[Raven's POV]
[Damn, you really went and declared war with them early in the morning...]
Sariel appeared in the air and told me.
"Well, that's just to spice things up for the show that I'm about to give everyone."
I then replied.
It's already <10:00 A.M> and the 2nd day of exam will start in 30 minutes.
I'm currently heading to where the 2nd exam will take place.
[Anyway, are you sure about your plan?]
Sariel asked me.
I glanced at the transparent window floating beside me before opening my mouth.
"I'm at least confident that everything will fine... Well, I'm pretty nervous as there's nothing certain about the future."
I answered.
[Right, you will be fine. Probably.]
Sariel then stated.
"Hm, thanks."
And I replied with a small nod and a smile.
After a small talk with Sariel, I walked faster to arrive earlier to the test area.
***
It didn't take long for Raven to arrive in the place where the test will be held.
The place is just a big spacious room with white walls, ceiling and floor.
There's a spectator area near the entrance of the room where some students, staffs, teachers, and other else observes.
And at the very middle of the room, there's a big green portal!
There are 2 sections of freshmen in the said room, excluding the spectators.
The sections are [CLASS A-1] and [CLASS B-1].
[CLASS A-1] is on the right side of the room, while [Class B-1] is on the left side.
Raven is in the [CLASS A-1], and currently, he's looking at someone from the opposing class.
It was Sean Dixon that is in the [CLASS B-1], and he was glaring daggers at Raven!
Not that Raven give a shit as he raised his middle finger toward Sean with a pure bright smile.
Sean of course got angry, but he couldn't do anything hasty, so he just turned away from Raven.
"Gay!"
But then Raven exclaimed.
Everyone's eyes turned to Raven.
Swoosh-
But then Raven suddenly mixed in with the [CLASS A-1] and his presence became hard to sense!
So there's not many who really saw him shout!
'That bastard...'
Sean angrily thought as he clenched his hands into fists and scanned the area to find Raven.
Though, he recieved no luck as he couldn't spot where the hell is Raven.
'I'm gonna kill him if I find him...'
Sean thought as he continued to search around.
Meanwhile, Raven is continuously walking or slipping through across the whole [CLASS A-1] while avoiding as many gazes as possible.
Which is a difficult task because of his appearance.
Swoosh-
Click-
It was then, Kendy and another person came in the room.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Their footsteps are audible and their presence came strong!
Not that Raven mind as he is still avoiding some gazes.
Soon, Kendy and the other person reached and stood beside the huge green portal that is in the center of the room.
"Ehem..."
With a fake cough, Kendy gathered all the attentions in the room to him.
And after a satisfied nod, Kendy opened his mouth.
"I hate beating around the bush... You all are here to fight to death."
Then he declared with a casual expression and voice.
And even though Kendy's announcement was something scary and unbelievable.
There's not much change from the expressions of the students inside the room.
Especially Raven who already know everything inside of the room.
Especially the portal...
"You need to explain more than that..."
Then, the person who entered with Kendy spoke, he's looked at Kendy with a small frown and he shook his head.
"Let me take over."
He said to Kendy.
"Sure, I don't want to do this shit anyway."
And Kendy casually replied as he stepped back.
Then the person Kendy came with, stepped forward with a charming polite smile, then he spoke.
"Hello everyone, my name is Luke Arya, the homeroom professor of the [CLASS B-1]."
He introduced himself.
He's a handsome man with a well built body, green eyes and short brown hair.
"All of you are here for the combat test."
Luke then started explaining.
"And the test will be held inside this portal dungeon, [The Celestial Dimension]."
Luke stated as he took a small glance behind him where a green portal is gracefully emitting dense mana.
"This dungeon is, what do we call it..."
Luke then started to think of what he wants to say before continuing.
"Yeah, this dungeon is one and only... It's a dungeon that wasn't produced naturally after all."
Luke's words then made a small confusion to appear on students' faces, even Alec and the other main characters are included.
Though, Raven still didn't show any change in his face.
"If you're confuse, then let me tell you a not so secret amazing fact."
Luke said as a smirk appeared on his face.
"This dungeon behind me, was made by the strongest hero of all time."
Luke teasingly said as most of the students showed a surprise expression as small gasps echoed through the room.
"The Protector, Raziel Winfred."
Luke then declared the person in subject of everyone's excitement.
'He's already dead tho...'
Raven thought to himself with a bored face.
"Sir Raziel is magic swordsman, he was also said to be sent by the gods to protect the humanity against demons."
"He was one of the 1st generation awakeners 120 years ago. Also Sir Raziel was the one who united the awakeners that time to form an organization and protect the humanity."
Luke explained even further.
"And [The Celestial Dimension] behind me was made by Sir Raziel's skills and with some help of artifacts he personally collected and some of his trusted comrades."
Luke then got back about the portal behind him.
"Let me tell you one thing that makes this portal extremely incredible."
Luke looked at the students with serious eyes, making the whisperings across the room to silent up.
Then, he opened his mouth.
"Death... Doesn't exist inside this dimension."
Luke declared.
"You will feel pain, you will feel emotions, you will be able to move, you will be able to think, you can do anything. But you wouldn't die inside this dimension."
"You all will fight with everything you have and possess inside this dimension. You might think that it's too intense, but death is normal if you're a hero."
Luke muttered, his warm and polite appearance just a while ago disappeared and was changed into seriousness.
"This dungeon is the reason why <Lunar Academy> produces the best heroes... So if you're afraid of dying. Then you chose the wrong career to pursue."
Luke declared as some of the students started having second doubts about their choice on pursuing being a hero.

[Drei05]: So... I noticed that I skipped a chapter of [Raven's Past], so I edited and added it to the chapter 42.
It's not that important chap considering that nobody really noticed, but the description about Nisha and Raven's parents are there.
