258 Emergency (1/2)

---

It has been a week since the start of the school year.

Raven was currently observing his class train by themselves and would give out some advices where it's needed. Everything was going fine until all of a sudden, the entrance of the field opened and caught the attention of him and his students.

Someone entered with a distressed look on his face, Raven recognized his person as one of the Instructors in the Academy, a colleague of his. Raven frowned and stood up, he then excused himself and met up with the distressed Instructor.

”What's the problem?” Raven asked.

”Pardon my intrusion, Instructor Raven. There's an emergency situation for one of my student's cultivation and something strange happened. Could you please spare me a bit of your time so that we could inspect his condition?” The Instructor said hurriedly while paying respects towards Raven.

Raven patted his shoulders, he looked back at his class and said: ”You guys continue training, something came up that needs my attention. If I don't come back before the period ends, then you may dismiss yourselves.”

He then looked at the Instructor and asked: ”Where is this student that you mentioned?”

The Instructor thanked him and then told him where his class was being held on. Raven placed a hand on his shoulders and together they hurried towards the class of this Instructor.

On the way there, Raven asked the Instructor about the details of what happened. Basically, this instructor also handles the Conditioning Class. As they were doing some regular body conditioning task when suddenly one of his male students suddenly felt extremely terrible, so much to the point where he was screaming in pain and an unusual energy fluctuations started emanating out of his body.

The Instructor tried coming close but the energy surrounding the child suddenly turned hostile and pushed him back, hurting the child in the process as well. Out of his fear to hurt the child even more, the Instructor decided to look for help, and who else would be the best helper aside from Raven himself.

As soon as they arrived in the training field, Raven saw that the class was all grouped up in corner of the field, cowering over an extremely foul presence that permeated their surroundings.

In the middle of the training field, one male student was writhing in pain and gritting his teeth. Surrounding his petite body was a silhouette of an entity that has an alarming red eyes and an ethereal body which exudes an intense malice that is nearly materializing in the air.

Raven's face turned slightly solemn, he let out a shallow breath and said: ”To think that someone would actually awaken this kind of Spirit Entity.”

”You mean, his Spirit Entity is already awakening?” The Instructor of the student asked in a bewildered tone. ”But how is that possible? Didn't he need to undergo the Awakening Ritual first before that happens?”

”Experiencing the Spiritual Awakening Ritual isn't the only way to fully Awaken one's Spirit Entity. It is the most preferred way to do so since it's the safest way. The other methods are just way too painful. What your student is experiencing right now is probably the most painful one cause he didn't have a choice.”

”This method is called the Forced Spiritual Awakening. This happens when one's natural compatibility towards their Spirit Entity is extremely high.”

”But enough explaining, stand back and let me handle this.” Raven ordered which caused the Instructor to step back, ”Protect the students, this might get a little rowdy.” He reminded before walking towards the writhing student.

The Instructor erected a solid barrier that encased him and the students inside. Once the barrier was erected, the students inside breathed a sigh of relief since they were also shielded from the menacing malice that was permeating in the air. These students lived a sheltered life so far and was never exposed to that kind of feeling. Fear and trepidation still lingered in their hearts as they watched Raven deal with trouble.

As Raven slowly made his way over, the entity which was close to manifestation, growled towards his direction. Clearly signifying that it didn't want Raven to interfere.

Raven's response to this was a simple snort which is laced with his Chaos Force. As his Chaos Force made contact with the entity, it visibly shuddered and felt an incredible sense of suppression coming off of Raven. It's momentum clearly halted as it carefully inspected the human in front of him.
