[Raven's POV]
"We're starting at the freshmen."
Lana said to me.
"Oh, I can handle that."
And I replied casually.
By the way, we're talking about announcing the incoming field trip next week to the students.
And part of our job is to make the students willingly join the field trip.
"What do you mean? Are you saying you can convince every freshman by yourself?"
Lana then asked me after hearing my words.
And instead of answering her, I just shrugged my shoulders.
Then I stood up and cleaned myself using magic.
Lana is still looking at me with questioning eyes...
"I know someone who can do the job for us."
So I told her my plan.
"What?"
She seems to be confused by my words.
But I couldn't care less.
"Just follow me."
I said to Lana...
Tap- Tap- Tap-
Then I started walking toward the training ground's door.
"..."
Lana just watched me walk away for a couple of seconds...
Tap- Tap- Tap-
But in the end, she really has no choice but to follow me.
'The quicker we convince the students to join, the more time I will have to train.'
I thought as I walked.
My destination is the freshmen's building, or to be specific, [CLASS A-1]'s classroom.
*****
As Lana is following Raven from behind...
"..."
She noticed that Raven is back to normal.
To the version of Raven who has a very small care around him.
"Seems like you're back to normal, good for you."
Lana said.
She's just being polite.
"Thanks, and sorry for the trouble I caused you."
Raven then replied without even looking back or stopping at his track.
"It's nothing, I know you don't mean everything you said while under the drug's side effects."
Just when Lana said that...
Did Raven slow down his pace a little bit.
He then looked behind him, or to be specific, he looked at Lana.
Lana can see him frowning really bad.
'What's wrong with him?'
Lana asked herself in her head.
Meanwhile, Raven is just annoyed.
He's annoyed at what Lana just said.
Raven remembered everything he said to Lana, he remembered every compliment he told her.
And those compliments, they were genuine...
And right now, Lana is thinking he was joking or not being serious when he said that.
Which made Raven feel frustrated.
He remembered Lana's description that he wrote in the past...
'She's beautiful, intelligent, strong, and hardworking...'
'But she's underestimating herself.'
'She doesn't think highly of herself... And she always thinks that Lillen is way better than her.'
"You're always humbling yourself, it's frustrating."
Raven mumbled while looking at Lana.
"What?"
And of course, Lana was confused at why he said that.
Raven wasn't in the mood to explain things, and even if he is, he doesn't plan to tell Lana anyways.
So he just looked back in front of him again and started walking a little bit faster...
...
In the novel, Lana fell in love with the protagonist, Alec.
But as Raven wrote in his novel, Alec has a crush on Lillen.
And later in the novel, Lillen then will develop the same feelings for Alec.
Lana will be aware of this, and because of her admiration for Lillen.
She would decide to hide her feelings for Alec.
'I wouldn't win against her after all.'
This is what she thought as she hides her feelings.
And so later, Alec and Lillen became a couple.
And Lana was unable to even confess her feelings.
While the two became a happy couple, Lana was left alone, supporting their relationship.
Acting like everything's normal, even though Lana feels shit every time she sees them together...
...
"... Fuck."
Raven mumbled as he remembered those events in his novel.
Tap-
He then stopped walking.
"Hm?"
And Lana did the same.
Raven turned to Lana.
Then with a frown on his face...
"Everything that I said to you yesterday, and the day before..."
"I was serious with them."
Raven declared that.
"Wha–"
Lana was about to say something...
Tap- Tap- Tap-
But Raven, annoyed, immediately turned his back on her and started walking again.
"You think too low of yourself, it's annoying from the perspectives of who can see your worth."
Raven grumbled as he walked away.
"..."
Leaving Lana alone and speechless.
She doesn't know what to do, and she doesn't quite understand what happened.
Though, Raven's last words were stuck in her head.
Lana remained motionless for a while...
Tap- Tap- Tap-
Then she started following Raven after.
She caught up to him.
"..."
But Lana can't find a word to say to Raven.
"..."
Raven is the same.
(Raven is very tired after training for hours non-stop, and when he's super tired, he's very moody and is easily annoyed.)
(Also adding the fact that Raven is stressing over finding a way to surpass his rank limit.)
*****
Not long, Raven and Lana reached [CLASS A-1]'s classroom.
They didn't talk on the way after Raven snapped a little.
But Raven has calmed down now and is now wearing his calm expression.
Shiii–
Tap-
Upon opening the classroom's door and entering...
Raven noticed that there was no professor inside, just students.
"..."
"..."
Everyone in the room went silent as they looked at Raven.
It also took them a while to notice Lana, that's just how big Raven's presence is!
'This classroom is weird...'
Lana thought as she looked around.
Then she glanced at Raven.
He's giving off a very dominating aura.
'He's the weirdest one here, so he's the leader.'
Lana though.
Anyway...
"..."
Raven looked around.
He noticed that Alec and the others are not in the room.
'They must be training, good.'
He concluded.
Then he started searching for someone.
And after seeing the person he's searching for...
"You."
Raven called for them.
"Huh? Me?"
"Yes, you."
Raven replied, then he pointed in front of him...
"Come here."
And commanded that.
"O-Okay!"
The person he was talking to immediately stood up, and approached him.
'What the...'
Lana is confused at what she's seeing, but this is actually a normal sight for the [CLASS A-1], so no one said a word about it.
Anyway, upon arriving in front of Raven...
The person bowed their heads, avoiding Raven's eyes. (For several reasons.)
Not that Raven minds...
"I have a job for you."
He said to the person in front of him.
Then he slouched near their ears...
"And if you do it... I'll let you keep doing that fan club thing."
And whispered that to them!
The person Raven is talking to is none other than, Jeanna Avyl!
The founder of [Black Feathers], or Raven's fan club!
"..."
At Raven's words, Jeanna became nervous.
'He knows.'
She thought.
"What do I need to do?"
Jeanna asked, finally looking at Raven's face.
Though it didn't last long, she blushed so hard after seeing Raven's face, so she bowed her head once again.
"This is what you need to do."
Raven mumbled.
Then he faced where the students were sitting.
Lana and Jeanna followed his gaze.
And upon noticing Raven looking in their direction...
The whole class fixed themselves and focused on Raven.
"There's gonna be a field trip next week, Wednesday, it'll be for 5 days."
Raven declared.
And immediately after that...
"You guys should join."
He followed.
""Okay!""
Every person in the class then replied in unison.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "... This is creepy."
Lana mumbled after witnessing that.
Raven heard her, but he agrees with her words, it is indeed creepy that everyone in his class is obedient to him.
But it's convenient...
So Raven just ignored Lana.
Instead, he looked back at Jeanna, who was in awe after seeing Raven command everyone in the classroom...
"That's what you should do, convince every freshman to join the incoming field trip."
Then Raven said that.
"You up to it?"
He asked Jeanna.
Then with a smile...
"It'll be easy."
Jeanna answered.
"Good."
Raven said.
Then he turned his back to her and was about to leave...
"After this, we can openly run the [Black Feathers], right?"
But he suddenly heard Jeanna's voice.
Raven looked at her again, he could see her being nervous.
Then with a smirk...
"Sure, do whatever you want."
Shiii–
Shooo–
Raven replied and left.
