Volume 13 Chapter 2: There’s Really No Need For Me To Be Here 

"Understood!" His brother nodded, and he quickly headed outside to get them. Keith brought the bacon over to the table.

Two lions laughed as the older one questioned, “Boy, what was that smell? It’s so incredible.” While Othniel trained with his son outside, his nose couldn’t stop twitching from the delicious scent at the island. He was itching to eat. However, his son told him it was worth the wait.

“It’s bacon, Mr. Othniel.” Othniel was none other than Herrick’s father, King of a beastman kingdom.

"Bacon?" Othniel's eyes locked onto the meat, each piece glistening from its juice.

“You always do this.” Finrandir, another king, snorted. There were so many kings in his home. Another one was on the side, getting scolded by his wife.  

"Dear, hold your tongue!" He was panting like a dog as he stared at the cuts of meat. 

"Can't help it; it looks too delicious." 

"...I want to hide in a hole." Carolyn covered her face, trying her best to hide herself. How could her father embarrass her like this? James, the third prince, was the same. 

Plus,

"Let me hide with you." Krystal felt the same as Cedric was the one acting like this instead. Edmund had to be the one to hold him back.

This was not the end; one more had to show up.

“Sorry if I’m disturbing, child.”

“Good morning, Keith!” Muriel entered with them. It was quite normal for her family to visit his home. However, there was an extra person with them. Chelan stood behind them with an awkward expression.

Keith smiled, “Good morning to you as well. It’s fine. Please sit down; we're having breakfast; come join us.”  

“Thank you,” The family sat down at the table. That was when Julius muttered, “Mooch.” 

"Indeed." Othniel and Finrandir grinned. 

Virel grinned back, “I don’t want to hear this from you fools.” All three of them were mooches. Julius added, “That’s because my Carolyn is living on the island! I'm staying here as a guest.”

“Same!” The two kings grinned as they stared at him. 

"..." Virel's eyes narrowed. Keith clapped his hands, "Let's eat." That was when the shoving match started.

"So delicious!"

"The bacon is tender and juicy." Finrandir savored each bite like it was his last. 

Keith was silent and composed; what he saw was an everyday thing for him. However, his gaze turned to Chelan, “So, what do you want to talk about?”  

“To talk about the agreement of our bet.” 

“Oh, yeah, the bet.” Keith sipped on his espresso.

Carolyn and the others glanced up, “Bet? There was a bet?” This was the first time they heard about this. 

“Yeah. Chelan and I made a bet. Whoever made the least revenue would drop out of the academy.” When he said this, half the table almost spat the food in their mouths! The other half choked! 

“Are you kidding me?!” 

“What in the world?!” 

“What?” Keith blinked as he stared at them. Carolyn grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him! 

“What’s this about you dropping out? Have you gone mad?!” This was news to them. But this was even worse when,

“So if we won, Keith would have dropped out.” Alfia and the others grabbed their heads. A heavy realization just occurred. 

Keith nodded, “Yeah, basically.” That was the bet. If they won, he would have dropped out. 

“...” Why are you acting so nonchalant? There was one person who was going crazy as he started to shake the boy like a dummy, “You stupid brat! How could you wager your academy life like it’s a coin!” Cadmus wasn't going to sit around! This was his livelihood on the line! 

“But it really doesn’t mean anything to me.” Keith stared at the dragon.

“Eh?”

“Honestly, there's no reason for me to attend the academy in the first place. I got more than enough things to keep my life intact.” His company was going smoothly; he could live on that alone! That was not accounting for the bakery. 

“But what about making friends?!" Making connections was meaningful. 

“Don’t need to make connections.” He didn’t need it when his influence was already this huge. When you're this big, connections will flock to you instead.

“...What about all of this? You wouldn't have all this if you didn't attend the academy. You wouldn't have found any new ingredients!" This island and also the ingredients he obtained!

"True." That was a fact. However, "We're looking at it as if I never came here in the first place. I could have come here through the gate and registered as an adventurer. Actually..." The man looked up momentarily, "I might have found more ingredients." It was the opposite. Academy life took a lot out of his personal time. If he focused solely on adventuring, he would find more ingredients. 

“...” Cadmus’s head dropped as he placed Keith back down. But that made William and the rest of his family think. Now that he mentioned it...

Did he really need to attend the academy? What he said was quite true. 

"...How much do you earn from your shops, Child?" The people who were out of the loop questioned. The way he talked about this, it seemed he was filthy rich beyond measure!

"Enough." Keith sat back down, “Besides, I won that bet.” That was the other issue at hand; since Keith won this bet, Chelan would drop out of the academy. 

“Yeah.”

“Honestly, you don’t need to drop out.” Keith shrugged, “I didn't care about the bet all too much.”

“You weren’t?”

“No, I was going to win, so there was no need to.”
