Chapter 221 Raven Is Crazy
They entered the gate and proceeded through the decayed bush... in silence.
But this time, the silence was very devastating.
Because obviously there was tension between Raven and Northern, and none of them was saying anything about it.
Terence seemed to be the only one suffering as a result of the tension. She wanted to just scream several times, but she just looked at both of them and smiled.
She could easily tell that this was probably something they needed to sort out themselves.
Whatever would flow out of it needed to flow out, for both their sakes and most especially for Raven.
Because deep down... Terence felt she was also stupid and needed to grow up.
But Raven was tremendously egotistic; the crazy part was she didn't even see herself as such.
The things she did, her crazy way of handling people sometimes seemed like control, but she didn't see it as that.
To her, she was just genuinely helping them to see their potential.
Everyone had misunderstood her in the beginning, but now, everyone had come to respect her.
Because her true intent was only what mattered in the end.
Still, Terence felt it was time for Raven to start being more conscious about her character.
She knew nothing at all! Nothing!
And sometimes, she too could be naive. All she needed to get played was someone way smarter and stronger than her.
Terence was sure Raven would get played without even realizing it.
She was a genius through and through, but she was a clueless one.
Finally, after millennia of silence, Northern spoke.
"I thought that we should have started seeing people by now."
"No, we can't. This place is a backdoor for a reason."
"Why? Why aren't there people?"
Raven pointed over her shoulder with her thumb.
"Isn't it obvious?"
Her tone annoyed Northern, but he put up with it and glanced back.
"The woods... that makes a lot of sense."
Saying that suddenly made him realize something yet again!
If all this could happen just in one day, what awaited him in the future?
Northern was sure he would be mentally dead before he came.
Because none of this girl's actions and thought patterns made any sense.
It didn't make any sense at all!
"Crap... crap!"
"Northern..." Raven tried to call softly...
...But Northern was still in his head.
"Crap, crap, crap, crap."
"Northern..."
"What?!" He screamed back to reality.
"What is it?!"
Raven swallowed her spit.
"You're shouting, we are very close to the back of the stronghold, and Helena's abode is located there... if you keep shouting like that, it will only be a matter of time before she catches onto us, and our plan goes up in flames."
She sternly made her point... even glaring at Northern.
After hearing her, Northern recomposed himself and sighed deeply.
"I apologize for my behavior just now... I'm sorry, but I have one more question. Now that you mention it... remember you said we are here to do two things..."
"Yes. Northern... yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, the person I owe a death grudge to is Afkon, and I will kill him before leaving this place."
Northern's mouth fell.
This time, even Terence turned her head to look at Raven with a stunned surprise.
"No... Light, you don't mean that. Afkon?"
She looked at the Oracle.
"Yes, I do, Terence." Then she turned her eyes to Northern, they were burning with a ferocious amount of conviction.
One could tell by the look in her eyes that nothing on this Tra-el could make her think otherwise.
She opened her mouth, looking right into Northern's face as she spoke.
"Do you know... that Afkon and Helena are what's left of the first generation of students that was sent here ten years ago."
Northern's brows furrowed.
"What?"
