[Raven's POV]
"~~~~~!!!"
I can hear loud yellings while I'm inside the [Celestria].
"So damn noisy..."
I grumbled, massaging my temple as my head hurts a lot.
And the noise outside is making it worse!
Crack-!
"Krrrgh... Fucking hell."
I weakly muttered as I bit my lower lip.
It's not just my head, my whole body hurts!
My bones are being rearranged again and again, and every time that happens, it feels like they're breaking!
Not just that, every muscle in my body is expanding and shrinking, and in that process, it feels like someone is digging through my flesh!
"~~~~!"
"~~~!"
I then heard loud noise again from the outside of my self-made dome.
I can't understand them as my head hurts too much to process what they are saying and doing.
Also, because of the continuous radiating pain I'm feeling, I was in a foul mood.
The noise is fucking annoying me!
But I couldn't do anything as I'm still on my knees suffering from pain!
And what else, there's someone trying to disrupt the flow of my mana!
If I lose focus even for a second, my self-made dome will disappear and everyone will see me in this pathetic state!
'I wouldn't let that happen...'
I declared internally as I made my mana denser and controlled them better.
...
[The application of <Body Reconstruction(ES)> was successful!]
"Haa... Haa..."
Heavy and exhausted breathes escaped my mouth as I looked at the transparent window that appeared in front of me.
I'm lying on the ground as I couldn't move my body earlier because of the pain.
The intense pain continued for minutes, but it felt like hours for me!
But now, the pain stopped, and the system said that my body reconstruction was successful.
Which made me sighed in relief.
'What's that (ES) thing?'
I asked inwardly as it's the 1st time I saw it so I got curious about it.
But before finding out the answer, I tried moving my body.
I can move once again after the pain stopped!
My hands and arms feels lighter, the same for my feet and legs.
No, it's my whole body that is lighter!
My body seems more built than before as my muscles were divided perfectly to my body, they also feels more solid now.
A lot of changes happened to my body and it feels weird moving around.
So I familiarized myself first in the changes before immediately standing up.
'The floor was cold as fuck...'
I thought, looking at the white shiny marble-like floor that I was lying on just now.
Patting my uniform to remove some dust on it, I then noticed that I smell like shit.
Black and thick smelly liguid is covering me!
And soon I felt them inside my mouth, my nose and my ears too!
"<Cleanse>!"
I immediately cleaned myself, then I stored all the liquid in my spatial storage.
The disgust on my face just ceased to exist when the liquid was nowhere to be seen and I don't smell like shit anymore.
But because I just got dirty, my mood got worse...
"~~~~~~~!!!"
Then I heard another loud noise outside the dome.
"Why can't they shut up..."
Swoosh-
I grumbled, then I reformed [Celestria] back into a ring.

(Back to the present.)
Raven's appearance stunned everyone in the classroom.
And Raven is confused at what's happening.
"Now that's a huge glow up..."
Adelle mumbled, breaking the silence in the room.
Following her words, whisperings started to spread around the room, and most of them are from the girls.
Obviously, their topic is Raven's new look.
"What the hell did you do?!"
It was then, Pete exclaimed while pointing at Raven.
Raven tilted his head in confusion.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
He unconsciously muttered, forgetting that Pete is still his professor.
"Don't joke with me! I know you did something to your body."
Not that Pete noticed Raven's rudeness as his care at the moment is focused on Raven's sudden glow up.
As mentioned earlier, Pete is handsome, his face and charm are all just a bit below than Curtis and Alec.
But because Raven suddenly got handsome and his look is on the same level as Alec's and Curtis'.
That means that Pete's handsomeness is below Raven's.
"Now tell me, what did you do?!"
Pete asked again. He was confident before that he's at least more handsome than Raven, thus he deserves Ruby more, but when that advantage disappeared, he got very angry at Raven.
That's when Raven understood that a lot had change in his appearance.
Raven was kinda curious too, so he opened his status.
'Status.'
With his single thought, a transparent window appeared in front of Raven.

"Wha... Umm, what the fuck..."
Raven don't know what to say after seeing his new updated stats.
He was of course shocked!
Raven is just blankly staring at his 'Charm' rank, he's so focused in that to the point that he didn't notice that his 'Strength' and 'Stamina' rose a rank...
Now, Raven was so curious at his new appearance, why wouldn't he? His charm stat just rose by 5 ranks!
Raven then relentlessly scanned around. Then his eyes paused on the bathroom inside their room.
'There must be a mirror there...'
He thought.
Raven didn't enter their classroom's bathroom even once since the start of the academy as in his mind, public bathrooms are dirty.
But Raven ignored that fact for a bit as he stepped forward!
"Hm...?"
But he was then stopped by a mana barrier, it's like a dome too and it's a clear transparent light blue.
"The fuck is this thing doing here?"
Raven asked with an annoyed voice, his words shocked everyone and all of them looked at Pete.
Pete was enraged, he was angry at Raven to begin with, but his words just now made him even more pissed.
Pete opened his mouth and was about to talk...
When Raven placed his right hand on top of his mana barrier.
Then with a frown.
"<Devour>"
Raven uttered.
At his word, everyone's eyes went back to him again because of curiosity.
Then they all saw a black shadow like thing erupted from Raven's right hand and it covered a small part of Pete's mana barrier.
Swoosh-
"?!"
Then they all widened their eyes in surprise,again!
Pete's mana barrier disappeared in thin air as it was like absorbed by Raven's weird shadow thing.
After absorbing the mana barrier, Raven immediately and casually walked away and headed toward the bathroom.
And arriving in front of the bathroom...
Click-
Raven opened the door and went inside then he immediately closed the door, not paying attention to anyone.
On the other hand, everyone just silently watched him go and do his thing.
Eve, Alec, Blake, Curtis, Aoi, and Adelle were looking at him with an odd look that's containing a lot of emotions.
But one this is for sure, everyone in the classroom was surprised.
They remembered Alec, the strongest among the freshmen students, and even Blake who has nothing to scoff at in terms of strength.
The both of them are struggling to even put a crack on Pete's mana barrier.
But Raven completely removed that same mana barrier with ease.
'He's really full of surprises...'
Everyone thought as they all saw what events happened this morning in a short amount of time!
Raven surprised them every time.
His ability to make a mana barrier, his sudden change of appearance, and his weird mana or magic cancelling skill.
Some of them are envious of Raven, some showed favor, some felt respect and awe toward him.
And some harbored hatred against him.
Especially Pete.
