I can hear loud yellings outside while I was in the cocoon I made using [Celestria].
I grumbled inwardly, massaging my temple as my head hurts a lot. The noise outside is just making it even worse.
"Krrrgh...! Fucking hell...!"
I weakly muttered as I bit my lower lip.
It’s not just my head— my whole body hurts like hell!
My bones are being rearranged again and again, and every time that happens, it feels like they’re breaking!
Not just that, every muscle in my body is expanding and shrinking, and in that process, it feels like someone is digging through my flesh!
I heard loud noises again from the outside of my self-made cocoon.
I can’t understand them... My head hurts too much to process what they are saying and doing.
And also, because of the continuous radiating pain I’m feeling; I was in a rather foul mood.
The noise is fucking annoying me!
But I couldn’t do anything as I’m still on my knees suffering from pain...
And what else, there’s someone trying to disrupt the flow of my mana!
If I lose focus even for a second, my self-made dome will disappear and everyone will see me in this pathetic state!
’I wouldn’t let that happen...’
I declared in my head as I made my mana denser and controlled them better.
Then, after a few moments—
[The application of was successful!](function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'996401df9d6e888d',t:'MTc2MTc1NDkwMA=='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();
"Haaaaaa... Haaaaa..."
Heavy and exhausted breaths escaped my mouth as I looked at the transparent window that suddenly appeared in front of me.
I’m lying on the ground as I couldn’t move my body earlier because of the pain.
The intense pain continued for minutes... But it felt like hours for me.
Though just now, the pain stopped— and the system said that my body reconstruction was successful.
That made me sigh in relief.
’What’s that [ES] thing?’
Then I asked that inwardly. it’s the first time I saw it so I got curious about it.
But anyway, before trying to figure out what that is—I tried moving my body.
And I was happy to know that I can move again after the pain stopped!
’My hands and arms feel lighter, the same for my feet and legs...’
My whole body feels great!
My physical body seems more built than before; my muscles were divided perfectly throughout my body, and they also feel more solid now.
A lot of changes happened to me and it feels weird moving around.
So I familiarized myself first with my body before standing up with my two legs.
’The floor was cold as fuck, ugh.’
I thought, looking at the white shiny marble-like floor that I was lying on just now.
Patting my uniform to remove some dust on it, I then noticed that I smell like shit.
Black and thick smelly liquid is all over me!
And soon, I felt them inside my mouth, my nose, and my ears too!
I immediately cleaned myself, then I stored all the liquid in my spatial storage.
The disgust on my face just ceased to exist when the liquid was nowhere to be seen and I don’t smell like shit anymore.
But because I just got dirty, and remembering the foul smell... My mood just got even worse. I frowned.
Then I heard another loud noise coming from the outside.
"Why can’t they shut up...?"
I grumbled. Then with a casual wave of my hand, I changed the [Celestria]’s shape back into a ring.
(Now, back to the present...)
Raven’s appearance stunned everyone in the classroom.
Though, Raven is confused at what’s happening.
"Now that’s a huge glow up..."
Adelle mumbled, breaking the silence in the room.
Following her words, whisperings started to spread around the room, and most of them are from the girls.
Obviously, their topic is Raven’s new look.
"What the hell did you do?!"
Then, at that moment— Pete exclaimed that while pointing at Raven.
Raven tilted his head in confusion.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
He unconsciously muttered, forgetting that Pete is still his professor.
"Don’t joke with me! I know you did something to your body."
Not that Pete noticed his rudeness as his care at the moment is focused on Raven’s sudden glow up.
As mentioned earlier, Pete is handsome, his face and charm are all just a bit below than Curtis and Alec.
But because Raven suddenly got handsome and his look became on the same level as Alec’s and Curtis’.
Then that means that his handsomeness is below Raven’s. Which he couldn’t accept.
"Now tell me, what did you do?!"
Pete asked again. He was confident before that he’s at least more good looking than Raven, thus he deserves Ruby more, but when that advantage disappeared, he got very angry at him.
And because of the things he’s shouting at him— Raven finally realized that a lot had changed in his appearance.
He got curious about it, so he opened his stats.
With that single thought of his, a transparent window appeared in front of him.
"Wha... Huh? What the fuck...?"
Raven didn’t know what to say after seeing his new updated stats.
He was of course shocked!
He was just blankly staring at his [Charm] stat... He was so focused on it to the point that he didn’t notice that his [Strength] and [Stamina] stats both ranked up once!
Now, Raven was so curious about his new look—I mean, why wouldn’t he be? His charm stat just rose by 5 ranks!
So with that, he relentlessly scanned around. Then... His eyes landed on the bathroom inside their room.
’There must be a mirror there...’
Raven haven’t enter their classroom’s bathroom yet even once since the start of the academy. Because in his mind, public bathrooms are dirty. (I agree...)
But Raven brushed of that thinking for now as he stepped forward and started heading straight to the bathroom!
But then, he was stopped by a mana barrier. It’s like a dome too and it’s a clear transparent light blue. It was trapping him inside.
"What the fuck is this thing doing here?"
Raven asked with an annoyed voice, his words shocked everyone and all of them looked at Pete.
Pete was enraged, he was angry at Raven to begin with, but his words just now made him even more pissed.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something...
When Raven suddenly placed his right hand forward and touched his mana barrier.
Then with a frown om his face—
At his word, everyone’s eyes shifted back to him because of curiosity.
Then they all saw a black shadow-like thing erupt from Raven’s right hand and it covered a small part of Pete’s mana barrier!
And before any of them could even react—
Pete’s mana barrier disappeared into thin air as it was absorbed by Raven’s weird shadow thing!
The students watching were surprised, their eyes widening again.
But ignoring everyone in the room—
Raven immediately and casually walked away and headed toward the bathroom again after absorbing the mana barrier.
And arriving in front of it—
Raven opened the door and went inside.
Then he closed the door, not paying attention to anyone.
The students just silently watched him go and do his thing.
Eve, Alec, Blake, Curtis, Aoi, and Adelle were looking at the bathroom door where Raven had entered with an odd look of confusion in their faces.
This is actually the case for everyone.
After all, they saw Alec, the strongest among the freshmen students... And even Blake, who was not someone to scoff at in terms of strength...
The both of them were struggling to even put a crack on Pete’s mana barrier earlier.
But Raven just completely removed that same mana barrier with ease! He did it so effortlessly like it was normal for him!
’He’s really full of surprises...’
Everyone thought. It was only the beginning of the day and a lot of things already happened, all connected to Raven!
His ability to make a mana barrier, his sudden change of appearance, and his weird mana or magic-cancelling skill!
Some of the students became envious of Raven because of this, some showed favor, some felt respect and awe toward him.
And some harbored hatred against him.
The greatest example of that... Is Pete.
He was gnashing his teeth together in anger. He felt humiliated, clenching his hands into fists.
