"So, all of you entered a dungeon for the first ti today?"
Raven asked, he’s calmly looking at the mbers of his group, they’re vomiting and couldn’t even stand straight.
"Yes... Also..."
"Also what?"
Raven asked as the one he’s speaking with seed to be hesitating.
"Most of us are non-combatants..."
Jeanna Avyl then finally said.
She’s one of the bullies that targeted Raven on the first day of the academy.
(Chapter 5-6.)
Jeanna is still scared of Raven. Though, she had already stopped harassing nor even mistreating other students after her encounter with him that day.
But even though she was scared, she can’t help but secretly steals glances at Raven’s face while blushing.
Anyway—averting his eyes away from Jeanna, Raven looked at Harvey.
(Chapter 51-52.)
"Hey, delusional guy."
Raven called, making Harvey flinch and imdiately lower his head.
"What is it... Sir...?"
Harvey muttered, nervous.
But not caring shit about him—
"Gather everyone up, fast."
Raven gave him a command.
"G-Got it!"
Harvey, of course, quickly obeyed him like it was normal because of fear.
"..."
"..."
Everyone seed to not mind Raven’s bossy attitude as they silently gathered in one place at his words.
It didn’t even take them half a minute to gather together and even form a clean line.
Looking at them being cooperative, Raven nodded in satisfaction.
"I already predicted getting shit teammates, luckily they’re at least obedient."
He mumbled to himself with a smile on his face.
Most of his team mbers are girls, and the few boys are mostly not good in combat.
Moving on, Raven approached Harvey and whispered sothing to him.
"..."
Harvey nodded with a serious expression after that.
Raven smiled slyly at his response.
Then—
TAP.
Then Raven took an audible step, that action alone made everyone look at him and shut their mouths.
And standing in front of everyone proudly with a calm face—
"Does anyone here want to fight against Sean and his team?"
Raven asked them seriously.
"..."
"..."
No one answered. All of them are aware that they would all just lose imdiately if they attacked the other team. They’re that weaker in terms of combat abilities.
And so... they all concluded that taking a defensive style was the best course of action in this situation.
Seeing them not answering—
"Mhm."
Raven nodded his head, understanding what his teammates were thinking.
"I’m going to attack Sean’s whole team alone then."
Then he casually declared that!
"...!"
"Wha—?!"
Everyone around widened their eyes in surprise after hearing his declaration.
"But that’s–!"
"If you guys want to win, then follow . Staying here and waiting for defeat sounds boring."
Jeanna was about to say sothing, but Raven’s next words cut her off early.
"All of you must have thought that being defensive is the only way we can take here, but in that style... we would still lose in the end."
Raven continued, and everyone was listening to him like they were enchanted by his words.
Raven’s high charm and great ability in using sophistry mixed well and was greatly convincing his teammates!
"So follow ."
Raven muttered with confidence.
"All you need to do is support from the back and support each other in every way you can."
Raven looked at his teammates one by one.
Then—
"I wouldn’t let any of you die."
He declared that and turned his back to everyone.
SWOOOSH–
"!!!"
Gasp!
After that, a pair of beautiful hawk-like black wings grew on his back and extended out—giving him a majestic and celestial look!
Everyone was looking at Raven with awe and respect.
Harvey had this complicated look on his face.
While Jeanna was looking up at Raven with glittering eyes.
"Just trust , and I’ll give you victory."
Raven stated with overflowing elegance.
BAM-!
Then he kicked the ground to propel himself up into the air.
SWOOSH~
His wings flapped once and Raven shot forward at a terrifying speed!
And not long after that—his figure wasn’t visible to the others anymore.
"..."
"..."
Silence prevailed in the area where Raven had just left.
Everyone was blankly looking up in the air, where they last saw him.
And then—
"Hey, what are you guys doing?!"
Soone shouted, snapping everyone out of their stupor.
"...?"
Looking at the source of the voice, everyone saw Jeanna in front of the crowd. She was pointing at where Raven had disappeared to.
"Aren’t you guys gonna follow him?"
She asked, her eyes shining and excitent could be seen on her face.
Then after a while, and rembering Raven’s declaration—
"I’ll go."
" too."
"Yeah, I will follow him too...!"
Everyone started to agree one by one.
They felt excitent at Raven’s bold actions and words... It’s making them want to do sothing!
