"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck..."
I let out a long sigh as I feel like my whole existence is currently the embodiment of exhaustion!
I'm suuuuuper exhausted, physically and mentally.
I'm currently in the classroom, it's still a bit early and no professor has shown up yet.
"Raven, you really look like in a bad shape these days..."
Then I heard Blake's worried voice beside me.
I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't just look like in a bad shape... I really am in a bad shape."
I grumbled in a casual tone.
"What had you been doing these past 3 days anyway?"
Then Alec, who's sitting on my other side, asked me.
It's been 3 days since the incident between me and Sean and his group in the freshmen cafeteria.
I didn't hear anything from them since, I haven't even seen any of their members as if they're intentionally hiding from me.
But it's also had been 3 days since I got a long and comfortable sleep. It's because that day, I made an pledge to myself that I'll focus on the [Body Reconstruction] matter.
I sleep for only 2 hours everyday and used all of my free time training, just to about it is making me frown!
I looked at Alec and spoke.
"I've been preparing for the near future."
I answered.
My answer is pretty vague so the others are just looking at me weirdly.
Though, Eve has been pretty weird for quite a while now as she glance at me from time to time and scoffs.
'Is my appearance that bad?'
I thought, I'm rather dejected.
'My charm stat increased you know!'
I inwardly exclaimed.
"Are you gonna continue tiring yourself out by doing 'gods-know-what' again and again till the test?"
Adelle asked me worriedly. At her question, I let out a bright smile.
"Today will be the last day, I'm certain of it!"
I answered energetically.
My efforts these past 3 days didn't go in vain, as soon enough, this very same day...
I will go through [Body Reconstruction]!
The others looked at me weirdly because of my sudden energy change, even Curtis. Well, I don't give a shit.
'Let's see my process...'
I thought before opening the system and checking my process to the [Body Reconstruction]'s requirements.
=====

=====
Swoosh-
Click-
I was about to look at my process in the requirement number 5 when the sliding door suddenly opened and a male professor entered.
He was handsome and have waist-long shiny green hair, his yellow eyes are attractive behind his round and clear glasses, also like Oscar, his body built is pretty average.
His name is Pete, if I remembers it right...
Anyway, what surprised me is that Professor Pete is glaring at me, clearly hating me for 'gods-know-why'!
(Because of his relationship with Ruby, Raven just doesn't know.)
I already saw plenty of professors who looked at me like that, and I know they will make a big fuss at everything I do. So I closed the system without checking my last process.
'I need to focus or that shitty professor will chew me alive. Though I saw almost everything of my process and they're all done except the last one.'
I then silently smiled at the thought of me acquiring a better body constitution soon.
"Let's start the class."
Professor Pete said as soon as he stepped to the platform in front of the classroom.
Professor Pete teaches Magic Interruption.
As the name says, his class is about how to cancel or interup magics or mana.
"Today I'm gonna teach you all how to cancel your opponent's mana barrier."
As soon as Sir Pete declared that, I got bored immediately.
I don't really care about his class as I can absorb any magic or mana using the skill of the [Ring Of Gluttony].
So my plan is to just stay silent the whole class period.
"Raven."
But this son of bitch professor really have something against me.
He's looking at me like I'm some kind of disgusting shit, and I hate that.
'He must had heard about the scene I caused the other day and he might be from Sean's side... So he chose to cling in power.'
I thought.
I added another person in my mental list, the must observe targets.
'If he become even a bit sus, I'll end him immediately.'
I thought before opening my mouth.
"What is it Sir?"
I asked Sir Pete, and He smirked at me.
"Do you know how to produce a mana barrier?"
Sir Pete asked.
"I can."
And I casually answered.
It seems like that annoyed Sir Pete more.
'Wow, I can watch his face turn like that all day and I wouldn't be bored.'
I inwardly said to myself. I'm lying as I'm already bored by just looking at Sir Pete's whole existence.
Tap- Tap- Tap-
Then Sir Pete walk toward me, and stopped in front of me.
"Can you please produce one?"
He asked.
I looked at him straight before casually waving my hand, and as soon as I did, a transparent blackish shield made of mana appeared between me and Sir Pete.
'I'm just gonna call him Pete, calling him 'Sir' feels unpleasant seeing him pick on his student.'
I muttered inwardly.
Sir Pete then with a smile, placed his hand on the surface of my mana barrier.
Bzzzt-!
"Urgh..?!"
And as soon as he made contact with my mana, he got shocked, literally, by electric.
"Lol..."
I weakly mumbled looking at Pete who quickly retrieved his hand.
