The Extra's Dominance



After minutes of reuniting with Keara, Ruby, and Levina...

Raven left the place with them.

He didn't care about the eyes focused on them.

He didn't even try to excuse himself to the others for the public affection he displayed with the girls!

And throughout the whole thing, nobody really said a word about it!

(Raven hurriedly left because he got a bit embarrassed.)

Just when Raven left that people started gossiping and talking to each other again!

And at the same time...

"He's really something else huh."-Alec

"Yeah, he's weird, like... Really weird."-Aoi

The group was talking about Raven's actions!

And what left the biggest impression on them was when Raven split the crowd with sheer presence!

Then...

"He must be exhausted."

Eve, who was standing beside Kendy, spoke while gazing at where Raven has just left.

And after hearing her voice, Kendy looked at her.

Feeling his eyes on her, Eve calmly looked back at Kendy...

Then she opened her mouth.

"I know you want Raven to do it, but he needs to rest–"

Eve mumbled before looking at Alec and the others.

"The others seem tired too, so I'll do the reporting instead and tell you what happened inside the labyrinth."

Then she continued.

Kendy remained silent.

He looked at Eve and the others, then he thought of Raven.

And after a few seconds of thinking...

"Haaa..."

Kendy let out a sigh and shook his head.

"You're the same, you need to rest too."

"The reporting can wait."

Then he said that in a clear voice!

"Oh, thanks then."

Eve immediately replied casually!

"..."

Kendy felt a sense of deja vu and became speechless.

And not minding it at all, Eve opened her mouth...

"Sir Kendy said we can all rest now and delay the reporting."

And after saying those words to others...

Tap- Tap- Tap-

Eve left without an ounce of hesitation!

"..."

Leaving Kendy alone with a complicated expression on his face!

"Woah, talk about harsh..."

"Maybe Raven and Eve are actually siblings."

"Maybe..."

Blake, Adelle, and Aoi mumbled after seeing Kendy speechless.

"....."

Alec and Curtis aren't saying anything, but they quite feel bad for their homeroom professor.

But that's all, they're too tired to socialize for long at the moment...

So without saying anything to Kendy, they left and headed to their respective dorms to rest...

*****

July 21, 2080, Tuesday...

[7:00 A.M.]

"Hm?"

Raven woke up after smelling something delicious.

He slowly opened his eyes and sat up on the bed...

And the first thing he noticed is that Keara wasn't beside him anymore.

Raven then looked back at his pillow.

-mhmm...

And saw Levina sleeping peacefully.

(Levina always sleeps on Raven's pillow, next to his face, when she's in her spirit form.)

"Good morning..."

Raven mumbled in a barely audible voice.

"Morning!"

-Kyuu!

And he received an energetic reply from Keara and Yuki, their voices came from the kitchen.

(5 people can lie down on Raven's bed, by the way, he brought it himself.)

Anyway, after hearing them, Raven got out of bed and fixed himself.

He also put clothes on...

(He was just wearing a boxer before, and you know why...)

Then, Raven went to the kitchen.

***

"..."

When Raven arrived at the kitchen, Raven was a bit surprised at what he saw.

It just didn't show on his face...

He expected to see Keara cooking breakfast, but that's not what he saw.

Keara was preparing the table.

And the one cooking... Was Ruby.

-Kyuu!

Yuki on the other hand, was flying around Keara and Ruby, she really missed both of them.

Anyway, Raven's attention was caught by Ruby.

'What's with her?'

Raven asked in his head while staring at her focused on cooking.

She was so focused that she didn't even notice Raven arriving.

As to why Raven is surprised, it's because Ruby doesn't know how to cook and she didn't even try to learn it.

How did he know?

It's because Raven wrote that specifically about Ruby in his novel for her character setting.

"Raven."

Then as Raven was looking at Ruby, he heard someone call for him.

The voice was soft and weak, but Raven recognized it and heard it clearly.

So he looked at Keara.

Keara was looking at him, she momentarily glanced at Ruby.

Then she approached Raven.

And after arriving in front of him, with a sweet smile on her face...

"She was practicing while you were away, she said that she wants to cook for you at least once."

Keara whispered.

"..."

Raven doesn't know what to say after that, he looked at Ruby and Keara back and forth.

Then after a while...

"I'm excited for today's breakfast."

Raven mumbled.

His ears were turning red, but his face remained calm.

Nevertheless, Keara still noticed that Raven was being bashful.

She was with him for quite a long time now after all, and Keara started to understand Raven's emotions more even though he was always wearing his poker face.

***

After a few minutes...

Ruby finished cooking and everyone in Raven's dorm was ready to eat.

Raven is seated between Keara and Ruby.

Levina is in her spirit form, so she's on top of the table with Yuki.

The food that Ruby cooked, the beef and mushroom lasagne, was also on top of the table.

It smells really good that Yuki and Levina are salivating.

Even Keara was excited to have a taste of it!

But even with their eager reaction to eat what she cooked...

"..."

Ruby was still nervous.

She just remembered a piece of information about Raven that her subordinates gave her.

It's that...

'Raven doesn't eat something that is cooked by the others!'

This information is true.

It has something to do with Raven being quite a germaphobe.

'I messed up, I was so excited to cook for him that I forgot that.'

Ruby thought.

'Now he wouldn't even eat what I made...'

She added as she became a little gloomy.

But then...

Raven grabbed his spoon.

"Huh?"

Attracting Ruby's attention.

Then using the spoon, Raven took a mouthful portion of the food that Ruby cooked!

"Thanks for the food."

Raven mumbled.

And without hesitation, he put the spoon full of food in his mouth and started to chew.

He didn't make any noise in doing so...

Gulp-

And after Raven swallowed it...

"..."

Ruby became silent as she looked at Raven with anticipation.

She was still surprised that Raven ate a bit of her cooking, but now she was waiting for his reaction.

Raven then looked at Ruby.

And with a small smile on his face...

"It's delicious, I want to eat more of your cooking in the future."

Raven declared that!

His words were genuine on top of that!

And hearing his words made Ruby really happy that she couldn't help but broke out a smile!

She's grinning ear to ear like an idiot!

'Cute.'

Raven unconsciously thought after seeing Ruby like that.

Also, Ruby wasn't the only one happy after hearing Raven's words, Keara was also happy for Ruby, she knows how much effort Ruby put into this after all.

"Let's eat!"

Ruby then exclaimed happily.

"Thanks for the food."

-Kyuu

-Yay!

Keara, Yuki, and Levina replied and started getting their portion of Ruby's beef and mushroom lasagne.

And with that, they all happily eat together while telling stories of what happened to them in the past week.
