The Extra's Dominance

[Raven's POV]

"Oh, that's right, for you my reason seems unreasonable... Guess you wouldn't understand me because you don't have the same face as mine."

I said to the already annoyed Pete in front of me.

It's been a while now since I started to provoke him and make him attack me.

Fortunately for me, I saw a small movement from Pete's right shoulder after my last provocation.

'A right punch.'

I thought as I focused myself.

I'm not just provoking Pete for no reason, I have two. And one of them is to test my new capabilities.

With that in mind...

'<Thought Acceleration>'

I activated one of my skills, then the world slowed down for me.

'That was close...'

I thought as I saw Pete's fist few inches away from my mouth.

But not because I can see it doesn't mean I can dodge it.

Like the last time, my movements couldn't keep up with my accelerated thoughts and I'm moving slowly in my perspective.

So like what I did before in such situation, I circulated all the mana inside my body and scattered them in every nook of my body.

'I..want to be as fast as electric.'

I thought, using one of my electric attribute's characteristics. Terrifying speed.

Electric particles erupted from my body and my body was able to keep up with my fast thoughts even for a bit!

Then when I can move a bit more normal again. I immediately tilted my head to the left.

And not long after that, a fist passed by my left cheek.

That's when I deactivated <Thought Acceleration>.

Bam-!

Then Pete's fist accelerated and finished the punch in just a fraction of second.

"Lol"

I muttered in a provocative voice as I successfully envaded Pete's fist.

"Bad move professor."

I said to Pete with a mischievous smirk.

***

The tension around Raven and Pete got more intense, then not long and for barely just a second after Raven's provocation.

Swoosh-

Pete launched another punch!

Though Raven already predicted it, so even without activating one of his skills, he envaded the attack by swiftly dashing backwards several meters away from Pete.

Gently landing on the floor and looking Pete with a calm and collected face, Raven opened his mouth.

"You're being too violent, Sir Pete."

Raven muttered as he frowned.

"You piece of shit!"

Pete ignored Raven's words as he exclaimed.

Bam-

And instead, he dashed toward Raven.

"!"

But then midway, Pete stopped his approach and frowned.

It's because in front of Raven, 4 figures are standing and looking at him with serious eyes.

"Wow, didn't know you guys would step forward."

Raven said with a slight shock at what he's seeing.

In front of him were Blake, Alec, Adelle, and Aoi. They're shielding him from Pete.

Pete of course stopped not because he couldn't handle them, it's their backgrounds and achievements that made Pete hesitate and stop.

Seeing Pete motionless, Adelle looked back at Raven, the she opened her mouth.

"It's not my style to just watch when a friend is in trouble."

Adelle answered to Raven's statement just now. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

Raven was actually surprised at Adelle's words. Then he smiled at her and shrugged his shoulders.

"Who said I was in trouble? I could handle myself against him just fine."

Raven declared confidently.

"Yeah right, stop with your bullshits now."

But Adelle didn't believed him.

Raven frowned at Adelle's response, though he knows deep inside that with their current rank difference, Raven could only hold himself up against Pete for about a minute.

That's a very short span of time.

Even after considering the fact that Pete is not a combat oriented awakened, that's the limit Raven can hold up against Pete.

'Though, that time is enough.'

Raven inwardly thought, as he looked at the door at the front part of the classroom that's on the right side.

Then just about the time Raven expected.

Click-

The door opened and Kendy entered.

"Stop."

Then Kendy's oppressive and authoritative voice spread across the not so small rectangular classroom.

And everyone's eyes then turned to him.

Well, Raven already knows he's gonna come when Pete launched his 1st punch.

'Every room in the academy have cameras afterall that sends live footage of what's happening in the room to the Lunar Security System.'

Raven thought.

The reason he's not scared of confronting Pete in a fight is because he knows a staff will come and stop Pete.

Raven then looked at Pete.

Pete is looking at Kendy, his face grew a bit pale and he seems to be angry and frustrated.

Pete then looked back at Raven, and when their eyes met.

Raven smirked and opened his mouth.

'You should have holded it in... Your temper I mean.'