'Having an electric attribute mana is really the best.'
I thought.
"What was that?"
Pete asked me with a frown.
I looked at him innocently as if asking what is he talking about.
'My attribute is kinda rare and powerful, I can't let others know it just yet.'
Everyone didn't notice the electric spark just now because it's not that powerful to begin with.
'This idiot just got surprised.'
"Keum..."
Letting out a fake cough, Pete didn't pry too much as he would appear like an idiot if he do so.
"Okay class, now I'll use a 2nd tier magic that can cancel Raven's mana barrier."
Pete then said as a magic circle appeared on top of his palm, he aimed it at my mana shield.
"<Dispel>"
And Pete casted a magic.
"Kugh..."
My mana barrier shattered, and what else? I took a fucking slash back!
Looking at Pete, he has this sneering smile on his face.
"What happened? Are you okay?"
He asked sarcastically.
'So that's how you want to play huh.'
Pete intentionally made his <Dispel> magic a bit more stronger than my mana barrier so he can attack me indirectly.
If I complain, he would probably say that I was much weaker than he expected.
"I'm fine."
So I casually replied with a shrug.
Pete's smile flinched at my words, but he immediately regained it as he looked around the room.
"Now, do you guys know what will happen if I use a stronger cancelling magic than the target magic or mana?"
Pete asked everyone with a bright plastic smile, everyone's eyes are on us, but only few knows that we're having a conflict.
And some of those who knew are Alec, Blake, Adelle, Eve, Aoi, and Curtis.
They're looking at Pete with disgust. Not that this scumbag notice them.
Then Pete looked straight at me again.
"Can you make another mana barrier for us to demonstrate to your classmates what will happen?"
Pete asked me politely, though, I can see him grinning ear to ear.
'He's trying to break my pride and attack me at the same time.'
This idiot is awfully predictable, so with a cunning smile...
"Of course."
I replied.
Then another black mana barrier appeared between me and Pete, it's the same as I did last time.
'I'm gonna withstand the slash back and said it tickles...'
I thought as I prepared myself to recieve the damages Pete is planning to inflict me.
I activated <Calm Thinker> to the max to help me with my poker face.
Pete seems to had predicted my plan as he soon raised his right hand and aimed its palm to my mana barrier.
A magic circle bigger than my head appeared in front of his palm.
And with a disgusting smile...
"<Greater Dispel>!"
Pete exclaimed and casted a spell!
Swoosh-
A green wind-like thing made of mana came out of Pete's magic circle and it immediately shot to my mana barrier.
"Keum..."
A small voice escaped my mouth because of pain as soon as the wind-like thing clashed with my mana.
Luckily, no one heard me so I can still carry on my plan.
Swaaaa–
Cold breeze of winds were going around in the room, they were produced by the clash of my mana and Pete's magic.
My mana barrier is still holding as I am continuously pouring mana in it, and Pete seems to be greatly unpleased at what's happening.
Then with my calm and casual face, I looked at him and smirked.
"Maybe you should've used a more advance magic?"
I said in a provocative manner.
Everyone in the classroom heard it, and soon they started whispering among themselves.
"Sir Pete's advance magic can't cancel Raven's mana barrier..."
"Raven is really amazing huh."
"He's so wonderful..."
Words like that was heard everywhere and Pete got angry upon hearing them.
(Also most of the praises are from the girls, that's why Pete is so angry.)
Pete gnashed his teeth as if he wants to shatter them, then he raised his left hand and aimed it at me again!
"<Greatest Dispel>!"
Pete exclaimed as he casted a 3rd tier magic.
'Even if my shield do disappear, it will be Pete's defeat as he used a more advance magic than he initially needed!'
I concluded immediately.
But I wasn't someone who will stop because I defeated the enemy!
I'll rub salt in their wounds if I can!
So with that, I lifted both of my arms with the intention to hold my mana barrier as long as I can against Pete's magic!
=====
5.Lift 75 kilograms, 20,000 times.(20,000/20,000)
=====
But then a transparent window sent by the system suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Eh?"
And a dumbfounded noise escaped my mouth.
I have training weights attached to each of my limbs and each of them are weighting 75 kilograms.
So every time I lift my arms or legs, the requirements number 5 of the [Body Reconstruction] progresses.
=====
[Body Reconstruction's requirements had been met...]
[Starting the 'Body Reconstruction']
=====
"Eh?"
Then another transparent window appeared, notifying me the start of my body reconstruction.
And after that, bright light erupted from my body.
"Eh?"
