Why Should I Stop Being a Villain
chapter-374

374 System Feature

In his room, Asher, who was practicing his mana, felt the connection from Rifir.

Due to the fact that Rifir was bound to Asher directly, he could sense Rifir anytime he tried to do so.

Even when Rifir was far away from him, Asher just needed to concentrate for a bit to connect with Rifir.

He opened his eyes to see a blackish cloud gather around in a circle as Rifir appeared out of it.

Rifir's blood iris stared at Asher as he opened his jaw, and the necklace appeared out of it.

Asher looked at it, and the necklace didn't look weird at all.

Just like when he took an object out of a spatial ring, it looked the same.

The black energy dissipated as Rifir felt tired of using teleportation, and he went back into the black tattoo that appeared on Asher's forearm.

Escape of Nightdream

The alarm that would alert the Security System of World Academy wasn't going off because Tom had already updated the Mana Frequency of this artifact in the database of World Academy.

Nobody was aware of the fact that Asher was holding an SS Rank Artifact right now.

Ping!

Suddenly, he heard a sound from his ID Bracelet.

It was a reminder about the small competition that was going to happen with the students of different academies that have come to secure their chance at entering the Trials Ground next year.

Nobody could claim that they had the authority over Trials Ground, so even though it was mostly limited to World Academy's students.

But those who had missed the chance but showed enough results that qualified them to enter that place could do so.

Asher also remembered that all the First Year Classes would send at least five teams each to compete in this competition.

Elsa wanted her class to win because if they won, they would classified as the Strongest class among all five classes.

And she would gain more authority in the Faculty Council.

For Professors, the more improvement their students showed, the more merit points they would get.

Unlike GP, Merit Points for the Professors allowed them to make changes and have more authority in certain matters.

It was like a small competition between all the 3 Star Professors, which Elsa wanted to win.

Although both the class and Professor would benefit if they won, unfortunately for Elsa, Asher was not going to join in.

Not in the start, at least, because he wouldn't be inside World Academy itself.

Typing a scheduled message that would work as a perfect excuse, Asher held the necklace in his hands.

"You can use that feature, right?" Asher asked.

While hunting in the Great Forest, Asher had reached Level 36, which was very close to Level 40, and the system notified him that part of System Shop had been opened.

[ Yes, but Host can only use this feature once before you reach Level 40 ]

[ But Host could only ask for enhancing items ]

System couldn't do many things because of the restriction that came with the Curse that Asher had.

But it still could give him one item that would work as an enhancer, but unlike the enhancers that were common in this world, the system offered something completely different.

When Asher got to know about this, he first asked if the enhancer items were the same as the ones they studied in Runic Arts.

"Can you enhance this artifact?" Asher asked.

[ Due to the strength of this artifact, the Host can choose to do so, but the Fate Points consumed might be high ]

"I want to increase the use limit of this artifact," Asher said as some strange runes appeared in front of him.

[ Searching for.... ]

[ Analyzing the properties of the artifact.... ]

[ This Artifact could be enhanced to be usable five times each week ]

[ The Cost would be 3000 Fate Points ]

[ Pulling Host's Status ]

"So this is the reward for that quest," Asher said as he looked at the extra 2000 fate points he had.

"That means that Jayden Hargrave really won," Asher muttered.

In his previous life, it was Reece who overpowered Jayden and won.

It was a bit unexpected because Reece had returned to the World Academy after months of rest.

But this time, that was not the case.

"Do it," Asher gave confirmation to the system.

[ Deducting 3000 Fate Points..... ]

Suddenly, purple runes appeared as they revolved around the artifact, and a glow appeared on the necklace.

There were multiple notifications, but after a minute or so, the runes disappeared and the necklace looked the same.

[ Limitation has been changed successfully ]

Asher stood up to leave his room for a bit.

If he was not wrong, Lucas must be on this floor as well.

Lucas had come back after spending some time exploring with Livia and Amelia, but when he saw the door to Asher's room was closed.

He quietly went back to sleep as he didn't want to disturb Asher.

"This note should be enough," Asher said as he placed a holo note outside the training room.

He entered the training room.

"Start 12-hour sequence," Asher said as the light around the training room changed.

The mana around the room started to change while the gravity around the room increased.

<Initiating Ranker's Sequence: Locking the training room for 12 hours>

"This should be enough to keep them out," Asher looked back as the door of the training room was now locked.

Asher wore the necklace as it started shining.

***

In Belvoria, it was around 5 PM in the evening,

In the Neville Family Mansion, the Family Head of the Nevill Family was sitting in his room when the Butler knocked on the door.

"Enter," A voice of the middle-aged man said as the Butler entered the room.

"Master, there were two requests to meet you," He said as the middle-

aged man looked at the list of people who were requesting a meeting from him.

"Hmm, did they say their motive?" He asked.

"They said it was about their business expansion," The Butler replied.

"Haha, now they are coming crawling at my feet?" The middle-aged man laughed.

"Tell them I will meet with them after a week," He said with a shrewd smile on his face.

"Master, about the people that were involved with the recent incident?" The Butler.

"Do as you feel like with them, but make sure our name doesn't come out in any way," He said as the Butler smiled as he left the room soon after.

The Butler was walking out in the Hallway that was empty, but in the Main Mansion, there were multiple A Rank Hunters that were moving around as guards.

And a few S Rank Hunters as well.

After all, this was the Mansion where the Family Head of the Neville Family lived, so it was obvious it would be quite grand.

But suddenly, as the Butler was moving, he stopped suddenly as his eyes got wide, and he tried to grab his neck.

"AGh, aghh, agggh," The Butler tried to struggle, but it was futile.

"Sleep well, old man," Dane muttered as he looked down at the body that fell on the floor.

"Carry him," A voice came in Dane's year as he looked back at Asher, who was wearing a white suit and a black mask.

Knock! Knock!

"What did you forget about something?" Neville's head said as he thought the butler had come back.

He could feel the mana presence of the butler, but as the door opened, he saw three men entering the room with his butler, who was unconscious.

In a single moment, the Neville Head's eyes went wide as he got shocked and angry at the same time.

Just by looking at the suit and the mask, he could recognize the person standing before him.

"Zephyr!" He muttered while Asher casually walked and sat on the seats in front of the Neville Head.

"It seems I am quite famous that even the Neville Head knows about me," Asher, who was wearing the black mask, said as he stared right at the Neville Head.

The Neville Head was confused by what was happening.

How could someone walk so casually in his office?

He had multiple security runes, and multiple strong hunters were guarding this mansion.

Even if someone wanted to come in, he himself would have noticed them.

After all, the Neville Head wasn't some weak person either. He was one of the Seat Holders and also a powerful Hunter.
