16.33% Why Should I Stop Being a Villain / Chapter 74: Venessa Baker

บท 74: Venessa Baker

After Sam Allister was eliminated, Asher turned towards Matthew, who took a step back as Asher's cold gaze landed on him.However, knowing he could not escape, Matthew charged forward with his sword in his hand.

His strength increased as he used the mana circulation technique that he received from the World Association.

*Clang*

"Why," Matthew thought in his head.

Every attack he made was easily countered by Asher.

"I was the one who should have won," he muttered.

Matthew had thought this tournament would be the place where he would show the world that the elite families were nothing without the tremendous amount of resources they spent on their children.

He wanted to prove that his talent alone was enough to overcome the barrier, but Asher was not someone he could even fathom competing with.

Asher indifferently kept countering but decided to end it. Matthew saw Asher slashing down with his sword, and the force behind the attack made Matthew's sword cut into the ground.

Before he could remove his hand from the hilt to guard himself, Asher kicked him in the face, immediately activating the barrier.

Asher looked in another direction towards the forest.

"Tsk," he got annoyed that the test conductors had activated the barrier before he could mess Matthew up more.

Asher looked behind to see Damian, who was cracking his knuckles.

"You wanna start?" Asher asked Damian, knowing what he wanted.

"Of course, I wanted to test the gap between us," Damian spoke.

Asher did not reply. He just quietly stared at Damian before he sighed and dropped his sword.

"You are still a fool," Asher thought in his mind as he remembered a certain event from the past.

Damian saw Asher dropping his sword as he got ready for hand-to-hand combat.

"Hehe, don't go easy on me," Damian dashed as he swung his fist at Asher.

Asher simply blocked his fist, but Damian's strength and endurance were a bit lower than Asher's.

Damian saw Asher doing an overhand right, but Damian ducked as he tried to do a jab at Asher's stomach. Damian thought he could connect his jab, but Asher knee kicked him, making him lose his balance.

"Argh, *spit*," Damian spat out blood.

Despite knowing that he would lose to Asher, Damian was smiling. His goal was not to win, and Asher knew what Damian wanted to show by this brawl.

"Asher Greville has confirmed his spot for 1st position, but it seems Damian Seymour is now challenging him," Gazil spoke.

This duel was happening before Alyssa's arrival, but it was pretty much clear for everyone who would win now.

"Another monster in the Greville family, the future high council will get affected by this," a man in one of the VIP rooms spoke.

Many people became more cautious about the growing power of the Greville family.

Damian took a deep breath as his eyes focused on Asher. He dashed towards Asher but stopped his punch and did a roundhouse kick on him. Asher blocked the kick as he grabbed Damian's leg.

"Too slow," Asher grabbed Damian's leg and threw him towards the stone platform.

Damian landed on the ground as he looked at Asher who was coming at him.

"Strong," he muttered as he got up.

Damian changed his stance and started to punch him, but Asher was dodging every strike that Damian sent his way. Asher instead of dodging the last punch tilted his body to the right and sent an uppercut on Damian.

Damian felt the punch and lost his balance, but Asher grabbed his head and lowered it as he kneed him in the face.

Asher kept kicking Damian in the face, but after five solid knee hits, Damian stopped the last one with all his strength. He pushed Asher's body and tried to grapple him, but Asher shook his grip off.

"Huff, huff, huff," Damian looked messed up, but fortunately, all the screens shifted to show Alyssa's fight after she showed her space element.

Damian barely opened his left eye and looked at the blurry figure of Asher.

"It seems I am still too weak," Damian muttered as he fell to the ground, and the barrier activated, giving Asher all his tokens.

Asher's indifferent face looked at Damian, who was now unconscious.

"Only if you were not obsessed over her, but who am I to say this," Asher muttered quietly to himself.

Meanwhile, in the girls' tournament, Venessa was watching Alyssa fight the others.

She had arrived just after Ria Ardel, but she did not rush into the situation and decided to watch them fight.

"Pink hair," Venessa squinted her eyes to see Alyssa.

"Another advanced element?" Venessa was surprised to see Alyssa use ice magic.

