The Extra's Dominance

Chapter 132  Side Effects[1]

{Raven's POV}

I don't know how long I was out.

But as soon as I regained my consciousness...

'How long?'

I asked that in my head without even opening my eyes.

[5 hours.]

And Sariel immediately replied.

'I was out for that long huh...'

Anyway, feeling the soft sensation on my back and considering that I don't feel any pain in my body anymore.

I concluded that I'm currently lying in the Lunar's medical center.

'Ruby must've brought me here after I passed out...'

I thought, then I remembered what happened in our spar.

'My body gave up...'

I tried to use my strongest sword technique, <Dance of the Lightning God> while consuming a lot of mana to produce and control <Lightning Spears>.

Also taking into account that I'm also using <Emperor's Aura> at that time as a weapon aura.

It's no wonder why my body wasn't able to handle it...

During that time, I was in a trance and was solely focused on attacking Ruby without any regard for my body's condition.

But now that I'm thinking properly again, I realized how stupid I was.

'Anyway, our spar this time made me realize that the gap between us is still pretty big.'

I might have injured Ruby this time, but I was still unable to land a direct hit on her.

If Ruby has the intention to kill me, it wouldn't even take her a minute to do so.

'I should just be happy that I got stronger.'

I thought, then I finally opened my eyes.

"Oh, you're awake."

And as soon as I did so, a familiar voice entered my ears.

I immediately looked at where the voice came from, and what entered my sight surprised me a bit.

I already know that there's another person in the room.

But when I saw who they were, I couldn't help but frown a little.

"What are you doing here?"

I asked.

"I came to check if you're okay."

Then she replied.

My frown got deeper after I heard her response, this situation is just really unexpected for me.

"Did Lillen ask you to do this?"

Lillen is the president of the [Student Council].

And the one who I'm currently talking to...

Is Lana Dennise, the vice-president.

(Check chapters 81-82 for more info about them.)

Anyway, after hearing my question.

Lana shook her head.

"I came here on my own accord."

Then she stated.

"I also have some things to talk about with you."

And she added.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

She's still emotionlessly calm as usual, and it's irking me.

So with a mischievous smile on my face.

"Is it about the incoming field trip?"

I asked Lana.

"!"

Her eyes widened in surprise after hearing my question.

The field trip thing wasn't out to the public yet after all.

The poker face she's always wearing disappeared.

And seeing that happen, a weird satisfaction washed all over me.

'She's cute.'

I unconsciously thought before opening my mouth once again.

"You're cute."

"Eh..."-Lana

"Eh?"-Raven

And what came out of my mouth surprised both me and Lana.

'What the fuck did I just say?!'

My nonchalant demeanor and mischievous smile crumbled after realizing what came out of my mouth.

[HAHAHAHAHA!]

And what I heard next was Sariel's laughter.

'What are you laughing at?'

I asked Sariel, I'm quite annoyed.

But instead of answering me...

[You're... Currently under a drug effect that was given to you by a nurse earlier.]

Sariel stated that.

"?"

Which confused me as to why he's telling it to me now.

'What?'

[The drug's effect is similar to anesthesia, just more effective. It's used to eliminate the patient's pain.]

Sariel explained, but I'm still not sure why he's telling it to me.

'What is your point?'

So I asked him that.

[The drug has a side effect.]

'Huh?'

[It will make the patient very loose-lipped for a whole day.]

After hearing Sariel say that...

<Understanding> worked immediately, and I finally understood what was happening.

'Everything running in my head will come out of my mouth if I'm not careful...'

I thought.

[You're right.]

And Sariel replied.

'Fuck.'

I carefully thought about what to do next, then a second after...

'Can't we just remove the drug's side effects?'

I asked Sariel.

[If we do that, the drug's effect will disappear too. It doesn't just eliminate your pain, it also helps you heal faster and improves your health.]

And I immediately received an answer from him.

Though, what I heard from Sariel made me frown.

Which left me speechless.

The thought of removing the drug's effect immediately left my mind as soon as I 'That sounds like a very expensive drug was used on me.'

I grumbled in my head.

[it is indeed an expensive drug, but Ruby still bought it for you.]

And Sariel told me that.

"..."

Which left me speechless.

The thought of removing the drug's effect immediately left my mind as soon as I learned that Ruby bought it for me.

"Ehem..."

And that's when I heard Lana's fake cough.

'I almost forgot about her.'

I thought.

Then I put on my poker face and looked at Lana directly in her eyes.

"I appreciate your compliment..."

Lana mumbled, she was wearing her emotionless expression once again.

But her ears are bright red.

'Cute...'

I thought while fighting the urge to open my mouth.

"Anyway, let's move to the main reason why I came here."

Lana then changed the topic.

"Okay."

And I simply replied.

"You received your first job as a member of the [Student Council]."

Lana declared.

"..."

I just remained silent, waiting for her to finish talking.

I'm also trying not to talk much because something stupid might come out of my mouth.

"I'm gonna assume that you already know the details of the incoming field trip?"

Lana asked.

And I just nodded my head in response.

"Okay."

Lana mumbled...

"You were tasked to help me in convincing the students to attend the field trip."

Then she declared.

"..."

Her words made my eye twitch a little, but I kept silent.

"The information about the field trip isn't known to the students yet, so it's our job to inform them too."

Lana added.

"I can handle the job of informing the freshmen."

Then I suddenly spoke after.

"You sure?"-Lana

"A hundred percent sure."-Raven

Lana looked at me without saying anything for a couple of seconds.

"Okay."

But she eventually nodded her head, giving me permission to do the task I spoke of earlier.

"Is that all?"

I asked Lana.

"Yes, that's all."

And she immediately answered without hesitation.

"Are you sure?"

I asked her again.

And this time, Lana frowned.

"Do... You already know?"

She asked.

And with a shrug...

"It's obvious."

I replied.

I know that the [Student Council] has a lot of work, so it's weird that I only have a few things to do.

I know I have more tasks given to me, but Lana is intentionally not telling them to me because of my current condition.

'It's very considerate of her, but I don't need her pity.'

I thought while looking Lana straight into her eyes.

And after a while...

"Well..."

She finally decided to speak.

"I was planning to start doing some paperwork, and you're actually obligated to help me."

"But seeing your condition, it seems that you can't help me at the moment."

"I can handle it on my own so you can rest comfortably."

Lana declared that.

She's really serious.

After hearing her words, I opened my mouth...

"I'm sure I'm not allowed to train for a few days because of my body condition."

"But I can help you with the paperwork, my condition isn't that bad you know."

Then I stated that with a confident smile on my face.

"..."

Lana once again became silent, she's looking at me straight in the eyes.

Which I didn't avoid.

Then...

"Got it."

Lana suddenly mumbled that and turned her back against me.

"Where are you going?"

I asked her.

"I'm going to get the documents."

And Lana immediately replied.

"We're gonna do them here?"-Raven

"Yes, you aren't allowed to leave this room yet after all."-Lana

"Says who?"-Raven

"Professor Ruby."-Lana

"..."-Raven

After our short exchange of words...

Tap- Tap- Tap-

Lana then started walking away.

Shhh–

She opened the door of the room.

And before leaving, she looked back at me.

"Do you have something to say before I leave?"

Lana asked me.

And out of impulse, I nodded my head.

"What is it?"

And after hearing her question, I unconsciously smiled...

"You have such beautiful eyes."

And mumbled those words to her.
