Why Should I Stop Being a Villain
chapter-101

Erwin got on his knees as Xander released the pressure of the SS Rank Hunter overpowering him. But the deed was done. Though it was only a scratch, Erwin had attacked Asher with the intent of killing him.

"The class is dismissed. All of you leave. Staff, carry these children to the Medical Block," Xander ordered the staff members, who immediately started carrying the unconscious students.

"ASHER!!" Damian dashed towards Asher using mana and arrived near him. "Are you fine?" he asked, but Asher just nodded.

"Asher Greville, follow me. It will be a long day today," Xander said, turning and leading the way. Asher followed him.

"Dammit, I should inform Amelia about this," Damian scratched the back of his neck, thinking about his next move.

"Leonard Tarvian, you can leave as well, and you should know that third-years are not allowed here until after the assessment test," Xander gave Leonard a stern look, but the latter just smiled.

"Of course, I will pay the fine. Don't worry," Leonard said, as his eyes shifted to Asher.

"I would like to have a more casual meeting, but it seems today is not the day," Leonard said and turned, grabbing the guy who was on his knees, still trembling with his collar, and stood him up.

"Ah, Leon, my bad--" The guy tried to justify his situation, but Leonard glared at him, so he could only stand with his head down.

Xander brought out Rank S Mana Restriction bracelets and made Erwin, who was quiet the whole time, wear it. Asher was told to wait as he sat on a sofa in Xander's personal office, thinking about what happened just a few minutes ago.

Asher leaned back and massaged his head. He didn't think that he would have no control over himself. Although it was a serious issue to explain how he carried such bloodlust, Xander would probably stay away from asking him about this, but he wanted to suppress his urges as much as he could for now.

*Ping*

A system notifications brought Asher out of his thoughts.

[ Hidden Quest Completed ]

Objective : Get Professor Erwin out of the World Academy

Rewards : 500 Fate points

Not only would Erwin have to leave, but he would also mostly be killed either by Greville or the Raven or the person because of whom Erwin attacked Asher.

"Finally," Asher thought to himself, but he was calm.

Asher thought of the SSS Rank Elixir, and a small golden vial came into his hand. This was the first step Asher would take to truly change his destiny and the advent of chaos in this world.

But was destiny truly such a fickle thing that a mortal could try and change? Nobody knew, neither Asher nor the thing that helped Asher come back in time. But Asher was determined to change his destiny, and destiny was determined to destroy him.

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

Farnus Calmort was sitting and looking at the documents in front of him when he saw a staff member urgently coming into his office. Usually, nobody would disturb him this early, but the look on the staff's face made Farnus confused.

"What happened?" Farnus asked, but the staff's next words made his eyes widen.

Farnus regained his composure quite quickly. "Pass the judgment, no need for the council," he said. The punishment was clear, and Farnus saw no need for the council to debate what should happen to Erwin.

"Erwin will be expelled from the World Academy," Farnus said. He knew what he was doing, and he didn't mind it one bit. He was basically giving Erwin openly to Greville for them to do whatever they wanted.

Somaria was literally the territory owned by Greville and Raven. Even the Demarcus family was a neutral family that didn't oppose Greville in any way. But given their relations, Demarcus was an ally to Greville as well.

Ten minutes later, Xander had entered his office to see Asher, who was sitting quietly on the sofa. But in Xander's eyes, he couldn't forget the killing intent he felt from Asher. "How does this boy have so much killing intent?" Xander had many theories, but he could not openly ask the heir of another family such questions.

"Erwin will be expelled. Do you want any other actions?" Xander asked, although his authority was not above Farnus. But nobody else had more authority than him in the World Academy.

"Entry to trial grounds?" Asher asked with an indifferent look despite knowing the answer.

"We could only do anything that's within World Academy," Xander replied as he sat opposite Asher. "You should know clearly what High Council dictated when World Academy was created," he said.

"Then I shall leave," Asher stood up.

Neither Asher nor Xander spoke anything. Both of them knew that they were not in a position to speak so casually with each other.

Xander saw Asher leave and looked at his hand where a small cut was present. Xander's aura alone was enough to negate damage from Erwin's sword, but for saving Asher, he activated his Aura a bit late. But the cut was not deep enough, and it would heal with some high-level potions.

"I don't know what the Principal is thinking," Xander remembered Farnus's order not to interrogate Erwin. Xander had found Erwin's action a bit strange.

Although Xander did not talk much about the vast amount of killing intent that came out of Asher, he wanted to know why Erwin moved to save Leonard.

But as Farnus had declared his judgment, he could not ask Erwin any questions, and he remembered Erwin didn't speak anything defending himself either. It was strange for a guy who talked so much to go so quiet.

Meanwhile, Damian was telling Amelia about the incident, "What is he fine?" Amelia got shocked and got up from her seat and tried to leave, but Damian stopped her.

"Wait, he is fine. Vice-Principal Xander took him for something, but he was fine," Damian explained to her, and it helped calm Amelia's heart, which had almost stopped thinking that Asher could have died if not for Xander's intervention.

Despite not liking Asher, she had always seen him as an older brother that appeared calm and collected no matter the situation. She had looked up to Asher, but their relationship had gone a bit sour. But she still didn't hate Asher at all.

"I should inform Mom about this," she said and typed something on her phone.

"I'm glad he's fine," she muttered.

"Glad your big brother is fine?" Damian teased Amelia to calm her down.

"Shut up, that mean bastard is still the heir of our family. I don't care what happens to him either way, I just care about my family," Amelia said as she glared at Damian.

"Okay, okay, calm down," Damian chuckled a bit, which annoyed Amelia even more.

But there was one person who was not happy at all, in fact, he was raging with anger.

"I-I am sorry," a guy who was beaten to a pulp apologized again and again, fearing that he would get beaten up again.

"Shut him up," Leonard said as he turned, and more people started beating that student.

He was the same guy who had followed Leonard, but he had no idea why he was getting punished so hard.

"Hey, it seems too much," one of the guys who was beating him said to others.

"Shut up, don't let Leon hear you say this, otherwise it will be your turn," another student advised him.

In another room, Leonard was walking as he punched the wall, which was enforced with mana, but his punch was strong enough to damage it.

"Dammit," Leonard cursed.

"Father would not like this," he had not only lost Erwin, the pawn that was planted by them inside World Academy.

But Leonard didn't think that the heir of the Greville family would be this outstanding.

Leonard was a B Rank Hunter and was in his third year, but he was sure that Asher would at least be able to reach B Rank in his second year, considering his speed.

"I thought I only needed to look after that Whiteheart boy, but this will be difficult," Leonard could not see a way to trap down Asher.

Among the elite families, there were some families that were considered the most powerful among all the elite families. These were those families that had maintained their spot in the High Council from the start, unlike others who had reached this pedestal by stepping over the fallen families.

The first were the Greville family.

The second were the Hargrave family.

And the third most powerful family was the Cranston family.

Among all the elite families, these were considered the strongest families that had SSS Rank Hunters and were present from the beginning of High Council.

Halcyon Royal Family was also present from the start of High Council, but their standing was not so strong due to them having no SSS Rank hunters in their families currently.

"I need to find his weakness," Leonard thought in his mind.

Currently, Asher knew nothing about him, but seeing that killing intent, he was confused why Asher reacted in such a way. Maybe it was due to his pride or something else, but that killing intent was not normal.

Leonard was thinking to exploit Asher somehow, but he didn't know that Asher was already aware of his moves. And even the moves he could pull in the future.

A lot of things were happening around the world at the same time, chaos was brewing.
