RE: The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 75 - Bad Move, Professor [3]

(Raven’s POV)

"Oh, that’s right, for you my reason seems unreasonable... Guess you wouldn’t understand me because you don’t have the same face as mine."

I said to the already angry Pete in front of me.

It’s been a while now since I started to provoke him and make him attack me.

And fortunately for me—I just saw a small movement from his right shoulder after my last provocation.

’A right punch.’

I thought as I focused myself.

I’m not just baiting Pete to attack for no reason, I have two. And one of them is to test my new capabilities.

So with that in mind—

’[Thought Acceleration]’

I activated one of my skills—and the world slowed down for me.

Swoosh ~

’That was close...’

I mumbled in my head as I saw Pete’s fist just a few inches away from my mouth now.

But just because I can see it doesn’t mean I can dodge it.

Like the last time, my movements couldn’t keep up with my accelerated thoughts, and I’m moving slowly in my perspective.

So like what I did before in this situation; I circulated all my mana inside and scattered it in every nook of my body.

’I... want to be as fast as electric.’

I thought. And with that, I used one of my electric attribute’s characteristics—terrifying speed.

ZOOSH~

Electric particles erupted all around me, and following that, my body was able to keep up with my fast thoughts, even if just for a bit!

So now that I could move a bit more normally again, I immediately tilted my head to the left.

And not long after that, a fist passed by my left cheek.

That’s just when I deactivated <Thought Acceleration>.

B A M!

FWOOSH~

Then Pete’s fist accelerated and finished the punch in just a fraction of a second.

"Lol." freewebnøvel.coɱ

I muttered in a provocative voice as I successfully evaded Pete’s fist.

"Bad Move, Professor."

I said to him with a mischievous smirk on my face.

*****

With Pete throwing a punch just now at Raven—

"..."

The tension around them just got even worse! And then after that—

SWOOSH—

Pete launched another punch!

’I ALREADY FUCKED UP! I’LL AT LEAST HIT HIM ONCE!!!’

He thought to himself, frowning.

Though Raven already predicted that he would do this. So without even activating his skills—

Fwish~

He evaded the attack by swiftly dashing backwards several meters away from Pete!

Tap-

Then gently landing on the floor and looking at Pete with a calm and collected face—

"You’re being too violent, Sir Pete."

Raven opened his mouth and muttered that as he frowned.

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"

Pete ignored his words, and instead—

Bam!

He dashed toward Raven!

Though midway—

"Huh?"

Pete stopped his approach and frowned.

It’s because in front of Raven... Four figures were standing and looking at him with serious eyes.

"Wow, didn’t know you guys would step forward."

Raven said, he was genuinely slightly shocked to see this.

In front of him were Blake, Alec, Adelle, and Aoi. They were shielding him from Pete.

Pete, of course, stopped not because he couldn’t handle them—it was their backgrounds and achievements that made him hesitate and stop.

"Tch—!"

He clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Anyway, seeing Pete motionless—Adelle looked back at Raven.

"It’s not my style to just watch when a friend is in trouble."

Then she answered to Raven’s statement just now.

Raven was actually surprised at her words. Then he smiled at her and shrugged his shoulders.

"Who said I was in trouble? I could handle myself against him just fine."

He declared confidently.

"Yeah right, stop with your bullshits now."

But Adelle didn’t believe him.

Raven frowned. Though he knew deep inside that with their current rank difference, he could only hold himself up against Pete for about a minute. So she’s not wrong.

That’s a very short amount of time.

Even after considering the fact that Pete is not a combat-oriented awakened... That’s the max he could hold up against him.

’Though, that time is enough.’

Raven inwardly thought, before looking at the door in front of the classroom.

Then immediately at that moment—

Click-

The door opened.

TAP—

And Kendy entered the room.

"Stop."

SWOOSH~

Kendy’s oppressive and authoritative voice spread across the not-so-small rectangular classroom.

And everyone’s eyes then turned toward him.

Raven already knew he was gonna come when Pete launched his first punch.

’After all... Every classroom in the academy has cameras that sends live footage of what’s happening inside the rooms to the Lunar Security System.’

The reason Raven was not scared of confronting Pete in a fight is because he knows a staff member will come and stop him.

"..."

Raven looked at Pete.

Pete was looking at Kendy, his face grew a bit pale, and he seemed angry and frustrated.

