[Raven's POV]
As soon as the academy finished today.
I headed to the Hebriz city to visit my family.
It's to fulfill the promise I made before.
Anyway, I left the academy at 8:37 PM.
And only after about 40 minutes of travelling, I reached my destination.
And when I got in our house, My parents happily greeted me.
They let me in, then mom cooked for me while dad kept me accompany in the living room.
Then after that, just as I expected, both of them asked me things that happened to me in the academy...
The spreading article about me online.
My test results.
And about what I did to the combat test.
As I already mentioned before, I don't want to lie to them as much as possible.
'So I told them everything I can... '
I told my parents pretty much everything, except for few small things like when I led Sean and his group to their deaths.
And our conversation about those topics lasted for at least an hour!
***
Then after telling them all what I can...
"So that's what happened huh."
"Congrats on taking the first place in both of the test!"
Dad and Mom respectively responded.
Dad is even nodding his head in satisfaction.
'Both of them heard my words clearly, but I didn't hear any bad or negative words coming from them.'
I literally told them that I tortured Sean and the others in front of many people...
'My parents, they're really weird.'
I thought.
But at this point, I already got used to them being weird.
So I didn't pay much attention about it.
And it was then...
"Mooom~"
"I'm hungry~"
Me and my parents heard a cute and childish voice coming from upstairs.
We shifted our heads to where we heard the voice, in the staircase.
And saw Nisha descending from the stairs.
Based on her appearance right now and her voice earlier, it seems like Nisha just woke up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'She's really cute...'
I thought while looking at her.
And when Nisha got down, she looked at our direction.
Then she saw me.
"!"
Nisha's eyes widened when our gazes met.
"Big broth:!"
And she was about to call me, but she stopped midway as if she remembered something.
Then after that...
"Hmph!"
Nisha pouted and she turned her back against me!
And seeing her like that, a small frown appeared on my face.
"She's still sulking because you left before while she was sleeping."
Mom suddenly said beside me.
"Also, you didn't visit us last week even though you have no academy the whole week."
Then Dad followed!
Their words hit my conscience a little bit.
But I decided to just ignore some of their words.
And as all of this is happening, I'm also racking my brain to find a quick way to mend my relationship with Nisha.

Saturday, 1:00 PM.
...
...
"Wow, I've never been in this kind of place!"
Nisha exclaimed.
"It's actually my first time going here."
Then beside her, who's holding her hands, Raven replied with a smile.
"Thanks for bringing me here, hehe."
Nisha said to Raven with a small and a cute giggle.
And Raven felt so much warm inside when he saw that.
To pay back Nisha for what he did to her previously, Raven decided to bring her to the [Xenia].
Raven doesn't really know much about this place, except that it's the best market place for heroes and aspiring heroes.
In the first place, Alec and the others get their equipment and weapons from Tyrone in the .
While they get others items from raiding dungeons, demon cult's bases, and other else.
Raven just brought Nisha here because he knows that kids loves going to places like this.
So with curiosity, Raven looked around.
'Hm, this place is pretty interesting after all.'
He thought.
'There's just too many people... And it's noisy.'
'It's fucking bright too for no reason.'
Then he added with a small frown.
"Brother, let's go!"
But then, Nisha exclaimed to him.
Which Raven immediately smile and looked at her.
"Okay, let's go."
And Raven replied.
Then after that, he and Nisha started exploring the the place.
They went through every floors of it, they looked at every shop as well.
And fairly enough, there was an arcade in there, so Raven and Nisha made sure to enter it too.
As a matter of fact, that's the place where the both of them stayed the most!
And after some time, when the clock hit 3:00 PM.
Raven and Nisha stopped playing because Nisha is getting hungry.
So with that, Raven started finding a good place to eat.
And that's when he found out about the food court in the 2nd floor.
***
[Raven's POV]
Currently, Nisha is in my arms and I'm carrying her as she's exhausted for playing too much and walking too much.
We're on the 2nd floor and we're heading to the food court that I heard about.
But as I walk, I can't help but notice something.
'Why are they looking at us...?'
I asked myself inwardly.
I can feel countless gazes aimed at me and Nisha.
Actually, it's not just now...
It's been like this since we walked in this place.
I just ignored it because I can't feel hostility from anyone after all.
But now it's getting really bothersome...
"Brother, are you okay?"
"Am I heavy that's why your face is like that?"
Then suddenly, Nisha asked me.
I looked at her, then with a big smile...
"I'm totally fine."
"And you're not heavy, plus, I'm really strong so I can actually carry you forever."
I replied to Nisha.
"Then why does it seems like you're annoyed?"
Then Nisha asked me again.
'It's because these motherfuckers keeps staring at us.'
I thought before opening my mouth.
"Because I'm getting hungry too."
And I answered to Nisha.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Really?"
"Yeah, that's why let's go fast!"
"Okay!".
Then after our small conversation, I fastened my pace and just ignored the people around us.
...
Not long after that, I reached the food court.
There's a lot of people, and there's a lot of food stalls around.
"Wow, there's so many stores to pick food from!"
Nisha excitedly exclaimed.
"Where do you want to go first?"
Then I asked her.
"There!"
And Nisha pointed to one of the stores that sells deep fried monster meats.
"Hm, sure, let's take a look at it."
So while Nisha is still in my arms, I approached the stall that she pointed just now.
There's still so many eyes on us, but I decided to ignore it at the moment.
Weirdly enough though, people gave way to me when I was planning to wait on the line.
And I'm not someone who miss kindness like this out of embarrassment.
So with a smile...
"Thanks."
I thanked the people who let me go first.
"Thank you!"
And Nisha did the same with a cute smile on her face.
'She's such an angel.'
Anyway, Nisha started pointing out what she wants to eat after that.
And I bought them all.
'Money is really useful huh.'
'I need more of it.'
I thought while looking at Nisha who's so excited.
But as we were buying...
"Raven?"
I heard a familiar manly voice.
"Huh, big brother, someone called your name."
Then Nisha confirmed that I'm not just hearing things.
So I looked at where I heard the voice with a frown.
'It's him!'
And I saw Alec!
Also, it's not just him!
'It's them!'
He's with the other main characters, and even Blake!
