Rise of the Crusader

Seeing, the look on Elisa's face, Raphael paused.

"Are you okay?" He asked in a soft tone.

As there was no response from Elisa after a few seconds, Raphael said, "It's fine, if you're not okay with this. I can stop."

Elisa shook her head immediately when she heard Raphael.

She gave him a gentle peck on the lips, "No, I'm good." Elisa replied.

As Elisa saw the not-so-confused look on Raphael's face, she held his clothes and loosened two buttons from them. She then flashed a seductive smile at him.

With his hands still on her thigh, Raphael peered deep into Elisa's eyes. His thought was unknown, but as Elisa mashed her lips with his, he responded to the kiss.

It took only a few seconds, and Raphael's upper body was already without clothes. Raphael had moved his hand to the back of Elisa's dress, he was already heading towards the bed, as he loosened the back zip of her dress.

The back zip was loosed completely, and Raphael was about to place Elisa on the bed when the room door was pushed open.

"Raph-"

Aiden stuttered as he saw the two who were close to the bed.

Even though he had a couple of words to say to both of them, the scene in front of him left him completely speechless.

Aiden's mouth opened wide, he was dumbfounded by what he was seeing. However, he was soon pulled out of his stupefied state by Elisa's loud voice.

"Aiden!!!!!!"

"Get out!!!!!" Elisa yelled.

Without delay, Aiden hurried out of the room. He slammed the door shut and as he walked back to the living room, shock was written all over his face.

"What happened back there, Aiden?" Bane asked, evidently curious by the loud voice he had just heard.

Devon also paused the game he was playing and turned toward Aiden.

Aiden stared at Bane and Aiden, and a second later a smile appeared on his face. He pointed his hand in the room he had just come from and said.

"Say it with me, all hail Raphael," Aiden exclaimed.

There was a confused look on Bane and Aiden's faces when they heard Aiden. The both of them wanted to ask what he was implying when Raphael's room door was open.

Raphael and Elisa stepped out of the room, and as they walked to the living room, Devon and Bane stared at the both of them with bewildered looks on their face.

Elisa was glaring at Aiden, while he had a light smile on his face. As for Raphael, he had a neutral look on.

Unbeknownst to Aiden, that was going to be the last time he or any other person would barge into his room that way. As Raphael had installed a security lock in the room.

"You wanted to say something, Aiden?" Raphael asked.

Aiden let out a cough and said, "Oh, that's true."

"You haven't checked your notification, have you," Aiden paused. "The academy tournament day has been released."

"I'm not certain how this year will be, because of the changes. But last year's tournament, the students in the seven divisions went head-to-head. It was bloody and brutal." Aiden exclaimed.

At the mention of the academy tournament, a grim look appeared on Bane and Aiden's faces.

Both of them had witnessed the tournament last year, and if there was one word to use to describe the fight, then it was disastrous.

Raphael had, of course, heard about the academy tournament before. Serena had told him about it, and Aiden, Devon, and Bane had also said a few words about it.

"When is it?"

Aiden replied to Raphael a second after he spoke. "Next week… It was already expected of the academy, after all, jersey saint hospital was said to be our last mission."

The academy tournament was usually held a week or two after the seven divisions had completed the mission that was assigned to them.

It was a tradition that was known by everyone in the academy and was also the reason the academy didn't send any notifications.

"Raphael, I'm going to have to leave right now. We will talk later." With that said, Elisa gave Raphael a peck on the cheek and dashed out of the room.

After Elisa left the room, Bane, Aiden, and Devon fixed their eyes on Raphael. As for Aiden, a creepy smile hung on his face as he stared at Raphael.

The atmosphere was quite awkward as no one in the room uttered a single word. They all had their eyes on Raphael, and after a few seconds, Raphael headed back to his room with Gus on his shoulder.

And as the room door was slammed shut, Aiden sat on the chair and began to explain what he laid eyes on inside the room.

...

Meanwhile, the instant Raphael stepped into his room, he brought a small remote control out of the ring. Tapping on the red button on the remote control, Raphael stared at the surrounding.

A field that took on a spherical shape appeared in the room. The field manifested in the form of a barrier and as Raphael looked at the force field he was in, a deep frown appeared on him.

Slowly walking towards the force field, Raphael removed the glove he was wearing, and gently placed his hand on the force field.

A vibration came from the force field a second after it came in contact with Raphael. However, the vibration stopped after a brief moment, and it returned to its formal state.

"I can't push it anymore than this, but it should be able to withstand the full-force blow of a B-rank and fend off an attack from some A-rank metahuman."

Raphael muttered as he removed his hand from the force field, and wore the gloves back on.

The force field was one of Raphael's recent creations. It was capable of blocking objects, nullifying whether physical, supernatural, or even energy-based attacks. And it was also able to repel any form of attack.

And to say this was merely the tip of the iceberg of what the force field was capable of doing wasn't an exaggeration.

"It will surely be useful in this tournament."

This time around, a smile formed on Raphael's face. He continued to stare at the force field, seemingly excited by it.

What made Raphael most pleased about the force field was that it gave him absolute domination over metahumans below the A-rank.

Absolute domination…