Then he looked back at Raven, and when their eyes met—

Raven smirked and opened his mouth.

’You should’ve held it in... your temper, I mean.’

Raven mouthed that.

Pete, of course, got angrier—but now that he’s thinking normally again after being stopped by Kendy, he knew that being further provoked by Raven would not help him in any way.

So with deep breaths, he calmed himself down and averted his eyes away from Raven.

’Tsk, he didn’t bite anymore.’

Raven grumbled inwardly, disappointed.

His gaze then went back to Kendy... And he frowned.

Kendy was looking at him too with a serious and tired look.

Raven just shrugged his shoulders before secretly pointing at Pete.

’He started it.’

He mouthed.

Shaking his head and letting out an exhausted sigh afterward, Kendy opened his mouth.

"Pete, the headmaster is calling for you."

Kendy declared that, looking at Pete with disappointment.

"But..."

Pete tried to refute... Though after seeing that every student and Kendy were looking at him with disappointed eyes—

He just bit his lower lip and clenched his hands tightly as he weakly nodded his head.

"I understand."

Pete answered and started to calmly walk toward Kendy’s side.

Though he looked calm on the outside, he was cursing and killing Raven again and again inside his mind.

Click—

And soon, Pete got out of the room.

Kendy glanced at Raven one last time.

"You should rest. Your nose is bleeding."

He said and left.

Hearing his words, everyone looked at Raven, and then they saw blood dripping from his nose and his eyes seemed tired.

His face was pale. Overall, Raven’s complexion didn’t look that good.

Raven touched his nose and confirmed that there really was blood coming out from it.

"Are you okay?"

Blake approached him and asked in a worried tone.

Soon, Alec, Adelle, and even Aoi followed and looked at Raven with eyes that contained different emotions.

Looking at them, Raven casually waved his hand and smiled.

"I’m fine, I just need a little rest."

He stated, which made the others frown.

"I can use healing magic, let me help you."

Adelle suggested with a determined and concerned voice.

Raven just looked at her for some quite time before nodding his head.

"Please do so, I’d really appreciate it."

He said and stood in front of her.

But before Adelle started, he looked at Blake, Aoi, and Alec.

Then with a little bow...

"Thanks for shielding me against Pete earlier."

He thanked them.

"I just don’t think a professor should be attacking a student, so I chose to interfere."

Aoi replied with a shrug.

"Me too."

"Me three!"

Then Alec and Blake followed.

Raven then glanced at Curtis and Eve who were standing near to each other, then he gave them a light bow as a sign of gratitude.

Raven didn’t know how, but he’s pretty certain that the two of them covered for him at some point too.

Curtis just ignored him while Eve just furrowed her brows and eye-rolled at him.

Not that Raven minded their reactions.

Moving on... Adelle gently held Raven’s hands.

Raven felt a soft touch—Adelle’s hands were small and warm.

And feeling that... He frowned.

’This is uncomfortable...’

He thought as Adelle closed her eyes and started mumbling a chant.

Then not long after, a yellowish mana came out from her hand and soon covered Raven’s whole body.

Whoosh~

Raven felt a warm and comfortable sensation while being subjected to Adelle’s mana. And soon, he started to regain energy and feel much better.

’Wow... Her healing skill is better than I expected.’

Raven thought.

Adelle’s abilities are focused on support magic and skills.

She already mastered all 1st to 4th tier buffs and debuffs, healing and restraining magic, and etc.

So after just some good seconds... Adelle opened her eyes again and retrieved her hands.

"How are you feeling?"

She then asked Raven.

And at her question—Raven smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"Never felt better this whole week."

He answered.

Adelle was relieved hearing his response as she thought her skills wouldn’t work on Raven because of his weird nature.

Anyway, just then... Eve and Curtis joined them.

"Why did you provoke Professor Pete in the first place?"

Eve asked Raven. She was frowning, but she’s slightly curious too of the reason.

"He started it first, I just gave him a taste of his own medicine. How would I know he can’t hold his temper?"

Raven sarcastically answered while looking at her calmly.

While what he said was true... He actually have another reason for doing that.

’Pete is most likely hired by that Dick.Son of a bitch to keep an eye on me... It was so obvious so I needed to remove him as he might hinder my plans in some way or another.’

Raven thought to himself.

Pete was never kind to him before, but at least he didn’t try to pick on him or attack him back then.
