Keith stared at Annica with a blank face, then a burst of loud laughter escaped his mouth.
"What are you laughing at?" Annica looked at him weirdly.
"Cough! Cough! I think you will be in for a surprise." Keith replied.
"What surprise?"
"It won't be a surprise if I tell you right now. You will know soon enough."
"So you really intend to fight with them? I don't know if you are delusional or stupid." Annica snorted while shaking her head.
"Neither. I'm confident because I know what I'm doing. Now the bet is set, don't disappear after the fight." Keith said with a taunt.
"Why would I? When are you giving me that bloodstone?" She brushed him off.
While talking they reached the end of the corridor, and ahead of them was a large gathering of various staff and students. It was the front courtyard leading to the central hall. When they appeared together, several eyes focused on them.
