=====

The ranking of the written test scores was displayed using a huge holographic transparent window in the very middle of the academy.

It was so huge that you can see it wherever you are in the academy!

Of course, Eve, Alec, Curtis, Adelle, Aoi, and Blake could see it as well.

As a matter of fact, they even went to the center, or the plaza that is styled like a park, of the academy just to see it better and clearer.

"Wow, that’s the highest score in the written test that I got my whole life..."

Blake mumbled after seeing his score in the ranking. He’s clearly happy and satisfied with the result he got.

"Heh, looks like I win this time."

Meanwhile, Curtis provocatively said that to Alec.

"Oh come on, you already said that for over ten times now..."

Alec replied, slightly annoyed at Curtis’ smug face.

"Curtis, you’re not the one to talk, heh."

Then with a scoff, Adelle intervened between them.

Her words made Curtis frown, and Alec was pleased to see that.

"You’re literally just one point above me."

Curtis rebutted.

"So? Didn’t change the fact that you’re below me."

But Adelle didn’t take his words seriously, pissing him off ever more.

"Adelle, stop it."

But Aoi stopped her provocations as it would be noisy again if she and Curtis started arguing with each other now.

"Fine, winners should understand how losers feel after an overwhelming defeat after all."

Adelle said, shrugging.

"You–!"

"Shut up."

Curtis was about to shout at her, but Eve cut him midway, and he of course obeyed Eve’s order.

"Adelle, if you’re talking about overwhelming defeat, then all of us are defeated that way."

Then, Eve stated that.

The others frowned after hearing her words, and their eyes went toward a certain individual.

A certain individual who has this calm and bored expression on his face while looking at the ranking result like he already anticipated it.

Raven Obadiah, the 1st in the ranking with Eve.

Raven got a perfect score, so did Eve.

But Raven finished answering all the questions in just an hour, while it took Eve three hours!

Eve’s time was considered overwhelmingly fast, but Raven’s was just incomprehensible!

"He wasn’t even actively paying attention to classes..."

Adelle mumbled in a weak voice.

"Well, he’s always in the library so I already predicted that he’s smart... I just didn’t know he’s at that level."

Aoi added with a weak voice too.

Eve was frowning and she had this weird look in her eyes while looking at Raven.

"Raven is just too amazing, and he probably still has something to show us."

Blake then said. You could feel amazement and respect in his voice when he said that.

"I think so too..."

And Alec agreed to his statement.

"That shit’s name is beside Eve’s..."

While Curtis silently grumbled as he glared at Raven.

It’s not just them. When the written test ranking was released, students—especially freshmen—started gathering to the plaza of the academy just to take a good look at it.

And all of them were surprised to see an unexpected name in the 1st place.

It was also natural that all of their attention was focused on Raven right now.

And while they were looking at him... They saw him shrug his shoulders.

"Hmm, just as expected... First place is the best spot for me."

Then Raven casually said that. Most students heard him, causing weird whisperings about him to be made!

"He’s such a show-off..."

Aoi muttered while looking at Raven.

"Well, it’s Raven."

And Adelle followed with a carefree expression.

"DON’T BE SO SMUG, IT’S OBVIOUS THAT YOU CHEATED!!!"

And not long after their short exchange of words, a student in the crowd yelled that to Raven.

"I knew this was going to happen..."

Adelle mumbled.

"Well, whoever that idiot is... they will regret their words soon."

Eve replied to her.

"We’re already here so might as well watch the entertainment."

Then she added with a rare mischievous smile of hers.

"You should really stop enjoying watching others argue."

Aoi said to Eve.

But Eve just shrugged her shoulders as a response.

"Who doesn’t want to see an idiot spouting bullshits then getting embarrassed in the end?"

She said.

"Well, I’ll watch it anyway."

"Me too, it’s what Eve wants to see after all."

"Haaa..."

Adelle, Curtis, and Aoi responded respectively to her words.

Alec was just laughing awkwardly while Blake didn’t take his eyes off the person who just shouted.

