RE: The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 20 - Changes [2]—Mine

(Alec's POV)

I'm now sitting next to Raven, and on his other side is Blake.

It's been about an hour since we introduced ourselves to each other.

I asked Raven if it's okay to sit beside him.

I'm pretty excited, as these guys are my first male friends in the academy. Curtis is being an asshole toward me—well, toward other boys too.

Anyway, at my question—Raven thought for a while but eventually agreed, mumbling things like...

"If he's here, this noisy kid beside me will talk to him instead of me. So I'll know peace."

Raven moved one seat away from the window and made me sit in his former seat.

He said the protagonist should always sit near the window so it's cool.

I don't know what he's talking about, but I sat there anyway.

And after being here for an hour, I discovered that Raven is not really talkative. Just as I expected, he's a good listener though. Talking to him is somewhat pleasant.

Raven also didn't reveal anything about himself easily.

While even though Blake always runs his mouth off, he actually doesn't talk about his personal life or outside the academy. And when he's getting too noisy, Raven will cast a magic on him.

Normally, using magic on another student is prohibited except during sparring or self-defense.

But Raven's magic is so calm and quiet that it's hard to notice. Also, Blake didn't really mind as it did no harm to him.

And, the bird that's always with Raven is named Yuki. Yuki is his familiar, and Raven said she's as smart as a human kid.

'That's awesome.'

An intelligent small bird—it's interesting in any aspect!

It was then...

"Why is there no professor coming?"

Blake suddenly asked that.

It's been an hour and no professor came. I'm starting to wonder why too.

"It means they're doing something more important than teaching."

Raven replied as if he knows what's happening.

"What do you think they're doing then?"

A familiar voice asked, coming from our front.

It was Adelle with Aoi beside her. Looks like they moved near us and sat beside Eve.

Now Eve, Adelle, and Aoi are seated in front of us three in order.

Raven looked at Adelle, thinking about something.

After a while, he seemed to reach a conclusion in his thoughts and finally talked.

"Probably preparing some tests to gauge our skills again."

He said.

"Test? But it's too early for another academy ranking and we already did an entrance test."

Blake stated. Adelle and I nodded.

"It's an assessment this time. The tests we did before were just qualification tests."

Raven replied in a bored voice.

"How did you know?"

Aoi asked him.

"I just know."

But he gave her an unclear answer, which made Aoi frown.

"Ah...! By the way, I'm Adelle Lucette, rank 5 from the freshmen academy ranking."

Adelle introduced herself, then pointed at Aoi.

"This is Masami Aoi, she's rank 4!"

Adelle's voice was excited as if she was talking about her own achievement.

'Her and Blake are similar. Energetic and talkative, always happy for their friends' achievements, and don't talk about their personal lives.'

I thought as I noticed the two's similarities.

Adelle just proceeded and pointed at Eve next.

"And this is Eve Godwin, she's rank 3!"

Adelle is proudly puffing her chest out, making her bosoms fully displayed as the male students steal glances at her.

I also sometimes find myself attracted to those big bosoms of girls. I'm also a boy after all.

"And for your information, Alec there beside you is rank 1!"

"The rank 2 is Curtis Hawkins. He's there at the back row!"

And then Adelle told my and Curtis's ranking to Raven.

"Woah! That's cool!"

Blake replied in a very impressed voice.

Though Raven seems unimpressed.

"I'm Raven Obadiah. What rank am I again?... About rank 2600? Anyway, nice to meet you."

He introduced himself back unenthusiastically.

Adelle's brows knitted. She was about to say something.

Swoosh—

Click—

But the door opened and someone came in.

It was our homeroom professor, Sir Kendy Nasah.

Sir Kendy's presence made the classroom tense.

Every student fixed their posture, including me. Except for Raven and Eve who remained calm.

Well, their postures are already good anyway.

"I have an announcement to make."

Sir Kendy said as he settled in front of the classroom. He didn't say much, but it made the air more tense.

Well, Raven and Eve were so relaxed. Seeing them like that helped me relax too, the same for Blake, Aoi, and Adelle.

"All freshmen will have an assessment test at the end of this month."

Sir Kendy declared.

Turns out Raven's prediction was right. The students who heard his guess earlier all looked at him with amazement. Well, Eve just frowned.

'Raven has good insight.'

We all thought in unison.

"I was sure it was supposed to be this weekend."

I heard Raven muttering beside me. I thought he would be all smug about his prediction being right, but he seemed dissatisfied with what's happening.

'What does he mean?'

'What is he so unsatisfied with? His prediction was right.'

