The Extra's Dominance

June 18, 2080, Thursday.

It's been 3 days since Raven started his intense training, he now even started doing training after classes.

He also train alone in his dorm.

And while in class, Raven is repeatedly lifting both of his legs up and down every second without fail.

Raven's sturdy and awakened body can take the sudden increase on his training, but his mental health couldn't.

Thus he's always exhausted mentally and physically the whole 3 past days.

It came to the point that Raven doesn't care anymore if he's disturbing anyone with the noises he's making in the middle of the classes because of his training.

Though his classmates thinks that Raven is being weird, no one pointed it out as Raven always look annoyed as soon as he entered the classroom.

Because of the incident with Harvey, the whole [CLASS A-1] became wary of his mood.

Even Yuki on Raven's head, is slightly scared of Raven.

If Yuki doesn't know Raven fully, she will definitely not come near him.

Raven also occasionally leaves Yuki to Levina in his dorm to focus on training.

(After the classes, in the Lunar's library.)

Eve, Adelle, Aoi, Alec, and Blake are together studying.

Raven is still on his training and will join them in the next few minutes.

On the other hand, Curtis is outside the academy, buying a nonexistent product.

Eve asked Curtis to buy her something that's from outside the Lunar, but what Eve told him is not a real thing, and Curtis doesn't know that.

Curtis is constantly annoying Eve with his cringe flirting, so Eve did it.

Curtis has been gone for 3 hours now.

Though Alec and Aoi found what Eve did cruel, they didn't tell Curtis the truth because they're cringing on his flirting with Eve too and can't focus on studying.

Adelle finds the situation funny and had a bet with Blake on how long it will take Curtis to realize that he's trying to buy something that doesn't exist.

Though Blake didn't particularly care as Curtis is using him as a punching bag when they're doing group spars.(so he held quite a grudge against Curtis, thus Blake let him wander like a stupid outside the Lunar).

Blake bet that Curtis will not return today and just apologize to Eve tommorow morning because he couldn't find what she wants.

Eve, Alec, Aoi, and even Adelle finds Blake's prediction to be funny and they took it as a joke.

"What do you guys think about Raven's actions these past 3 days?"

Then, Adelle asked the group out of boredom.

"I don't know, maybe he's stressed?"

Alec awkwardly answered.

"I'm not really thinking much about it as Raven is normally weird anyway."

Blake casually answered fully averting his attention from studying to gossiping with Adelle.

(Blake will regret this later at night, but he will still sleep peacefully anyway and say "It's now up to future me."... Then when he remembered it the next day, he will curse at his past self.)

"I don't know that much about Raven, so I don't really know."

Aoi answered.

"I don't know what he's doing but he is annoying me, sometimes more than Curtis."

Eve stated with a clearly annoyed voice.

Adelle and Alec laughed awkwardly. Blake and Aoi are worried about Raven's safety.

It's because they're sitting near to Raven in the classroom, so everytime Raven lift and unlift his legs.

They heard a small, annoying, noise. Causing the group to be unable to fully focus on the lessons the professors are teaching.

And in addition, they have a very strong hearing as their senses became stronger when they awakened.

The professors can't do anything about Raven as he's smart. And there's no rule about what he's doing is not allowed.

When Eve couldn't bear it anymore, she 'politely' asked Raven to stop yesterday.

Raven's answer was:

"I want to stop too, but I can't at the moment so bear with it for the time being, I'll eventually stop anyway."

He even sounded bored at that time, making Eve more annoyed.

And now that Eve remembered it again, she clenched her fist and swore to get her revenge to Raven.

"He even do that weird legs lifting while studying with us in the library, making me unable to focus on what I'm reading."

Eve mumbled as he thought of Raven joining them soon and breaking her concentration.

"You're weirdly conscious of Raven, that might be a sign, HAHAH..aha..ha... Sorry."

Adelle said and started laughing, but she stopped when she saw Eve sending her a death glare.

"Bad move Adelle."

Aoi whispered to Adelle while shaking her head.

"I just want to make the mood lighter."

Adelle said with a gloomy voice.

"Then why don't you just tell Eve what Raven hates?"

Blake unconsciously muttered while looking at Adelle with eyes like telling 'You're so stupid.'.

