Clara opened her mouth, trying to say something, but no words came out. She hadn’t come here to cause trouble–she’d only shown up because she heard that Cassian, the man she’d been crushing on for ages, was here.
If she’d known Raven was also present, she would’ve stayed as far away as humanly possible.
Her three front teeth, which Raven had once knocked out, had just been replanted. She wasn’t about to risk losing more.
Besides, her grandfather had warned her himself: Raven was someone even he couldn’t afford to cross.
No matter how much Clara hated her, she knew better than to go head–to–head with someone like that.
But Millie wasn’t paying attention to Clara’s internal meltdown.
The moment she heard Brianna’s words, she scanned the area, then suddenly stood up and stormed over to pick a phone off the ground.
She didn’t unlock the screen. Instead, she turned to Raven with a mocking laugh and spat, “You’ve really got guts, don’t you? Flirting with instructors right in the middle of military training?”
Raven didn’t even look at her. She turned straight to Leopard and the other instructors, her voice like steel. “Anyone here who dares waste another second of my time–throw them out of Regalhold University. And make sure they never get in again.”
Millie sneered. “You think you can expel us just because you said so? Who do you think you are? These instructors, they’re not your servants.”
But the moment those words left her mouth, a vice–like grip closed around her wrist.
Pain shot up her arm as she was yanked in place–Leopard had moved without a word, his expression unreadable. Millie struggled, but compared to his strength, she was helpless.
And she wasn’t the only one.
Shrieks of pain rang out one after another–Brianna, the curvy fangirl, the girl Raven had downed with her badge earlier… all of them were subdued. None could move.
Millie, shocked and gasping, turned to the very people holding her down.
“You–aren’t you instructors?! That woman is just a student! Why are you listening to her?”
Before she could demand an answer, a sharp crack sliced through the air.
Millie’s head jerked sideways. A second later, a line of crimson slid down the corner of her lips.
She slowly turned back around–only to see Raven lowering her hand, eyes like frost.
There was no rage in her expression. No gloating.
Just the cold, quiet certainty of someone who didn’t need to prove anything.
And that made it so much worse.
Millie’s heart seized with a terror she didn’t fully understand.
Not far away, Clara instinctively backed away, her steps unsteady. She didn’t dare utter a word.

Chapter 144
The students who recognized Clara–Regalhold’s infamous little princess, the granddaughter of Chancellor Kurt Monroe himself–were stunned.
This was Clara. The same girl who used to parade through campus like she owned it.
And now? She was clearly scared of Raven.
Everyone began to look at Raven differently.
What kind of power does she have? Why are even the most arrogant people terrified of her?‘
Just as the tension reached a breaking point, a new figure surged into view.
Steve, the student who had sworn to join the Hundred–Man Unit and make Raven suffer, appeared pushing a wheelchair at full speed.
The man in the wheelchair was none other than Kurt Monroe.
“President Monroe,” Steve said loudly, pointing straight at Raven, “that woman has turned this academy upside down. She’s a menace. If we don’t expel her according to Regalhold’s code of conduct, there will be chaos!”
The crowd turned at once.
When they saw Kurt seated in the wheelchair, their expressions shifted instantly into respect.
Many students turned to look at Raven, waiting. No one said a word–but they didn’t need to.
In their minds, Raven was finished.
Sure, she had instructors on her side. Maybe she’d used underhanded tricks to earn their loyalty. But in the end, she was still just a student. A student who had assaulted classmates, and in a manner so public and brutal that even the instructors wouldn’t be able to protect her.
And Kurt–stern, principled Kurt–would never allow the rules of the academy to be trampled.
But then, just when everyone thought the hammer was about to drop, Kurt turned his head slowly to Steve.
His brow furrowed. And then he spoke.
What he said next made every student in the room feel like their entire worldview had just shattered.
