Gotcha![2]

"What's happening here?!"

After Sean punched out to Raven, a loud manly voice echoed across the cafeteria.

It was Kendy's voice.

"Huh?"

Sean immediately looked behind him where he heard the source of the voice, and by doing so, he looked away at Raven.

Everyone's attention shifted toward Kendy. Except for Raven who is closely looking at Sean's movements.

When Sean completely turned his head away from him.

'Now!'

Raven exclaimed internally and activated <Thought Acceleration>!

Everything around him seems to slowed down, but Raven didn't put any attention about it and instead talked to the system telepathically.

'I request to the system shop to increase my strength stat by 2 ranks for 3 seconds!'

[Request sent... Request has been approved by the Higher Beings!]

When the system declared that, Raven immediately deactivated his <Thought Acceleration>.

His head is already hurting after literally using the skill for a second!

But it didn't stop Raven.

Raven swung his open-palmed right hand horizontally toward Sean's face.

It all happened in a split second, the moment Sean became aware of Raven's attack.

Bam-!

It already made contact with his face.

When Raven's palm seems to be grabbing Sean's face, he changed the trajectory of his hand downward and slammed Sean's face on the floor.

Boom!

Raven slapped the hell out of Sean with all of his might!

"Huh...?"

"W-what..."

"What happened?"

Everyone's attention went back to where Raven and Sean are after hearing the loud banging sound.

Gasp!

And all of them were shocked to see Sean lying on the ground unconscious, his eyes are wide open but it's all white and his body is trembling a little.

"Sean!"

It was then someone rushed at Sean's body, it was Ervin.

The other members of the group that Sean brought then snapped out of their shock and glared at Raven.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"Do you think the school will let what you did go?"

"You're dead you idiot!"

They cursed and threatened Raven, but they actually didn't do anything as they were even too nervous to get close to Raven.

Instead, the group pointed at Kendy's direction.

"Sir Kendy and Miss Ruby saw your violence just now! You wouldn't escape punishment of the headmaster!"

One of Sean's group members shouted to Raven.

Raven looked to Ruby and Kendy's direction, Kendy is looking at him with a glare as if asking for his explanation.

While Ruby on the other hand is smiling ear to ear as if she finds everything that's happening amusing.

Raven then looked back to the group that Sean brought. They were all smirking at him and scoffing.

The only exception is Ervin who's trying to wake up Sean.

But after a while, when Sean still didn't regain his consciousness, Ervin glared at Raven too.

"What do you think you just did?"

He asked Raven with a threatening tone, his aura is scary as a bit of bloodlust escaped his body, making the others who felt it scared.

Not for Raven though, after meeting some crazyly strong creatures who wanted to really kill him, Ervin's bloodlust seems like a joke to Raven even without using his skills.

Raven shrugged his shoulders.

"What did I do?"

He asked and smirked afterwards.

"Self defense."

Raven's words echoed through the silent cafeteria. No noise was produced after his words.

"WHAT BULLSHIT?!"

But the silence got destroyed by Ervin's angered voice just after some few seconds.

Not that Raven give a shit.

As a matter of fact, Raven's eyes turned cold and he gazed everyone in the group that Sean brought.

Swoosh-

After that, due to Raven's annoyance, his skill <Monarch's Presence> activated on it's own and attacked the group.

It made Ervin flinch and the others to sweat continuously as they avoided Raven's cold eyes.

Though, all of them are experiencing at least one same thing, it's that they couldn't move.

Tap-

Raven stepped forward, and the sound of it made the whole group flinch again.

Then Raven looked down at Sean and pointed at him.

"That son of a bitch came at me and brought a group."

He muttered and looked at the said group Sean brought.

"But we don't plan on hurting you, we just came in a group!"

Ervin exclaimed, it took a lot of courage for him just to talk back to Raven.

"That's bullshit."

And Raven just scoffed at his effort.

"That Dick.son shit attacked me first, and he used mana."

Raven stated, still pointing at Sean.

"I just fought back as a self defense, and I didn't even use mana."

Raven added with a wolfish smirk.

"Krghh..."

And Raven's words made Ervin shut up.

Everyone watched Raven single-handedly humiliate a well known dangerous group in the Lunar Academy.

And that sight made them feel awe.

But to the group in subject, they feel the worst.

Raven didn't actually care about his surrounding so he looked at Kendy instead.

"That's what happened, I didn't do anything wrong. If you suspect that I'm lying, there's a lot of witness here."

Raven stated and pointed at random students around him.

"I can testify that what Raven stated are all true."

