*Illenium - Fractures (feat. Nevve) *

Scott rubbed his chin, seemingly lost in thoughts after what Kayla had told him about the incident.

"This is concerning…" he said with an expression that highlighted his worry. "You\'re saying that the girl is still in the hospital? Why hasn\'t she been put into a secure place?"

"You\'re asking me?" Kayla asked, "I\'m not the person responsible for keeping the people safe…"

Suddenly, Kayla\'s tiny avatar\'s purple eyes lit up as mana surged through them. 

Nodding her head to herself, she snapped her fingers as golden and purple mana swirled in front of her. Condensing into fine mist, the energy then formed a crimson-purple haired avatar that resembled Raven in her current clothes and normal size.

\'Your control has greatly improved,\' Raven complemented Kayla who smiled sincerely.

\'Hehe, I haven\'t shown you the best parts yet, you also got some improvements, but I\'ll share them whenever we get a chance!\' she chuckled.

In reality, Kayla had prevented Raven from receiving any system notifications since she\'s been under a lot of stress recently and she didn\'t want to bombard her with extra information.

\'Ah, sounds good,\' she smiled.

"Oh, interesting," Scott muttered as he watched Kayla\'s avatar sitting on Raven\'s shoulder.

"The girl stays where she is," Raven simply said to Scott with a cold expression. 

"How come?" He asked, "I thought you\'d want her suffering, if anything…"

"As I said, she stays where she is," Raven repeated. "And if anything, I\'d like you to suffer, not her."

Feeling the cold sweat rolling down his back, he frowned. Shaking his head, he focused back at her.

"I understand," he said quietly. He had so many questions to ask, yet his audience wasn\'t patient in the slightest so he decided to keep them for himself.

"I\'m assuming you want to take a look at the students now?"

"No," she answered. "I couldn\'t care less about them. But I\'ll check the portals with you."

*Sigh*

"I still want you to check them out, and I\'d like to perform another Rank Test to assess the new changes you underwent…" he said, looking at Raven who seemed to ignore that part.

"Let\'s go," Raven simply said. Watching Scott shake his head and dashing away, she followed.

***

Staring at the magic circle carved into the ground and radiating with demonic energy, Raven frowned.

\'Strange, this one is still inactive…\' she muttered in her mind as she crouched down next to it.

Resting her palm on its surface, she sent multiple pulses of her own mana through it. As if it was a mirror, the magic circle started to crack as it eventually broke like fragile glass and disappeared.

"As you can see, they all spawn like this at first." Scott said. "In this state, they mainly absorb energy. After enough energy has been gathered, the portal opens and monsters, or rather demons are able to escape and wreak havoc on this side.

"What makes this a special case is that countless portals like these have been found around the globe." He sighed tiredly.

"The reason why we had a special meeting was because we\'re thinking this may be an attempt for another invasion." He finished.

"You\'re not wrong," Raven said planely. 

"Excuse me?" Scott tilted his head.

"It\'s not my first encounter with these portals, I\'ve had to fight a bunch of demons that spawned out of one of them," she said. "I just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing.

"Furthermore, I know the reason behind this, and it\'s more complicated than just an invasion attempt."

"Care to explain?" He asked.

"Not really… but I guess someone has to," she said. "It\'s a long story, but all you need to know is that there are seven strong demonic beings that are fighting amongst themselves in the demon world, or will be fighting soon.

"And apparently, they want to control the human plane now that they have access to it." She said as Scott widened his eyes. "If you thought that the latest portal incident, Or rather alien invasion, was a disaster, wait for this… But don\'t worry, I\'ll take care of it."

""You will?"" Both Scott and Kayla asked at the same time, surprised.

Scott hadn\'t expected her to take care of an invasion by herself, nor did he have high hopes. Yet, he knew that she knew a lot since she\'s been mentioning the demon realm as if she\'s familiar with it. 

Even more, he knew for a fact that she had changed as her aura had substantially increased in power. For him to feel threatened by her aura tells quite a lot. 

\'And that\'s not including the power of the crimson dragon…\' he muttered to himself.

