13.46% Why Should I Stop Being a Villain / Chapter 61: After New Year

章節 61: After New Year

In a shopping mall in Soran, two women were chatting with each other.

"Oh, did your son also get selected for World Academy?" A brown-haired woman spoke to the woman standing beside her.

"Yes, he did. I was so happy for him," the woman replied.

"Although I am worried about him. He is very careless," the woman spoke.

"Yes, so many big names are attending the same batch this year," the brown-haired woman spoke.

"Exactly, I had to remind him many times to stay away from any trouble with those people," she replied.

Many others like them were talking about the same thing. It was February but the weather was not too cold because there was no snow, and this was the time when most academies, including the world's best World Academy, did their admissions. Although normal people had to go through the World Association, and they would test them if they were qualified to study at the World Academy.

This process made sure no weak person attended the World Academy. If they wanted to learn, they had to enroll in other academies.

"Welcome to CXN News. We are filming the arrival of all the elite families in Soran," the reporter was reporting outside the teleportation gate.

"Most of the elite families have arrived, and only some of them are still not present in Soran," he spoke.

"This is the first time when so many talented people have almost enrolled in the same batch, and according to the World Association, even the chosen candidates are no joke this year!" he was speaking as the Teleportation gate started shining.

"It seems that the next family has arrived," the camera turned towards the teleportation gate.

Out of the teleportation, many people wearing black suits arrived, surrounding some people who were in the middle. After a while, when the security scattered a bit, between them, a beautiful girl and a man with a majestic aura could be seen.

Both the girl and the man had black hair with golden eyes, and their presence alone depicted their majestic aura.

"As you can see, the Royal Family of Halcyon has arrived!" the reporter shouted as the man and the girl went past and sat in their luxurious cars and left the premise.

"It seems that the King of Halcyon himself is coming with the princess, and it seems that the Allister and the Everett will arrive tomorrow. For more such news, stay tuned," many reporters were saying similar things.

Almost all the media channels across the world had their eyes on this batch of students in the World Academy. Some of the normal candidates were nervous and excited that they were going to meet people they could never meet normally.

Inside a villa in Soran,

"Haha, I am sure you will win the representative tournament of this year," James Rothschild laughed as he talked with Kevin.

"It seems not all the people are participating in the representative tournament," Elena spoke.

"There is a lot of politics involved, sweetheart. Not all the elite families want to showcase their kids in a public event," Filia Rothschild, the mother of Elena spoke.

"I don't know, but so many talented people in one generation will make your batch quite interesting, unlike ours," James said while sipping tea.

"I am sure they will be no match for Kevin, who is already an E Rank hunter," Elena cheerfully spoke.

"Oh come on, Elena, you are E- Rank yourself. I am sure you or Eva will be winning your tournament this year," Kevin spoke.

"I am not so sure. Amelia would be a tough candidate as well," Elena said, but the mood got a bit tense with the mention of Greville.

"*Cough* You guys should eat and rest and prepare yourselves. I have heard that the normal candidates have some strong guys as well," Filia spoke.

Kevin clenched his fist as he remembered the day when Elena and Asher dueled. However, as Filia changed the topic, he did not comment on it. They finished their dinner and left, and Elena and Kevin went to their rooms as well.

"James, I think we should let the matter between Elena and that Greville boy go," Filia spoke as they were moving in the hallway to their room.

"That was partially Elena's fault, and although that boy took it too far, you should not go after them blindly. It is not like the matter with the Garcia Family," Filia continued.

"I know, but it's not just us that wants the Greville's downfall," James stopped.

"It's just that the old monster is still alive, and nobody wants a fight with him yet," he turned and looked at Filia.

"James, I don't want another bloodshed like the one with Garcia, and I absolutely don't want to involve my only daughter in it." A frown appeared on Filia's face.

"Sigh, okay, I will not interfere in this matter until the Greville's make another mistake like the last one," James lightly smiled at Filia.

"Promise?" Filia questioned James.

"Promise." James hugged Filia.

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

Inside the Greville Estate at the Dinner table,

"So, any updates from Ash?" Arthur asked Sylvie.

"He told me last time that he will come before the tournament starts," Sylvie replied.

"But I was surprised that he would participate in the representative tournament." Amelia spoke.

"I told him to relax last time, but he seemed a bit off," Sylvie sighed.

"I think he had reached E-Rank or E Rank already," Amelia said.

"Yeah, but rumors are some of the powerful candidates this year will not participate. They do not want to reveal their cards for the trials," Arthur spoke.

"They can do whatever they want, it's not like they can hide themselves forever in the academy." Amelia spoke.

"You speak as if you have already won the tournament," Arthur smiled at Amelia.

"I don't think anybody would be able to beat me, and as far as I know, the princess of Halcyon is not participating." Amelia confidently spoke.

"Yeah, Big Sis is very powerful," Livia cheered Amelia.

"Thank you, Liv," Amelia smiled back at Livia. She was happy with Livia's compliment.

