Raven is looking at the [Emmeranne] in his hand.

The description and ability of the sword is so good that Raven was literally speechless this time.

But that didn't last long as his eyes soon landed on the last part of the [Emmeranne]'s description again.

'<Partner For Life>'

It said that someone needs to inject mana to the sword to be its only owner.

So without further ado and before anything else, Raven sent his mana to the [Emmeranne].

Swoosh-

And right after as he did that, a black transparent energy erupted from Raven and the [Emmeranne].

It soon expanded a few meters around them and shot toward the sky!

Bwhooom-!

Violent winds were produced all across Raven's dorm, attacking anything except Raven.

The black energy was like a storm and Raven is its eye as he was calmly standing in the middle of the harsh and strong winds!

"Keukk...!"

"Kyaaak!"

"Shit!"

Clang!

The winds even attacked the 3 women near Raven!

Ruby, Levina, and Keara!

Fortunately Ruby and Levina immediately formed a mana barrier, protecting themselves and Keara.

Normally Raven would stop immediately when that happened, but he didn't.

It's because Raven is currently in a trance.

His both eyes are closed as his hairs flutters with the calm winds protecting him.

Ting!

'W-what's this...?!'

Ting-!

Ruby inwardly exclaimed as she looks at Raven.

Clang-!

The winds that are violently attacking anything that they reaches are like sharp blades!

Metal clashing to each other was produced every time the winds attacks Ruby's and Levina's mana barrier.

It was absurd to produce gust of winds that strong, especially at Raven's current strength!

It was then...

Swoooosh–!

Raven opened his eyes.

Both of his eyes are bright shining gold!

They are glowing!

And the black transparent energy surrounding Raven got bigger to the point that it engulfed the whole room!

"!"

And soon elegance and overwhelming presence erupted from Raven's body and scattered everywhere!

Which caused every strand of hair in Ruby's body to stand up. The same goes for Levina and Keara.

***

Meanwhile, few moments before Raven injected mana to [Emmeranne].

In front of Blake's dorm.

6 figures are standing and having a conversation.

"Are you sure you're gonna be fine for tomorrow?"

Alec asked Blake.

"Well, yes?"

And Blake replied, not so confident in his answer.

Tomorrow is the start of the assessment test and Raven told the group that written test is the 1st thing that will happen tomorrow.

Blake, Alec, Eve, Adelle, Aoi, and even Curtis all believed in Raven's words as they know how great is his ability to predict things.

So today, the group decided to study until this time.

Raven wasn't with them but it's not the 1st time he didn't appear in their group study so nobody minded it.

They know Raven likes to move alone as much as possible.

And the reason why the group is in front of Blake's room is because the library is packed with students.

Eve doesn't want to let people in her dorm.

Aoi and Adelle is the same as their parents told them to not let boys in their room to protect their images.

Alec and Curtis on the other hand weren't able to clean their room because they were so immersed in training for the assessment test this whole week.

That's why they decided to use Blake's room.

And in exchange, they helped Blake study!

"But Raven, is he not in his room?"

Adelle asked curiously as her eyes went to Raven's dorm, just beside Blake's.

"I don't know... I don't see Boo too."

Aoi then replied to her.

"Who's Boo?"

And with a hint of interest in her voice, Eve asked Aoi and Adelle.

Alec and Blake looked at them too, waiting for their response.

And with shining eyes...

"Did you know Raven has a cat!"

Adelle exclaimed.

"A cat?"

Curtis unconsciously asked.

"Yeah, and the name of the cat was Boo!"

,m Adelle replied.

Which made Alec, Blake, Curtis, and Eve have a complicated expression on their faces.

"He would name his cat like that?"

Eve asked sarcastically.

"Well, the cat don't like his name and prefers to be called Midnight."

Aoi then stated.

"And do you guys know?"

Then Adelle excitedly asked teasingly.

Which made everyone look at her.

