Volume 12 Chapter 53: You’re Not A Leader

Later in the cold night, when all the students had returned to their island, a group of shadows loomed over the area. They headed over to F-class year 1. 

“Let’s destroy the carts and get out of here!”

"Let's do this!"

"They're getting too big over their britches."  

"You're not going to be touching anything." They looked up and spotted Keith standing above one of the stalls.

Keith jumped down and shook his head, “You guys really think I wouldn’t hear about you trying to attack and destroy our stalls?” That was something he had realized. As he walked around the other stalls, he heard many things.

And one was talking about F-class.

"It's not easy being popular." Keith sighed, "So much jealousy." Popularity would always cause jealousy.

“...” Keith knocked out three in one move before they had the chance to talk. Without any hesitation, they tried to flee. That was when two shadows appeared. Coen and Olin were silently getting into position as Keith talked.

That was not the end as well when there were a couple of more shadows.

"Disciplinary committee, Captain." Sakura and the other disciplinary committee members were here.

"Round them up!"

"Yes!" That was when the other members attacked with great ferocity!

"...Wooo." Keith stopped attacking as he watched them get to work. They were the strongest for a reason, and he understood why. Each move they made was swift and accurate. 

“Seriously. Trying to take down our stalls.” Keith shook his head as he tied them together, “Instructor Tennol, Senior Sakura, I will leave them to you.”

“Understood.” Tennol grinned as she picked those students up. Keith had come here prepared; he turned to the two, “Good job, you two. No one is going to know about this, understand?”

“Mmhmm.” The two understood. They didn't want the others to worry about a situation like this. It would definitely cause them to be restless.

“Good. Now get some rest and wash your face." Tomorrow was definitely going to be another hard-working day.  

“Yes!” 

Keith smiled as it was time to return to the mansion. But as he did so, he noticed someone standing by the gates. 

“Hmm? Why is the representative here?” 

"I want to talk with you."

“Eh?” Chelan and Keith walked over to the park. This late at night, there was no one there. Coupling this vacant area was this cold and silent ambiance. It was awkward. The two just stood there, staring at one another. That was when the prince made the first move as he questioned,

“What makes you so different from me?”

"Say what?” You called me here to ask this?  

“I’m just so confused. I had everything prepared. The class had better students, and yet I couldn't win." That had been on his mind. He had mapped out the perfect strategy for their victory. Plus, he had many capable students as well. Even the instructors and professors expected their victory.

Despite all of this, he still lost. It was only today this feeling hit him.

When he arrived at the section, he noticed his classmates focused on something else. He wanted to tell them to stop. But he couldn't. He just watched as they worked; their expressions contrasted from the beginning.

“That was the problem.”  “Eh?” 

“Do you not hear yourself? You had capable people, but you decided to go at it alone.” Keith shook his head, “Let me ask you this, did you ask them what they wanted to do? Did you listen to them?”

“...But I’m-” 

“It doesn’t matter if you’re the leader or not. Sometimes you listen to what your classmates want rather than trying to brute force everything by yourself.” That was the difference between the two classes. F-class decided to work together as a unit, while S-class had one person controlling the entire operation. 

Two different approaches to this festival, and the results varied.

“That’s the reason why you’re losing so badly. If you had listened to what they wanted instead of going at it your way, you could have been on top.” Sometimes, listening was better than just following the perfect idea. 

Right now, the group was fourth. They couldn't beat F-class. It was too large of a gap for them to overcome

“Let me make this clear, you don’t deserve to be called a leader or the representative.” Keith had to say this, “While you focused on S-class, you clearly overlooked the other classes. I had to wipe your ass because of that.”

Chelan's sole focus was wanting to surpass Keith. He was so focused on his section that it caused the others issues. That was horrible leadership.

"If you keep following these petty ideals, you will ruin someone's life. Understand that." Keith sighed as he walked away, leaving him to mull over what he said. But when he did so, he spotted Virel and Arolina watching from afar. They were not alone, as the other adults were doing the same thing. 

“Were you watching me?”

“We were worried that something had happened, but I guess we were worried for nothing.” Julius grinned. It was the king squad who had come to watch.

Finrandir sighed, “Keith, is it wise to say something like that to him? Aren’t you destroying his confidence?” It would have destroyed his confidence if someone had said that to him.

“If he gets destroyed by this, he shouldn’t be king.” Keith was direct, which amazed the others. They looked at Virel and Arolina. Are you sure you should say that in front of their parents?

Virel then asked, “What makes you say that?” 

“Chelan is too high-strung and focused on me to see the bigger picture of what was going on. If he hadn’t done that, S-class probably would have beaten them flatly."

“...But if he's a bad king.”

“I didn’t say he couldn’t be a good king.” Keith tilted his head, “I’m saying he isn’t one now.” There was a difference.

“...”

Keith stretched his hands as he headed into his portal to get something to eat. After fighting those guys and talking to him, he was famished.

Othniel tilted his head as he turned to William, “Your kid is really like an adult.” 

“That’s because he grew up the fastest.” Unlike the others, Keith did many things an eight-year-old wouldn't do. He was running multiple stores and organizing their expansion as well! His experience was definitely higher than a normal person's.

That was one of his strengths. 

“He’s a natural as well.” Thalia added, “My daughter is so lucky to marry him.” 

“Wait, what? She’s not marrying him!” Julius's eyes twitched as he heard that. 

Thalia gave him a weird look, “Are you seriously still going on about the two not marrying? Just accept that it’s happening. You know it’s impossible with how Carolyn is.” This doting father! When is he going to accept it?!

"This is not happening lalalalalalala!” Julius held his ears as he sang a song, trying his best to not listen.

William shook his head, “The thought of us being related makes me want to throw up.” 

“Hey! Are you saying that my daughter isn’t good enough?!”

“I’m not. I’m saying you’re not good enough.” That was a whole different matter. 

“Tch!” 

“But what about my daughter?” Finrandir stroked his chin. But that only caused Sophia and William to tilt their head, “Are you being serious?”

“Mmhmm.” 

“...”