She saw Alyssa as she floated above the ground and summoned many ice lances. She saw all of Alyssa's struggles and her winning against all the participants.

*Clap* *Clap*

"What a splendid performance," Venessa Baker spoke.

Alyssa looked up as she glared at Venessa.

*Cough* *Cough*

She coughed, and blood came out of her mouth, covering her pale face and hands.

"You are so strong!" Venessa told Alyssa.

Alyssa thought that Venessa was making fun of her.

'I tried my best then, why? Why? Why?' Alyssa thought as her hands gripped the ground.

"You would have all of their tokens, right?" Venessa spoke.

"I will protect you until the end of this tournament then," Venessa spoke as she proudly put her hands on her chest.

"Huh?" Alyssa looked at Venessa, who took her sword out and stood beside her.

"Why?" She asked, ignoring the pain she was feeling right now.

"Oh, a fortune teller helped me today. He told me to help someone pink, and it would help me in the future," Venessa spoke as she tried to remember the face of the fortune teller, but she couldn't remember it.

"Strange, I met him today, but I don't remember his face!" Venessa tried to remember as she sat beside Alyssa and put her hand on her head.

"Purple... Yeah, his eyes were purple," Venessa clapped her hands and smiled brightly as she looked at Alyssa.

"Ehh? Venessa Baker is doing something... strange?" Gazil tilted his head as all the audience were confused why she was not attacking.

"I don't deserve this..." Alyssa muttered.

She wanted to win but with her own efforts. Having that potion made her think that her body would be able to hold on for a bit more, but she overused her mana due to her lack of experience.

"What is she doing?" the audience got confused.

"Is she her friend?" Many people were discussing the reason Venessa was just sitting beside Alyssa.

"Why is this girl even here?" James spoke as he was angry from Elena's loss while Filia was silent and kept watching.

"It would be better for her to lose," Sylvia sighed, seeing Venessa not eliminating Alyssa.

She was bitter that Alyssa defeated Amelia but she knew that it was Amelia's own fault for being weak.

Livia was sad Amelia had lost, and she wanted Venessa to eliminate Alyssa.

"Oh, I don't know, but my instincts say to believe in the fortune teller," Venessa shrugged her shoulders.

Alyssa did not know how to reply to Venessa. Her whole life growing up, she was alone and discriminated against everywhere she went. Getting help from others was not a concept familiar to her.

"Why is she helping her?" Ria said with a frustrated voice.

"Don't know, maybe they are friends?" Elena replied.

She looked at Alyssa as she tried to remember where she had heard about her.

"Doesn't matter, she defeated us all," Eva said, but her frustration was visible on her face.

But among them all, Amelia was silent. She just watched Alyssa and remembered who she was finally.

"How did I lose to this girl?" Amelia thought in her mind.

She remembered how she thought that she could win this easily and got eliminated by a girl like Alyssa. Her pride did not allow her to accept her defeat.

They all had common thoughts about losing to Alyssa as they could not accept their loss by a girl who could not even stand on her own.

The timer kept decreasing the whole time; Alyssa and Asher were almost confirmed for their 1st spot.

Alyssa looked at Venessa, who just stood there and even defeated three participants who arrived at the final location.

Alyssa raised her hand after her mana recovered a bit. She looked at Venessa who was fighting with another participant.

"Lance," she spoke as an ice lance appeared behind her and attacked another participant.

"Whew, thanks for the assist," Venessa raised her thumb at Alyssa.

"Why is she helping me?" Many doubts arose in the head of Alyssa regarding Venessa, but she did not voice it.

Winning this was her only chance to execute her plans, and if she was indebted to Venessa for it, she didn't mind it.

"I will repay this debt," she thought, looking at Venessa.

Thanks you guys for the support with your gifts <3

บท 75: Winning the tournament

The timer hit <00:00:00>.

"And we have the winners of this tournament!!!" Gazil spoke as the crowd loudly cheered.

Many people got upset by the results, but this was a tournament where only your own strength could secure you the win.

