SHIIIK-!
The oozed out blood morphed into spikes that plunged back into that meters tall something resembling a bud, which
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
Began to screech in anguish, while flailing its leafy petal-like something.
GLEAM….
A crimson light suddenly shone, through the encroachment, and
FHUUUUUUM-!
That something was abruptly set ablaze in a crimson flame, whose heat also burned everything around.
And in a matter of seconds, walking out of that blazing flames was a devilishly charming young man with a perplexed expression while a couple of cuts marred his face, neck, and arms that were uncovered by his greyed out uniform.
What was that?
"Like a cricket stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?" Raven mumbled, unaware that it wasn't a cricket but was instead a mantis.
Heh!
Ahem….
[DING]-!

"Curiosity killed the cat, huh…." Raven mumbled with a strange smile, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the fact that a lv5 managed to graze him, a lv78.
"I should first ready myself in accordance to the memories and experiences, though I myself am yet to fight, I get an odd feeling of having gotten rusty instead….." Raven mumbled.
Though he separated himself from the memoirs that wasn't short for his own, his thoughts aligned with how he felt.
It felt like a transmigrator's never ending life that moved to one after the other, and now in his new body, he had integrate all his previous experiences.
"Wow, that sounds far accurate than the mess in my head" Raven mumbled under his breath.
"A day or two would be enough"
"Call [Iria Stidolphe]" He commanded and his [Neuro-SIM] soon responded by dialling the intended contact.
-
[Hello, where are you, Ren? I can't find you in the refractory hall] Iria's soft, lazy yet concerned voice trickled his ears.
He then voiced his decision to not join the academy, which was followed by silence, before she claimed that she would be coming out to meet him and that she would call for Uncle Lee to send a car, and they would talk about it on the way or back at the Stidolphe Household.
And, since he already planned on returning to the Stidolphe Household first, he agreed to her suggestion and walked back towards the Academy's premises with his hands in his pockets, in an enigmatic gait.
While greeting every women he met on the way with a smile, conversing with them to gain an understanding on how to steer conversations to how he wanted them to.
'If that closet pervert conversed with the sinner on [Ivleunnil] rather than ignoring them as if they were pests, then I wouldn't have had to alter my soft skills unique to this world…..'
-
While returning he voiced his decision once again and Iria questioned whether it was related to how mana behaved around him yesterday.
With a frown, he questioned on what she was talking about and then, noticing his confusion, Iria recounted that horror enticing experience, helping him hear about the phenomenon that happened to him while he was relived those gazillion lives.
"..." Raven turned silent while contemplating on what he had just heard.
"It is related to that phenomenon, isn't it?" Iria questioned.
"Maybe" He responded softly.
"….. Will you become a [Climber]?" Iria asked, concerned.
"Do you not want me to?"
"Will you not become one if I asked you to?"
"I wonder"
"....."
"....."
"Hmph!"
"Hahaha"
-
"Where were you by the way, I too didn't find you in the refractory hall before exiting." Raven asked gently.
"I spent all my energy….."
"Really? Must have been pretty dangerous if you exhausted all of it mid battle"
"….. it did"
"What? Are you alright!?" Raven exclaimed as he immediately pulled over to the side before taking the leverage of pulling her onto his laps before checking for wounds or bruises by lifting her baggy hoody, as he altered her skin tights to hot pants to check for injuries on her legs.
"[Recovery]" He casted as a crimson glow illuminated from his palm to envelop and seep into her.
Feeling a strangely warm energy seeping into her, Iria let out a short but comfortable moan while she melted in his arms.
"Mhmn…."
[Iria Stidolphe's satisfaction rate has increased by 2]
"You…..are just unbelievable" Raven mumbled with a sigh, concerned.
'Good' He thought inwardly.
"Hehe, what did….I do? You just didn't….. even give me a chance to speak….. this is on you….." She mumbled lazily as she turned to face him, with her legs on his sides before she snuggled over his firm chest, hugging him to make herself comfortable on him.
Since the car was connected to the key holder's [Neuro-SIM], Raven had complete control over the car.
Raven changed the tint's concentration and watched as hexagon patterns envelop the glasses to dye them entirely black from the outside, before he altered her baggy hoody into a bolero jacket instead.
"This is on you~" Raven whispered in a sultry tone, in her ear, as his hand sensually traced over her navel to cup her breast, over her bra.
With a tingling shiver, Iria just tightened her hug subconsciously, before she slightly leaned back to graze over his lips with hers, sneakily, with the pretence of her actions being accidental.
Smiling at her antics, Raven captured her lips while his other palm resting on her lower back, pulled her closer.
"Mhmfngh….." Muffled moans soon drenched the car, while that soft pink lipstick over her far softer pair of lips were devoured hungrily, as the presence that felt comfortable previously, now burned with such a chilly passion that she just couldn't bring herself to let go.
Resting her arms over his shoulders, she held the head rest to push herself onto him, while the seat leaned back to lay her over him under his silent commands.
