Earlier...
(Raven’s POV)
"~~~~~!!!"
I can hear loud yellings outside while I was in the cocoon I made using [Celestria].
’So damn noisy...!’
I grumbled inwardly, massaging my temple as my head hurts a lot. The noise outside is just making it even worse.
CRACK-!
"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 ti 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 soone is digging through my flesh!
Just then—
"~~~~!"
"~~~!"
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 !
But I couldn’t do anything as I’m still on my knees suffering from pain...
And what else, there’s soone trying to disrupt the flow of my mana!
If I lose focus even for a second, my self-made do will disappear and everyone will see 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.
"GRRGH....!"
...
...
...
Then, after a few monts—
[The application of was successful!]
"Haaaaaa... Haaaaa..."
Heavy and exhausted breaths escaped my mouth as I looked at the transparent window that suddenly appeared in front of .
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 .
Though just now, the pain stopped— and the system said that my body reconstruction was successful.
"Fuuuuuuuh..."
’Finally.’
That made sigh in relief.
’What’s that [ES] thing?’
Then I asked that inwardly. it’s the first ti 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!
Not just that—
’My hands and arms feel lighter, the sa 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.
’This is aweso.’
I thought.
A lot of changes happened to 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 so dust on it, I then noticed that I sll like shit.
Black and thick slly liquid is all over !
And soon, I felt them inside my mouth, my nose, and my ears too!
"[Cleanse!]"
I imdiately 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 sll like shit anymore.
But because I just got dirty, and rembering the foul sll... My mood just got even worse. I frowned.
"~~~~~~~!!!"
Then I heard another loud noise coming from the outside.
"Why can’t they shut up...?"
Swoosh~
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 mont— Pete exclaid 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 ! I know you did sothing to your body."
Not that Pete noticed his rudeness as his care at the mont is focused on Raven’s sudden glow up.
As ntioned earlier, Pete is handso, his face and charm are all just a bit below than Curtis and Alec.
But because Raven suddenly got handso and his look beca on the sa level as Alec’s and Curtis’.
Then that ans that his handsoness is below Raven’s. Which he couldn’t accept.
"Now tell , 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.
’Status.’
Swoosh~
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!
Anyway—
Now, Raven was so curious about his new look—I an, 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...’
He thought.
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!
FWISH—
"Huh...?"
But then, he was stopped by a mana barrier. It’s like a do 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 sothing...
Pat-
When Raven suddenly placed his right hand forward and touched his mana barrier.
Then with a frown om his face—
"[Devour]"
Raven muttered that.
At his word, everyone’s eyes shifted back to him because of curiosity.
SWOOSH—!
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—
FWISH~
Pete’s mana barrier disappeared into thin air as it was absorbed by Raven’s weird shadow thing!
"?!"
"Huh?"
"What was that?"
"I-I don’t know..."
The students watching were surprised, their eyes widening again.
But ignoring everyone in the room—
Raven imdiately and casually walked away and headed toward the bathroom again after absorbing the mana barrier.
And arriving in front of it—
Click-
Raven opened the door and went inside.
Thud!
Then he closed the door, not paying attention to anyone.
"..."
The students just silently watched him go and do his thing.
anwhile—
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 freshn students... And even Blake, who was not soone 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 sa 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!
So of the students beca envious of Raven because of this, so showed favor, so felt respect and awe toward him.
And so harbored hatred against him.
The greatest example of that... Is Pete.
’That peasant...!’
He was gnashing his teeth together in anger. He felt humiliated, clenching his hands into fists.