The leaderboards were removed, and nobody could see them when the timer hit 00:15:00.

So, people were excited to see the final score of both Asher and Alyssa.

Alyssa and Venessa looked towards a man coming towards them with a white coat.

He was one of the professors who was in charge of this tournament.

"So you won," he said to Alyssa with a disgusted look on his face.

Alyssa knew why he made such a face, but she knew that this was her fate, and she could do nothing about it.

"And you, if you have no spirit to win, don't participate in such tournaments," he spoke to Venessa.

"It's my choice, what do you mean-" Venessa wanted to argue, but Alyssa, who could now hover and stand, stopped her.

"Was there any rule that refrained her from doing that?" Alyssa asked.

The professor looked at Alyssa.

"After all, blood does not lie," he muttered, but Alyssa could hear it, making her clench her fist.

"There is the portal that will take you to the stage outside for the winning ceremony. Step in it," he spoke and turned.

"What a rude guy!" Venessa said as she showed her tongue at his back.

"By the way, my name is Venessa, Venessa Baker," she reached out her hand to Alyssa.

"Alyssa," Alyssa replied and shook her hand.

'Not an Elite family,' Alyssa noticed that from Venessa's surname she was not from an Elite family.

"Thank you for letting me win," it was shameful for her, but Alyssa still bowed towards Venessa.

"Ah! No, don't do it, I told you before, but if you didn't show such performance against those Elite family kids, I would not have helped you," Venessa replied truthfully.

"But still, this win was very important to me," Alyssa said as she remembered the paper she has signed just before joining this tournament.

****************

While she was coming to the tournament waiting room, she was told by the caretaker to sign some documents.

"What are these documents?" Alyssa asked the woman who was her caretaker for today.

"You have to sign it, these documents state that after today, you have no legal connection to the Astaria family, and your conflicts are your own. The Astaria family will not be held accountable for your mistakes," the caretaker explained with an annoyed look on her face.

"So they will disown me?" she asked without reacting much to this news. She expected her father to disown her sooner or later, and she was lucky enough that she had the chance to attend the World Academy.

"Yeah, and you will have no shares in the property of the Astaria family," she explained.

Although Alexander said it was difficult for him to disown Alyssa completely because she still had the blood of the Astaria family, he wanted to remove any chance of her claiming any of the assets of the Astaria family.

"And what if I don't sign it?" she glared at the woman.

"You cannot attend the World Academy without signing it," the woman smiled at her.

"I will sign it," Alyssa took the paper and signed on it.

She knew that what the World Academy could offer her was better than getting the money from the Astaria family. There was a reason why children of the Elite families attended

******************

In the boy's final location, another professor appeared in front of Asher.

"Congratulations on winning the tournament, you can now pass through that portal." The professor informed Asher.

"Your performance was wonderful, even your swordsmanship was perfect," he praised Asher.

"You truly live up to the expectations of the grandson of the Swordgod," he spoke.

"Can I go?" Asher asked with an indifferent look on his face.

"Oh, yeah, yeah." The professor scratched his head and smiled as he made way for Asher to move.

The test conductors were taking the injured students to the medical facility and also retrieving those who were still in the forest.

Alyssa and Venessa appeared on the stage and saw the huge amount of people sitting in the stadium cheering loudly for them.

"Our winners of this representative have arrived," Gazil spoke.

Alyssa looked to her left as another person stepped out of the portal. She looked at the boy who was coming out with blood on his hands and his armor that was given by the World Academy.

She stared at the boy with black hair and crimson red eyes that seemed like they wanted to devour everything. She kept looking at him but she came out of her trance as Venessa spoke.

"Wow, he is so handsome," Venessa spoke as she looked at Asher who came out of the portal.

Amelia, Elena, Eva, and Ria also stepped out after Alyssa as they stood a bit away from her.

Elena looked at Asher, who was covered with blood. Her body started trembling remembering the incident at the party.

"Where is Kevin?" She looked around to spot Kevin.

"Stop, Elena!" Eva lightly shook Elena, who was panicking not seeing Kevin.

"I think Kevin lost to him," Eva said with a sad look on her face.

