Eve then opened the lunchbox and placed it in front of Raven.

Raven looked down at the food.

"Aoi, taught the recipe."

Eve said. Hearing her name from Eve\'s mouth, Aoi smiled awkwardly.

It\'s a simple curry and rice, the presentation of the dish itself is good that it\'s easy to notice that it took some time to make this.

It also smells good that it stimulates one\'s hunger.

If Alec, Blake, Aoi, and Adelle doesn\'t know that Eve did something to the food they would have beg Raven to give them some.

"What about me?"

Curtis asked Eve with sad eyes after seeing the food.

"You don\'t know anything about cooking, you just eat everything that is presented to you so, you don\'t have some."

Eve coldly replied to him.

Custis then glared at Raven again while mumbling "I\'ll learn how to cook better than you starting tomorrow.", though Raven doesn\'t care as he took the spoon and scooped some rice and curry.

Raven looked at the food in the spoon.

\'Well, I\'ll just probably taste something bitter.\'

Raven thought as he smiled bitterly and placed the food in his mouth.

"!"

But then Raven\'s eyes widened, he stopped moving for a second, then he started to chew again.

\'That surprised look, looks like he tasted the herb I mixed in.\'

Eve happily thought. She put a herb in the curry that have a rare very salty taste.

He put that herb to avoid being accuse of food poisoning, the effect of the herb is relieving the consumer\'s body fatigues.

\'I\'ll just say that I put it as a consideration because he always look tired.\'

Eve smiled deeper as she thought she have the perfect plan!

Then Raven swallowed the food in his mouth.

He smiled at Eve and opened his mouth.

"It\'s good."

Raven said genuinely.

Eve frowned as she heard Raven\'s words. The others made a surprised face while Curtis just looked at Raven enviously.

\'What\'s with him?\'

Eve didn\'t predict that Raven will say that it\'s good, and with a sincere voice at that.

\'No way.\'

Eve\'s eyes widened as she thought of a possible reason why Raven is like that.

\'Is he being considerate to me because he doesn\'t want the others to know that I failed at cooking a simple dish?\'

Eve\'s imagination ran wild, and guilt hit her conscience again.

Then Raven took another bite, he\'s eating happily like he\'s eating a five-star class food.

Eve tried to stop him but she\'s late as Raven is already chewing it.

\'Wow, I don\'t know what Eve put in this food, but the bitter taste in my mouth disappeared.\'

Meanwhile, Raven is nodding in satisfaction as he thought of that.

His actions made Alec, Adelle, Aoi, and Blake questioned each other if the food is really good, but they didn\'t rist the chance to ask Raven for them to have a taste.

(They made a good choice.)

In fact, Raven wasn\'t lying, for him the dish is indeed good, it\'s because the bitter taste in his mouth is getting cancelled by the saltiness of the herb that Eve put in the dish.

"Next time, I\'ll cook something that\'s delicious and not something like that."

Eve muttered, everyone around them heard her.

Alec, Aoi, Adelle, and Blake who knew that Eve did something to the food looked really surprised at Eve\'s words.

Curtis is just dying in jealousy watching Raven eat Eve\'s homemade food.

Eve just said it as her conscience couldn\'t take it anymore.

Raven looked at Eve and tilted his head.

"What are you talking about?"

Raven asked and pointed at the curry he\'s eating.

"It\'s already delicious."

He added. Raven\'s voice was honest so it looks like he\'s telling the truth.

\'Is this guy doing this on purpose to hit my conscience?\'

Eve thought with a frown.

After this, the group ate lunch happily.

Except for Curtis who is trying to steal Raven\'s food that Eve cooked.

***

[Raven\'s POV]

Leaving the cafeteria.

We just finished eating and now I parted ways with the others as I\'m about to start training again.

Though on my way, a group of 4 boy students blocked me.

They\'re all <F+> rank.

I saw a familiar face in the group.

Knowing the content of my novel, I noticed that this scene is pretty connected to the story.

\'The pervert fans incident.\'

It\'s about a group of freshmen students who admire Adelle, Aoi, and Eve way too much, and in a perverted way.

Because of their fucked up brains and dirty minds, it made them insane!

They\'re supposed to target Alec as he gradually get close to the 3 girls, but maybe because of what happened earlier this lunch and considering that I\'m a low rank in my data, they shifted target and chose me instead.

My surrounding became noisier as passer by started whispering to themselves while looking at me with worried eyes.

\'Looks like they already have a bad reputation huh.\'

I thought based on the other\'s reaction.

"Then that\'s good."

I mumbled.

Just remembering what they will do in the future and what they already did, made me frown.

"What do you guys want?"

I asked them not hiding my annoyance.

"Heh."

Then one of them scoffed at me arrogantly.

He lifted his right foot to take a step forward. But before he place his foot down, I moved my foot underneath where his foot will land, resulting him stomping my foot.

"Don\'t you know about u–"

Bam!

I didn\'t let him finish his sentence by punching him with mana coated fist in the jaw. The man slammed on the ground unconscious.

"Fucking annoying."

I muttered. When I\'m creating villains of my story, I always describe them as the type of people I really hate.

It\'s so that I can easily think and write how to beat the shit out of them later.

Now that I\'m in front of the villains I created and remembering their personalities and what they did and will do.

I got annoyed. I grew more annoyed when one of them scoffed at me and acted arrogant so I knocked him unconscious.

"What the fuck do you guys want?"

I asked with cold voice while activating <Monarch\'s Presence>.

The other 3 boys took a step back feeling that something is wrong.

p One of them gnashed his teeth.

"I\'ll remember thi–"

Bam!

I got annoyed again as I know he will say something cringe. So I kicked him in the stomach.

He slammed to the wall and became unconscious too.

"Fucking cringe, I had enough with Curtis."

I looked at the remaining two, looking at them with cold indifferent eyes.

Tap.

I took a step forward.

"What the fuck do you guys want?"

I asked again. They showed a terrified face and didn\'t move or utter a sound.

I move near them and looked at each one of them.

My eyes stopped to the face I\'m familiar with.

\'This fucking scum.\'

I thought.

Bam!

Then I slapped him, of course he became unconscious.

"Your face is annoying."

I looked around to see the passer bys are looking at me with surprised face.

Seeing that, I calmly pointed at my foot.

"They started the fight, look they stomped my foot first."

I casually said, then I started to walk away from the scene and shrugged.

\'The one boy I left conscious will handle the other guys and he will tell their leader what happened here.\'

\'I need to get ready...\'

With that in mind, I started to form a plan how to destroy them.
