Shing-
"Are you guys alright?!"
I immediately put [Emmeranne] back in its scabbard, I did it smoothly as if I was just putting my hand inside my pocket.
'Must be an effect of the [Compatibility] thing...'
I concluded right at the bat before approaching Keara and the others.
"We're fine."
Keara replied with a smile.
Then I looked at Ruby and Levina who are beside her.
"We're fine as well."
Ruby said with a smile too, and Levina nodded her head as an agreement.
"How about you? Are you okay?"
Then Keara asked me worriedly with Levina and Ruby looking at me too.
A complicated expression appeared on my face as their response is too considerate on my side.
"Oh come on, do you really think that you can inflict a serious damage to us?"
It was then that Levina asked me sarcastically.
"You still have a long way to go for that to happen."
Ruby followed with a smirk.
"And we all know it's an accident, right?"
She added.
After some few seconds of silence, I nodded my head with a relieved sigh.
"Yes, it was all an accident."
I muttered.
"But It didn't change the fact that what I did attacked you guys, sorry..."
Then I mumbled.
"It's fine."
"Yeah, I don't really mind."
Ruby and Levina said casually after my words.
Then looking straight at the 3 women again, Keara is still looking at me.
"Are you okay?"
She asked again.
A small smile appeared on my face, then I opened my mouth.
"I'm fine as hell."
***
After the short but pretty chaotic incident of Raven being the owner of the [Emmeranne].
Raven, Keara, Ruby, and even Levina started cleaning Raven's room as it was messy as hell.
So in the end, Raven wasn't able to tell the others about the abilities of the [Emmeranne].
And when Ruby asked about it, Raven just smiled mischievously before answering:
"You'll see when I use it in the assessment test."
Raven's tone and voice were teasing, but also confident.
Though Ruby wants to really know about it, she stopped asking about the [Emmeranne] and instead looked forward to the upcoming assessment test.
'Let's see what you will show the world this time...'
Ruby thought to herself as she cleans Raven's room with the others.
***
Saturday, <10:00 A.M> of June 27, 2080.
The day of the assessment test.
Assessment test will be held for 2 days; today and tomorrow.
And it will only be for freshmen. But other grade levels, teachers, staffs, and other important people are going to spectate this said test to find a potential talent!
And currently, Raven is inside his room that is now clean again, though, there are still marks on the walls, floor, and etc.
Anyway, even though today is the assessment test and most student are nervous.
Raven is just calmly resting his back against the soft cushion of the sofa inside his room.
Ruby will be spectating the test with the other VIP spectators, Keara and Levina are obviously with her too.
On the other hand, Yuki is resting inside the [Ring of Gluttony].
So Raven is alone, at least physically.
[Are you confident that you will pass the written test?]
The system appeared, asking Raven.
Raven shrugged his shoulders before answering.
"I'm confident that I will not fail."
He said, his voice when he said that had an unwavering confidence.
"But I plan to perfect the test..."
Raven then casually added.
[Can you do it?]
The system asked.
"Of course."
And Raven immediately answered.
"But I need a backup plan, just in case as not everything can go according to my will..."
Raven added as he became a bit serious.
[Then, what's your backup plan?]
Raven looked at the system, then with a sly smile, he pointed at the system.
"You."
He stated.
[What the fuck are you talking about?]
After hearing that question, Raven opened his mouth and started talking again.
"You see, Ruby have a great information team that gathers information for her."
Raven said, his words are far from the subject.
But before the system can point that out, Raven continued.
"I want something like that too."
He muttered.
"But I can't take people under my wing yet."
Then Raven looked straight at the system.
"That's when I thought, 'what if I give that job to the system?'"
Raven was smiling mischievously and the system started to have a bad feeling about what's gonna happen next.
"How many CP do I have?"
Raven asked.
[Shit...]
The system cursed first before answering.
[5855 CP.]
After that, Raven immediately opened his mouth.
"I request to the system shop for you, [The System], to have the same function as the <Versatile Device>."
Raven exclaimed.
[I fucking knew it...]
The system mumbled before processing Raven's request.
[Request sent to the Higher Beings... Your request got approved.]
The system announced unenthusiastically.
Raven let out a wider smile.
