'Good luck.'
Alec, Blake, Curtis, Eve, Adelle, and Aoi, they couldn't forget Raven's words.
His smirk as he mounted those words to them, it was imprinted in their minds.
"That bitch..."
Curtis mumbled in an annoyed tone, he just calmed down.
"I'll show you that I can do better."
Curtis added. And the others just silently agreed to him.
Raven's prowess, abilities, and skills, all of them are amazing and surprising to Curtis and the others.
Even Raven's brutality and the fact that he revealed Sean's and his group's crimes to the world.
But because of the provocation they recieved from Raven.
Eve and the others forgot about them and only focused on finishing the test much faster than Raven.
The test isn't even starting yet!
And after 30 minutes of waiting... Because someone just caused a huge mess.
[There was umm... A very big scene in the first set, but we already fixed all the issues.]
(Not really)
[Please all of the participant of <SET 2>, get ready to enter the portal.]
Luke finally announced the start of the 2nd set of the test.
Alec and the others were waiting for that moment.
So with determined faces, they all started to prepare for the match.
"I don't care what you guys want to do, but I'm gonna finish the test as soon as I can."
Eve declared.
"I'll follow and protect you."
Curtis shamelessly replied.
"I don't have a plan to prolong the fight at all."
And Aoi followed.
"I have the same idea."
"I would attack them as soon as I see them."
Blake and Adelle consecutively replied.
And lastly...
"I feel quite sorry for our opponents."
"But I'm with you guys."
Alec stated.
For the first time, the group who have different personalities, agreed on one thing.
...
The test started not long after that, and Alec and the others produced a result that no other student or student group in Lunar could ever achieve.

June 29, 2080
Monday, 6:00 A.M.
Raven woke up and recieved a shocking news.
He was currently reading the texts he recieved from Ruby.
=====
[Ruby]: Have a sweet dream <3
---(5:49 A.M)---
[Ruby]: Good morning :3
[Ruby]: At the <SET B> combat test, [CLASS A-1] overwhelmingly won. And the test only lasted for 19 minutes and 23 seconds.
[Ruby]: Alec, Curtis, Adelle, Blake, Eve, and Aoi, all six of them destroyed their opponents in minutes. What took them long is finding the enemy's base.
=====
"What the fuck..."
Raven unconsciously cursed after hearing the test outcome of Alec and the others.
"Originally, they would at least take 30 minutes to finish the test."
Raven mumbled.
The test result of the main characters was so different than the story!
'I know their enemies changed but still...'
In the novel, Alec and the others were supposed to fight against Sean and his group in the test.
But because Raven changed that, he knows that the main characters' test result would change and their time would definitely be much faster.
'But the time difference is just absurd...'
Raven thought as he replied to Ruby's texts.
=====
[Raven]: I was already sleeping last night so I wasn't able to reply -,-
[Raven]: Anyway, good morning :)
[Raven]: Alec and the others did better than I expected, but why are you telling me this?
=====
Ping-
And not long, he recieved a reply from Ruby.
=====
[Ruby]: It's fine, you must be really exhausted :>
[Ruby]: Anyway, I told you because Eve and the others approached me yesterday after their test and requested me to tell you their test result.
And I just accepted because there's no harm in doing so and it's an easy favor.
=====
"Eve and the others told her to...?"
Raven mumbled.
[Looks like they were greatly provoked by you.]
And Sariel appeared and told him.
[And why the fuck are you guys flirting between your texts?]
Sariel added.
"We're just greeting each other."
Raven casually replied as he stood up from his bed.
Then he opened his mouth again.
"So they were saying that they did better than me huh..."
Raven whispered to himself as he started washing his face.
'What a bunch of funny people.'
He thought with a small smile on his face.
But deep inside, he's kinda displeased that the others beat his time with a huge margin.
Tok- Tok-
It was then, Raven heard someone knocking on his door.
"Who the fuck is it?"
Raven asked with a frown.
"..."
But he recieved no answer.
Tok- Tok-
Instead, they knocked again.
"Fucking hell..."
Raven mumbled as he scratched his head in annoyance.
Tok- Tok-
"Coming!"
And so, Raven approched the door.
Arriving in front of it, Raven grabbed the handle and immediately opened the door.
Swiish-
Bam-
"Who the fu–"
"You're homeroom teacher."
Raven was about to rudely ask who's there.
When a familiar voice cut his words and immediately answered his question.
It was Kendy.
"..."
Raven silently stared at Kendy as he remembered his rude behavior just now.
Kendy was looking down at Raven with cold eyes.
After a while, Raven opened his mouth...
"Is there anything you need Sir?"
And decided to just casually ask Kendy, ignoring his earlier words and Kendy's threatening glare.
"..."
Kendy didn't answer and just continued looking at Raven.
But Raven didn't say anything else and just did the same.
He didn't even apologized.
"Haaa..."
So in the end, Kendy just decided to let it go as he shook his head and sigh.
"Come with me."
Then he ordered to Raven.
"Why?"
Raven asked.
Then with a mischievous smirk that made Raven flinch.
"The headmaster is looking for you."
Kendy replied with a threatening tone, he's trying to scare Raven.
"Oh, sure."
"Wait."
But contrary to Kendy's expectation, Raven just took his words calmly.
Raven went back inside his dorm, and came back just seconds after.
"Lead the way."
Then he said.
Raven came back wearing a gray hoodie jacket and a formal black trouser.
He's already set to go.
Raven looks simple, but already presentable even with just that.
"...Let's go."
So with that, Kendy and Raven headed to the headmaster's office.