"Okay, we know that your sister is powerful, but don't get overconfident," Sylvie said.

"I know, mom," Amelia said with a serious face.

Sylvie looked at Lucas, who was quiet during the whole dinner and seemed a bit dull. He was missing Asher, who was outside raiding dungeons and increasing his strength.

"Lucas and Livia, do you guys want to go with us to watch Asher and Amelia's tournament?" Sylvie asked Lucas.

"Really?!" Lucas looked at Sylvie with excitement.

"But bringing them-" Arthur was interjecting, but Sylvie kicked his leg under the table.

"Ahaha, it is fine, you guys can come with us," Arthur awkwardly laughed.

Originally, Sylvie would not have taken the twins to the tournament, as too many eyes would notice them. However, seeing that they might gain some confidence and experience from watching both Asher and Amelia compete might be beneficial for them. She also wanted to cheer up Lucas, who looked very gloomy these days.

"Yay!!" Livia hugged Amelia as she was happy that they could go with them.

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

At World Academy, inside the Principal's office,

"Professor Arman, make sure that the barriers are set up properly and no mishaps happen during the tournament." The authoritative voice of an old man said.

"Yes, Principal," Arman replied with utmost respect.

A bunch of documents started flowing around the room, all of them consisting of profiles of the new batch of students that would arrive at the World Academy.

"It seems that the Academy will get rowdy once again after a long time," the old man said.

"It's inevitable with so many children with their elite backgrounds gathered in one place. Their egos are bound to clash," Arman replied.

"Well, it would be better for them to understand as soon as possible that inside World Academy only their talent matters," the old man spoke.

"I wish someone worthy of my heritage would appear this time," the old man said.

"Well, the boy from the Whiteheart family is a good candidate and so is the one from the Allister family," Arman replied.

"I'm getting old, and it's time I decide on a successor who will take my mantle," the old man spoke.

"Umm, Principal, you will probably live longer than some of the students who will attend our academy," Arman said.

The old man raised his eyebrows at Arman and looked at him. At one point, Arman thought that he had made some kind of mistake, but as nothing happened, he was a bit confused.

"Professor Arman, you should take a break and enjoy the environment sometime," the old man said.

"But you rejected my leave application last time yourself?" Arman was confused.

"Sigh, Professor Arman, I think you should go check if everything is alright in the preparations once again," the old man said.

"Uh, okay. Have a good day, Principal," Arman respectfully left the room.

It is time for a small tournament which would introduce some of the characters!!!!

章節 62: Before the Arrival

Around a well-barricaded location, filled with multiple people patrolling,

"Team leader, we might get late," a man spoke.

"Sigh, I am on strict orders to not let anybody enter," the man with a black coat spoke.

"We should tell Miss Emmy to communicate with Young Master," another man suggested.

"Go ask her yourself," the team leader lit a cigarette.

"How much time is left?" the team leader asked as he puffed out smoke.

"If we ignore the starting ceremony, we have around 5-6 hours," the man replied.

"Let's wait for Miss Emmy's confirmation. Tell other security teams to make sure the path we are taking is safe. I am sure nobody would be dumb enough to attack us, but make sure everything is fine beforehand," the team leader spoke.

Emmy was sitting in the private lounge present outside the dungeon that Asher had entered. It was a D Rank dungeon with a blue gate. She had followed Asher around for months when he came in and out of various dungeons, and he did not allow anybody to enter with him.

Although Asher guaranteed that he would wear the safety device at all times, Emmy could not help but worry about him. She was responsible for his safety, and dungeons were one such place where even the strongest could die. It was only because D Rank dungeons and below were safe, and the least deviation would occur in these dungeons, that Asher was able to convince his parents to let him go in solo.

*Ding*

She received a notification, so she decided to check it out.

"Hmm," Emmy saw a notification from Sylvie telling her about the time she needed to make sure that Asher should arrive.

"Sigh, I hope Young Master does not try to fully clear this dungeon," Emmy, who followed Asher around, was used to him killing a boss monster whenever he went in.

But this time around, not only did he need to participate in a tournament, but he also needed to exit the dungeon on time so they could arrive within the appropriate time.

Inside the dungeon,

"KEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" A screeching voice was heard.

A young man could be seen covered with red blood from top to bottom. His eyes were shining red, and his hair was a bit messy as he continued killing the monsters.

<Host has acquired..>Asher ignored the notifications he was getting. He was chasing a monster that had fled after Asher killed a bunch of them.

"Slash," Asher muttered as his body dashed towards the fleeting monster and sliced the monster in half.

He stopped to look at the fallen body of the monster. It was a monster with blue fur and ape-like appearance.

"Hah," Asher breathed out as he indifferently looked up towards the direction he was going.

Asher right now was radiating much of his bloodlust, making the monsters flee from him. His red eyes were dull, and his face was indifferent. If anybody could see him now, his appearance alone would have scared the life out of them.

His whole body was covered in blood, and his bright crimson-red eyes made him look intimidating.

