Chapter 85 Finishing What I Started[1]
Raven led Blake and the others inside his new dorm, then they all went in 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.
"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 Raven is being hasty, he\'s still making sure that the drinks would turn out good.
And 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 placed the iced coffees he made on the table that is being surrounded by 3 sofas where Alec and the others are 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.\'
Raven thought.
"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 responded, they already have iced coffees in their hands.
"I came because of Eve..."
Curtis stated too.
"Shut up Curtis, everyone here knows that already."
And Raven immediately responded!
Though, unlike normal, Curtis didn\'t get angry!
Why?
It\'s because he\'s holding an iced coffee and he doesn\'t want to spill it.
"Fuck off with that stupid mouth of yours,Raven."
Curtis replied, then he took a sip from the iced coffee in his hand.
And seeing his reaction.
"Boring..."
Raven mumbled.
"Anyway, earlier... Why did you do that?"
It was then, Alec asked him.
\'He must mean the announcement thing...\'
Raven concluded before opening his mouth.
"Nothing, I just want to greet the people I\'m gonna be staying with in the same dormitory."
Raven replied with a shrug...
"You know they might target you because of that right?"
Alec worriedly asked Raven.
Raven took an iced coffee too 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 mumbled.
"I\'ll take them on anytime."
He added.
"And bring them down under my feet."
Then he declared!
And his declaration made everyone silent.
They stopped drinking drinking 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 everytime he fights someone strong, he gets stronger.
And the excitement he feels when fighting...
\'It was awesome...!\'
Raven thought.
Thump-
And his heart started pounding faster just because of the thought of him fighting someone strong!
"You\'re really insane..."
Cutis 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 happen to you."
Then, Eve said and started drinking iced coffee again.
"You sure are odd..."
Aoi mumbled before taking a sip at 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 are constantly telling them to train!
Even after being separated with the others, Blake and the others are thinking the same thing.
\'I don\'t want to lose against Raven.\'
Is what in their minds...

[Raven\'s POV]
"Wow, your room looks nice!"
Keara exclaimed as soon as he entered my new room.
"The headmaster is treating you nicely huh..."
Then Ruby followedly said to me 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 as they still doesn\'t have an 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 with a smile on her face.
-Kyu!
-Fine!
Which Yuki and Levina replied positively.
"What are you guys doing just now?"
Then Keara asked them.
-We were playing!
-Kyuu!
Levina and Yuki happily responded.
-Actually, come, we\'ll show you guys!
-Kyu!
Before Ruby or Keara could even reply to them, Levina and Yuki already flew back to the room they were in earlier.
They look excited.
Then Ruby and Keara looked at me, they look curious as fuck.
"Go join them, I\'ll cook in the meantime."
So I said to them with a smile.
"Thanks Raven."
"Call us we you need help."
Ruby and Keara said, then they followed after Levina and Yuki.
And me, I started cooking just like I said.

[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 respect me anymore, no one is scared of me anymore!
No one even sell things to me anymore!
If there are, they\'re selling it to me in 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 authority 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 2 reasons; fear and anger.
I\'m still feeling fear just remembering how Raven tortured me for minutes, but that minutes felt like days to me!
But I\'m also angry, because the doctor who healed me after that said that my testicles aren\'t gonna function anymore!
And adding the humiliation I recieved...
\'If only I can do something...\'
I thought.
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 2 days after the test and my fall...
Several people already barged in our house 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 2 days, I would\'ve already killed him.
"I heard you guys are gonna flee to the demon realm."
Then Ervin said to me.
"Yeah, so what?"
I replied.
"Are you sure you\'re fine with fleeing without getting your revenge on Raven?"
Then... Ervin asked.
"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 can raise my hand.
And his words caught my interest.
"Do you mean it?"
I asked Ervin.
"The humiliation I recieved from him is making me angry, he used an underhanded method for sure!"
Then, Ervin answered.
It seems like he\'s having a delusion that Raven cheated to beat him!
\'This fucker had 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 asked him again.
And 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 Ervin declared 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.
