Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

"It seems that the battle is getting a bit heated," Gazil didn't know what to say after watching Asher's fight with Alan just now. Asher had displayed himself as a far more talented individual than Alan.

"Should we intervene?" The test conductor asked the professor again.

"Do it-" The professor almost completed his orders but,

"Let's see how you look now," Asher spoke to Alan, who was kicking around to free himself.

Asher threw Alan's body into the nearby tree and smashed his face on the trunk.

"AHHHH," Alan screamed as some splinters got stuck in his face.

*Bam* *Bam*

Asher kept hitting Alan's face into the tree, turning his face into a bloody mess. But before he could do it for the fourth time,

Asher felt someone stopping his hand, and he looked back.

"Enough, Alan Astaria is now disqualified. You have received the token for defeating him," a man with black hair, who was wearing a coat with the World Academy insignia on it, spoke.

*Ding*

Asher noticed he was given two tokens which were previously in the possession of Alan, but now they were counted as his tokens. Alan's body fell out of Asher's hand and dropped on the ground.

Asher looked looked back at the professor who was ready to disqualify Asher if he touched Alan again and he knew it as well.

"Fine with me," Asher turned and left Alan's body with the professor.

"THIS DAMN BASTARD!!" Alexander spoke, and his mana flared up, destroying the room he was sitting in.

"HOW DARE THAT GREVILLE BASTARD HURT MY SON," Alexander spoke, as his eyes were full of anger.

"Don't make a mess here, Sir," a voice came in, and Alexander looked behind him to see Arman who was standing there.

"You think a commoner like you can stop me? A Seat holder?" Alexander shouted.

"Maybe you are forgetting where you are standing, Sir, and I am only saying this because our principal is in a good mood today," Arman spoke without hesitation.

"I agree that the heir of the Greville family did too much with your son, but we said it before that the participants can use any method to win," Arman tried to reason with Alexander politely.

Alexander clenched his fist, but even he was nothing in front of the principal of the World Academy. Despite being a Seat holder like the Greville, the Astaria family had no SSS-Rank hunter as their backbone.

"Take me to my son right now," Alexander ordered Arman.

"That I can do," Arman agreed to Alexander's demand.

While in the Halcyon Royal family VIP Room,

"This guy is crazy!" Lishia spoke.

"Lishia, you should choose your words carefully whenever you are outside the walls of Halcyon." Rewilh reminded her lightly and waved his hand, creating a sound barrier.

"I apologize," Lishia immediately recognized her small blunder.

"Well, you might not be wrong, but we should not create unnecessary rifts with others, especially in our current situation," Rewilh spoke.

"But be careful of that boy in the Academy," Rewilh spoke, and Lishia took her father's advice as she nodded.

Many other Elite families were talking about this as well, but some were thinking about how talented Asher seemed, and others were thinking about the growing power of the Greville family.

"Is he in a bad mood?" David asked Arthur.

"Who knows, but maybe that Astaria boy provoked him?" Arthur shrugged his shoulders.

Livia remained calm, but Nate gulped upon seeing Asher's face. Despite being Damian's brother, he could never understand why his big brother was friends with such a scary guy. Asher was the only person Nate could not talk rudely to.

"Scary," Nate thought to himself.

While Lucas was praising Asher like an idol, despite his ruthless behavior just now, Asher's actions made him believe that his past actions were not that wrong. And he seeing Asher, he thought even he could live normally like others.

Lucas could seem like a cute kid to others, but he had too many things to take care of, including Livia, stealing, and harming others. Only he knew how hard he tried to make sure that he never got caught doing all of this because the location they lived in had many such people who would harm him or maybe even kill him if he got caught by them.

Nathan, on the other hand, was enjoying Asher's fight. He was a guy who believed that if you were not powerful enough, you had no right to whine about your situation. And this mentality made him reach the place he was today.

But unlike him, others did not appreciate Asher's fight with Alan, but they had no reason to ally with the Astaria family. Even the audience got a bit awkward when Asher made a mess of Alan's face. Even some of his fans lowered their hands. It was common for them to like a cold-looking handsome guy, but seeing them do things that reflected their nature made them unlikable to others.

"Oh, it seems that other participants are also slowly advancing towards the leaderboard," Gazil diverted the attention of the crowd.

Many names started to appear on the leaderboard, but some of them were disappearing because they were getting eliminated as the time was decreasing.

Amelia was maintaining her lead by finding tokens in the forest, and Elena dueled some other participants to gain two more tokens. Other names were appearing, but the biggest change was in the Boys' leaderboard.

"It seems we have a new person in the second place nearing Asher Greville," Gazil spoke.

"Second place, having four tokens, we have Matthew, who was the top scorer in the recent World Association training," Gazil said.

The audience cheered loudly, knowing that a normal person with no background was competing against people with so many resources to develop themselves.

Almost 30 minutes had passed and now more and more participants were encountering each other. Many others were finding hidden tokens around the forest, and one of them was Sam Allister, who had not found a single opponent yet.

"Oh, seems like someone is fighting," Sam stopped and quietly went in the direction where he had heard others fighting.

*Bam*

It was a fight between two people, one with a sword and another boy who was using spells.

"Found my prey," Sam's eyes shone as he looked at the two other people fighting.

But unlike Damian, who had jumped in carelessly, Sam was a careful person who would not act rashly without considering the consequences. It was a hard trait to have, growing up in an Elite family with so much power and authority at their hands. Kids from Elite families had this mindset of ignoring the repercussions of their decisions most of the time.

But Sam was quite different from the kids his age. His intelligence was only less than Asher and Eva, who were one of the most intelligent kids at the World Academy, including other seniors.

He looked at the timer,

<1:25:30>

"Let's take them down now," Sam conjured a spell.

A shackles of mud appeared beneath the boy with the sword, making him take the incoming fireball and getting eliminated.

"Fuck," he cursed as he looked at the mud shackles on his legs that were the reason for his elimination.

The boy who had cast the fireball was happy receiving the notification of the token that he did not notice the mud shackles.

As he was looking at his bracelet, Sam thrust his spear, but the boy sensed him, so he tried to dodge, but the spear still made a graze on his stomach, making him bleed from there.

"What the hell," he touched his stomach and looked at Sam, who just smirked at him.

But Sam did not give him enough time to conjure another spell. A mage at such a low rank was quite weak, so the boy stood no chance after Sam's surprise attack on him. Only mages of a bit higher rank could fight toe to toe with others without having a clear disadvantage.

*Ding**Ding*

"Tch, only 2," Sam got annoyed that he had only gotten two tokens from these two guys.

While in the Stadium,

"Sam Allister had overtaken Kevin Whiteheart and Damian Seymour with 4 tokens!!," Gazil spoke.

"But nothing is sure for now, the top 5 will keep changing, and only the person who could maintain the top spot at the end would be the winner!" Gazil explained.