As days went by after the discovery of the mana crystal mine and meeting Tom, Asher was having a hard time controlling his own madness. Sometimes he would dream of the past, and it would fuel his unstable emotions even more.

Asher channeled a bit of his mana into his legs as he kept running forward. This dungeon was a dense forest with tall trees surrounding him. As he kept running forward, many ape monsters were forced to fight him. But despite having a number advantage over Asher, no single monster could even break his stance.

*Slash*

Asher carefully acted around the nodes he could now see on the bodies of these Ape monsters after fighting a couple of them.

*Thud* *Thud*

Bodies of screeching monsters kept falling down the ground as Asher slitted their throats, taking their life.

<Host has acquired..>

<Host has acquire..>

<Host has acquire..>

Bunches of notifications kept popping in, but Asher ignored them as he kept on killing the monsters.

[ Host has leveled up ]

After seeing the level-up notification, Asher stopped.

"It seems that the boss is not needed anymore," Asher muttered.

Although he wanted to complete the dungeon, he knew that the clock was ticking and he needed to be present at the World Academy at the correct time. Asher turned back and decided to leave the dungeon. He went through the portal and arrived outside where many members of the Abyss Guild were waiting for him. But his appearance made others a bit uncomfortable.

"Young Master, we have arranged everything you need, the private room inside the lounge," one of the people who were waiting for him outside spoke.

Asher nodded and left him to change into better clothes and wash himself.

Emmy saw Asher, who was covered with blood all over his body, coming inside. "Young Master, we need to leave soon," Emmy informed Asher.

"I know, let me take a bath before we leave," Asher replied to Emmy.

Asher went into his personal room that was present in the huge lounge built outside the dungeon. After washing and changing into casual clothes, he came out. As they could not waste more time, Asher sat inside the car.

"Have you arranged for the medical potion I asked you for?" Asher asked Emmy.

"Yes, I have the potion with me. Should I hand it over?" Emmy asked Asher.

"No, this is not for me. You need to deliver it to a certain someone at the tournament," Asher spoke as he looked out the window. Even at this time, he was carefully maintaining his indifferent face and controlling his voice so that he could appear as normal as he could.

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

In Soran, outside the hotel, a girl with pink hair on a wheelchair could be seen entering a car. The wheelchair was the latest invention so the person using it did not need any additional help from someone.

"The location is World Academy portal grounds, right?" the driver politely asked.

"Yes," the girl spoke.

"Did someone from your family got selected for the World Academy?" the driver decided to have a small talk with the young girl.

"I am the one who got selected," the girl replied to him without minding his words. She knew that people would find it surprising that someone like her, who would be seen as a liability, would attend the World Academy, which was famous for accepting only strong people.

"Oh, congrats," the driver got awkward after hearing the girl's response.

"Thank you," the girl simply thanked the man, keeping her straight face. The rest of the drive was silent.

"Uh- You can stop there only, my caretaker would take me from here," the girl spoke.

"Oh, okay," the driver stopped at the location, which was a bit far from the World Academy grounds.

The girl got out of the car and saw a woman wearing a black suit standing in front of her.

"Miss Alyssa, you should see the time you are arriving. We could have been late," the woman spoke rudely as she looked down at Alyssa in her wheelchair.

"Mind your words, you are just a caretaker," Alyssa got annoyed at the rude tone of the woman in front of her.

'What a rude kid, no wonder she got that ugly scar on her face,' the woman thought in her mind.

"We should go now. Your father told me to accompany you to the place where the participants will be staying before the start of the tournament," the woman said, changing the topic rather than reflecting on her tone.

"And he also said that your allowance is now empty after paying the fees of your Academy session, so you need to manage everything yourself," hearing the woman's words, anger flared in Alyssa's heart.

"Not like he gave me any before," Alyssa quietly spoke to herself.

She knew that her father would most likely cut her off, and this tournament was the chance for her to win and take the representative position which would make up for her allowance and help her gain some power inside the Academy for her goals.

"No matter what, even if I burn myself, I will take all those people down with me," Alyssa swore in her mind.

Somewhere in Soran, Alexander Astaria, who was arriving in his car with his son Alan, just got the message that Alyssa had arrived, and the caretaker would take her to the venue.

"Tch, I thought she would give up, but she still wants to participate," Alexander was annoyed that Alyssa still wanted to participate.

"What will that disabled girl do but stain our names?" Alan replied, hearing his father.

"You should just disown her," Alan's voice was full of hatred.

"It's not that easy as you think, and don't forget she is still your sister. Make sure you don't stain your public image over something stupid," Alexander looked at his son.

"I know father," Alan nodded.

"Many of the Elite families are attending, including us, and I don't need to tell you to perform well, do I?" Alexander looked at Alan.

"Don't worry father, I am sure only some of the participants could actually compete with me, let alone win," Alan confidently replied.

"Hahahaha, That's my boy," Alexander laughed and praised Alan to raise his spirits before the tournament.