Then he shrugged his shoulders.

"What does he means?"

What Blake said caught Eve's attention, so now she's asking Adelle with bright eyes.

Adelle got swept by Eve's sudden change of mood, it's a rare to happen, so she answered immediately.

"I don't really know that much, but Raven once said that he doesn't like the idea of eating someone else's cooking."

But as soon as she blurted those out, Blake and Adelle realized what they just did.

"Hmm, interesting."

Eve mumbled with a smile, though Eve rarely smiles and she look more beautiful with it.

Alec, Aoi, Adelle, and Blake are not happy seeing Eve's creepy smile.

Eve started to study again, but now while smiling and giggling from time to time.

'I'm gonna cook something very salty for Raven tomorrow lunch, I'm gonna forcefully pull him to the cafeteria and have him eat it there.'

Eve is not dumb so she knows she's popular, and she also always hear about it from the others.

So by giving Raven her homemade food in front of many people, she can get her so called 'revenge'.

After giving Raven her homemade food, there will be 2 possible scenarios.

'One, Raven will decline and not eat the food, thus making the boys in the cafeteria being angry to Raven, so Raven will be their target of bullying. Especially Curtis.'

(Though Eve knows that Raven can handle them, she just want to annoy Raven, as she knows how Raven despites dealing with annoying people.)

'Two, Raven will predict scenario one because of his great insight, thus he will accept the food unwillingly, but when Raven eat it, he will taste something so salty.'

'And even if Raven wants to stop eating, he wouldn't. He need to finish my food to avoid scenario one, but in the end, because he will eat something that I made, he will still be targeted by jealousy of the boys anyway.'

Just the thought of her future mischievous plan is making Eve smile even deeper.

"Fufufu... Just you wait."

She happily mumbled.

Adelle and Blake are already regretting what they said.

While Aoi and Alec are worried for Raven.

'Good luck Raven, I can't help you that much this time, but I'll always be your friend.'

Alec thought shaking his head and continuing to study.

Raven joined them later, he's clean and doesn't look like someone who just finished training.

But even after they finished their group study session, nobody warned Raven about the misfortune coming at him.

It's just that Raven felt chills when he saw Eve smiling at him happily.

Raven knows Eve is annoyed with him so he knows something is wrong.

Though because of exhaustion, Raven didn't think much about it.

Oh, and Curtis didn't return by the way.

[Raven's POV]

Thursday, 9:00 P.M.

I'm in my dorm with Yuki and Levina.

I can't keep up with my training anymore, so I decided to consume one more [Mellow Flower].

I mean two.

"With these, my body will feel a bit lighter, resulting me to do my training more efficient and faster."

I said looking at the [Mellow Flowers] in my hand.

-Kyuu!

Yuki, who is on top of my head, proudly tweeted.

Yuki ranked up twice yesterday after feeding her an <A+> monster core that was given by Clifford, her overall rank is now <F+>, while her intelligence is now <E-> rank and her skill <stealth> is now level 3.

"Yes, please guard me again this time Yuki."

I said as I pat Yuki.

-Kyuuu!

Yuki replied and puffed her chest out like saying 'Leave it to me!'.

"There are foods in the refrigerator, don't eat them all at once."

I then faced and said to Levina, who is flying beside me.

-Wha-! I'm not a glutton!

She exclaimed.

"Sure, sure."

-Why does it looks like you don't believe me?!

"I believe you."

'I don't actually.'

I thought internally.

Levina got curious at my cooking after seeing Ruby and Keara happily eating foods that I made, even though Levina doesn't need to eat food and can survive as long as there's mana.

Levina insisted that she wants to try the dishes I make.

I actually don't mind, so I cooked for her.

But after that, Levina is now frequently requesting me to make foods for her.

It came to the point that she's eating in her spirit form so the foods are as big as her.

I said it doesn't work like that, but Levina said she knows and is just doing it to trick her brain that she's eating a gigantic food.

I find that idea stupid, but I didn't stop her as it's kinda funny to watch.

It's interesting that she's not getting fat.

With a giggle, I removed my funny thoughts and opened my mouth.

