263 Interrogate (1/2)

---

It's been two days since Raven and his team's return to the Kingdom with the Resource Gathering Team.

As they reported back, Raven also informed the King about the mole he planted at the Black Curtain Guild. For now, he still hadn't receive any news from the slave but he could feel that the slave is still alive. Alexander commended him for thinking such actions since if the slave could truly return, then they would be able to keep tabs on the plans of the Black Curtain Guild and be prepared ahead of time.

Currently, Raven was back at the academy. He continued on making changes on the student's curriculum due to the implementation of the six-man cells. Unfortunately, he was once again interrupted.

His assistant informed him that he needed to attend to some more urgent matters. During the two days that he was gone, there are some students who expressed wishes to change their teammates and Raven has to hear their reasons.

Raven sighed and dropped what he was currently doing. He then asked his assistant to reach out for the students who wanted to switch teams and arranged a meeting with them.

The teams were informed shortly after, they then arrived moments after they received the messages and were met with Raven who personally conducted the interview.

There a total of four teams who arrived. Raven invited the first team inside the office and had the rest waiting outside.

As soon the first team entered, they greeted Raven and was asked to be seated. Raven then asked:

”Team 45, I received your request about changing a team member. Why do you want to switch members?”

As Raven spoke, he saw the faces of the team change. One of them was particularly shocked, which gave Raven an impression that this person must be the cause of their request. Raven looked at the Leader of Team 45 with a questioning gaze. Shortly after, the Leader spoke:

”Instructor, I requested for a member exchange because I believe that with how a member of my team behaves, we won't be going anywhere.” The Leader spoke in a confident tone.

Raven then asked: ”Who is this member that you're referring to?”

”It would be this person, he's takes the Assault Role on out team.” The Leader replied.

Raven stayed silent and studied the guy that the Leader pointed at. He then gestured the Leader to continue explaining and that's what he did.

”His attitude towards us is just too unacceptable.” The Leader stated, ”The first time we met, he was already harassing our female members by openly ogling at them like a starved beast.”

”You lying bastard! I did no such thing!” His teammate roared in indignation as panic visibly showed on his face.

”You stay silent for me. I'll give you time to explain later.” Raven ordered, causing him to sit down and grip his fist in fury. Raven looked at the Leader and said: ”Continue.”

The Leader swallowed and nodded, ”I tried to speak with him and explain that such actions are too inappropriate and that he should stop doing that since it's disrespectful. But instead of listening to me, he told me to shut up and even said that I was unfit to be the Leader of the team. Clearly disrespecting me as well.”

”I told the rest of the team to ignore it for now while I attempted to do my best and diffuse the situation. But his attitude just became worst as we moved on. During the missions, he refused to cooperate and would just stare at us as we did the mission. He would even try to claim all the benefit for himself by bootlicking clients.”

”This trend continued as we cleared missions, I tried talking to him over and over again but he just refused to listen. What took the cherry on top happened yesterday. He tried to force himself to our Healer and when I heard what he did, I decided that there's no other way about it and decided to file a request for a member switch.”

As the Leader finished explaining, Raven looked at the team and saw that all of them had varying reactions. Aside from the Leader, the rest all had their heads down. The suspected student nearly tore the hem of his uniform off due to indignation. His face was covered with wrath as he listened to the words of his 'Leader'.

The Healer of the team had a rather horrified face. She was pale and shivering, probably due to fear.

*Sigh*

Raven let out a long sigh and massaged his temples. He then waved his hand, along this action he also sent a wave of his chaos force. Instantly, the six students became petrified and was stuck on their chairs.

All of them wore a surprised expressions on their faces and looked at Raven with questioning gazes. They then saw how Raven had an exhausted expression as he said: ”Not even a week passed since the formation of Teams and there's already some drama going on. Seriously, why did I even agreed to become an Instructor if I'm just going to deal with this shit?”

His words definitely not targeted at the students. It appears that he was mostly talking to himself, clearly regretting his decisions at that time when he agreed to Ian's proposal. Well, he did became a little bit impulsive when he agreed to it since he really wanted the reform to be approved.
