July 23, 2080, Thursday.
[5:00 A.M.]
"Urgh..."
Raven woke up and clenched his head tightly using both of his hands.
lightsΝοvel "Fuck..."
Raven cursed out quietly as Keara, Yuki, and Levina are still sleeping beside him.
But as to why he is cursing...
It's because of the drug's side effect that made him loose-lipped and pretty shameless...
Has finally lost its effect.
It was supposed to end yesterday, but Ruby gave Raven a pill that has similar effects as the drugs given to him the other day, just a little bit weaker, because she's worried that he's still in pain.
And seeing Ruby genuinely worried for him, Raven was unable to reject her.
That's why the effect was extended until now!
Anyway, that's what happened.
The effect is already gone, and Raven has recovered too.
"Grgh..."
Though, he's dying inside...
"I can't believe this..."
Raven clearly remembered everything he has done while under the drug's side effects.
(Thanks to his improved memory, lol.)
And he probably wouldn't forget it while he's still alive...
(Unless he gets amnesia.)
"Ugh... Cringe, I'm gonna die from embarrassment..."
Raven mumbled as he tries to remove the memories he had made these past 2 days.
[I can't believe I'm saying this... But I'm glad you're back to normal.]
Sariel then suddenly appeared and said that.
Raven looked at the floating transparent window in front of him...
"Yeah, me too."
Then he replied.
'I should just go on with my life, I can't go back to the past and slap myself... I'm just gonna act normal.'
And resolved himself to just act like nothing happened.
So with that, Raven got out of bed and headed to the kitchen.
And there, he started preparing breakfast for himself, Keara, Levina, and Ruby.
Raven also took out <E-> rank monster cores and crushed them for Yuki when she woke up.
*****
Half an hour later...
Keara, Yuki, and Levina woke up.
They smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen.
So they immediately got up and went there.
Upon entering the kitchen, they saw Raven placing various dishes on the table.
He noticed their presence, so he looked at them.
Then with a warm smile...
"Good morning."
Raven greeted them.
"Good morning."
Keara replied with a sweet smile.
-Gooood morning!
Then Levina followed energetically.
-Kyuu!
Yuki greeted Raven in the same way and she flew around Raven with such enthusiasm.
"Go clean yourselves first, then let's eat."
Raven said.
-Kyuu!
-Got it!
And Levina, along with Yuki, followed his instructions.
Meanwhile, Keara remained in her place...
"..."
She's just looking at Raven without saying anything.
'He's back to normal.'
Keara thought as she looks at Raven.
(Keara, Ruby, and Levina know the drug's side effects and that it affected Raven....)
Anyway, Keara is happy that the normal Raven is back, but at the same time... She's quite sad.
Not because she doesn't like the normal Raven, it's just that Keara really likes it when Raven compliments her.
'Well, I still love him, very much.'
Keara thought as she smiled ear to ear.
She then turned to where the sink was to wash her face.
And as she was about to walk towards it...
"You look beautiful today as well."
Raven spoke.
His voice wasn't loud... Just enough for Keara to hear it.
Keara then immediately turned to look at Raven.
Then she saw him looking at her while smiling.
Which made her blush.
Keara doesn't know what to say... But after a few seconds.
"... Thanks."
She just decided to thank Raven.
"Why are you thanking me? I'm just stating a fact."
Raven responded.
"Really? Even though I just woke up and I look like a mess?"
And Keara jokingly asked.
(Her hair and clothes are messy, they had a wild night... Of course, Yuki and Levina weren't watching them, they were left with Ruby at that time :v)
Anyway, after hearing Keara's question.
Raven immediately opened his mouth...
"In my eyes, you're always beautiful."
Then he replied.
"..."
Keara was left speechless, her face is beetroot red now.
She wasn't expecting Raven to say that... Well, not without the drug's side effects.
"I-I'm gonna go and wash my face."
"Take your time."
So Keara chose to flee to hide her embarrassment.
When Keara went to the sink to wash her face...
[What was that...?]
Sariel appeared and asked Raven.
[I thought you don't like saying things like that?]
He asked him.
Then with a casual shrug...
"I can make an exception for her."
Raven replied.
*****
After that...
Ruby arrived at Raven's room before they could start eating breakfast.
Raven expected it as Ruby eats breakfast every day with them.
So he also cooked something for her.
And with that, they all ate breakfast happily.
With Keara being in a super good mood.
...
After eating breakfast with the girls...
Raven decided to not take any classes today and focus on training.
(He can do that because he's a member of the Student Council, this is also the main reason why he joined them.)
Anyway, Raven ran all around the academy 2 times while wearing his weight bracelets.
2 attached on his wrists, and 2 on his ankles.
Each of them weighs 90 kilograms.
He ran for about 25 minutes.
Raven then went to the private training grounds for professors and trained his shooting skills there.
(Raven is allowed to use the training grounds for professors at the moment because Ruby and Leo gave him permission to.)
After practicing his shooting skills for an hour...
Raven then practiced his sword skills and techniques.
He did it for an hour too, and began practicing magic after that!
He practiced his magic skills for 2 hours, and after finishing with that...
Raven grabbed a spear for the first time!
He then searched the internet for basic spear skills and techniques...
And after a few minutes of researching, Raven started practicing his spear skills!
That's not all, Raven practiced a few more weapons he was unfamiliar with after that!
And because of his trait, <Understanding>, he was able to learn the basics of all the weapons he practiced in no time!
'I'll be stuck in <D> rank for quite a while, so I'll do anything I can to get stronger at the moment.'
That is what's on Raven's mind the whole time he's training!
*****
[5:00 P.M.]
Raven is currently resting.
"Haaa... Haaa..."
He's desperate for strength, but he knows that he shouldn't push himself that much so he can fight anytime.
(In case something unexpected happens.)
Shiii–
That was when the training ground's door opened...
Tap-
And a familiar person entered, looking at Raven with unreadable eyes.
"Is it time?"
Raven asked while looking at the figure approaching him.
'Dark purple hair, with a pair of enchanting purple eyes.'
'She has such a cute face and a petite body.'
'And she's always wearing a serious face.'
'I feel bad for the blind people who wouldn't be able to see her beauty.'
These are what Raven thought of the person standing in front of him.
Then looking down at the sitting Raven in front of her...
"Yes, we're starting at the freshmen."
Lana answered Raven's question.