They did not think that Kevin would lose to Asher, knowing that he was capable enough to go to E-Rank dungeons and hunt F-Rank monsters.

"We have the winner of this year!!" Gazil spoke.

"For the first place of the Boy's tournament, we have Asher Von Raven Greville!!!" he spoke.

"With the total of 92 tokens, setting a new record with the previous one of 60 tokens," Gazil spoke.

"For the first place of the Girl's tournament, we have Alyssa Astaria," Gazil had to speak the full name here because of the rules of the ceremony.

"With the total of 88 tokens, setting a new record with the previous one being 58 tokens," Gazil said, but instead of cheering, the crowd went silent.

"Astaria?"

"Wait, didn't they only have a son?"

"Is she the daughter of his first wife?"

"What about Garcia's blood?"

Noises started appearing, but they got silenced as Arman quickly appeared and took the mic.

Alyssa knew the reaction, but it still hurt her as she let her head down.

"As you all know, the rules state that the winner of this tournament will become the representative of the first-year students," Arman spoke.

"So we will have Alyssa and Asher Greville as the First Year head students," Arman spoke.

But instead of cheering, a voice came from one of the participants who stood on the stage.

"How could a person with Garcia's blood become our representative?" Ria Adler shouted as everyone looked at her.

"This is the rule, and I cannot change it," Arman firmly replied.

"So you are saying we should now follow the commands of this ugly Garcia's girl," Ria spoke, and many other students on the stage started agreeing with her.

"Yeah, how could they allow a Garcia's child in the World Academy," a boy spoke.

"Just look at her. She is so ugly, just like her blood," the girl spoke.

Even the crowd started hurling insults at Alyssa.

"Die, Die, Die, Die, Die," voices saying to kill herself started to appear in Alyssa's head.

She started having trouble breathing, and pain in her chest started to rise up due to increasing stress.

"No, no," she started muttering.

Venessa got confused by the situation and could not even look at Alyssa, who stood beside her.

"Why is this dumb bitch speaking so loudly?" Asher spoke as he looked at Ria Adler.

Everyone looked at Asher, but Alyssa still had her head down.

"Excuse me?" Ria shouted at Asher, not expecting him to insult her in front of so many people.

"Can't you hear me?" Asher's cold eyes intimidated Ria.

"Why do I need to say it again and again for your family to understand not to speak too much," Asher's cold voice made Elena tremble as she lowered her gaze.

"This bastard," James flared up his mana, but Filia stopped him.

"Does speaking so loudly run in your filthy blood?" Asher spoke, but as a sudden wave of pressure downed the whole stadium.

"Do you want to die, boy?" A 50-year-old-looking man appeared in front of the crowd and looked down at Asher floating in the air.

His blond hair floated in the air, and his deep blue eyes landed on Asher who looked above.

"Grandfather!" Elena looked at the man floating in the air.

"No way, Dalton Rothschild," a person exclaimed.

"The SSS Rank hunter of the Rothschild family," another person spoke.

Asher recognized the person as he was none other than the grandfather of Elena, Dalton Rothschild, who was one of the 11 SSS Rank hunters in the world.

"It seems nobody taught you the consequences of your actions," Dalton said as cracks started to appear in the barrier that separated the stage and the crowd.

Arman almost stepped in to calm Dalton Rothschild down, but another flood of pressure was felt a bit greater than Dalton. Unlike Dalton's aura, which made you look up to him in awe for his strength, the man that appeared instilled fear in others.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Nathan laughed.

"When did a Greville start to fear the consequences?" Nathan looked at Dalton.

"Do you think you rule this world?" Dalton said as a blue-hilted sword appeared in his hands.

"It seems like people have forgotten about me!" Nathan said as the space around him turned redder, and a reddish-black greatsword with a gem on the hilt appeared in his hand.

"Fuck, this old man might kill us all," Arthur panicked after seeing Nathan take out his greatsword.

Arman raised his hand as he and the other professors struggled to shield the audience and the students on the stage from the sheer pressure emitted by Nathan and Dalton.
