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

”...Why are you guys sitting so far away from us?” Cadmus and Keith sat inside the pergola across from one another. On the side were Carolyn and the others as they watched. They were behind a bush, trying their best to hide themselves. Actually, it was more like they were taking cover from a blast. 

“Don’t mind us and have a talk with him,” Carolyn quickly shooed the others away. This was not the time to be here. Who knew if Keith would be angry enough to explode everything in the ten-mile radius!

However, Keith added, “Nah, you guys can stay. I think you guys should hear it as well.”

“...Are you sure?” Jack really didn’t want to stay here and get hounded by him. From the looks of things, it would get a lot more dangerous. 

Keith frowned, “I’m not going to do anything weird.” What do you take me for?

“But that’s the I’m going to kill you look.”

“I-” “You do have that look,” Carolyn and Krystal muttered. They saw that same look as he headed over to Ignis Hammer. Those masks really took a number on him. 

“...” Keith shook his head as he turned to Cadmus, “Grandpa Cadmus, I think you need to explain some things to me.”

“Eh?”

“For starters, what is the representative?” Now that he heard about it and attended the meeting, he needed to understand what it was. And the person who could give him these answers was this dragon in front of him. 

“Ahh,” Cadmus took a deep breath before he took a deep sigh of relief, “I thought you were going to kill me or something.” His expression was relatively calm and deadly. That was the look that he was going to obliterate him. 

“Depends.” “What do you mean depends?!” I’m still going to die either way?! That didn’t seem right at all! Keith shook his head as he asked, “So what is the representative?”

“...” Cadmus took a deep breath as he explained, “So the year’s representative is basically the strongest and most capable student. We decided on these criteria when choosing this year’s representative.”

”This year was absurd.” Sohma chimed in and added, ”We had so many talented students that we had to alter the criteria for you guys.” This year was quite different from last time. Keith was the outlier, but the others weren’t slouches either.

“I see.” That was pretty normal. But that was when Scarlet questioned, “Hold on, then what made you guys choose Keith instead of the other candidates?” She was quite curious about this. But she had a sort of inkling to it as well. 

”We were looking for an ultimate all-rounder that could basically do everything without any trouble. You guys basically were stronger at one point while weak in others.” 

”That was why we had to choose someone that’s basically good at everything. Those were Long Lihua, Keith, Scarlet, and Ayaka.” These four were basically the top contenders. 

”Keith was the best choice since I know this brat was holding back.” Spending so much time together made him understand his capabilities. 

“...I see.” That made sense with the others since it was true: Keith was the best all-rounder compared to them. It was made even clearer when he changed himself into a tank. No one could do that unless they had the capabilities. 

“So what are the perks of a representative?” That was something he was curious about. There seemed to be some added benefits from how they talked about it. 

“There’s a lot.”

“And you didn’t think to tell me about it?!” “Epp!” Cadmus quickly hid behind Carolyn and the other students. That only looked at him weirdly, “Are you kidding me?” You’re supposed to be an ancient dragon! Why are you always scared of him?

“...Are you sure you guys are related?” Herrick had to question Long Lihua and Ayaka. But the two’s expressions said it all. They were embarrassed to see him act like this. Keith remained calm as he questioned, “So what kind of abilities do I have?”

“...You’re basically the leader of the entire grade.” Sakura chimed in.

“Say what?” 

“In essence, you could do things that others couldn’t.” Sakura sighed as she held her head. Keith realized, “I take it that you were the representative before?”

“Mmhmm,” She was the first year’s representative before him, “Basically, you could do things that others can’t. For example, you could force students to leave their class and transfer them to another.”

“Wait, what?! I can do that?!” Isn’t that kinda dangerous?! 

“Naturally, you would need the approval from the headmaster,” Aidiun added. There was no way they could do a class change so easily. If they brought up a random student, it would have caused problems.

“And the max amount of times you could do this is three per term.”

“...That’s kinda messed up.”

“Besides this, another ability is that you can alter the curriculum.”

“Wait, he could do that?!” Now, Carolyn and the others became intrigued. This was something they didn’t know. 

“Naturally, most of your power would need approval from the instructors. But you could literally change it if you deem it necessary.”

“Keith! Do it!”

“Huh?! What do you want me to do?” They have an idea?

“Make practice drills! Make us run around with weights or something.”

“No!” “There’s no way you could do that!” Alfia and Carolyn roared. 

“What?! We need to have strength!’ “We’re not muscle heads like you!” 

“...” Keith didn’t say anything about it, but then he turned to Cadmus, “Do the classes have to be based on the curriculum. Or can we do something drastic?”
