble!"
“You’re overstepping your boundaries.” Alfia stepped in. This was something she didn’t want to hear. But Keith sighed as he got up and got in front of him before everyone, “I’ll say this right now. You’re not qualified to be in S-class.” A straight and direct answer.
“Huh?!” Jerome’s expression turned blue, “How dare-“
“How dare I? I mean it. You’re not qualified to be in S-class.” That was something he knew for sure now that he had seen him act like this. Everything about Jerome was lacking.
"..."
“If that’s all you have to say, then get out. You’re bothering all of us.” Keith returned to his seat. Seeing how dismissive he was against him, Herrick and the others did the same. There was no need to bring themselves down to his level. They were the better people.
“…” Jerome’s eyes were livid as he left the classroom.
Scarlet muttered, “You understand that this won’t be the end of this.” These types of guys would continue to annoy them until they die. Keith shrugged, “Not my problem. If he’s going to annoy me like that, he could come after me. I can take it.” Keith wasn’t afraid of confrontation.
“I could tell he’s not worth it in S-class.” As he stared at the door, Herrick muttered, “To rush in to demand a fight isn't something an S-rank student would do.” Not level-headed at all.
"Uhh, Keith did that a few times before." They couldn’t forget about him as well. That man would charge in like a madman. Remember what had transpired with Alger?
"But Keith did something. Totally different story." Action. Unless he was ready to throw a punch or had evidence to back up what Keith did was wrong, then it would have been alright.
However, he just screamed at Keith and walked away. That was useless.
Keith laughed, “Forget about him; let’s do something else.” They shouldn’t be focused on a man they didn’t need to care about.
"Yeah, yeah. There's no need to worry about a person like that," Carolyn grinned.
"There are more important things to talk about." Long Lihua grinned.
"Hmm?"
"Are you going to increase the items in the cart?" Long Lihua and Ayaka's eyes glimmered as they stared at him. They were quite happy about the skewers being added to the menu. The sauces were more so as they had tasted them before at home, but it was heightened with Keith's techniques.
"Hmmm, I do have a lot right now."
“What about fish?” Ayaka muttered.
Oh yeah, this girl is a fish lover. This fox priestess was an avid fan of fish. Keith thought about it briefly, “Fish is a nice idea, but it would be much better with rice below it. Or I could cube some salmon, add some honey and soy sauce to marinate it, and put it on the grill. That could, or maybe do the whole fish, but I’ll need to descale it and gut it.”
“Just do all of them,” Herrick and Melor salivated from the prospect of the recipes he dished out. Keith rolled his eyes, “I’m not doing it any time soon. You guys can just wait a bit longer.”
Fish was going to be another thing.
“But I wonder if I should also make drinks for them?” Keith thought about it.
“Hmm?”
“Like there’s something missing with all of this. Like you need something nice to drink with it.” Keith mumbled. Beer and Skewers were a perfect match. Maybe I should add some other things as well. As he continued to wonder,
“Would soup fit into it?”
“No, it wouldn’t. It’s not that good of a pair.”
“…”