"Please take care of Yuki. When somebody comes except from Ruby and Keara, don't let them in."

"Actually, just don't open the door, Keara and Ruby have their own access to my dorm."

I said as I shrugged.

-I know that already.

Levina then replied lazily. Not that I mind.

"Then... Please take care of me."

-Kyuu!

-I'll take care of you even if doesn't ask me to.

Then after that, without further ado, I swallowed 2 raw [Mellow Flowers].

My expression immediately crumbled and my head started to hurt.

'It's fucking bitter!'

I thought as I closed my eyes.

Then I started circulating my mana inside my body.

With that, like last time, I entered a trance state.

***

"Fwuuu..."

Letting out a breather, I opened my eyes and looked around.

I saw Yuki sleeping on my lap.

Then I saw Levina in her spirit form eating foods that are on the table.

-This... It's really good, human's foods are good and Raven's foods are much better!

I can hear her mumblings while eating.

"Good job for not eating everything immediately."

I said.

-Ah, Raven! You're awake now!.. Yeah! See? I didn't eat them all immediately.

Levina proudly exclaimed as she flew toward me and transformed in her human form, she's carrying a food that's like a fried chicken.

"Yeah, whatever, anyway, what's the time now?"

I asked Levina as I stood up and place Yuki on the bed gently.

"It's 9:05 A.M now in this world's time."

So I've been in trance for half a day.

It's a long time, fortunately, I already told Ruby and Keara about my plan, so they wouldn't worry unnecessarily.

And the time it took me is near the time I predicted it will take me to fully consume 2 herbs.

"How do you feel?"

Levina asked me curiously.

Looking down at my body, I did a small and short stretching.

"Hmm, I feel much lighter now and I can feel mana better, though I'm still far away from ranking up."

My ranking up pace is already terrifyingly fast, but I still think it's a shame that I'm not ranking up even after consuming 2 [Mellow Flowers].

Then after a while, I suddenly frowned.

"Also, I can still taste a very bitter taste in my mouth."

I complained as I licked inside my mouth.

"Well, you consume 2 herbs at once, you should be glad that it's a success as using many herbs in a short amount of time will make it most likely to fail."

Levina then said. I nodded my head at her words as she's right.

I can actually tell that the effect of the herbs I consumed this time is less than the first time.

If I can just have my leeway, I'll consume the herbs individually.

But I can't at the moment because of the time constrain, as a matter of fact, the story is not even starting yet in this time.

Right, the very first event in my novel, is the assessment test.

And it still hasn't happen.

With that in mind, I ate breakfast.

'I can't taste anything, it's just all fucking bitter!'

If I wasn't the one who cooked the foods, I will definitely blame this to the chef, but I know my cooking skill is good, now I understood that everything I eat today, will probably bitter.

I trained a little after eating then I took a bath and went to the classroom.

***

Upon entering the classroom, I saw Curtis near Eve.

"I'm sorry Eve, I looked everywhere the whole night, but I really can't find anything that's called [Pyrrhic]! Please forgive me for coming back without it and don't hate me!"

I heard Curtis saying that in a fairly loud voice.

'What the fuck is wrong with him?'

I frowned at that sight but I ignored him and went to my seat.

Upon getting near my seat. I can see Aoi, Alec, and Adelle looking at Blake with a surprised expression.

On the other hand, Blake is being all proud. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

'What's with these weirdos?'

When I sat on my seat, Alec looked at me.

"Oh, you're complexion is much better today!"

He said and greeted me.

"Yeah, I got a good rest."

I replied.

Adelle and Blake looked at me too.

"Oh, it's true."

"Good for you huh."

"Thanks."

After a few exchanges of words and sentences with them, I started moving my legs up and down.

Naturally, it made some noises.

Eve looked at me, I thought she will be looking at me all annoyed, but she's smiling.

Then I saw Aoi looking at me worriedly.

The same goes to Alec, Adelle, and Blake.

Looks like Curtis doesn't know anything and is just looking at me like I'm some kind of weird shit.

"Raven."

Eve called out for me.

"Um, yes?"

I'm pretty nervous for some reason, but I still replied anyway.

"Are you free this lunch?"

She asked me with a smile.

This time, chills travels throughout my whole body.
