"Are you sure you guys are fine?"
Ravens asked in a worried voice, a hologram is coming out from his V.D and it's projecting a similar bluish window that the system uses.
And currently, Raven is having a video call with his parents and Nisha.
-We're fine, we didn't even break a sweat um... Throwing those trashes away.
Elaine replied on the other side of the call, she's using words carefully so Nisha wouldn't be able to catch on what they're talking about.
Raven called them as he's worried about them if they are hurt.
So there's no point for Alfred and Elaine hiding the fact that they were indeed visited by assasins.
So Elaine and Alfred are instead trying to reassure Raven that there's nothing to be worried about.
Though, it doesn't look like it's working as Raven is still looking at them with a sorry expression.
Elaine and Alfred are happy that their son is worried about them but at the same time, they doesn't want to make him worry.
-How about you, are you okay there? And what the hell happened to your face?
It was then, Alfred asked Raven a question he's been curious about since a minute earlier when the conversation started.
Raven's appearance actually threw them off guard and Nisha is still silently and blankly looking at her brother's face.
Raven nodded his head and opened his mouth.
"I'm fine, nothing major happened. I just came back, there's no way I'll cause a mess in just a day."
Raven then lied through his teeth casually.
Well, it didn't work seeing that his parents are looking at him with disbelief.
"Anyway, the reason that my appearance changed is..."
Being affected by the piercing and intense gazes of his parents, Raven changed the topic.
He actually predicted that his parents will naturally question him about his appearance, so he decided to tell a lie 1st and be honest next.
It's like a carrot and stick strategy, in this way, he can still keep some of his secrets.
Body reconstruction might be impossible and weird for humans to go through, but Raven decided to tell his parents about it anyway as he couldn't see his family as something 'normal'.
They know about his past memories, so why not tell them about the body reconstruction too?
He wouldn't be able to hide it anyway.
But he decided to keep the system's existence a secret.
...
-Hmm, I see.
-Well, it's much easier to take in when you said you regained your memories from your past life.
Alfred and Elaine respectively said.
Like before, they recieved Raven's surprising words in a cool manner.
Raven still think it's weird that they're accepting all what he said calmly.
But because the situation is on his favor, Raven didn't bother too much about it.
***
Raven ended his conversation with his family after the time reached <6:30 A.M>.
Nisha didn't talk to him that much as she's currently pouting about Raven leaving while she was sleeping.
That made Raven a bit down.
Anyway, he ordered bigger clothes for him online yesterday and he already recieved them all earlier.
Of course he was provided new size uniforms by the academy, but not for free.
"Fucking academy, asking 5000 Zeals for each set of uniforms."
Raven grumbled, he has the money but he hates spending.
But Raven couldn't do anything about it and he doesn't want to waste time.
So he started his daily training.
...
When it's already <10:25 A.M> Raven finished his training and took a short bath.
Then he started heading to his classroom.
***
[Raven's POV]
Tap. Tap. Tap.
The sound of my footsteps can be clearly heard as the surrounding is silent.
But it's not like that there are no people around.
It's just that they aren't talking nor even making a noise.
'What's with this uncomfortable silence everywhere I go?'
I asked inwardly as I haven't heard that much sound from others ever since I woke up today.
Levina is with Ruby and Keara as she's using Ruby's stronger presence for hiding her presence that's a bit weaker.
Even if someone did sense Levina, if she's with Ruby, then Ruby can just say that it's her artifact.
Nobody will believe me if I said something like that as I'm a student with no background so this is the plan we came up with.
While Keara is doing her work with them.
-Kyuu!
Fortunately, I'm not alone as Yuki is on top of my head, using my hair like her nest.
"Fucking hell..."
But it's still uncomfortable as fuck as I sense countless of gazes aimed at me.
But in the end, I just shrugged them off.
'They must be in Sean's group and they are observing me...'
'If you guys want a piece of me, then come at me, I'll deal with any of you anytime.'
I thought as I continued to to walk toward my classroom.
(The others are just looking at Raven because they're admiring his new appearance, especially the girls. Raven just didn't consider it as he thought he's being hated by the whole school.)
***
"Oh, you're here, Raven."
Blake muttered and waved at Raven as soon as Raven entered the room.
Of course the room went silent and all the eyes shot toward Raven.
They didn't get to appreciate Raven's appearance yesterday because of the intense incident with Pete.
But now, they totally paid attention to Raven's new look!
His brushed up shiny and smooth black hair.
Raven just finished taking a bath so his hair is still wet, also, rose scented smell was coming from Raven!
Raven is wearing the black long sleeves polo type of the academy uniform and a black suit trouser.
And that proper and formal attire is making Raven look elegance.
Though, Raven just wore those because they're black, making it hard to see stains in case a they stick on them.
Raven is frowning like usual, but it didn't hide his beautiful face as his sharp eyes are giving a mean and hot look.
Making the girls blush and the boys envious.
"Wow, he's really handsome and hot as fuck."
Adelle mumbled as she observes Raven too.
"Stop being delusional Adelle."
Eve then said to her with a disgusted expression. Aoi is looking at Adelle like she have a loose screws in her head.
"You all look at me like that but you both know it's true."
Adelle then replied and shrugged, Eve and Aoi frowned but can't refute Adelle's words.
Blake and Alec just waited for Raven to come to them, though, they have their ears perked and is gossiping at almost all of the conversations that are happening in the room.
And most of the topic of the conversations is Raven!
And on the other hand, Curtis is frowning really hard as Raven steps closer and closer toward them.
"That fucking bastard must be an incubus..."
Curtis mumbled to himself.
Meanwhile, Raven didn't pay attention to the gazes and just went to his seat silently.
"You're not gonna hide your real appearance anymore?"
And Alec asked him a question as soon as he sat down.
Raven thought of false reasons for some seconds before answering.
"It was already revealed anyway so there's no point anymore, and I'm not really great at pretending."
Raven stated.
Alec nodded, believing Raven's words.
Alec remembered how Raven couldn't even hide his strength on the 1st day of academy because he got pissed by 4 students.
Alec just asked his question because he's curious at the artifact Raven used to change his appearance.
'I couldn't sense the it at all... The artifact he used."
Alec thought as his curiosity toward Raven got stronger.
"Anyway, what did you do yesterday?"
Blake then asked Raven.
Raven casually opened his mouth and waved his hand.
"I sued Professor Pete for breaking my artifact and for picking a fight to me, a student. So he paid me 5 Million Zeals for it."
Raven's words made Alec, Eve, Aoi, Adelle, Curtis, and Blake frowned.
They all know Pete initiated the fight yesterday, but Raven just won that fight, and he even gained a lot from it.
'He's a fucking schemer!'
Everyone thought.
Not that Raven mind it as he plays with Yuki by making her do tricks.
