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

Volume 12 Chapter 48: Don’t You Think It’s Peculiar? 

The dorm mothers and May brought the food to the table. Keith noticed something off with May as everyone ate, "May, there's a pimple on your face. Are you overworking again?" Stress would cause pimples; this was especially so with this woman.

"Ahh," May tried to cover her cheek, but that was when Laura shouted, "May won't go to bed!"

"Laura!" How could she betray me like this?!

"Later, I'll give you a facial and a foot massage." 

"Facial? Feet massage?" The others tilted their heads, confused by the child's words. When they heard that, William, Julius, Edmund, and Lionel's faces scrunched up. 

Not this again! 

"Facials help with breakouts and maintain a clear skin. Also, washing feet is good for the body."

"Young Master, you don-" "It's fine, I've already done it before, so I can do it again." 

"..." Four faces scrunched up as they wanted to throw themselves out the window. They were about to have another debacle with this! And they were not the only ones facing this: Long Aotian, Hayate, Virel, and Cadmus felt something off!

After dinner, Carolyn and the others from S-class sat in the dining room. The adults rested on the second island, leaving them alone to focus. 

“Alright, we have to change it.” No matter what, they had to change their plan going forward with this. What Keith said had struck home with them.

“For starters, what should we do?” Scarlet questioned. As they were kicked out of the room, they were coming up with ideas on how to solve this. However, they really had no clue!

“I still want to do a fight festival."

“No!” Everyone spoke in unison. Well, except for Melor.

"The risks outweigh the pros." There were too many issues with the fight festival.

"Then what do you suggest we should do? It's the only option we have on hand!" This was true.

"..." 

Long Lihua added, “Let’s think about it briefly. Remember what Keith said; we’re different from the others. We can do something that others can’t do.” That was true.

"..."

"What's the matter, Gabriel?" The man had been silent throughout their conversation.

"How about a dance?"

"A dance?" "You mean something in a ballroom?"

"No, not like that. But just a dance that you see from time to time during festivals? We can also incorporate our magic into it as well." They knew more magic than others, and they could use this to their advantage!

“Yeah! We have to do something about this!” Everyone brightened when they heard that.

 “I think I know of a way to do so as well!”

“Hmm?”

…

While that was happening in the dining room, they could hear them shouting despite being on the second island. Cedric grinned, “It seemed that they had gotten their gears in motion.”

“Their spirits are back up,” Lilith chuckled.

As they sipped their tea, “Now, I want to see whether or not F-class could really stand at the top.” Lilith was quite curious about the boy’s declaration against the other classes.

“Would this be a first, Headmaster?” All eyes were directed to the dragon, casually eating cookies. Well, it's more like he was being fed by Long Yueying and Yukiko.

"Yes."

It was something that had never occurred before. And why should it? F-class was the lowest, while S-class was the highest. That was something that would never change unless there was an outlier.

There was an outlier to all of this: Keith.

Camelia tilted her head, "Why do I get a hunch you did all this on purpose?" Knowing what Keith was capable of and allowing him to go down to F-class? It was too much of a coincidence.

Cadmus grinned, “Like I told Sohma before, it was only a whim on my part. Besides, I said it before, and you were all there.” These adults were there during the introductory ceremony.

“I’m most interested in seeing what Keith could do, not as a student but more for others. That brat has a magnetic personality. In addition, he may not say it, but he hates losing as well."

“That is indeed true.” William and Sophia won’t deny it. When it was a competition that Keith wanted to win, he would go all out.

"He's stubborn like a mule. He won't give up on something if he really wants it."

Othniel laughed, “Now I want to see what’s happening at your territory, William.” That was something they were all curious about.

William sipped on his tea, “Can I not?” Having so many royalties come to his territory would be annoying and a hassle. He could already see it now. But that only caused them to have evil grins,

“To think the statue William would get so annoyed.”

“Indeed.” 

“…” William would definitely fight them when this was over. 

“But what are we going to do about tomorrow?”

“Eh?”

"You understand that F-class isn't running tomorrow, right?" F-class was taking their break.

“…” Silence. Does that mean no food? That was certainly the case. Hayate noticed Long Aotian's silence, "What's the matter, Aotian?" 

“There’s something I’m really curious about?”

“Hmm?”

“Just something about what Keith did today.” Long Aotian frowned, “Don’t you think it’s quite peculiar?”

“Hmm?” 

Lilith nodded, "Indeed, I felt his actions today were not by coincidence."

“…” They all thought about it, wondering what would happen tomorrow. 

"Either way, where is the kid right now?"

"Washing May's face."

"..." 

"Hah, so lucky," Sophia and those who were there at the time could only sigh while giving a sharp side-eye to their spouses.

"..."
