"Tagged!"
Raven's voice echoed inside the training field. His firm hands grasped the shoulder of one of his classmate named Philip Newman.
He left a very clear mark that has his energy signals on his shoulder when he released him. Philip smiled wryly as he realized that he was the first to be tagged.
He didn't even notice Raven coming. He didn't hear any footsteps nor breathing, he just suddenly felt a firm hand grasping his shoulder, which made him freeze on spot. For some reason, he felt like he was stabbed when Raven's hands landed on his shoulders, he was pretty sure that he looked somewhat pale right now.
'Don't say anything. No one's within our vicinity so no one saw you get tagged. No one knows and I wan't to use that to our advantage.'
Raven immediately said before Philip could say a thing. It was sent via voice transmission so aside from Philip, no one heard anything. He didn't even wait for him to utter any protest and he went the opposite way from him.
Philip could already tell what he wants to happen, in his heart he couldn't help but to re-evaluate his opinion about these new students, this one in particular is scary, such a cunning mind. He took a careful glance around him, making sure that no one was around before carefully sneaking by in hopes of finding out other classmates. As for Raven, he walked around still wearing that mischievous smile in his face. He faintly heard some movements near him which means that someone was nearby. He smiled widely, suddenly his eyes seemed to flare with a blue light. His vision transformed, he could now see the flow of energy around him. He looked around and saw some faint energy auras behind pillars, normally this wouldn't be visible to the naked eye, but with Energy Vision, they became like torches in the dark.
"Let's see… four people? A girl and three guys. Two of the guys are hiding behind a slanted pillar in front of me, the other guy is hiding in the pillar behind me and the girl is… moving from one pillar after another."
Raven was speaking out loud again, the people he was referring to shuddered fiercely in horror. How in the world did he know!? They were hiding and suppressing their presence, they weren't even making too much of a noise! Raven didn't do his thing where he stomped while lacing it with energy to locate them, so how could he have possibly found them? And so precisely on point too!
"You might not be making too much noise and suppressing your presence, but your using energy to do those things. In front of Energy Vision, you're like lit up torches in a dark cave." Raven said, answering their mental inquiry on how he found them.
The faces of the students paled when he heard them. Of course! Energy Vision! How could they possibly forgot such a nifty technique? All one has to do is to reinforce their eyesight with energy and it will allow them to see more things that are hidden in plain sight! Before these people could even react any further, Raven's silhouette immediately blurred into action. Because of their shock earlier, their defences are down and he took that to his advantage to catch them off guard. Like a ghost, he appeared behind the girl and placed his hand on her shoulder. Feeling this grip, shivers run down on the girl's spine as she let out a piercing shriek.
"Kya~!"
Her scream was heard all over the training field.
"Shit! He got Sasha!" Someone said out loud.
"Watch out everyone! Sasha is quick! Don't get caught!"
Meanwhile, Raven was still holding Sasha's shoulder but her shriek was too loud that it hurt his ears causing him to grimace
."That's mean!" Sasha said while pouting, "That scared the crap out of me!"
Raven smiled wryly and replied, "Well, you dropped your guard. Anyways, welcome to the team! Just try your best to catch them, it'll be fine."
Their conversation was heard by Veronica, who happened to be watching from a distance. An idea suddenly clicked onto her head as she suddenly yelled.
"Guys! It's not just Sasha! He tagged someone earlier as well right!? Do any of you saw who was the other one?"The students ears perked up when they heard her question, but as expected no one said a thing. Veronica pursed her lips and said: "Damn! He planted a mole just like that! What a guy!"
The situation of the game suddenly changed when this happened. The atmosphere became more tense. Because he made Philip's alignment a secret, he sowed a discord in his classmates' head. Now they will have to be on guard with anyone because they never know who the third 'it' is. Along with his pocket full of tricks, he just made them incredibly wary of him. There was no doubt in his mind that his classmates would now take him seriously and this where the fun truly begins.
"Let's go." Raven said towards Sasha, "Let's move separately to cover more grounds."
Sasha agreed to his plans and they parted ways to continue the game. Raven was walking in a decent speed when suddenly…
*Xiu!*
His ears perked up and he instinctively tilted his head to avoid the incoming projectile. He gazed at the direction where the arrow came from and saw Anne, smirking at him him while hanging upside down on a slanted pillar.
Raven nodded in admiration and said: "Not bad! If I reacted too slow on that, maybe my head will be pierced by now."
"I do my best thank you." Anne smiled sweetly and replied, "But I didn't hit you so I'm somewhat disappointed."
"Nah, you're fine." Raven waved his hand, "You're very impressive already, don't sell yourself short."
While Raven was talking, a shadow suddenly appeared behind him. With a cold look on Mark's face, he raised both of his swords and attempted to separate Raven's head from his shoulders.
"Hup!" Raven reacted at the last second and immediately ducked, as soon as Mark's attack missed, he pushed his body up and his head hit Mark's jaws, causing him to spit blood.
"Damn! Good thing I didn't loss any of teeth with that. What is your head made out of? Steel?"
"You tell me!" Raven retorted back, "What did my head ever do to you huh? Why are you so eager to decapitate me?"
"As if you never saw it coming." Mark rolled his eyes before retreating back in the shadows. He turned around and saw that Anne was also long gone from her position as well. Raven shook his head and chuckled.
He knew why they attacked.The reason why he came in this direction was because Rupert was nearby, he planned on toying with him next but Anne and Mark happened to be nearby as well. Both of them had an idea of what he was trying to do so they took action. And because of the commotion they caused, Rupert was alarmed and ran off somewhere. Raven lost trail of him already so he could only hope to find another target.
He activated his energy vision once again but because he already used this trick, they already became conscious about it. Nevertheless, he was still able to catch some important clues that leads him to another classmate of him.
The trail lead him to Wilbert, who was carefully looking around him and making sure that he wasn't being watched. Too bad for him, Raven was better compared to him when it comes to hiding.After watching his habits for a bit, Raven formed a very devious plan. He smirked and started walking halfway through the surface of the pillar near him.
After that he jumped silently to a slanted pillar next to it and walked on its surface as well. Wilbert was still looking around him but he never looked up so he didn't know that Raven was already directly above him. Wilbert focused his gaze in front of him and that's the time when Raven dropped down like a feather behind him. He waited until Wilbert looked back and when he did, he greeted him with a...
"Hi!"
"HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THINGS!!!"
Wilbert scrambled and was horrified too badly that he fell on his rear. Raven laughed out loud, he felt bad but his reaction was so damn funny for him.Meanwhile, Wilbert was shaken badly and was panting for breath. God knows just how taut his nerves were while he was looking around him. He was also making sure that he was scanning his surroundings just in case he missed something. Imagine his surprise when Raven appeared behind him like a ghost and greeted him. His heart pounded madly.
"How!? I was making sure to scan my surroundings each time I moved! How did you suddenly appear behind me?"
"You weren't looking up." Raven said with a flat tone, he pointed at the slanted pillar above them and Wilbert was finally enlightened on how he didn't see him come.
