CHAPTER 105: 105 - FINISHING WHAT I STARTED [1]

Raven led Blake and the others inside his new dorm, then they all went into the lounge.

"Do you guys want drinks?"

Raven asked as soon as the others sat down.

"What are my options?"

Curtis asked him.

"Yes or no."

And Raven casually replied with that.

"This motherfucker..."

Of course Curtis got pissed.

Though, Raven already predicted it, so he immediately left and went to the kitchen to make drinks for his friends(?).

Raven tried to make the drinks as fast as possible, because he thought that leaving his guests unattended for long would be rude.

Though, even when he was being hasty, he still made sure that the drinks would turn out good.

After making the drinks, Raven immediately delivered them to the others.

Fortunately, Curtis was back to his calm self at that time because of Eve.

"Here, iced coffees."

Raven said and served the them on the table that was being surrounded by three sofas where Alec and the others were sitting.

’In the novel, they all like iced coffee... Because I like them too.’

’I’m not sure about Blake, but seeing his excited face, it seems like he’s the same... Or at least he doesn’t dislike it.’

Raven thought to himself.

"Anyway, why are you guys here?"

Then he asked them again.

"Nothing, we just want to visit you in your new place."

Alec replied.

"I just came with them."

Eve followed while taking an iced coffee for herself.

"Well... Kinda curious about how you are doing."

Aoi said and took an iced coffee too.

"Blake and I are just bored."

"Yeah."

Adelle stated and Blake added, they already had iced coffees in their hands.

"I came because of Eve..."

Curtis followed.

"Duh, everyone here knows that already."

And Raven immediately responded.

Though, unlike normal, Curtis didn’t get angry.

Why?

It was because he was holding an iced coffee and didn’t want to spill it.

"Ugh, shut up that stupid mouth of yours."

Curtis replied, then he took a sip from the drink in his hand.

And seeing his reaction—

"Boring..."

Raven mumbled, he was trying to rage bait him.

"Anyway, earlier... Why did you do that?"

It was then, Alec asked him.

’He must mean the announcement thing...’

Raven concluded in his head before opening his mouth.

"Nothing, I just wanted to greet the people I’m gonna be staying with in the same dormitory."

He said with a casual shrug.

"You know they might target you because of that, right?"

Alec worriedly asked Raven.

Raven just took an iced coffee for himself and drank a little from it before putting it back down again.

He then looked at Alec, and with a smirk—

"Then let them come at me."

Raven said that.

"I’ll take them on anytime."

He added.

"And bring them down under my feet."

Then he declared!

His words made everyone silent.

They stopped drinking their iced coffees.

And they all looked at Raven with weird expressions on their faces.

Raven doesn’t like dealing with extras, but it’s a different matter to him if they’re strong.

He’s slowly starting to enjoy fighting stronger people!

Why?

Because he’s craving for more power!

And Raven noticed that every time he fights someone strong, he gets stronger.

And the excitement he feels when fighting...

’It was awesome...’

Raven thought.

Thump-

His heart started pounding faster just because of the thought of him fighting someone strong!

"You’re really insane..."

Curtis said to Raven, breaking the silence.

"So what? I don’t start fights, I just always fight back."

Raven replied.

[But mostly, you provoke them first...]

’Shut up Sariel.’

"Whatever, I don’t care what happens to you."

Eve mumbled to herself and started drinking iced coffee again.

"You sure are odd..."

Aoi whispered before taking a sip of her iced coffee.

"Well, good luck to you Raven!"

Adelle exclaimed with a smile.

"You can do it!"

And Blake followed with words of encouragement.

"Well, just don’t do something too dangerous and get hurt."

Then Alec worriedly muttered to Raven.

After that, all of them just had small talks... until Alec and the others left.

And even though no one voiced it out...

They felt relaxed after a long while because of their small gathering.

...

But that relaxation didn’t last long for Blake, Alec, and the other main characters.

Raven’s words earlier made them restless for some reason.

And their minds were constantly telling them to train!

Even after being separated from the others, Blake and the others were thinking the same thing.

’I don’t want to lose against Raven.’

Was what was in their minds...

(Raven’s POV)

"Wow, your room looks nice!"

Keara exclaimed as soon as she entered my new room.

"The headmaster is treating you nicely, huh..."

Then Ruby followed with a smirk.

"Yeah... Though, I’m getting a bad feeling for some reason."

