Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

445 Fall and Rise - XVI

"So this is the finished report?" Fernando asked.

"Hmm, there a few things here that are not explained," Fernando said looking at Asher.

"Just fix these things, the rest of the report is good enough,"

"In the meantime, I will arrange for your departure tomorrow," Fernando said.

The Trip to Halcyon was 12 days long, and today was the third day when Asher presented his final report.

"Anything else you need, just inform me," Fernando tapped his ID Bracelet.

Asher turned to leave as Fernando picked up the research report again.

"It's scary how fast he completed it," He muttered.

"Thank god, I delayed him yesterday,"

Fernando was surprised to see such a detailed report by Asher knowing that he had to redo his whole research.

Despite the rumors around Asher, and his cold personality, every Professor knew that Asher Greville was a genius in academics. The undisputed Rank 1 in all subjects, even Eva Williams who was regarded as a prodigy from a young age couldn't overtake him a single time.

That's why Fernando was trying so hard to point out mistakes that normally nobody would have pointed out.

Asher returned to his room and looked at the numerous calculations that he had done the past days.

He started adding all the things that Fernando had pointed out, as it wasn't difficult to mention the methods that Asher used and explain them.

Unlike his original report, this one was closely related to a research that was already done before.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Asher touched his heart as he didn't why he was feeling like this.

Since yesterday, he was feeling this strange feeling, and he felt restless. It was the first time he felt like this.

A person who had never once felt fear for something, was being restless but for what?

He himself didn't know the answer for it.

"Is it because I can't meet her?" Asher muttered.

A small smile appeared on his face, but he couldn't shake off this strange feeling.

"You are stupid," A young boy spoke,

"Watch how you speak kiddo," Damian as he clenched his fist.

"Don't forget I will be your senior when you join World Academy," Damian said while smiling.

Nate's eyes glanced down at Damian's fist.

"Anyway, don't get angry, but you really are stupid," Nate didn't sugarcoat his words.

"And why are you asking me for advice?" Nate asked.

"Ask Big Bro Asher or someone else," Nate said.

"This kid..." Damian muttered.

If he could, he would have asked someone else but the matter involved Asher and Amelia and his own personal feelings.

"Anyway, why don't you guys have a simple talk?" Nate said.

"Why make things so complicated? Just have a conversation and solve it,"

"But what if things go wrong?" Damian said as he scratched his head.

"Are you really my brother?" Nate asked as he tilted his head.

"I can't believe this musclehead is supposed to be my big brother," Nate sighed.

"Nate...," Damian said as he barely held himself.

Nate noticed that he was pushing Damian to his limits.

"Well, I am not the best person to give any suggestions here," Nate said.

"Just talk it out, and you will be fine," Nate said.

"I need to go now, it's time for my class," Nate said as he disconnected this call.

But before disconnecting, Nate looked like he was about to say something but felt a bit embarrassed to say it.

He wasn't great with words and would always argue with Damian, who always just accepted his insults.

"What am I doing bothering my younger brother for this," Damian sat back down.

He was thinking of ways to amend things between Amelia and him, as he didn't like the fact they were so awkward.

"When did things go this way, I wonder," Damian stared at the ceiling.

At times like these, Damian wondered if what he was doing was right or not. Unlike the past, he didn't know anymore what Amelia thought.

In the same Hotel,

Knock! Knock!

Alyssa heard a knock on her door as she moved her wheelchair and opened the door and there were people wearing black masks.

"This is the enhancer," One of them spoke.

The voice belonged to a woman, as Alyssa took the strange vial in her hands.

The people with black masks disappeared as Alyssa got a call on her ID Bracelet.

And the caller was Gavin Neville. Alyssa picked it up as Gavin's hologram became visible.

"I am sure you would have gotten the items," Gavin said.

"We will create the opportunity, but remember this is your only chance for your revenge," He said.

"Alan Astaria is already gathering the support of the Seven Seats to expel you in anyway possible,"

"So remember, I am giving you the opportunity to get the revenge you need," Gavin said.

Alyssa didn't say anything, as she let Gavin speak.

"Isn't this good for us, I can finally see that arrogant Alan fail, and you get your revenge,"

"While saving the reputation and future of Asher Greville," Gavin said.

Alyssa clenched her fist.

"Well, it wouldn't do good for the status of the Heir of the Greville Family that he is friends with a terrorist?" Gavin chuckled.

"Well, I am no better but you help 'us' and you get your revenge," He said.

"That enhancer is the latest drug that will amplify your mana and body's strength by a lot, enough to even multiple B Rank Hunters at the same time," Gavin explained.

Alyssa's eyes glowed for a second as she opened her fists and her drive for revenge started getting bigger.

Gavin disconnected the call as Alyssa's killing intent started filling the room.

"It's fine, It's fine, It's fine," Alyssa muttered.

"Everything will be fine after I do this," She muttered.

"Mother, I can finally do something for you, and I can help him as well," Alyssa looked at the vial in her hand.

Meanwhile in the Royal Castle,

Leonard was sitting drinking wine while looking at the card in his hand.

"You worry too much Reece," Leonard said.

"It's better to have full control over such people, one mistake and the whole plan would go to waste," Leonard said.

"But that artifact has limited use, I am not sure if it's worth using it," Reece said.

"Don't worry, I trust my eyes and from what I have seen, this will be worth it," Leonard said.

"What's the progress with 'that' artifact," Leonard asked.

"It's ready to be used on your orders," Reece replied.

"That's good, hahaha," Leonard laughed.

Reece disconnected the call as Leonard kept laughing as he looked at the night sky full of stars.

"I wonder what expressions you would show," Leonard said.

Leonard flipped the card like artifact that had many names engraved on it, and red jewel in the middle was glowing.

Among the many names written on it, the last one was 'Alyssa Astaria'.

It was the next morning,

"Good Morning Students, you will continue your Dungeon Exploration today as well, but you are free to explore the city tomorrow," Arman said.

"But we will make group of 50 students so give us the names of the people you want to be with, we will make groups by taking that in consideration," Arman said.

Every single one of them got excited as they could finally enjoy the trip.

"For the dungeon raid, the groups will remain the same, you can join your mentors," Arman said.

"Nice, we can explore tomorrow!" Kevin said out loud.

"Someone is excited," Eva chuckled.

Kevin glanced at Elena, and Elena smiled understanding Kevin's intentions.

"I asked Lishia to tell me a few good spots, we can explore tomorrow," Elena said.

"But let's complete the task for today early so we can rest and enjoy tomorrow," Elena added.

Amelia and Eva nodded with a smile, as everyone went toward their mentors.

At the Royal Guild Headquarters,

"What do you mean, we have no task for today?" A man with a group of hunters asked.

"Exactly what I said, there is a shift as we don't need extra people, the orders came from above so no point arguing with me," The man at the reception said.

"Ah, and we were looking to earn some quick money," The man said.

"Anyway, ping us when a new task or dungeon request comes up," He said waving his hand and leaving with his group.

The man at the reception updated the patrolling duty as he canceled the requests that were up.

"Why do they even add such request if they wanted to remove them later," He said while editing all the request at the guild.