Raven mouthed to Pete.

Pete of course got angry but now that he's thinking normally after being stopped by Kendy, he knows that being furthermore provoked by Raven will not help him in any way.

So with deep breathes, Pete calmed himself down and averted his eyes away from Raven.

'Tsk, he didn't bite it anymore.'

Raven said inwardly in a dissapointed manner.

Then his gaze went back to Kendy, then he frowned.

Kendy was looking at Raven with a serious and tired look.

Raven shrugged his shoulders before secretly pointing at Pete.

'He started it.'

Raven mouthed to Kendy.

Shaking his head and letting out an exhausted sigh afterward, Kendy opened his mouth.

"Pete, the headmaster is calling you."

Kendy said, looking at Pete with disappointment.

"But..."

Pete tried to refute but seeing that every student and Kendy is looking at him with disappointed eyes.

He just bit his lower lip and clenched his hands tightly as he weakly nodded his head.

"I understand."

Pete answered and started to calmly walk toward Kendy's side.

Though he looks calm on the outside, Pete is cursing and killing Raven again and again inside his mind.

Click-

Soon Pete got out of the room. Kendy then glanced at Raven one last time.

"You should rest, your nose is bleeding."

He said and left.

Hearing his words, everyone looked at Raven, and then they saw blood dripping from his nose and his eyes seems tired.

His face was pale, overall, Raven's complexion doesn't look that good.

Raven touched his nose and confirmed that there's really a blood coming out from it.

"Are you okay?"

Blake approached Raven and asked in a worried tone.

Soon, Alec, Adelle, and even Aoi followed Blake and looked at Raven with eyes that contains different emotions.

Looking at them, Raven casually waved his hand and smiled.

"I'm fine, I just need a little rest."

He stated, which made the others frown.

"I can use healing magic, let me help you."

Adelle then said with a determined and concerned voice.

Raven just looked at her for some quite time before nodding his head.

"Please do so, I'll really appreciate it."

Raven said and stood in front of Adelle.

But before Adelle start, he looked at Blake, Aoi, and Alec.

Then with a little bow...

"Thanks for shielding me against Pete back then."

Raven thanked them.

"I just don't think a professor should be attacking a student, so I choose to interfere."

Aoi replied with a shrug.

"Me too."

"Me three!"

Then Alec and Blake followed.

Raven then glanced at Curtis and Eve who are standing near to each other, then he gave them a light bow as a sign of gratitude.

Raven doesn't know how but he's pretty certain that the 2 of them covered for him in some point.

Curtis just ignored Raven while Eve just furrowed her brows and eye rolled at Raven.

Not that Raven mind their reactions. Adelle then gently held Raven's hands.

Raven felt a soft touch, Adelle's hands are small and warm.

And feeling that, Raven frowned.

'This is uncomfortable...'

He thought as Adelle closed her eyes and started mumbling a chant, not long, a yellowish mana came out from Adelle's hand and soon covered Raven's whole body.

Raven felt a warm and comfortable sensation while being subjected to Adelle's mana, soon he started to regain energy and feel more better.

'Wow... Her healing skill is better than I thought.'

Raven thought.

Adelle's abilities are focused on support magic and skill.

She already mastered all 1st to 4th tier of buffs and debuffs, healing and restraining magic, and etc.

After some good seconds, Adelle opened her eyes again and retrieve her hands back.

"Are you feeling better?"

She asked Raven.

Raven then smiled and shrugged.

"Never felt better this whole week."

He answered.

Adelle was relieved hearing Raven's response as she thought her skills wouldn't work on Raven because of his weird nature.

It was then, Eve and Curtis joined them.

"Why did you provoke Professor Pete in the first place?"

Eve asked Raven in an annoyed tone.

Looking at her casually, Raven opened his mouth.

"He started it first, I just gave him the taste of his own medicine. How would I know he couldn't hold his temper?"

He sarcastically answered.

But Raven have another reason in doing that.

'Pete is most likely hired by that Dick.son to keep an eye on me, so I need to remove him as he might hinder my plans in some way or another.'

Raven thought.