Then with a wide smile on her face.

"The cat is so similar to Raven!"

"Ahahahahahaha!"

Adelle exclaimed then laughed afterwards.

Alec and the others were confused at what Adelle mean by that.

Adelle noticed it too so she opened her mouth to try and explain.

"Boo, the cat was all black and his personality is very similar to Raven."

Adelle stated, which Aoi nodded her head as an agreement.

Making Eve, Alec, Blake, and even Curtis curious about the cat in subject.

"The cat was very arrogant just like his owne–"

Swoooosh–!

But as Adelle was adding another description about Raven's cat, Boo or Midnight.

A chilling sensation was felt and swallowed the whole group!

"!"

Making Adelle, Alec, Aoi, Blake, Curtis, and Eve immediately turned their heads to Raven's room that's just few steps away them.

That's where the source of the chills they felt was coming from!

Then they saw something black akin to mana covering the whole room.

Swaaaah–

And not long after they saw that, an elegance and strong presence followed.

The group couldn't take their eyes away from Raven's room and all of them started to get nervous.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Their hearts started beating wildly as the atmosphere around them turned tense!

There are winds coming out from Raven's room and every time the winds hit the group.

Goosebumps crept up to them.

Fwoosh-

But then, not long, the black energy thing disappeared along with the presence like it didn't happened in the first place.

"..."

"..."

Nevertheless, no one removed their gazes from Raven's room and no one spoke.

Just after a while that someone decided to talk.

"What was that...?"

Alec asked in a weak voice.

"...I don't know."

Curtis replied.

The others have the same answer as him.

But all of them know one obvious thing.

It was Raven's doing...

"Looks like Raven will finally come out of his shell and stop hiding himself to the world..."

Blake muttered, and at his words, the group looked at each other.

"I'm gonna go get ready for tomorrow..."

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Curtis declared and immediately left, his voice was rather competitive.

"...Me too."

Alec followed, he said his goodbye to the group and left too.

"Me and Aoi are gonna go."

Adelle said and Aoi nodded as a response.

"Do you want to come with us Eve?"

Then Adelle asked Eve.

Eve has a frown on her face as she shook her head.

"I have something else to do..."

She replied.

Adelle and Aoi nodded, understanding what Eve is gonna do as they're all planning the same thing.

"Bye Blake."

"See you tomorrow."

"Bye."

Adelle, Aoi, and Eve exchanged goodbyes with Blake before leaving.

So Blake was left alone, he looked at Raven's room again.

"I suddenly want to train..."

Then he mumbled as he didn't enter his room but instead headed to the training grounds.

What they just suddenly felt and knowing that Raven will do something absurd again tomorrow...

Lit something inside Curtis, Alec, Adelle, Aoi, Eve, and Blake.

They feel like they're being carefree and Raven will overtake them any moment now.

But in reality, the group is progressing at a fast pace.

In terms of vehicles, the group is riding a racing car toward the higher level!

It's just that Raven doesn't want to drive so he decided to ride a plane toward the higher level!

[Raven's POV]

"Huff...huff..huff..."

Rough breathes came out to my mouth as soon as I came out of my trance.

'How long am I in that state?'

I asked in my mind.

-'Just for half a minute...'

[30 seconds bitch.]

Then I recieved 2 replies from different existence in my head.

After that, I slowly lifted my head up.

And that's when I saw a window floating in front of me.

'Compatibility?'

I muttered in my mind.

Then looking at the [Emmeranne] in my right hand.

"!"

My eyes widened and my face became complicated.

The sword...

"It feels like it's a part of my body..."

I mumbled.

"Is it done...?"

But then I heard Keara's voice in front of me.

I immediately closed the system and looked around me.

"Shit..."

Is the only thing I was able to mutter when I saw my room messy as hell with blade scratches(?) everywhere.

And in front of me.

Levina, Ruby, and Keara are all behind a huge magic barrier.