I replied to her.

"What, why?"

"Nothing..."

’It’s just that that old man is probably planning on using me for something, that’s why he’s treating me like this...!’

I thought.

Ruby and Keara arrived not long after Blake and the others left.

I opened the door for them since they still don’t have access to my new room.

-Ruby, Keara!

-Kyuu!

It was then, Yuki and Levina came out of that one room they stayed in, and they flew around Keara and Ruby.

"How are you guys?"

Ruby asked the two with a smile on her face.

-Kyu!

-Fine!

Which Yuki and Levina replied positively.

"What were you guys doing just now?"

Then Keara asked them.

-We were playing!

-Kyuu!

The two happily responded.

-Actually, come, we’ll show you guys!

-Kyu!

Before Ruby or Keara could even reply, Levina and Yuki had already flown back to the room they were in earlier.

They looked excited.

Ruby and Keara looked at me. They looked curious as hell.

"Go join them, I’ll cook in the meantime."

"Thanks Raven."

"Call us if you need help."

Ruby and Keara said, then they followed after Levina and Yuki.

And me, I started cooking just like I said.

July 1, 2080, Wednesday.

[10:00 AM]

...

(Sean’s POV)

"THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

I exclaimed from the top of my lungs.

After the combat test, my life was nothing else but shit!

No one respects me anymore, no one is scared of me anymore!

No one even sells things to me anymore, like food or whatnot!

If there are, they’re selling it to me at a very expensive price!

We don’t even have money anymore because our properties got confiscated by the [Heroes Federation]!

At this rate, me and my family are just waiting for the authorities to come and arrest us!

I’m so angry, and all I want to do is tear apart the one who made things like this for me.

"Raven Obadiah..."

Just remembering what he did to me makes my body tremble, and that’s because of two reasons: fear and anger.

I’m still feeling fear just remembering how Raven tortured me for minutes, but those minutes felt like days to me!

But I’m also angry, because the doctor who healed me after that said that my tentacles aren’t gonna function anymore!

And adding the humiliation I received...

’I can’t do something about my situation...’

Raven is in Lunar, and I got expelled from there, so there’s only a low chance I can meet him again.

Also, my father doesn’t want to just wait and get arrested.

So we’re planning to run away from the human domain and escape to the demon realm...

’I’m gonna get contracted with a demon and become a majin...’

"I’ll get stronger!"

And after that...

"I’ll come back here and destroy everything, especially Raven...!"

Tok- Tok- Tok—

As I was making a promise to myself... Someone knocked on the door of my room.

My family and I are still staying in our house because we have no choice... We’re on house arrest too.

"Who’s there?"

I asked.

I’m pretty wary because while we were staying here, just two days after the test and my fall...

Several people already barged into our house and tried to kill us!

And the federation didn’t do anything about it!

’Unfair bastards...’

I thought.

"It’s me, Ervin."

Then the one on the other side of the door answered.

His voice — it really was Ervin.

Click-

So I opened the door for him.

And saw Ervin’s annoying face.

"Why are you here?"

I asked him while frowning.

’Ervin is a traitor, he’s doing way better than me because Raven didn’t put anything against him in his stupid live stream!’

If not for the fact that he’s still following my words these past two days, I would’ve already killed him.

"I heard you guys are gonna flee to the demon realm."

Ervin said.

"Yeah, so what?"

I replied.

"Are you sure you’re fine with fleeing without getting your revenge on Raven?"

Then... He asked me that.

"You fucker, I’m gonna kill y–!"

"I want to take revenge on Raven."

I was about to punch Ervin, but he spoke even before I could raise my hand.

And his words caught my interest.

"Do you mean it?"

I asked Ervin.

"The humiliation I received from him is making me angry. He used an underhanded method for sure!"

Then, he exclaimed that.

It seems like he’s having a delusion that Raven cheated to beat him!

’This fucker has gone insane... And I like that, what a loser.’

I thought with a mischievous smile on my face.

"Then, do you have a plan?"

I followed with that.

Ervin nodded his head.

"I gathered every member of our group who feels the same..."

"We’re all gonna meet tonight, and we want you to lead us again."

Then he declared that with a resolute voice.

"...!"

His words surprised me... It made me happy, so with a smile on my face—

"I’ll lead you guys again. Let’s all meet tonight!"

I happily exclaimed that.
