[Raven\'s POV]

"You want me to join the student council?"

"Yes."

Lillen immediately answered my question.

"As of now, you have a great influence in the academy, especially to the freshmen."

"It would be beneficial to us if you join us, and based on your written test scores and combat abilities."

"And the fact that you didn\'t bow down to those with power and instead brought them down for their wrong doings."

"Nobody would object to you joining the student council even though you\'re just a freshman."

Lillen explain continuously without giving me a time to response!

\'This is also the time where Alec and the main characters would join the student council...\'

And I\'m being recruited too.

Just to confirm something...

"Are you gonna invite Alec, Curtis, Eve, Aoi, and Adelle too?"

I asked Lillen.

"...You\'re right, even your friend Blake."

Then Lillen replied with a smile.

But hearing Blake\'s name made my eyes twitch.

\'That bastard...\'

Now I\'m really curious at what Blake did in the test to be a recuit candidate too.

Bringing my attention back to Lillen...

"Are you trying to make a group that would be the next student council after you leave?"

I asked her seriously.

"!"

And seeing her and the others\' shocked expression, I guess my words were right.

"You\'re insight seems pretty good... You\'re correct again."

Lillen answered.

\'Insight? I put it in the novel you so I know.\'

I thought before opening my mouth again.

"Why are you doing it?"

And asked Lillen a question again.

"Hey, stop asking questions!"

Cooper then exclaimed.

"Stop it, we\'re inviting him in our group, so Raven have a right to ask questions."

Then Lana, the Vice President, scolded Cooper.

And when Cooper shut up.

Lillen nodded her head to me before answering my question.

"It\'s so that I would still have connection with the academy even before graduating."

She said with such a sincere face.

\'Hm, nothing changed...\'

Everything about the student council event is the same as I remember.

Except that they\'re also inviting me and Blake in the student council.

"So you want me to join as a member too?"

I asked Lillen.

But she shook her head.

"Not just as a member."

Lillen said and smiled at me.

"I want you to be a freshman representative."

"Huh?"

Did I heard her right?

"You\'ll be the liaison between the freshmen and the seniors, do you want to do it?"

I thought I misheard Lillen, but it seems that I didn\'t.

\'Freshman representative...\'

A smile crept up on my face as I thought of that.

"If it\'s you, I know you can do it, but I wouldn\'t force you."

"I\'ll give you time to deci–"

"I\'ll do it."

And before Lillen can finish her words.

I casually gave her my answer.

"But in one condition."

And I talked again before they can even response.

"If you would use me, then let me use the student council too."

"Isn\'t that just fair?"

I added with a smirk.

And then, I saw Lillen frown at my words.

Well, not that I care.

Meanwhile...

"I\'m really sorry for his behavior."

Kendy is currently apologizing to Leo.

Leo looked at Kendy for some seconds, before opening his mouth.

"I told you it\'s fine."

He said.

"But Kendy..."

"Yes Sir?"

"Are you sure that Raven isn\'t contracted to any demon?"

Leo asked as he looks at the documents in his hands.

And what written in those are Raven\'s stats and data, including his background and other else!

"All I can say is that I can\'t feel any demonic energy from him."

Kendy answered.

"Then, is it really as he said, that he\'s just a genius?"

Leo asked again.

And his question made Kendy frowned.

"Well... Yes..."

Kendy forced himself to answer that one.

"I see..."

Leo muttered as he looks down at the documents in his hands again.

\'Do my responsibility, protect and nurture the students well and equally, huh...\'

And Leo remembered Raven\'s last words before he left.

"What a funny kid."

He mumbled as he smiled.

\'He probably still have a lot of secret...\'

Leo thought before facing Kendy again.

"Kendy."

"Yes Sir?!"

"Observe Raven."

Leo ordered.

"I got it!"

And Kendy immediately accepted it.

"Also, made an article about him."

Then Leo added.

"What do you mean headmaster?"

At Kendy\'s question, Leo smiled mischievously before opening his mouth.

"Let\'s shift the media\'s and the people\'s attention to Raven."

"So they would forget the incident about Sean and the others for a while."

Leo said.

"...And at that time, let\'s clean up the trashes in the academy, they\'re starting to smell."

Then he declared after.

And at his words, Kendy\'s mood improved!

"I will follow your order!"

He happily exclaimed.

"But about the article, what should we put?"

Kendy asked Leo.

Leo stood up from his seat and tapped Kendy\'s shoulder.

"The hidden prodigy!"

"The one who fought against the tyrant!"

"The one who have angelic black wings that is brutal to his enemies!"

Leo exclaimed in a happy tone, and looked straight at Kendy\'s eyes.

"The Dark Angel, Raven Obadiah!"

Then he declared!

But Kendy couldn\'t help but cringe at his words!

"Embarrassing to hear right?"

Leo asked.

"That would be Raven\'s punishment for setting one of the academy\'s building on fire."

"Heroes should have at least one embarrassing nickname, don\'t you think so?"

And when Leo said that, Kendy started to smile mischievously too!

"Oh, that\'s a very good plan headmaster."

"I know."

""HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!""

Then the two started laughing like crazy.

"I can\'t see Sean\'s name and his group in the ranking."

"Guess they\'re really gone huh."

I muttered while looking at the combat test ranking in the Lunar\'s webpage.

"But how the fuck did Blake became rank 3?"

Seeing his ranking made me frown, Blake was supposed to be just an extra!

[I don\'t know, but it\'s mostly likely the result of your actions.]

Then Sariel appeared and said to me.

"Fuck it, there\'s a new talented person so it\'s a good thing."

I grumbled and finally started eating breakfast.

I\'m too hungry to think about Blake.

And as I was eating, I started forming new plans in my head.

\'Ruby said that there wouldn\'t be any class this whole week, it\'s for us students to rest...\'

\'So I need to finish things soon.\'

I thought.

"I need to meet Ervin."

I mumbled.

Though, he got expelled too because he was always with Sean.

\'What a mess...\'

I thought as I scratched my head in annoyance.

[Oh, just in, Sean\'s father and mother got kicked out from their works too!]

But then a good news was given to me by Sariel!

"Tell me more about it."

I said.

[Sean\'s father works in the <Heroes Federation>, and because they don\'t want their image to be tainted, they fired him.]

[Meanwhile, Sean\'s mother is an executive in a fairly large women organization.]

[It looks like she already made a lot of enemies because of her bad personality; thus her enemies made used of this situation to bring her down.]

Sariel then immediately explained to me.

"Do I need to feel guilty?"

I asked him.

[No, they\'re demons like their only son.]

"I see... That\'s good to know."

I then replied and continued to eat happily.
