Why Should I Stop Being a Villain
chapter-144

It was the last day of the week and tomorrow, classes were said to be resumed with a new structure that was still being implemented.

Although Asher mostly knew what they would introduce, in his previous life, it happened in the second year, not the first. It was not hard for him to guess that his involvement with Erwin's expulsion and Alyssa still being in the Student Council had resulted in cracks in the structure of the World Academy.

Today, a particular class was called so that the First Years could be informed about the changes at World Academy.

"Why do you think they have called us?" A guy asked in his class.

"It's related to the new class structure, maybe. But I don't really know much about it," his friend replied.

It was Class 2's classroom, and the noise of students chatting with each other could be heard outside the class.

"Hey, why are you making such a face?" Damian asked Amelia.

"Why can't we leave the World Academy as well?" Amelia replied with a bored expression.

"You wanna meet the twins?" Damian asked.

"Yeah, all this is too boring," Amelia replied.

She didn't know that Lucas and Livia would enroll next year. Arthur had only told Asher about it because he was the family's heir. He was sure that Asher would not spread the information, as he knew the consequences of such an action.

Right now, many enemies of the Greville family were staying quiet because the twins were still far from reaching the age where they would join the World Academy. However, if the news that they were joining next year spread, there would be many cases where some people would try to harm them, despite the risk of dying.

Many families disliked the Greville family's growth, which had significantly increased after their alliance with the Raven family.

"Well, the yearly vacation is too far, so you must wait just like others," Damian replied.

Many students here missed their families, as they lived in an unknown place where their actions were being graded, and their future depended on how they utilized this opportunity.

The situation was fine for people like Damian and Amelia, as nobody messed with them due to their status. However, it was different for others who came from an ordinary background.

"Silence," a man with formal clothing entered the class with a stern look on his face.

The class went silent as they saw the man walk into the classroom.

It was Professor Terrence, who was in charge of Class 2, which included Amelia, Damian, and Lishia Halcyon.

Class 2 was one of the most powerful classes after Class 1, as they had 3 Rankers and tied with Class 4, where Kevin, Elena, and Eva were in.

"This is not an official class; all the First Years are called so that we can inform them of the new changes that will happen in World Academy's academic structure starting this year," Professor Terrence said as he looked around the class.

"We have changed mandatory subjects, and from now on, students can decide whatever class they want to enroll in," he said, surprising the class.

"But each subject will be given a difficulty rating on a scale of 10, and depending on whether the student has chosen easy or hard subjects, their grading will differ," Terrence said as he saw a few confused faces around the class.

In Class 4, at the same time,

"Professor, wasn't the previous structure better?" A guy raised his hand and asked Professor Dahlia, who was in charge of Class 4.

"Well, it was something we weren't going to implement, but after thorough discussion, we thought it was necessary," Professor Dahlia replied.

"And the reason for it was the scores of a certain student we received in the Theory test this time," she said as the list of Theory marks was revealed behind her.

Some students just looked away, as they didn't want to see their marks, but Eva looked at the top scorers as she saw herself at Rank 2.

"And the reason behind the decision should be pretty apparent if you look at Rank 1," Dahlia said as they all looked at a particular name.

"100 in all subjects??" A girl said out loud, but everyone in the class had similar reactions.

But apart from Eva, who couldn't believe that Asher had scored full marks in every single subject.

She knew that Asher had scored Rank 1 in all three tests, but she didn't know that in the Theory Test, he had scored full marks in every single subject.

"This structure will allow students to remove easier subjects and choose higher difficulty ones to get better grades," Dahlia explained.

"In our history, there was only one student before Asher Greville who had managed to score a similar score like this," she said, making everyone curious about who the student was.

"This structure was in discussion ever since that time, but we finally implemented it with many new things," Dahlia said.

Kevin just ignored the part, as he was sick of hearing about Asher's talent. Everyone was talking about Asher Greville, and he was tired of hearing his name. He had never experienced this feeling of not being noticed by others, as he was praised as a prodigy since his awakening.

In Class 1, a similar discussion was happening,

"And it was Sylvie Greville who was the one that scored a perfect score in theory," Elsa said with a smile while talking about her friend.

Everyone looked at Asher and thought it made sense that a son of a genius would also be a genius.

But Asher didn't care about this much. Even in his previous life, he had scored Rank 1 with a perfect score in theory, but it was not the reason for them changing the grading structure.

It was due to Asher achieving Rank 1 in all three tests that they implemented this new structure one year earlier so people like Eva and other students who focused on theory more could overtake Asher.

This change only focused on people who were more focused on theory, so they could choose those subjects and increase their ranks. It was a structure that would be implemented next year anyway, but considering Asher's actions since his first day at World Academy, they thought they needed to implement it now.

"Well, even now, you can choose more subjects, but keep in count what difficulty they fall in," Elsa said.

"If you choose high-difficulty subjects, that may affect your time that could have gone into training, and it will ultimately affect your rankings," Elsa advised.

"Well, that's only a minor change," Elsa said.

"There will be special classes in the future for the respective subjects you choose, and it will be discussed by the Professor that teaches those subjects," Her words made the students guess what the special classes could be.

"And the most important thing is the formation of your teams," she said.

"There will be two teams that you will be able to form: first, teams from your own class, which will have at least 3 students and at most 5," Elsa explained,

"All of the competitions that will happen with other classes will involve this team," she said.

"But as we are intent on increasing your Dungeon Experience and monster hunting skills as well, you will need to form a Hunting Team, which will consist of at least 6 people and at most 10," Elsa said, and this was the standard size of parties that were formed in Guilds all over the world.

"You will be able to form your hunting teams, but we are still discussing whether to allow you all to form teams with students from other classes, so we will inform you about it soon," Elsa said as many students got excited.

Forming teams with other classes meant they could form teams with some of their friends. Each class had different number of students that speciliaze in one thing. This was why the faculty council was discussing whether they should allow formation of teams of students with other classes.

"And Duel Class will become a permanent subject because it is deeply associated with the Rankings," Elsa explained.

"That's all we can tell you now, but there are a few more changes, and you will learn about them soon enough," Elsa said.

"And there is a little announcement about the Auction that will happen in two days," Elsa said, as many students got excited at this announcement.