Anyway—

"Yeah, he probably cheated."

"I mean, they said he was at the bottom of the rankings before, so most probably."

"Ugh, what a scumbag."

Whisperings about doubts of Raven cheating in the written test spread across the crowd after that declaration just now.

"..."

Raven turned around to look at the one who shouted that bullshit about him.

Then he saw a girl student— a petite and beautiful one with black eyes and brown hair.

She was smirking as if she just said something incredible.

At that moment, with a calm expression on his face—Raven pointed his index finger at the girl.

Then... He opened his mouth.

"Are you stupid?"

Raven asked the girl.

"Wha...? What did you say?!"

The girl got surprised at his words, then she exclaimed furiously after some seconds.

"I asked you if you’re stupid, are you deaf too?"

But Raven just replied to her sarcastically.

The girl frowned and opened her mouth once again.

"I’m not stupid! It’s just really obvious that you cheated, there’s no way a low rank like you will get a score that high!"

The girl yelled to the point that angry veins appeared on her neck.

"Heh."

Though, Raven smirked and just scoffed at her remarks.

"What’s so funny?"

The girl asked him with a glare on her eyes.

"You said I cheated, right?"

Raven asked back a question of his own as a reply.

"Of course."

And the girl immediately responded back with confidence.

After a short silence in the area, Raven once again spoke.

"Then aren’t I more amazing?"

He stated. The girl frowned in confusion and was about to say something.

But before she could even try to—Raven continued talking.

"Being able to cheat under Professor Kendy’s surveillance and even the academy didn’t figure it out."

"If I really did cheat, don’t I deserve the first place more after not being caught by the so-called best hero academy in the human domain?"

Raven said with a carefree expression and small hand gestures.

"That..."

The girl was surprised at his words. It was... Just strangely too convincing.

Also, she was getting nervous after seeing Raven’s calm attitude like he wasn’t worried at all.

"He’s right..."

"Raven’s words have a point."

"Yeah... Cheating under Professor Kendy’s observation and the academy’s checking system is basically absurd just to even think about."

"So if Raven did really pull that off, then he’s more amazing."

Whisperings like that were heard from the crowd, and almost all of them were agreeing with Raven’s statement.

"Wow, he’s really fucking great at using sophistry."

Adelle mumbled after seeing the students around switch side in a blink of an eye.

"Yeah, his words were fallacious but it sounded so plausible that it makes me agree with him too..."

Aoi muttered as she looked at Raven with a complicated face.

"He’s just a manipulative bitch."

Eve said while looking at Raven.

Then she pointed at the girl that Raven was arguing with.

"While that girl is just a bitch and nothing else... Raven will give her a reality check."

She added.

"Wow, I kinda feel bad for the girl because of this group..."

Alec mumbled secretly under his breath.

"Raven really doesn’t back down in arguments. Do you guys think he already predicted this would happen?"

Then, Blake asked the group.

"Don’t know, don’t care."

Curtis replied.

"It’s possible."

Alec then followed, and the girls nodded their heads, agreeing to his answer.

Anyway, shifting their attention back to the stupid girl...

The group could see her being frustrated as beads of sweat were forming on her forehead.

She was nervous and starting to get a bit red from embarrassment.

Then the group looked at Raven.

Raven, looking at the girl, pointed at her once again.

"Tell Sean that he should’ve come at me personally if he wants revenge."

He said, and the girl’s eyes widened. She flinched after hearing his words.

Then with a sly smile—

"Well, Sean is ranked lower than me in the written test so maybe he’s not just as smart as me to think of that."

Raven provocatively declared that in front of everyone!

"Oh!"

"Woah..."

"Bruhhhhhh..."

Audible surprised gasps were heard after that.

"Grrgh...!"

The girl seemed so angry!

Not that Raven minded, as he just started walking away with a smirk on his face!

"This is fun."

He mumbled to himself.

[You’re such a sadist.]

Then Sariel appeared and said that.
