Federation Academy, Zone 7
Micheal and some other people sat around a table as they watched a live broadcast of the exploration. Micheal sat directly facing the live broadcast while the others were around. They were about 9 in number. The people sitting in this room are the higher echelons in charge of Zone 7 Academy, with Micheal at the head, there were 6 men including Micheal and four women.
"You know our reasons for gathering here?" Micheal said as his eyes didn't leave the screen.
"Of course, it's to pick students who would be qualified to mentor under us, adding to those from the previous years, we are creating our own special forces, right??" a feminine looking man said as he licked his lips, he stared at Micheal flirtaously.
"Dian...control yourself!" a tanned skinned woman said as she frowned at the feninine man who flicked his dark hair.
"Stop being a killjoy, Sarah, it's not he complained" Dian winked at the woman whose frown deepened in disgust.
"How many D orders have we groomed these past years?" Micheal suddenly asked.
Dr. Zeckfred who sat closer to the live broadcast on the right looked over at Micheal, "Eagle Society has groomed 50 D orders and 10 are about to cross into the C order "
The woman who was sitting directly in front of Dr. Zeckfred, her bangs covered her eyes making her looking eerie coupled with the black clothe she wore, she gave off the vibe of a scary person." Wasp Society, 70 D orders and 5 about to be C orders"
Micheal nodded as he listened as they gave their accounts, when everyone had given theirs they looked at him. He looked away from the screen and looked at the masculine woman by his left, "Col. Bee, what about Hiro... what level in the D order is he?"
Bee frowned, but her frown disappeared in an instant as soon as it came, "Level 130"
"That's a good improvement, but if he lacks behind and start plotting tricks, the new guy would surpass him" Micheal said earning him stares from the people around the table.
"What new guy??" Dian asked with curiousity brimming in his feline like eyes.
"Flood dragon Society, 100 D orders, 50 almost to C order" Micheal ignored the question, as he stared at the top end of the screen, seeing the situation, he immediately frowned.
Was there an interference?
Meanwhile, Raven dodged a laser as he sled across the ground, he jumped immediately from his location as it was immediately punched by a huge spiked fist.
He distanced himself as he stared at his two assailant and gasped fro air. Standing some distances away from Raven were two berserkers, one was a female the other a male.
The male was sort of a type of mutation, he had red skin and a 7 meters huge body, accompanied with spikes on his arms, it's eyes were ferocious as it stared at Raven, it's tongue kept lashing out of it's mouth. Raven had scanned it and gotten an information that it was a berserker with a lizard mutation and a strength like attribute.
The female looked more normal, except for her a third eye that appeared on her head and in her palms. She was a berserker with a laser type attribute with a marksman skill.
"We make a good team, don't we, Elly?" the make berserker said with a gruff voice as his tongue lashed against his lips.
"If we do, we wouldn't be wasting about 5 minutes to take down this guy, besides look at your wounds, Cain" Elly said as she stared at Raven who was walking side by side as he stared at them.
Raven stared at the tree where a girl sat as she innocently stared at the scene happening down below her, seeing the girl like this made him annoyed. It was as if the berserkers couldn't see her, only he could. He dodged a grab as he stepped back and ducked and punched out at several lasers that attacked him. He frowned as he punched the fist of Cain creating a shockwave around them, then they began to exchange punches with each other, Raven immediately pulled pack as the place he was still standing was pulverized by lasers.
How did I fall into this situation?
/Flashback/
Raven wore his clothes as he stared vigilantly at the girl, as soon as he pulled his top over his head, he didn't see the girl again but immediately felt a weigt on his back.
Seriously?
He wriggled the girl off as she fell on her buttocks and looked up at Raven with doe eyes, which made him frown.
"What do you want?" Raven asked as he bent down to her level and looked at her eye to eye.
"You.... Me...." She said as she made a an "X" sign with her hands making Raven to raise an eyebrow.
"Eh... That's not possible young girl, it's quite dangerous out here, you should go back to where you came from" Raven said as he stood up and walked away, he hadn't walked far when he had sobbing sounds, he turned around and saw the girl crying quietly. He was about to walk up to her when he was suddenly attacked by a beast.
Really? ...
As her sobs continued, more beasts appeared.
Damn!, and ain't you all seeing the girl behind you, Raven whined inwardly as he fought. It was as if the beasts couldn't see the girl.
"Shit!!" He cursed as he entered battle mode.
/Presently/
Raven groaned as he tore a piece of his shirt and tied it around his bleeding arm, which was caused by Elly's laser grazing him, the smell of burnt flesh was in the air. Raven was getting pretty much annoyed, he didn't notice how his pupils were flashing between it's usual black to red.
[System detecting anomaly within host]
[System would take pre...]
Raven who was staring like a beast at Elly and Cain who seem to become uneasy. As Raven stood there, a black and red aura began to emanate from him, the aura congealed and formed a illusonary body of a human, but this human seem more like a fiend. Raven clenched his fists as his pupils have suddenly turned blood red. The girl on the tree looked at this scene as her eyes twinkled, "Emperor...."
Elly and Cain shifted on their feets, for some reason they couldn't stop the way their heart was thumping.
"What...what is this?" Cain asked as his normally gruff voice was shaken.
Elly did not respond as she stared at Raven who just stood there.
[Skill Unlocked: Devil King Awaken]
The system's voice wasn't robotic, but seem to have life in it.
[You're the Devil King, the one who rules with an iron fist!]
As soon as the system spoke, Raven grinned and he disappeared from his position.

------------
It was like Raven's system had a glitch, the aura had already receded into Raven's body, everything else looked normal except his eyes which had ferocity in them, accompanied by his now red pupils.
Micheal and high echelons, Elizabeth, Hiro and the other three people plus others who were watching the live broadcast, noticed how Raven's broadcast immediately disconnected. Micheal frowned as he immediately sat up. Elizabeth clenched her fists as she folded her hands while Hiro smiled.
Meanwhile, Raven stood above Elly who was laying her back against a rock as she stared fearfully at Raven who was looking down at her with a smile that wasn't a smile. At the side, Cain kaud in his own pool of blood. Elly shivered as she recounted what happened seconds ago. Raven just moved and this had happened.
It might have felt like a short time to most people, but for Elly it was like 2 hours. Raven bent down to her level, propped up her chin and made her look at him. "How the tables have turned right??"
Raven didn't sound like his usual voice, this voice was sounded more mature and it had a special charm. A black tattoo appeared around his left eye like the shape of moon. "What are you?" Elly gasped as she coughed out blood. Raven had stabbed her through her stomach with his hand. Elly died with her eyes wide opened as she stared at him, she saw his eyes dim before she went into eternal darkness.
"That was cool" Raven said as he absorbed the two energies earning him 3 instant level up to 5, Elly had more energy compared to Cain. He kept the skills he acquired in his inventory. Before turning around to approaching footsteps.
Coming towards his location and surrounding him where a group of ten students, the same first years as he was. Since he leveled up, they were all a level lower than he was.
"What is this?" Raven rose an eyebrow as he scanned the students, he hadn't met this people before, so why were they here. His eye couldn't help but twitch, was this a planned attack?
"Raven Regina, there's a bounty on your head and with there being a possibility of death in the Wildlands, it was chosen as your place of execution" The guy with the fiery red hair said as he summoned a huge hammer which he hung across his shoulder.
Raven's live broadcast came one at this situation.
