RE: The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 24 - Early In The Morning

(Raven's POV)

I left the library as soon as I finished reading information about certain monsters.

My time in there was pretty uneventful, except that Blake was always trying to disturb me every time he could by telling stupid jokes.

The others didn't talk that much, they only spoke when necessary—like asking questions to each other.

Alec, Aoi, and Adelle seemed like they wanted to ask me some questions. Though I pretended not to notice and just ignored them.

Anyway, after a few more minutes of walking... I was back in my dorm.

And when I got in, I didn't waste any time.

I practiced mana control and some martial arts.

"It's not that long since I entered Lunar, but my existence already took effect on the story."

The assessment test, Ruby teaching our class a lot earlier, and even Keara's existence.

"And that annoying thing called Blake."

Blake didn't appear in my novel, but upon appraising his stats... It seems like he's somewhat talented.

In fact, his rank is higher than me.

He doesn't really affect the story that much.

"But still, there are already changes happening to the future that I know."

With the Transcend Beings altering some events to their liking—I already expected this.

But it's most likely that the main events will still happen.

And when they do... I don't plan to act like an extra.

I'll do whatever I want.

But to have that kind of freedom, I need to have a lot of strength.

Physically and financially.

Financially, I plan to start a company with a lot of future bigshots. Using my information about the future... It's definitely possible.

But the problem is physical.

"My talent limit."

I'm not talented enough to be one of the strongest. In fact, I have average talent.

The best rank I can reach is rank, an average limit. It's nowhere near the main characters, who will be rank in the future.

Normally, because of my talent cap, ranking up is hard, but thanks to my trait, I'm getting stronger at a fast pace.

Moving on...

"..."

While meditating with my eyes closed and sitting on the floor in a lotus position, a resolute expression appeared on my face.

"I will not waste this life being an extra."

I declared to myself.

"I want to live excitingly this time."

Coming into this world, I first thought of living lazily and peacefully.

A life away from danger, a normal life.

"But that's boring."

I already lived my life like that all this time.

I want to experience something new.

I want to have fun.

I want to satisfy myself.

I don't need to live like a nobody just because I'm an extra in a novel.

So with a smile on my face, I opened my mouth.

"And while I'm at it..."

"Let's aim for the top."

I muttered, a determined look appeared on my face.

*****

I continued training mana control and martial arts for an hour.

After finishing, I took a bath and started to cook.

While cooking, I remembered some of the things Ruby said to me before when we first met.

"There's really something about this body."

I mumbled, looking down on my body.

Controlling mana is so much easy for me, and even learning things.

Also, the real reason I'm in the top class even though my rank is low... Is apparently because of my insight.

Ruby asked Sir Kendy about me as per my request.

"Well, I have an Insight skill... So that explains why."

Turns out my is rare.

Well, to be fair—it did helped me a lot so far until now because of how useful it is.

Tok- Tok-

Just then, I heard knocks at the door.

I approached the door and immediately opened it.

"I thought you were gonna come sooner."

I said.

It was Keara.

"Sorry... I was learning about my new job."

She was fidgeting.

'Cute.'

I involuntarily smiled.

"It's fine... I'm currently cooking dinner, come in and wait till it's ready."

She looked up at me with a relieved face after hearing that.

I let her inside my dorm.

She sat on my bed.

Then Jeara started to look around the room.

"As you can see, I'm not really that talented or rich."

I mumbled to her while cooking.

"It's fine, I don't really have a talent either, and besides... I can just work for the both of us."

She replied with an innocent smile.

Her answer surprised me.

"Honestly, you're too good for me."

She was like an angel—I was touched.

"But just because you're too good for me doesn't mean I'm gonna let you go. In fact, I'm gonna hold on to you tighter."

It would be very stupid of me if I lose her even with all the things she's willing to do for me.

"..."

Keara became silent, she was embarrassed.

And looking at her like that—

"You're so cute... I want to bite you."

I unconsciously mumbled that! Regret washed over me for a second.

"Umm, I-I didn't take a bath yet."

But her answer immediately removed that and left me dumbfounded.

Pfft—

A laugh escaped my mouth.

"I don't really care... I mean, why would you take a bath now if we're going to be sweaty soon?"

I said to her teasingly.

Keara seemed to think about what I meant just now... And upon realizing it, her face became red and she lowered her head.

She was so cute.

But then after that, I remembered something—

"Oh... And about Ruby."

I hesitantly muttered, frowning a bit and fishing out for her reaction.

And hearing my words...

"Oh, she already told me. I'm so happy knowing that someone as wonderful as her also loves you."

She replied cheerfully.

"She also treats me nicely. She really seems like a nice person, so I really don't mind."

Her words were like she was talking about her older sister.

"Yeah, thanks... You're like an angel."

I said and smiled.

This polygamy thing is still weird for me.

"Come on, let's eat."

I just finished cooking.

I didn't tell her about my real relationship with Ruby upon seeing her being cheerful.

Looks like Ruby and Keara are getting along well, I'll just let them be for now.

*****

I woke up and saw Keara looking down at me.

I'm in my cat form because I'm physically exhausted from last night.

Keara saw me transforming into a cat for the first time.

At first, she was surprised, and she panicked.

But after calming down—

She liked my cat form.

She always keeps me close to her.

She always massages my stomach, which feels good as a cat.

She fell asleep cuddling me.

It was a very pleasant feeling.

"What time is it?"

I asked her.

"It's 6:01 AM."

She said softly, like she didn't want to startle me.

Keara is still treating me like a cat.

She seems to forget that I'm a human.

So I transformed back into a human.

By my sudden transformation, Keara got surprised.

While still on her lap, I kissed her lips.

"Good morning."

I said, then stood up.

Keara got flustered, but I just smiled.

"Let's take a bath."

She nodded weakly.

We took a bath together...

Then after that—

Keara got dressed up. Looks like she was prepared and brought clothes to change into.

"You should leave some clothes here in my room for when you visit."

I said while preparing breakfast.

"Okay, I will."

Tok- Tok-

Then someone knocked on the door.

"I'll get it."

Keara said.

I unconsciously nodded my head.

But I remembered that we're in the Lunar Academy and not in a hotel!

So the one knocking is either a student or a staff member.

"Wai—"

Before I could finish my word, Keara had already unlocked the door.

And as soon as she did that, the door burst open—

BAM!

"Raven! What the hell happened? You were so noisy last nigh—"

Blake's words stopped upon seeing Keara.

I knitted my brows together.

Behind him were Adelle and Alec.

They were looking at me and Keara back and forth.

'Why the hell do these three get along so well?'

They became friends so fast.

"Miss Keara?!"

Blake exclaimed.

Keara, realizing what was happening, ran to me and tried to hide behind me.

"Don't hide behind me. Your undergarments are on my bed—revealed openly."

I said and covered the bed with a blanket.

I saw Adelle looking at the bed earlier with a surprised expression.

My dorm is small, so the bed can be seen upon opening the door.

So denying Keara would be pointless—it might even hurt her feelings.

Fortunately, only Adelle saw Keara's undergarments.

"Erm, do you guys want to eat? I just prepared breakfast."

The three of them flinched and became a bit embarrassed when I asked.

"Umm, yeah. Thanks."

They agreed. They came pretty early in the morning, so I guessed they were probably trying to invite me to have breakfast with them.

While we were walking to the table... I stopped and looked at Blake.

"Oh, I wasn't the one who was loud last night. It was Keara."

Then I said that.