"I’m gonna stay."
But then, soone said that.
Everyone looked at that person...
And it was Harvey.
"Soone needs to protect our flag, and Raven told that I should do it before he left."
After hearing his explanation, everyone nodded in understanding.
Harvey was actually relieved to stay as he still felt afraid of Raven.
And with that done—
"Okay then, let’s move imdiately!"
Jeanna went and exclaid that.
...
...
Five more mbers of Raven’s team chose to be left behind. They did so because they know they can’t participate in battle.
They were disappointed, but they knew that they would just be dead weights, so they just decided to defend their flag just in case.
On the other hand, the remaining 18 mbers left imdiately to follow Raven.
And because they were in a dungeon, they of course encountered so monsters on their way ranging from rank [F] to [E-].
Though, they imdiately took care of each one of them swiftly with great coordination.
The group made a few mistakes, but it’s normal considering they were all teaming up for the first ti.
They were actually doing amazing already as they imdiately fixed their errors so they could function as a team better.
They even started planning and sharing their capabilities while moving forward to coordinate with one another more efficiently!
Harvey told the group that Raven said to only go straight where he went and they would eventually et him and find themselves in the enemy’s base.
So the group, including Jeanna, that was following Raven—hurriedly marched to where Raven went as they were worried about what would happen to him alone in the tiger’s den!
...
After a few minutes of traveling—
Raven’s words proved to be true, as only after ten minutes, Jeanna and the group reached Sean’s team’s base!
And there—
"!!!"
"Wha..."
All of them were greeted by a scene they couldn’t even think could happen.
*****
(Earlier, before Jeanna and the others arrived.)
Fwish~
Raven slowly descended to the ground as he looked down at Sean’s whole team.
"..."
He kept close watch on every of every enemy below as they might make their move any mont.
But to Sean and his group... Raven just looked like he was belittling them.
Well—Raven really was.
Tap.
Whoosh~
Raven landed softly on the ground, then his wings disappeared. Though in exchange, a black bodysuit covered him from his neck down to his feet.
Fwip-
"..."
Raven silently grabbed [Nyx] out from its holster that was attached to his right waist with his left hand.
"...?"
Sean and the others watched his actions in total silence. They were being wary of what Raven might do.
SWOONG–
Then Raven unsheathed [Emranne] that was attached to his left waist and tightly held it in his right hand.
And after that, he scanned everyone in the area and the surroundings.
They were in an open grassland that was about 300 square ters big.
’Well, it is a forest-type dinsion.’
Raven thought. It’s been barely two minutes since the test started and they entered the portal.
He was still new to the surroundings. He just knew where Sean’s base was because of the novel.
Written information about a place is greatly lacking compared to being in the place yourself.
So Raven just knew the basic structures and vague information about the dinsion beforehand.
Well, compared to Sean and everyone else, he knew much better.
Sean didn’t even know the surrounding area of their base.
Anyway, at that mont—
"Surround him!"
Sean ordered that, and others moved as he said. They surrounded Raven in a fairly huge circle formation.
"Hmm..."
Raven looked at Sean, then he smirked.
"Why don’t you co at yourself?"
He provoked him.
"Do you still not know your situation?!"
But Raven received a reply not from Sean, but from one of the students surrounding him.
He’s fairly handso with a good build, and he’s [F] rank.
"You’re surrounded alone here, you think you can get out of here just fine?"
The sa student said, acting all smug.
"And what’s with that gun? Do you think you look cool because you’re the only one who’s using that?"
"You look stupi–"
PSH!
Phuc!
It was then, a fast black light shot straight to the boy.
And a hole suddenly appeared in the middle of his brows while he was talking.
THUD-
A dull audible sound was heard afterward as his body fell to the ground.
"...?!"
"...!"
Everyone around widened their eyes in surprise as they witnessed all of that. Everything happened in just a split second.
Their eyes went to soone who they assud to be the one responsible for what just happened—
Raven Obadiah.
"..."
He had his left hand raised and his gun was aid at the student who was just talking earlier.
"You’re too loud... it’s annoying."
Raven mumbled, annoyance can be heard in his voice.
"Can’t you all shut up and just attack ?"
And then he followed with that.
"YOU BITCH—!"
And as soon as he said that, two male students angrily rushed at him.
