{Raven's POV}
"I caught you."
I mischievously said to Alec while he's under my right foot and lying on the ground.
And looking at his face, I can pretty much guess he's shocked and confused at what happened to him.
Well, I'll be like that too if I'm in his situation where the technique I'm working hard on was countered by someone who saw it for the first time.
'Though, I was just able to counter it because I have a fitting skill against it, and I already know pretty much everything about spatial barrage.'
But the surprising thing is, Alec was supposed to invent [Spatial Barrage] during the second major event in the novel.
And right now, the first event just ended.
'Did I cause it too, or the Higher Beings?'
I asked inwardly.
'Did his motivation to train skyrocketed after knowing he has another competition?'
That resulted for Alec to improvised a technique much earlier than in the novel?
'Well, whatever.'
