The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 102 A Calm Day

[Raven's POV]

I just told Alec and the others the good news I received from Sir Kendy when I met him on my way here.

But for some reason, I feel like I forgot something I was about to do.

So, I tried recalling what is it...

"And here I thought you're gonna ask about the article about you."

And then Blake suddenly spoke!

His words immediately caught my attention, so I snapped my head toward him.

Then with a frown...

"What did you just said?"

I asked him.

"Huh?"

Blake seems to be a bit taken aback by my reaction.

But still, he opened his mouth.

"I said I thought you're gonna ask about the article–"

"What article?"

I suddenly asked while Blake is in the middle of his explanation.

And at my question, Blake, Alec, Adelle, Aoi, Eve, and even Curtis looked at me like I was weird.

I know they do that often because I'm already weird myself.

But their gazes now feels like they're saying that I'm ignorant about something that's known by everyone!

And it's not just them, my other classmates that heard my question are also looking at me like that!

And that's when I realized...

'Something's happening in my life without me knowing again.'

"!"

It was then, my eyes widened after I remembered something!

'Now I remember what I forgot earlier!'

I exclaimed inside my head.

'I was planning to ask Alec and the others if they know something about why everyone is looking at me more weirdly than usual.'

That slipped out of my mind earlier because of excitement when Sir Kendy told me a very pleasant news!

"You don't know that there's an article about you posted in the Academy's page?"

Blake then asked me.

And before I could even reply to him...

"Actually, not just one."

Adelle talked.

"When the article about you gained a lot of attention after just few hours of it being posted..."

"Various new articles about you started popping out like wild mushrooms all over the internet."

She stated!

"So it's actually surprising to know that you don't know anything about it."

Then Adelle added!

Her words struck me in the head and I feel like such an idiot!

"I didn't know..."

I replied to her and Blake.

I'm currently having complicated mixed emotions about the news I just got.

"It's a hot topic in the internet and it's about you, but you don't know anything about it?"

And that's when I heard Eve's mocking voice!

I looked at her.

And she smirked at me!

"Do you not know anything about the internet?"

She asked me!

"Ugh..."

I groaned.

'I hate her nerve.'

And I thought.

'I just wasn't able to surf the internet yesterday because I was planning for the next event of the novel that's gonna happen next month!'

I exclaimed in my head.

"What an idiot."

Then I heard Curtis muttered!

I was about to say something back to him...

"So you don't know what people have been calling you?"

But Aoi suddenly asked me curiously.

"Huh?"

I asked her back like an idiot.

"People had given you many nicknames you know!"

And I received a reply from Alec, he seems to be pretty high-spirited too.

"They gave me what?"

I asked him with a deeper frown on my face.

"Nicknames!"

And Alec happily replied.

He didn't stop after that as he continued speaking.

"How cool is that!"

"A nickname, I would like to have one too in the future."

Alec excitedly mumbled to himself.

And I'm just looking at him with still a frown on my face.

'You and the others would received yours too in the future, so don't worry.'

I thought as I glanced at Curtis and the others.

'Not sure about Blake though...'

Anyway, I shook my head, and I looked back at Alec.

"So, what are the nicknames that I got?"

Then I asked him.

Alec's eyes twinkled at my question.

"It's–!"

And after that, he immediately started telling me the names people gave me.

Also, Alec, Adelle, Blake, and Aoi told me everything about the article of me that spread throughout the internet.

While Eve is just reading something on her phone.

Dunno what is it, and I'm not interested.

On the other hand, Curtis doesn't really care about me, so he just silently observed Eve, trying not disturb her.

And I applaud Eve's concentration to be still able to read peacefully while a creep is watching her...

"The black angel-like wings you used in the combat test was really eye-catching, so it became your icon."

"That's why most people call you [The Dark Angel]."

Blake explained to me with an excited smile on his face.

It's been around 20 minutes since him and the others started telling me about the article of me and the nicknames that I received from the people.

And it seems like I'm missing something bigger than I expected.

'You fucker, so this is what you've been hiding to me earlier huh.'

I said in my mind. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

[Hehe, it was funny to see how conscious you are about the other people's gazes without knowing the reason why they're looking at you like that.]

Then Sariel appeared and replied to me.

'Fuck you Sariel.'

[Fuck you too.]

And while Sariel and me are arguing inside of my head.

"But still, why do you think the academy made an article about you?"

Aoi suddenly asked me.

"Now that I think about it, it was pretty random huh."

And Adelle followed.

"Maybe it's because Raven did a good job?"

After that, Alec suggested.

"Yeah, that's the only reason I can think of."

And Blake agreed on him.

After then, the others started agreeing on Alec's words too.

Not me though, I already have a rough idea why the academy published an article about me.

'It's mostly the headmaster's idea...'

'He probably wants to take the people's attention off in the academy's scandal about Sean and his group.'

'And did that by giving me the spotlight!'

I exclaimed inside my mind.

'Damn you Leo, I'll make sure to remember this...'

The headmaster's plan is working very effectively seeing how Alec and the others aren't even mentioning Sean and his group.

Though, this happening isn't bad to me to be honest.

Because everyone's attention from Sean and his group got shifted to me, no one will notice their disappearance.

And even if someone did, nobody will pay attention to them at this point to be honest.

Also adding the fact that my trait, <I Like The Spotlight>, is using all of the attention I'm getting to boost my growth.

'I can't really get angry to Leo for using me.'

With this, I think I can rank up again sooner or later...

Oh, and luckily, my face isn't clearly visible in my live stream when I'm beating the shit out of Sean and his group.

And the picture everyone have of me is my past appearance, when I'm still not going through the [Body Reconstruction].

So I can still be able to go out without gaining much attention.

(He actually can't, Raven's new appearance make him stand out in the crowd... So except he really try hiding, he'll receive many attention.)

Swoosh-

Click-

It was then, a professor finally arrived.

And it was Ruby. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

We decided to act like a proper student and a teacher when she's teaching our class.

So while she was preparing her things to teach us.

I suddenly thought of something.

'Man, I wasn't even able to visit my parents and Nisha last week even once.'

'And there's even no academy last whole week.'

This is because I took care of Sean and his group, I also prepared a lot as I said earlier...

'The second major event is destined to happen next month.'

I don't know if the time will change again because of the Higher Beings, so I prepared much earlier just to be sure.

'Oh, I just remembered...'

'I promised Nisha that we would see each other pretty often because our new house is just a city away from the academy.'

But like I said, I wasn't able to visit them, or even call them last week!

I'm sure mom and dad are mad at me, and Nisha will probably sulk again...

'Just thinking about it is making me a bit sad.'

"Haaa..."

'I'll just make sure to visit them as soon as I can.'

I promised to myself.

Then after that, I focused back on Ruby.

She's still preparing something.

'She helped me a lot, and I was able to succeed on taking care of Sean and his group only because of Ruby...'

"I should probably pay her back."

I mumbled.

'Maybe I should give her another dungeon?'

I thought.

But I shook my head and just decided to ask Ruby herself what she wants later.

And not long after that, Ruby started her lecture.

It's easy to me to learn even without listening, but I don't want to disrespect Ruby's effort by not paying attention to her while she's teaching.

So I made sure to focus on her and her lecture.

***

That day ended peacefully for Raven and the others without any problem occurring to them.

Now, what do we call it again?

Ah yes, the calm before the storm...