"Now, I can just ask you anything telepathically and you can search it through the internet and give me the answer."
Raven stated.
[Yeah yeah, your wish is my command...]
The system casually stated as it knows arguing with Raven is just a massive waste of time and energy.
"Hm... Now that you finally have that ability and you're basically my guide..."
Raven smirked and winked at the system.
"I can finally give you the name that I have in mind for quite a while now."
Raven said.
[What are you talking about?]
The system asked confused.
"From now on, you are Sariel."
But Raven just continued, ignoring the system's question.
[Sariel...?]
The system, no... Sariel muttered.
Raven just nodded his head as a reply.
After the Higher Being updated(?) Sariel(The System); Raven noticed that its voice got more manlier.
So Raven concluded that the system is a male.
Raven is also getting uncomfortable in just calling the system, 'System', as in Raven's eyes, the system is someone living like a human.
So Raven decided to name the system.
Sariel, the name Raven chose for the system is the name of the Angel of Guidance.
Raven immediately remembered the time he used the system as a GPS after hearing the word guidance.
But he can't just name the system Sariel just because of that, so that's why he forced the system to have an access to the internet and be his guide.
For that reasons, he can finally name the system Sariel!
"Hmm, I have nothing else to do..."
Raven mumbled and looked at the transparent window floating beside him.
[...]
It wasn't projecting anything.
Raven then faced straight forward and opened the classroom's door.
Swoosh-
Click-
Then without looking back...
"I'm gonna count on you more from now on, Sariel."
Raven declared and entered the classroom.
[...Do as you like, I don't care anymore.]
The sy... I mean, Sariel replied after few seconds of silence.
After hearing and seeing his(Sariel/System) reply, Raven smiled a little.
'Tsundere.'
Is what's inside Raven's mind, he's blocking Sariel's mind reading ability so he didn't know what Raven is thinking.
***
"Ducklings can engage in cannibalistic behaviors when they're bored."
Blake stated.
"Who the fuck starts a conversation like that?! I literally just sat down!"
And Raven exclaimed.
He just arrived when Blake decided to spout random disturbing facts.
Alec is just looking at Raven and Blake with an awkward smile.
Adelle is secretly laughing at Raven's reaction.
Eve and Aoi are looking at Blake with a frown like Raven.
And Curtis doesn't really care.
Swoosh-
Click-
Though, that situation didn't last long as Kendy entered the classroom, making everyone silence.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Kendy's footsteps echoed across the silent room as he headed toward the stage platform in front.
Bam-!
Then he aggressively placed a tall stack of what appeared to be test papers on a desk in front of the classroom.
"Dungeons, monsters, beasts, artifacts, demons, otherworlders, and other shits."
Kendy mumbled in an annoyed voice.
"Those are all the subjects you will be encountering in today's written test."
Kendy added, then he lightly waved his right hand.
Swooosh–
And all of the test papers he brought flew in the air one by one and landed in front of the students.
"And I will be watching all of you."
Kendy declared threateningly.
""Woah...""
But no one got scared of Kendy.
Genuine admiration came from the students because of the trick he just did.
Who wouldn't? Kendy just used his mana and not magic nor skill to do that.
And to perform something like that, one needs to have a great mana control.
'It's similar to my <Psychokinesis>...'
Raven thought after seeing what Kendy did.
'I should seek for his help later about that skill of mine.'
Flip-
Raven noted to himself as he checked the test papers.
Then a deep frown appeared on his face.
[Is something wrong?]
Sariel asked.
'Nothing.'
Raven answered in his head.
[Then what's with the frown?]
After a short silent.
'It's just that I wouldn't be able to use your new feature...'
Raven replied, not hiding his disappointment.
[What?]
The system asked, confused.
"These questions... I can answer all of them with ease."
Raven confidently stated as he started answering the questions in the test papers.
***
The written test will be done within 5 straight hours.
But Raven finished answering all of the questions in an hour!
And he didn't wait for the others as he immediately submitted his answers so he can use the 4 remaining hours to train.
That action of his made the others, including Kendy, Alec, Blake, Adelle, Aoi, Curtis, and even Eve to suspect that Raven didn't took the test seriously.
That is until tomorrow arrived, and the written test ranking was displayed.