Kayla on the other hand, just didn\'t expect Raven to want anything to do with fights, especially after what had happened to Maya, baby Rituxi, and the rest. 

"Ah, I will," Raven confirmed her choice. "After all, Maya is probably somewhere on this planet, right? I can\'t have her witness some other crisis."

"Kay, can you do me a favour?" She asked.

"I already know," she smiled while snapping her fingers. 

Dark purple mana erupted out of her tiny body as many similar avatars suddenly appeared all around her. There were about twelve of them in total.

Opening their eyes at the same time, the avatars seemed like robots that have been magically brought to life. Although in reality, it was just Kayla with her skill: Parallel Processing. 

The skill allowed her to divide her focus on different tasks and get them done efficiently all at the same time.

In an instant, the avatars flickered and disappeared as they were set on the hunt for more portals and destroying them.

\'Make sure to disable the avatars the moment you feel yourself getting tired, ok?\' Raven wanted to make sure Kayla doesn\'t harm herself. \'Don\'t exhaust yourself.\'

\'Ah, for sure,\' she said as she hugged her, appreciating her concern.

Watching as Raven patted Kayla\'s tiny head, Scott seemed surprised to see her smile, but it only lasted a moment as she got back to her cold expression the moment she turned her attention towards him.

Taking a deep breath, Raven looked from Kayla to Scott before clenching her fists. 

\'Do you want me to create devices that can measure the demonic energy?\' Kayla asked as if reading her mind. \'This can help the EDA deal with the issue of the portals themselves.\'

\'Not now,\' Raven said, shaking her head. \'I don\'t want you to put too much pressure on yourself. 

\'Once the avatars have done a quick sweep of the most populated areas, we\'ll let you rest. Only after you\'re feeling energetic again can you start with the production, ok? Because we have to make some transfer bracelets as well.

\'After all, some portals have been leaking monsters continuously since the last portal incident, and we need to take care of that as well, or at least help the EDA with that.\'

Nodding her head, a smile was plastered across Kayla\'s face. \'Ah, it shouldn\'t be hard since I almost have full control over the cyber matter now, the only issue is my mana capacity,\' she sighed.

\'I will give you a hand, obviously,\' Raven thought as she focused back to the real world. 

She was happy that Kayla had the skill Thought Acceleration, otherwise, this conversation would have looked really awkward from Scott\'s perspective.

"Is that all you needed?" she asked him.

"As I mentioned earlier, I need you to take a look at the students," he answered.

"Why? What can I simply do for people that I don\'t care about?" She asked coldly.

"I would like you to test them," he answered before swallowing loudly. "I am aware that you\'re an original, so I\'d like to see if someone amongst them is an original as well. Your kind has a higher improvement rate."

"What\'s an original?" Raven asked as she tilted her head, curiously.

"Eh? You\'re an original how do you not- *sigh* actually, it\'s a little bit complicated to explain to someone who doesn\'t know the history of powers, but to keep it short: originals have the capacity to store and use more energy in their bodies.

"They\'re the original owners of powers and the reason normal folks are able to use powers.

"In a sense, comparing an original to a normal person with powers, is like comparing the power level of a power transmission tower, also known as an electricity tower, to the power level in a house a few blocks away."

"Are you implying that originals distribute their powers amongst the rest of the population?" She asked since this was the first time she\'s ever heard of something like this.

"Not exactly, but you got the right idea." He answered. "As I mentioned, everything will be explained once you attend the class. We should officially start soon."

"Hm, I guess I can send an avatar…" she said loudly as Scott face-palmed. "Do you think your avatar can withstand a spar between S rankers? Because your instructors are not going to take it easy on you.

"After all, we\'re running out of time. And before you ask, yes, we\'ll be explaining the urgent circumstances during the class too."

"The avatar won\'t be there for physical practice as I don\'t feel the need to prove or improve my powers to anyone, especially not EDA. The avatar will only be there for the information provided.

"However, the avatar is made by Kay, meaning that I can instantly teleport there if needed. On that note, Scott, meet Kayla. Kay, you already know Scott." She said as Kayla nodded.

"I have way too many questions," Scott said.

"Too bad I won\'t be answering any.." Raven said in return.
