Why Should I Stop Being a Villain
chapter-348

348 Fourth Day Starts

"How did she win?" Lishia blurted out, and both Kiara and Jodie shared her confusion.

In the VIP Room,

"Will she be alright?" Livia asked, casting a worried glance at Sylvie.

"She will be fine," Sylvie patted Livia's head.

"How did she win, though?" Lucas asked while looking at the stage.

He was curious, and Helena looked at the look on the young boy's face and smiled.

"The answer is in front of you," Helena said, but Lucas was confused.

"Look at those wounds. Do they look like wounds from an explosion," Helena asked, and Lucas looked at the footage of Amelia winning that was being replayed, but those wounds were from cuts, not an explosion.

But it confused Lucas even more.

"She used another spell at the center of the explosion to push her opponent out of the stage," Helena said.

At the last moment, just before approaching the globe that was about to explode, Amelia forcefully generated a powerful Wind Blast Spell that produced blades of wind and spread them all around. She then augmented that spell to finish before Elena's spell.

Both of them used a half chant, but Amelia used one of the many techniques she learned, which was using her own mana to manipulate and place her spell inside a space that was dominated by another person's mana.

It wasn't a feat to achieve at her level if not for the Greville Bloodline she had, and that was why Sylvus was impressed by this battle.

"She is used one of the Principals of Mana, something you have learned as well," Helena added.

"But the method she used was something only an augmenter can do," Helena said.

And on the Center Area, Farnus stood up to announce the end of the day. While the other Seat Holders did the same, Dalton was surprised by the outcome, but he didn't let it show on his face.

"Although there were many exciting matches, the Third Day ends now, and the next match will start tomorrow," Farnus announced as every student in the Arena stood up.

Kevin, on the other hand, rushed to look at Elena's condition, but the Staff member told him she was being taken to the medical ward.

He arrived at the Medical Facility soon, but the Doctors stopped him from entering as Elena was being treated.

"I hope she is fine," Kevin said as he sat down on an empty seat.

He was not worried about Elena's physical condition. He was worried that this loss might have affected her more deeply, emotionally and mentally.

After waiting for 10 minutes, he was allowed to visit Elena, and he saw Elena sitting on the Bed with her head on her knees.

Her body was wrapped in bandages, and Kevin was glad that she was fine, but he didn't know how to approach her at the moment.

"I am fine," Elena muttered while not facing Kevin.

"It's fine, Elen-" Kevin was speaking, but he stopped as Elena shouted,

"Kevin, I am fine. I just need some time alone," Elena said, raising her voice,

"I don't want you to see me like this," Elena said as Kevin stopped midway and took a step back.

"Okay," Kevin muttered as he left the room soon after.

Elena raised her head as she saw the door close, but her eyes were filled with tears, which she wanted to hide from Kevin.

She didn't think she would lose like this, not after all the training she did. But losing to the Sister of the person she hated the most made it even worse.

"I can't believe I lost to her," Elena muttered as she clenched the bedsheet.

Amelia, on the other hand, was taken to a Separate Medical Facility, and Livia and Lucas had come to visit her with Damian.

"And you were calling me out for being reckless," Damian said as he looked at Amelia, who was hiding under her bedsheet.

"I won, so it doesn't matter," Amelia replied as she peeked out of the bedsheet.

"Are you really fine?" Livia asked as she looked at Amelia with eyes full of worry.

"I am fine, I just got a bit carried away while fighting," Amelia replied,

"Excuse me, you should let her rest for her now," The Nurse came in and politely told Damian and the twins.

At first, the Medical Staff was surprised by the twins, but the rumors about the Grandus and Greville twins were spreading, so they didn't stop them or anything.

"You can enter my Floor. I have given you access to it," Amelia reminded Livia as she was about to leave.

"Ok!!" Livia nodded her head as she pushed Lucas and Damian to leave the room.

"She needs rest to hurry up!" Livia said as she pushed both of them.

Amelia chuckled.

"Eek," Amelia said as she felt the pain in her wounds.

