"Since everyone here already drew lots, let's see who's the 'it'." Victor announced.
In the crowd of 16 students, Raven raised his hand while still wearing that mischievous smile in his face. His classmates looked at him and they all had mixed feelings.
For so who weren't close to the newer batch, they felt that it was a bit of a sha that he beca the it. After all, he had no idea of their full capabilities just yet.But to those who knew him very well… let's just say that they weren't looking forward to this.
"Instructor, I have a question." Zelor blurted out of nowhere, the rest of the students looked towards him and so felt that he was being weird because he looked like he was glaring at Raven.
"What is it Zelor?" Victor asked with brows raised.
"Are we allowed to attack him?" He spat while pointing at Raven. The rest of the class was sowhat shocked about his question, as for Victor, he found this event rather interesting. He smiled and nodded his head.
"So long as you don't kill him, then it's fine. He could fight back as well." Victor said.
"Good!" Zelor flashed a cold smiled as he cast another glance at Raven. It was a bare provocation directed at him. As for Raven, he actually find this rather funny. It seems that this guy wanted to really return the favor of his humiliation back then.anwhile, Rupert sneakily went beside Paul and asked:
"Hey, did he sohow provoked Zelor?"
"I don't know." Paul shrugged, "But knowing him, he probably wasn't the one who started it. He's a training freak but also has a headstrong personality."
"Tell him to apologize as soon as he could. If he could sohow diffuse the tension between them, then he would have an easier ti in this Institute." Rupert solemnly said, this was the first ti that Paul ever heard him say things seriously. He raised brow and asked: "Why?"
"He's from the Mort Family." Rupert referring to Zelor. "They are probably the richest rchants in this entire kingdom. As for Zelor, he's the only son. Which makes him the young master of this family. If he wanted to, he could mobilize their money to make things difficult for him. And trust , if he pissed off Zelor that much, then it's very likely for that to happen."
Despite explaining the gravity of the situation to Paul, Rupert did not expect him to actually laugh. Zelor was at a loss, he couldn't rember if he had said anything funny.
"I thought that you guys must've done so background check to us, but it seems that you guys haven't yet." Paul's words made Rupert even more confused in all honesty. "
Don't worry, Raven's family might not be as rich as Zelor's, but even if Zelor mobilized their entire wealth to deal with him, he won't even be able to touch the hem of his clothes."
Paul said nothing more and instead patter Rupert's shoulders. On the other hand, his words left Rupert reeling. He can't quite figure out how he could dismiss the Mort Family just like that, he also can't figure out what's so good about Raven's background.
In the Genius Class, all of them ca from impressive backgrounds. Rupert himself ca from a decent one too, but none of them could ever hope to just freely dismiss Zelor's clan. This is also why they didn't bother researching for backgrounds of the newer batch as well. Because they thought that no matter what, Zelor's background is still the most impressive out of everyone.But now it seems that he really had to know more about this new students. From this discussion and their warning to them about taking this ga seriously, made his curiosity reach its peak.
"Aside from the 'it', everybody move out. After a 60 second countdown, the ga shall begin!" As soon as Victor said this, the players instantly blurred into action. Raven looked at Victor, when he saw him give a thumbs up, he turned around started counting down. 20 seconds, 19, 18...
"4." Raven's leisurely countdown echoed to every corner of the training field. Raven's friends placed a solemn expression as they braced themselves.
"3." "2.""1."
Raven turned around and saw most of the students hiding behind pillars while suppressing their breaths. He smiled and thought that their plan of ambush was pretty cute.
anwhile, Paul, Mark, Ellen, Anne, and Luna didn't even bother hiding. They instead placed themselves between the gaps of the pillars or on so angles where they thought Raven would find difficult to traverse.
Despite having an hour tifra, Raven appeared to care less about it. He leisurely walked towards them like he was on his backyard. He could obviously use Spiritual Sense to better gauge where the rest are but what's the fun in that? He doesn't have any plan on using Spiritual Sense not his ocular technique in this ga.Before he reached the first pillar, he raised his foot and gathered a solid amount of energy in there. He grunted and stomped hard, which made the entire field shook for brief mont.
"Oh, there's two beside . A girl and a boy." Raven said out loud, letting the whole class hear him. The people he was referring to shuddered in their hiding spots. Both of them had one thought: 'How did he know!?'
"Get out of there you two! His stomp earlier was laced with his energy, since it rippled everywhere it sent back a feed to him, roughly revealing your positions! He's good!"
A voice from one his classmates echoed around, judging from the sound it seems that this person is on the move too. From his mories, the one who spoke was Wilbert Scar, the top perforr of the most recent Biannual Examinations.
"Thanks for the complint!" Raven yelled back towards the general direction of Wilbert. As soon as he did that, the two people near him imdiately ran away. "You're welco!" Wilbert laughed while still on the move. Inwardly, he shuddered in excitent.
'It seems that he won't make this ga boring after all.'
It wasn't only Wilbert who was on the move during this ti. Paul and the rest of Raven's friends also knew what he did and was moving as well. Unlike the rest, every step they took was laced with their energy as well. The rest of the class also heard the conversation and was similarly shocked. They too moved out from their location since they knew they were revealed already.
Typically, Raven shouldn't be playing around anymore since he knew that all of them will constantly move around and avoid him. But he has a plan. Still wearing that mischievous smile of his, he arrived at one of the pillars. Next, he planted one foot on it's surface, then lifted the other one. Usually, this will cause soone fall flat on their rear but that didn't happen to him, he stood horizontally on the erect pillar and started walking on it like he was walking on a flat ground. Near him, a familiar face actually saw him doing this. This guy couldn't but exclaim…
"Holy shit!" Rupert was dumbfounded when he saw him walking on the pillar. "You can do that?"
His voice was loud and everyone heard it, they stared at the general direction where his voice was and beca dumbfounded when they saw him casually walking on the pillar.
"Hey! That's cheating!" Rupert groaned in his hiding spot. Raven arrived just a step away from the safe zone, which is the top of the pillars, and searched for Rupert. It took re seconds before he found him, and when Rupert felt his sharp gaze, the fat on his body fiercely trembled.
"Found you! And no, this is not cheating. In fact, you guys could do this too! It's the sa concept with the Energy Scan but you do it gentler and maintain it that way so that your feet could adhere to the pillars." Raven explained as he precisely looked at their hidings spots one by one. "Look! They're doing it too!"
The rest looked where was pointing at and saw the newer batch of students doing the sa thing as he did. So them were casually standing horizontally on the pillars while the others are running from one pillar to another without slipping and falling.
Rupert pursed his lips and tried doing it, he actually managed to plant both of his feet on to the surface of the pillar, but he lost control and fell flat on his rear. The sound of him falling was loud, and he wasn't the only one who tried it since he heard the sa sound at least four or five tis.
"Shit! He's gone!"
While most of them tried copying him, Raven silently jumped down and his fall didn't make any sound. Most of the students were then reminded that they were actually playing a ga, and Raven decided to make a distraction to hide his true intentions. Not even a second later, they heard him speak again.
