Chapter 69 - Busted
* My First Story - REVIVER *

'Did she... kill it?' Jaimie looked like he's been struck with a pan straight in the face. 'No way, he must be hiding somewhere!' he tried to convince himself.
Seconds passed, then minutes, and the monster had made no comeback yet.
"What the f*CK alright?" he refused to believe that that small girl had just killed the S ranker he was struggling to defeat, and she wasn't even an A ranker!

Raven tried so hard to regulate her breathing rhythm but to no avail. It was like her body was working without oxygen at this point, oxygen that needed to be supplemented.

"Ohua! Ok that's a little bit overwhelming..." Raven pondered in surprise as she took a good look at her stats after a little bit of rest.
She was still dead tired, hungry like she hasn't eaten in months, and in dire need of a bath.
Not only would it help her regain her cool and calm, but it would release her of the oversized soccer uniform and make her feel refreshed.
"Brilliant Primordial Radiance, eh?" she mused as her hand subconsciously stroked her chin in a detective like manner, "So that's what 'he' meant, huh? A new type of Magic..."
"Hey, little girl!"
"Raven,"
"Huh, where?"
"Dude, my name is Raven..." Raven looked up to meet Jamie's flaming eyes.
"Anyway, how did you kill it? I've been trying so hard and you come out of nowhere with a half a*sed attack to end it in one strike? Are you even a B ranker?"
"Err..." Raven hadn't thought that far yet. On the one hand, she didn't want the EDA or other big organisations to have an eye on her. But on the other, she did not know what to say. 'The dude literally saw me blast the monster away...'
"I'm waiting for an explanation, you know?"
"Oho, where did your warm and caring self go, huh? I'd like to ask it to step here for a second."
"Ted, what do you even-" Jaimie didn't understand Ted's remark at all. 'He hadn't arrived yet and he's already started to spout nonsense.' he thought to himself.
"Never mind," Ted quickly replied as if he has just found a new toy to play with, "Raven, was it? Colour me impressed, I didn't know you were an S ranker, care to explain why you were hiding that fact all along?" his face got suddenly serious as hiding one's powers mostly leads to trouble.
In case of emergency near her place, the EDA wouldn't know that she's good to help them, as an S ranker.
"Well, I'm not," she simply replied as it was the truth, "I'm just a B ranker," she bit her lower lip at that as she wasn't even planning on telling them that. For all they know, on paper that is, she was just a D ranker.
'Wait! No, I'm not Draven! They have no idea who I might be!!' Raven was so relieved but she kept it inside. 'with my Soul Illusion becoming Change of Heart, I should be able to actually return to my normal body, and they'd have no idea where 'Raven' went.'
"Listen, there's no point in hiding it now, you do realise that the whole fight was recorded, right?" Jaime said while face-palming hard, he wanted to get to the part where they discuss her powers already.
"Eh?" Raven was caught off guard.
"Yes, did you ever think 'oh, how cool the S rankers are, they're pretty strong!', you know that because you've seen us use our powers on TV, it's the first time we fight aliens or monsters to this extent, but the claim still holds." Ted said with a blank face.
"They watch the fights using special camera that can follow... most of our moves when we're not going all out. And even satellites when needed, so yeah I'm pretty sure the EDA will contact you pretty soon." Jaimie completed.
"Well, the satellite might need a replacement," Ted said looking up at the now faint second sun before covering his eyes and looking back at the girl again.
'RIP....' Raven thought to herself quietly. 'Well, it only means I have to run now before they come, right?'