It was better for them to heal naturally if they had the time, but this time, she consumed a bit of healing potion that increased the speed at which her wounds healed.

But it would take at least a day for her to completely heal herself. After all, mages didn't possess aura, so their natural healing rate was slower than those who possessed aura.

And to her advantage, the wound that hurt her came from her own spell, so she could recover much faster.

Although Amelia was happy that she won, she wanted to show a better win to the twins, as their older siblings.

Although the day had ended, for the whole world that was watching the tournament, lots of things were happening.

From Alyssa's win to people criticizing World Academy for allowing someone from the Garcia Family to even attend such a prestigious place.

Each Continent had its own favorites, as Lishia was for Halcyon, and Kevin's group was for Desmar.

But Elena and Eva's defeat today made people question if their previous assumptions were true.

Due to the fact that not much information about World Academy leaked outside, the End Year Tournament was the one place where people judged these students.

Normally, the speed of the tournament was much lower, so these matches wouldn't have happened on the same day, but now they did. People were questioning whether they were right in placing their bets on Rothschild or the Williams family.

Amelia looked at the door as she let go of her thoughts.

"He really didn't come," Amelia muttered.

She thought Asher would visit her like Damian and the twins did.

"I should go to sleep," Amelia shook her head.

***

The Arena was filled with students and other people who were in the VIP or Guild Section, and everyone was looking at the Main Area, where many portals were opening.

Farnus was the first to step in, as were Silvus, Alfred, Osbert, Dalton, and Xarax, and after them, there were some new guests.

And the first of them was Dexter Wright himself, who had come out of his busy schedule to see these matches.

And the second one was Joseph Kimir Cranston.

Some of the invited people this year who didn't come were Nathan and Marvin Watson and the third SSS Rank Hunter of the World Association.

"It's a shame that some of the Guests couldn't attend," Farnus said as he took his seat.

Dexter had a stern look on his face as he sat on his Seat while Joseph maintained his calm face.

He was the only one who knew that Nathan was in possession of two SSS Rank Mana Gems, but surprisingly, he didn't spread the information to others.

Even Nathan expected Joseph to do something like this because there was no alliance between the three strongest Elite Families.

All of them sitting here were the Seat Holders, and their influence was quite huge on the World.

"Why I am seeing all your faces so many times this year," Dexter said as he looked at the stage.

"Don't worry, you will see us again on the day High Council gathers," Xarax said, but Dexter was just annoyed by all this.

First, the Kalvas Gala, now the End Year Tournament, and then High Council Meetings. It was rare for the Seat Holders to see each other so often, and Dexter wasn't happy because he had a responsibility to attend such events.

"I am more surprised that the Chairman of Mage Association is less annoyed than me," Dexter said.

"I have my reasons, Dexter," Silvus replied.

Dexter was the only one who had connections with everyone, but he didn't take any sides. His excellence in his craft was essential for every single SSS Rank Hunter, as making weapons and armor that could withstand their power wasn't an easy task.

"Well, let's not get distracted. The Tournament is about to start," Farnus said.

"Welcome back, everyone, to the End Year Tournaments' Fourth Day," A man standing on the stage said as everyone got excited.

"There are a lot of interesting matches today, but we will start with the First One," Gazil said as many students cheered up.

"And for the first match, we have," Gazil opened his list, and even he was surprised.

"It is between Amelia Von Greville vs. Rank 1 Asher Von Greville," Gazil said as many people were surprised.

"Hoh, a match between siblings, how interesting," Dexter said out loud.

And even Osbert raised his eyebrows as he didn't expect something like this.

'This old fox,' Osbert thought as he glanced at Farnus.

He knew something was up with the way Farnus had changed the Tournament, and with the rumors about Grandus and Greville Twins, Osbert was waiting for it to be revealed.

Amelia stepped out of her room, and so did Asher, and after a few seconds, both of them approached the stage.

'Let's see what will happen,' Farnus thought in his mind.

Asher stepped onto the stage as his indifferent eyes looked at Amelia.

Nobody knew, but the moment the End Year Tournament began, everything had worked as Farnus wanted.