Raven was scowling, but his face returned to normal not long after.

As Sir Kendy wasn't done with the announcement.

"Also, you guys are going to have a new professor."

Sir Kendy dropped the news with a mix of worry and curiosity in his face.

It was then Raven frowned again.

"This isn't in the story..."

He said. No one knew what he was talking about, so we all ignored his mumbling.

Then at that time—two figures entered the classroom.

They were women.

The first to enter had a cover on her face, so we couldn't identify or see her facial features. One could tell she was a woman based on her figure—as if she was sexy with the right curves on her body.

The second woman following her had no mask and was wearing a simple but cute formal dress shirt with long sleeves tucked into her black fitted skirt.

Gasp—

Weak gasping followed after her arrival.

She had a cute small face with short brown hair and big blue eyes. And her body was umm... very sexy.

Her looks were on par with Eve, Adelle, and Aoi.

I could feel that she was just about rank.

She was so cute... Fidgeting nervously as she walked in front of the classroom.

I blushed, as it's not always that I see someone as cute as her. This was also my first reaction seeing Aoi, Eve, and Adelle.

I don't have any experience with girls even in my past life, and that explained it all. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Anyway, it wasn't just me... But all the boys and even some girls blushed upon seeing that cute woman.

Blake and Adelle were blushing too. Adelle isn't into girls, but I know she said she likes cute things. So it's probably like admiring the woman's appearance.

"That one is so cute!"

She said, pointing at the woman who just entered. Blake nodded dumbfoundedly.

But what caught our attention was Raven. He was surprised and frowning.

"Keara?"

Then a name escaped his mouth as he looked at the woman.

Everyone who heard him turned their heads to him.

Me, Adelle, Aoi, Blake, Eve, and Curtis, who got behind our seats—I don't know when. Anyway, our attention also shifted to Raven.

Some other students looked at him too, because the room was engulfed in silence earlier. Almost everyone heard Raven. And because of curiosity, their attention was on him.

And maybe because his tone indicated that he was seeing someone unexpected, someone he knew.

The two women who just entered looked at Raven too. The same goes for Sir Kendy, who has extraordinary hearing.

Almost all attention was on him. Almost.

The cute woman blushed and lowered her head upon meeting Raven's eyes. Though she peeked in our direction with a shy smile. To be precise, she was peeking at Raven.

Of course, her reaction didn't go unnoticed by us.

"Do you know her?"

Adelle asked Raven. We're all waiting for him response.

He looked around. And realizing that he's in the center of attention, he frowned.

Raven opened his mouth and was about to say something. But then... Weak whispering was heard in the back row of seats.

"Woah, look at that body."

"I'm gonna use my family authority to approach her later and aske her out."

"Maybe she'll come with us if we give her a lot of money."

"Let's make her our bitch."

"Kekeke."

Laughter followed after their disgusting words.

The room was still silent, and almost everyone had their hearing senses amplified because they were nosy and waiting for Raven's reply.

And because of those reasons—everyone in the room heard the dirty whispers made by three male students.

Looking at the source of the whispers, three laughing boys could be seen. They weren't looking at Raven because they were just focused on the cute woman. Who Raven called 'Keara'.

They had these nasty looks on their faces.

I frowned. Not just me but everyone as well.

Curtis just shrugged in disgust at the three boys.

Adelle, Aoi, and Eve showed great displeasure and looked at the boys with cold eyes.

The room's temperature seemed to drop several levels.

"He—"

Blake and I were just about to say something...

SWOOOSH—!!

But a sudden chill washed over our bodies!

Not just us, but everyone in the classroom felt it, making all of us flinch!

Sir Kendy widened his eyes and then smiled.

And after that, heavy pressure came after!

F W O O S H—!

My heart started beating rapidly.

Thump- thump- thump—

It feels like I'm standing on thin ice, and one wrong move will endanger my life.

Some students started cold sweating, while some had trouble breathing.

But out of every student affected, the three boys who were whispering to each other about the cute woman earlier became pale as ghosts with terrified expressions on their faces.

They turned their heads to where the pressure and aura were coming from. And everyone's eyes followed.

We all looked at one person—he who had cold eyes and a majestic demeanor.

We were all looking at Raven.

Raven was standing and looking at the three boys, his body facing them.

"I got bad news for the three of you."

His cold voice echoed through the room. Then he pointed at the woman.

The woman looked at Raven with anticipation.

And then Raven opened his mouth—

"She's mine."

"..."

"..."

Heavy silence descended upon the classroom at his words.
