A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

Volume 10 Chapter 2: This Is Up Your Alley

The group was brought to the royal capital, where they entered the portal again to go to the academy. Carolyn sighed, “I think you should just have the settings set to the academy as well.” Going back and forth with the royal capital as the lynchpin was getting quite tedious. 

“Wouldn’t the headmaster get here faster if you did?” Cadmus was one of those people who came to the city whenever he could. 

“No need to. That dragon can teleport to my island whenever he wants.” The dragon was a better void magic user than him. He could teleport instantly. The group headed to the academy. And when they did, Aidiun was at the gate for them. 

“Professor Aidiun.”

“Keith, sorry to ask you to come here on your break.” Aidiun sighed, “The headmaster is waiting for you in his office.” The four started to move. 

“Do you know what’s going on?” Keith was slightly confused by all of this. Despite worrying about the situation, he didn't know what it was. 

“I know. But you should hear it from the headmaster instead of from my mouth.”

“I see. So it’s that serious.” Keith took a deep sigh as the thoughts continued to linger through his head. But as he thought about this, they had entered the office,

“Grandpa Cadmus, what’s the matter?”

“Hey- Woah, why is there so much bloodlust coming from you?” Keith was oozing off some thick fighting spirit. It was quite something as even he flinched. 

“Because you said there was an issue. So what is it? Is it fighting? Do we have to kill orcs or trolls?” Keith was itching to take care of this mess. That caused Cadmus and Sohma to stare at one another.

“No, you don’t need to do any of that.”

“Then why did you call me?”

“…That.” Cadmus was going to explain before he sighed deeply, “This is something I shouldn’t say.”

“...Are you kidding me?” Is this hot potato? They were only throwing it back and forth between everyone. Did he really come here for nothing?

“Relax; all of your questions will be answered.” Cadmus looked at the door, “You guys can come in.” And the moment he said this, they entered the room. 

“Lihua? Ayaka?” Two were someone Keith and the two knew; they were none other than Long Lihua and Ayaka Kazemori. And they were not alone as two more people were beside them.

“Hello, Keith,” Long Lihua waved her hand while Ayaka looked away. One was friendly, while the other was distant. It was a nice pairing between the two. Keith tilted his head, “So there’s a problem with them?”

“Mmhmm.”

“What is the problem?”

“Well, something is happening on our island, and it’s pretty dangerous. That’s why we came here to beg for the ancestor’s help.”

“To beg for his help?” Wait a minute? Ancestor? Keith turned to Cadmus, who nodded, “Mmhmm, Lihua had asked for my aid.”

“Then why do you need my help for this?” Hold up, that didn’t make any sense. This was more up of Cadmus’s alley than his by a mile away! One flick from the dragon would instantly blow two streets away! There was probably nothing that could stop him. 

“No, this one isn’t up my alley. Actually, it’s totally up your expertise.” Cadmus shook his head.

“Eh?” The whole room was befuddled. Up Keith’s alley?

“Are you telling him to feed them and send them off?” Carolyn questioned. Keith would definitely be up for the task if that were the case. Food and cooking were up this man’s alley. However, the dragon shook his head, “No, it’s nothing like that. Actually, it could work. But this is something that has totally to do with Keith. He’s the only one who could deal with this. Anyone else will not get the perfect results you want.”

“Eh?” Long Lihua and Ayaka were surprised by his words. They stared at the boy. He had been with them for quite some time, and was he able to do something about this?

“Keith, only you could do this,” Sohma added.

Even Uncle Sohma thought so as well? Now, that was a lot more reassurance. The deputy headmaster was much more truthful compared to the Headmaster. 

“Hold it!” But one person had other thoughts about this. 

“What is the matter?” Cadmus tilted his head. It was none other than the person. Long Lihua frowned, “Qiqiang, don’t say anything.”

“I’m sorry, Cousin. But I have to say it.” Long Qiqiang then pointed at Keith, “How could this person solve the situation occurring on our island?!” That was something he had doubts about. Cadmus, the dragon, had the guarantee as his name was known throughout the lands. It was not that surprising.

Keith, on the other hand, was a whole different matter. Even if he had Cadmus’s assurance, that didn’t mean jack to him since he didn’t have the same pedigree.

“He does have a point,” Keith wouldn’t deny that. 

Cadmus’s name outclassed his name by a mile. That was more so when dealing with everything outside the human nation. 

Cadmus laughed, “Then if you need assurance with all of this, how about you have a spar with the boy.”

“Huh?” Keith blinked.

“Understood!” Long Qiqiang nodded as he stared at Keith with ferocious eyes.

Uhhhhh. Keith then glanced at Krystal and Carolyn, who were speechless about this. They returned to the academy only to find that Keith would get into a fight against some people. Yeah, that was something no one had expected.
