Pete is tightly clenching his hands into fists.
He felt angry at Raven who just ignored him and went to the bathroom.
Also, Raven did that after breaking his mana barrier in front of the whole [Class A-1], Pete felt humiliated.
Though it's not his strongest, the mana barrier that Raven just destroyed is at least the 1/4 of his real power.
Pete was sure that his mana was dense at that time so it's really hard to believe that Raven just effortlessly cancelled it.
Pete is an <B> rank hero, then based on his information, Raven is just an <F-> rank freshman and non-combatant student.
That's why Pete felt humiliated, a low rank weak student just destroyed his mana barrier!
'How did he do that...?'
Pete asked himself inwardly as he gnash his teeth together.

[Raven's POV]
Click-
Closing the bathroom door after entering.
I was greeted inside by 2 more doors.
The bathroom is divided in 2 parts, 1 for the males and 1 for the females.
Of course I went to the male side.
"Wait..."
But before even nearing the door, I halted my steps and looked at the female side.
'I'm sure the female side will be a lot more cleaner...'
I thought and contemplated for my next move.
I then perked my ears and enhanced my hearing with mana.
Then not long, I just shrugged my shoulders and casually walked toward the female side.
Hearing that the classroom is awkwardly silent as no one is talking.
I immediately got in to the conclusion that no one will be coming in the bathroom for a moment.
Click-
So I entered the female side of the bathroom without hesitation.
And right as I entered.
I saw a huge mirror with a pink frame on the left wall, while the toilets and shower stalls are on the right side.
Not minding the girlish designs inside. I looked straight and saw my own reflection in the mirror.
"Holy cow..."
I muttered in shock and disbelief. I touched my face and looked at every nook of my body that's reflected on the mirror.
Sharp and perfect jawline, pointed nose, beautiful pinkish lips, and mean-sharp but attractive starry black eyes.
That's what I saw in the mirror.
A crazily attractive man!
"Man, I would fall in love to myself if I were a girl..."
I said.
Then my gaze went to my body.
My shoulders were broad, my muscles were firm and solid, it's not bulging but it looks perfect.
"This is just insane, I didn't even dream to have a body like this my whole life..."
Then removing my eyes from my reflection on the mirror and looking at my lower body.
It's muscular as well, but what I noticed the most is that my pants became shorter.
"No... I became taller."
I muttered, then confirming all the changes that happened to my body.
A satisfied smile crept up on my face as I felt very happy.
I'm grinning ear to ear, I'm a human so it's only normal, who wouldn't want a body like this?
"Alec who? Curtis who? The only handsome man I know is named Raven."
I said to myself while looking at the mirror, then I winked.

Click-
All the eyes in the classroom of [Class A-1] went to the bathroom's door that just opened again.
Then they saw Raven came out with a wide smile on his face.
He seems more confident than usual.
The students are still silent as Pete is still in the room, making things awkward for them.
Raven then walked and stopped in front of Pete.
"Sorry for the commotion Sir."
He then casually said without removing his grin.
It annoyed Pete but he kept his emotions inside, then looking straight at Raven.
"Care to explain what just happened?"
He asked in a serious tone.
Raven then suddenly frowned at the question.
Raven activated his skills to think of a good answer and it only took him 5 seconds to find a reason!
So while looking at Pete...
"This is my real appearance."
Raven lazily but confidently answered.
"What do you mean?"
This time, it was Pete who frowned.
All the eyes and attentions are focused on them as they're curious too at what happened to Raven.
Raven then gladly opened his mouth to explain.
"I was using an artifact to change my appearance into that, umm, average looking face."
"When you used a high spell that cancels or interrupts one's mana on my mana barrier, it was too strong for me, so I was about to receive a slashback."
Then after a short pause, Raven talked again while pointing at Pete.
"But instead, your spell targeted my artifact after my mana barrier broke, so the effect disappeared and I went back to my original appearance."
Raven lied through his teeth like it was as normal as breathing, he even indirectly blamed Pete!
Pete noticed it too, and the tension between him and Raven got more intense!
Making the near students around them swallow a mouthful amount of saliva because of nervousness.
Holding himself back from throwing a punch, Pete instead opened his mouth.
"Let's say what you said is true..."
Pete smirked before continuing.
"Then why are you trying to hide your real appearance?"
Pete asked as he's suggesting that Raven is planning something bad.
Though, Raven just shrugged, he already expected such question.
'As expected of this lowly scum pathetic shit of a human being, he's basically trying to arouse a suspicion about me being a spy from majins or demons.'
Tap.
With a small step of Raven.
He got closer to Pete.
They're now face to face, but Raven is slightly taller than Pete.
Just minutes ago he's a lot shorter that Pete, now the tables had turned and Raven is looking down at Pete.
"Heh"
He scoffed and smirked.
Crack.
And a sound of bone cracking was heard from Pete!
Pete is trying his best not to attack Raven!
But now that Raven is close and looking down at him, Pete really wants to kill him more!
Ignoring Pete's bloodshot eyes and veins that seems to be gonna pop any moment, Raven slouched next to Pete's ear.
Then opening his mouth...
"I hid my real appearance because I'm too handsome."
Raven arrogantly stated in a weak but clear and firm voice.
Not waiting for Pete's reply, Raven continued.
"Ruby doesn't even know my real appearance, yet she fell in love with me, so what if I revealed it?... People will go crazy because I'm too handsome."
Raven's smirk got bigger, then he stepped back and looked around the room.
Everyone is still looking at him.
Then looking back at Pete...
"See their reactions when it got revealed?"
Raven sarcastically asked Pete.
"Krrrg..."
Clenching his teeth tightly together, Pete struggled to speak without punching Raven.
"That's..not a...good reason."
He said.
Then it was just a moment, but Pete saw Raven smiled mischievously.
Raven looked at Pete with sorry eyes, then he opened his mouth.
"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."
Raven then muttered with a sorry tone and voice.
Swoosh-
Bam-!
Raven's last words destroyed the small patience that was left within Pete!
So Pete threw a fast punch toward Raven's mouth!
His right hand that he used for punching was covered with dense light blue mana and it's ranging like a fire!
A powerful air forces was launch from his fist after he extended his arm, indicating how strong the punch is!
"Lol"
Though, his punch only met air.
Raven is tilting his head to the left while looking at Pete in the eyes with a wolfish grin.
"Bad move professor."
Raven then said in a playful and provocative tone.