"Me too!"

"Me three!"

Alec, Blake, and Adelle respectively exclaimed.

Though it's not much, their readiness to take his side immediately made Raven grateful to them.

Kendy looked at Raven for a while before shaking his head and letting out a sigh.

"Fine, I'll just check it in the security room..."

Kendy muttered in a defeated tone.

"Sir!"

"Sir Kendy!"

The group tried to protest but it's no use.

"You guys were caught red-handed by many, and your group doesn't have a good reputation, you can complain all you want. I wouldn't help you."

Kendy said while emitting a heavy pressure and bloodlust, he's pressing down Sean's group using them.

Kendy knew the disgusting things Sean's group committed by abusing their parent's position and power.

That's why he hated them and actually delighted to see Raven slapped the hell out of Sean.

As a matter of fact, he will take Raven's side even if Raven attacked first. But now he has a valid reason to side with Raven.

The group shut up and just lowered their heads, Ervin just bit his lower lips and just continued to glare at Raven.

But Raven just casually walked away, ignoring everyone.

"All of these shits made me lose my appetite, I'll go to my dorm for a while."

Raven said, casually waving at Alec and the others.

"What are you planning?"

Kendy asked Raven when he was near him.

Raven smiled mischievously...

"I'm gonna remove what the academy can't."

Then he weakly whispered to Kendy before passing by him. Kendy frowned at Raven's words and he felt a bitter feeling inside him.

Not long, Raven passed Ruby too.

"Thanks for the help."

Raven mumbled to her ear, Ruby smiled and nodded her head.

"Thanks for the show too."

She replied.

-'Raven, I did great too!'

Then Raven heard Levina's childish but sweet voice inside his head.

'Yeah, thank you too.'

Raven nodded and replied in his mind.

Click-

And with that, Raven left the cafeteria.

***

{Raven's POV}

"Ugh... Fucking hell."

I weakly cursed as I massage my right arm.

Because of the sudden increase of my strength earlier, it strained my whole right arm.

It aches a lot and it's trembling, luckily no one notice it in the cafeteria.

Sean is a rank higher than me so I increased my strength stat by 2 ranks, and I didn't slap him randomly, I aimed at his jaw so he will really pass out.

"Now, I'm officially an enemy of Sean and his group that's full of perverts."

I mumbled as a smile appeared on my face, everything went according to my plan.

When I was sure that Sean is gonna come at me earlier, I planned things against him.

I used Levina as a communicator with Ruby, while I used Ruby to drag Sir Kendy in the cafeteria in a form of a small talk.

And when I saw Sean throwing his punch at me, I sent a telepathic message to Levina that they can enter, she passed my message to Ruby and then Ruby dragged Sir Kendy inside the cafeteria.

"Now that's the operation I called 'Catch the slippery bitch red-handed'!"

I happily exclaimed.

Oh, and the reason I knocked out Sean is for my next plan to work.

Well, I don't really need to knock him out but he annoys me so I did it in the end.

Anyway, with what I just did, Sean will be raging with hatred against me.

'And I'm sure he will use his father's authority to rig the upcoming test.'

There will be a group combat in the upcoming assessment test. I'm sure Sean will manipulate who I'm be gonna be grouped with and I'm pretty sure their group will be our opponent, 'coincidentally'.

"In the assessment test..."

A cunning smiled appeared on my face after roughly predicting what will happen.

"I will make my debut."

I stated, then I formed a new plan for me.

"Hm, is Yuki done with the mission I gave her?"

I mumbled in a weak voice as I didn't see Yuki yet since coming back yesterday night. Though, I know she's fine that's why I'm not really worried.

But I still want to see her.

I shook my head to remove such thought as Yuki's mission is my very 1st priority at the moment.

Then going to my second priority, I opened my [Body Reconstruction] mission.

=====

[Body Reconstruction]

1.Run 20,000 Kilometers.(10,001/20,000)

2.Do 5,000 push-ups.(2,549/5,000)

3.Do 5,000 sit-ups.(1,565/5,000)

4.Do 5,000 squats.(1,658/5,000)

5.Lift 75 Kilograms, 20,000 times.(8,084/20,000)

=====

"I still have 4 days before Saturday, the start of the assessment."

I messages my chin as I think and walk.

"But it will much better if I complete these shitty requirements as early as possible."

Nodding my head, I decided to lessen my sleep and focus at finishing the [Body Reconstruction] requirments.

And as a proof of my determination, I started training as soon as I reach my dorm.

But in the future, I'm gonna regret this decision of mine.
