Volume 12 Chapter 1: I Never Wanted It In The First Place
"..." "..." Keith and Aidiun were now walking back to their island. As they did so, Aidiun questioned, "Keith, are you fine with all of this?" A few minutes ago, the child was called before the student council and disciplinary committee, where Cadmus had notified him that his position as representative was being stripped away. With so many students against his position and a few incidents to prove it, they took the position away without any backtalk or reasoning.
That was why the elf was befuddled; the child was so calm about this that it felt like it didn't happen. He thought for sure there would be more fightback to this. Even now, there was no frustration on her face.
Keith shrugged, "Not really."
"..." Aidiun blinked as the child continued to walk. To think he didn't care about this. Thinking about it, this aligned with the type of person he was. But what would the others think about this? It was something that made him wonder.
"What?! They took the representative position away from you?!"
Figures. Aidiun sighed as he watched all the students explode when Keith revealed the sudden news! They surrounded Keith as Alfia, the elf princess, questioned, "How could you let this happen?!"
"Umm, it just happened." How was he supposed to know they were going to do it today? He wasn't psychic.
"Isn't this a tad excessive?" Diana muttered. This was something that she didn't understand.
"Keith messed up only once, and they instantly boot him from the position? Isn't this a little too fast?" Fast wasn't even the word to describe it. It felt more arranged.
Faelyn muttered, "Is there someone targeting Keith?" This seemed likely since he had been targeted for quite some time now.
"It had to be that brat, Jerome." That guy was the only one who caught their eye.
"Bastard used the excuse of Keith kicking him out because he didn't like him." Jerome had recently been promoted from A-class to S-class. However, he was sent back down to A-class as Keith deemed him unfit.
He basically used this to get back at the man!
"I'm going to deck him in the face the moment I see him." Herrick clenched his fists tightly. Hearing how he was used as a witness to demean Keith made him furious.
"Guys, it's fine. It was because my abilities were not up to par with being the representative. The incident was only the final nail in the coffin." Keith waved off those ideas as he sipped his tea.
That only caused Gabriel to frown, "Why are you taking this calmly?" While everyone was frustrated by this, he was the only one who was calm in this situation. He should be the person who should be the most angry about this.
“To begin with, I didn’t want the position in the first place.” Keith sighed.
“…”
“You guys forgot, huh?” Keith shook his head, “Let me repeat, I never wanted the representative position in the first place. That role was given to me because Grandpa Cadmus handed it to me. Besides, I really didn’t do much with it in the beginning.” He had left it out there, so there wasn’t anything to discuss.
“…” True. The others wouldn’t deny that: Keith only used the representative’s power these last few weeks. He didn't do anything with it in the previous few months.
“Haha, there’s nothing for me to do there.” Keith shrugged, “With this out of the way, I don’t need to focus much on the festival. I can focus on my cart." He was given more freedom now that it was gone.
“…This isn’t fair,” Alfia muttered as her eyes darkened. Even though Keith didn’t want the position in the first place, taking it away like that didn’t seem right.
“Life isn’t fair; we just got to make do with what we have.” Keith laughed, “Anyways, let’s get something to eat. I remember I had prepped some chicken. I’ll cook it up for everyone.” With that, he headed to the kitchen to cook. But that only caused the others to stare at his back,
“He’s really taking this lightly.”
“Like he said, he really didn’t care about this at all.” Jack sighed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Fair enough.”
Diana's eyes narrowed as she stared at Aidiun. The elf nodded as he knew what the great spirit wanted.
...
While the rest went to bed, the adults were inside the great spirit home. Cadmus and Sohma were there as well. Diana was the first to speak, “So tell me, why didn’t you help Keith with this?”
“Eh?” Nephele tilted her head.
"You could have easily stopped all of this if you wanted, you lizard." One word from Cadmus and everyone would shut up.
“Oh, do you think I could always cater to him? Besides, what he did caused some discourse among the others as well. They’re not going to take this lying down.” With some students hurt in this scenario, it was unsurprising that they deemed Keith unfit.
It wasn't only the students who thought Keith shouldn't be the representative; some professors also thought the same. This was an accumulation of his wrong moves.
“Besides, the kid is happy with it taken away, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“…” Aidiun frowned, “But this leaves the question, what will we do about the missing representative? They will need a new representative now that Keith is out of there.”
“Well, this is going to be a difficult decision.”
