RE: The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 78 - Raven The Villain [1]

"Are you sure you guys are fine?"

Raven asked in a worried voice. A hologram was coming out from his V.D, projecting a similar bluish window that the system uses.

And currently, he was 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 from the other side of the call. She was choosing her words carefully so Nisha wouldn’t catch on to what they were talking about.

Raven called them because he was worried if they were hurt.

So there was no point for Alfred and Elaine to hide the fact that they were indeed visited by assassins.

Instead, Elaine and Alfred were trying to reassure him that there was nothing to be worried about.

Though, it didn’t look like it was working, as Raven was still looking at them with a sorry expression.

Elaine and Alfred were happy that their son was concerned about their well beings, but at the same time, they didn’t want to make him worry.

—How about you? Are you okay there? And what the hell happened to your face?

It was then that Alfred asked Raven the question he’d been curious about since a minute earlier when the conversation started. freewebnσvel.cøm

Raven’s appearance actually threw them off guard, and Nisha was 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’d cause a mess in just a day."

Raven then lied through his teeth casually.

Well, it didn’t work, seeing that his parents were 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 would naturally question him about his appearance, so he decided to tell a lie first and be honest next.

It’s like a carrot-and-stick strategy—in this way, he could 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, that is much easier to take in than when you said you regained your memories from your past life.

Alfred and Elaine respectively said.

Like before, they received Raven’s surprising words in a calm and cool manner.

Raven still thought it was weird how they accepted everything he said so easily.

But since the situation was in his favor, he didn’t bother too much about it.

And with that, he just started talking with them casually. A smile plastered on his face.

*****

Raven ended his conversation with his family by the time reached [6:30 AM].

Nisha didn’t talk to him that much, as she was still pouting about the fact Raven left while she was sleeping.

That made Raven a bit down.

Anyway, he ordered bigger clothes for himself online yesterday, and he already received them all earlier.

Of course, he was provided new-sized uniforms by the academy—but not for free.

"Fucking academy, asking 5000 Zeals for each set of uniforms."

Raven grumbled. He had the money, but he hated spending.

But he couldn’t do anything about it.

Anyway, not wanting to waste any more time.

Raven started with his daily training.

...

...

...

When it was already [10:25 AM], Raven finished his training and took a short bath back at his dorm.

Then he started heading to his classroom.

(Raven’s POV)

Tap- Tap- Tap—

The sound of my footsteps could be clearly heard as the surroundings were silent.

But it’s not like there were no people around.

It’s just that they weren’t talking or even making a noise.

’What’s with this uncomfortable silence everywhere I go?’

I asked inwardly, as I hadn’t heard much from others ever since I woke up today.

Levina is with Ruby and Keara, using Ruby’s stronger presence to hide her own, which is a bit weaker.

Even if someone did sense Levina—if she’s with Ruby, then Ruby could just say it’s her artifact or something.

Nobody would 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 to hide Levina’s existence.

While Keara is doing her work with them. Being protected by the two.

-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 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, then I continued 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 he entered the room.

Of course, the room went silent, and all 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 his new look!

His brushed-up, shiny, and smooth black hair.

Raven just finished taking a bath, so his hair was still wet. Also, a rose-scented smell was coming from him!

Raven was wearing the black long-sleeved polo-type academy uniform and black suit trousers.

And that proper and formal attire was making him look elegant.

Though, Raven just wore those because they’re black, making it hard to see stains in case they stick on them.

Raven was frowning like usual, but it didn’t hide his beautiful face, as his sharp eyes were 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 observed Raven too.

"Stop being delusional, Adelle."

Eve then said to her with a disgusted expression. Aoi was looking at Adelle like she had a few 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 couldn’t refute her words.

Anyway...

Blake and Alec just waited for Raven to come to them. Though, they had their ears perked and were gossiping about almost all of the conversations happening in the room.

And most of the topics in those conversations? Raven.

On the other hand, Curtis was frowning really hard as Raven stepped closer and closer toward them.

"That fucking bastard must be an incubus..."

He 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?"

Alec asked him as soon as he sat down.

Raven thought of fake reasonings for a few seconds... Before opening his mouth and answering.

"It was already revealed anyway, so there’s no point anymore. And I’m not really great at pretending."

He stated.

Alec nodded, believing Raven’s words.

He remembered how Raven couldn’t even hide his strength on the first day of the academy because he got pissed by four students.

Alec just asked his question because he was curious about the artifact Raven used to change his appearance.

’I couldn’t sense it at all... the artifact, I mean.’

He thought as his curiosity toward Raven grew stronger.

"Anyway, what did you do yesterday?"

Blake then asked suddenly.

Raven casually opened his mouth and waved his hand.

"I sued Professor Pete for breaking my artifact and for picking a fight with me—a student. So he paid me 5 million Zeals for it."

Raven’s words made Alec, Eve, Aoi, Adelle, Curtis, and Blake frown.

They all knew Pete initiated the fight yesterday.

But Raven didn’t just win that fight—he even gained a lot from it.

’He’s a fucking schemer!’

Everyone thought.

Not that Raven minded it. He’s just playing with Yuki, making her do tricks.
