459 Tournament 1.10 (2/2)

Upon exiting, he shocked some people due to his appearance. No, it isn't because of Raven's otherworldly looks or anything, instead its because of the maroon uniform he's wearing.

Raven mostly remained indifferent even though he could hear their private discussions clearly. Almost everyone was surprised to see the one guy who decided to not participate in the tournament.

His name was already known to many due to the fact that, even though he isn't participating, his name is included at the list of those who passed. What these people were discussing was about his strength.

They were trying to find out how strong he was, but what he mostly heard was that according to some people, he was weak in terms of both strength and will, which is why he didn't participate at the tournament.

Raven almost wanted to roar in laughter as he heard these discussions. Nevertheless, he couldn't be bothered to explain himself to them. These people are completely irrelevant to him, why should he explain anything to them? He doesn't owe them anything.

As he walked back into his dwelling, more people spotted him and discussions within them turned into rumors, which Raven didn't pay attention to any longer.

Before he could return to his dwelling however, he noticed that some people were standing in front of the door. He frowned and could pretty much tell who they were even though their backs are facing him.

It was Jason along with the twins Pyra and Mira.

Raven walked towards them and stopped, he then announced his presence by saying:

”Why are you standing in front of my room?”

”AAAAH!” The twins shrieked along with Jason, who probably get carried away due to their reactions.

”Holy shit dude! Don't do that! It's bad for my heart.” Jason said while clutching his chest.

”Yeah, right.” Raven rolled his eyes, as if he'll believe something like that. ”Answer the question will you?”

”A-ahem, you see…uh…” Jason stuttered, he was fidgeting while looking back and forth at Raven and the twins. Raven raised a brow and had a bad feeling. ”Uh, it's like…uh…”

”Hey you! Since you know this guy, then give it back!” The violet haired Mira yelled at Raven, causing the latter to be confused.

”Yeah. Give it back.” Pyra, the red haired twin repeated.

”I'm sorry, give what back?” Raven asked, ”And just to be clear, I don't know this guy at all. I don't have friends who looks as shady as him.”

”Bro!” Jason exclaimed, looking incredibly offended by Raven's words. The twin glared at him and he piped down, looking like a defeated pup.

The twins then looked at Raven once more and glared at him, but Raven remained indifferent, bored even.

”Are you sure you don't know who this guy is?” Mira asked once more and Pyra repeated her words after.

Raven sighed and said: ”Yes, I don't know who that guy truly is. Like I said, I don't have any friends who are as shady as him. Now, if you'll excuse me, I want to enter my room and rest.”

He didn't even wait for them speak another word and walked past them to enter his room. The three could only stare blankly and watch as the doors closed in front of them.

Jason who's standing meekly behind the twins, sighed and said: ”I told you it won't work. He even denied that he knew me. Can I go now?”

”Hmph! Away with you useless man.” Pyra glared at Jason one more time before he obeyed without saying anything back.

”What do we do now?” Mira asked her twin sister.

Pyra held her sister's arm and said: ”Don't worry, we'll have more chances in the future.”
