God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

For the next two weeks, Keith continued on with his regular schedule. Free time was basically just the time period where people weren't given any responsibilities and could do whatever they wanted. But this didn't mean that they couldn't rest while working in the morning.

As long as their team was making sure that the work was getting done, then a few members would do their own thing. This trend was started by Adrian, who was Amelia's brother and it was implemented by Timmy who made it popular by walking around with his fathers concubines, showing them off.

Keith's way of rolling logs on the beach was also copied by various teams and had become a norm in the training camp by now. With these two methods combined, the teams put in a 100% effort at the first 30 to 60 minutes and once the wooden bridges for rolling other logs were created, they split up and went ahead to do various other things.

Most of the teams from Art church focused on recreational activities and art based things while Medicine and money churches focused on their own specifications. They had to depend more on trading and they did their best but the churches of War and Protection really had nothing that made them stand out.

Due to this, most of them just joined the other churches and followed their examples while doing things together. Between the three churches, these two were the neutral parties with one side having the most beloved team among the masses, Keith's Team Sera. And on the other side there was Clark's Team Death which most people hated, included his own War church members.

But even with so many people against him, Clark still went on with his days as usual but he did not cause any more trouble.

Keith's team on the other hand had unanimously decided to split into two. One would take care of their food business and the other would join the other teams to prepare for the recreational events. Amelia, Clara and Keith were on the second team.

Amelia was a great dancer, specialising in ball room dances while Keith had established himself as a great Pianist. Even though this was where he made a name for himself, he still participated in dance practices with two different groups.

Clara on the other hand, followed Keith's footsteps and decided to learn how to dance.

Brandon was the only one who took care of transporting the logs as he didn't get tired easily and after almost an hour, there was requirement for him to even use most of his energy.

Nathan, Laura and Caleb. The trainee inquisitor trio took care of cooking up fufu and stew based on Keith's recipe and made sure that everything was ready before break time. In just two weeks, everyone had gotten so efficient with their roles, that it was barely physically straining to any of them.

But among all the positive things, there was one person who was struggling the most.

Clara sat down on a wooden log and took a few sips of water from her canteen as her eyes kept looking at the dancing group where Keith was currently with. Amelia walked over to her and sat down beside her, but Clara's attention was completely fixated on Keith and the group.

"Oi, I'm talking to you!" Amelia said as she pinched Clara's belly, making her wince slightly.

"What? Sorry I wasn't paying attention."

Amelia shook her head, "You know, if you're having trouble with the dance, you should just ask Keith to practice with you. I'm sure that he wouldn't say no. On one end, he's too worried about Timmy and on the other hand, you're too worried about Keith's opinions. One of you must make a move, Clara. I also know that the only reason you joined the two of us was so that you can spend more time with him."

Clara sighed, "But what's the point. Those people tell Keith to dance with other women instead of me... I was even pushed out into the trainee group instead of the main one where both you and Keith currently are."

"That's exactly why I'm telling you to ask Keith to help you out. He started out at the same point as you and now he's almost as good as me. Heck, I've been practising this shit for more than a decade and he's managed to fill in the gap in just two weeks. It's frustrating to say this but that bastard is talented, very talented.

You should see how the tribal dance group praise him. It's like he never gets tired nowadays and no matter how much he has to stomp his foot onto the sand, he keeps doing it. But both of us know how much he worked to get to his point. After all, you were the one who put medicine on his blisters last week." Amelia said as she hugged Clara from the side.

Clara nodded as she turned to look at Keith who was standing in a circle with the others in the group, jumping around as he moved sideways energetically.

"But he's not wrong about Timmy... he could cause a lot of problems if he saw me being extremely close to another man. The first thing he'll do once the camp ends, is to go to Timothy and complain about me and his father always listens to him, so I'll be forcefully married off." she said, knowing very well that Keith's logic made a lot of sense, but she also wanted to spend time with him and her patience was running out even though she wasn't expressing it.

Amelia shook her head, "He only thinks about the extremes, that idiot. Like listen to me okay? You dancing with Keith is only for the events. Even if Timmy sees you training with him, there's no way he'll think that you have a romantic interest in Keith unless you start doing... you know... those kind of things in public.

Think of it from Timmy's point of view. Will he really get suspicious when he sees you dancing with Keith when Keith is literally supposed to dance with 5 different women during out dance performance?"
