Why Should I Stop Being a Villain
chapter-88

Asher and Alyssa came out of the building and were heading towards the exchange sector to go back.

Alyssa was quiet as they got inside the exchange sector, and after their identification, they stopped in front of the portal.

Alyssa stepped in, and after her, Asher did the same.

They were coming out of the exchange sector when they saw two people in black uniforms waiting outside the entry of the exchange sector.

Jack looked at Asher, and seeing his red eyes, he immediately knew who Asher was.

Asher's face was indifferent, and he did not react at all after seeing Jack and the guy behind him.

Jack walked up to Asher and greeted him while maintaining his kind appearance.

"Hello, I am Jack Allister, and I am from the Student Council," Jack introduced himself.

"I need you guys to come with me because our president wanted to meet you guys," he smiled as he looked at Asher.

Alyssa was ignored by both Jack and the guy behind him.

Asher's eyes met Jack, and he stood there without saying anything.

"Umm?" Jack got confused after getting no reply from Asher.

'Why is this bastard staying quiet?' Jack thought in his mind without a single change in his facial expressions.

"Tell her, I am busy," Asher replied.

"Excuse me?" Jack got confused by Asher's reply.

His reaction was like this because the Student Council was a symbol of authority, and being a member of the Student Council, many students respected and feared him. But the person who called Asher and Alyssa was not a normal senior student; it was the Student Council President herself.

She was one of the most talented individuals inside the World Academy, and being a beauty, everyone admired and respected her. After the professors, the most authority lied in the hands of the Student Council president, and it was a very rare occurrence when someone denied her orders.

If it were a Senior Student who was in some faction, it would make sense, but it was a freshman first year who rejected her invitation blatantly.

"I don't want to be rude, but you can't reject our President's order," the guy behind Jack spoke with an annoyed look on his face.

His voice showed his arrogant nature. Maybe it was the fact he was one of Jack Allister's lackeys, he somehow got the confidence to speak up against Asher.

'This idiot,' Jack thought in his mind.

"Oh really, and who are you to tell me?" Asher got closer to the senior student.

Asher's killing intent started leaking, and the senior year got frozen just by feeling Asher's bloodlust. He was a second-year student who got lucky to get in the Student Council by following Jack around. He was a D Rank hunter, and for a second-year student, this was considered only moderately good. He was not a genius, but not all members of the Student Council were geniuses.

The Student Council was a combination of many types of students who had their own worth, and unfortunately for this guy, strength was not exactly his main quality.

"Repeat your words," Asher got closer, but Jack immediately interrupted him.

"Don't go overboard, Heir Greville," Jack spoke with a serious look on his face.

"And you apologize to him," Jack turned and looked at the second-year student.

"Ah- I am sorry," he immediately apologized to Asher.

"He might have been rude, but he is indeed right; you cannot outright reject the president's summon," Jack tried to explain it to Asher.

"Are you deaf?" Asher looked straight into Jack's eyes.

"Tell your president that we will meet her tomorrow," Asher said, ignoring Jack's advice and forging ahead.

Alyssa quietly followed Asher, as she would do what Asher wanted for now, instead of going against him.

"Wait, Jack, can't you pressure him to go with you?" the guy finally spoke out, seeing that Asher was a bit far away now.

"Come here," Jack pointed at the guy, and as he came near Jack, he saw Jack punch him in the stomach.

"Urkkk, cough cough," the guy coughed as he held his stomach with both hands due to the pain.

"Don't talk in between when I am talking," Jack said as he glared at the guy.

His face had completely changed, and his kind appearance was not present at all. If anybody could see his face, they would not even think that he could have a gentle aura around him.

"S-Sorry," the guy apologized as he coughed up a bit more.

Jack got annoyed with Asher's arrogant nature, but due to the fact that his idiot lackey had acted arrogantly, he could not force Asher to come with him.

"My reputation will go down in front of the President like this," Jack muttered as he pushed his hair back.

But for now, he needed to inform the Student Council President about Asher's response.

"Even that pink-haired bitch ignored me," Jack's blood was boiling, seeing that Alyssa also got away with Asher.

"Oh, isn't this Senior Jack?" Jack heard some voices as some students came out of the exchange sector.

His appearance changed immediately as he picked up the guy and gave him a shoulder. His face had gone back to his usual gentle look.

"Did some fight happen here?" the students talked among themselves as they saw Jack helping the guy.

"Don't make a fuss here," Jack whispered, making the guy quietly act like he was injured.

"Senior Jack looks so cool and kind. Isn't he a perfect student?" a girl talked.

"Keep dreaming; he will never become your boyfriend," her friend teased the girl.

Jack had carefully maintained his good reputation around the World Academy as a kind person. Only a few people knew about his true personality. Jack was the perfect example of people who will weaken to strong and strong to weak. And due to the fact that he came from an Elite family, not many students could harm him.

While in a completely different building, a girl with long white hair and light blue eyes was looking at the documents in front of her.

"Did Jack complete the assignment I gave him?" She asked the guy who had just come in.

"Umm, President, actually, that Asher Greville has rejected your invitation and told Jack that he will come tomorrow," the guy nervously told the girl in front of her.

"Hoh," the girl looked up, and a smile appeared on her face.

"I didn't think that somebody would reject my invitation, and a first-year as well," she said as the room got a bit heavy.

"Let's do the meeting tomorrow then," a guy replied, who was also present in the room.

"That boy is the heir of the Greville family, and we should avoid conflicts from our side," he suggested to the white-haired girl.

"Eva and Elena told him about his rotten personality, but I didn't think he would be this rude," the girl spoke.

"Sigh, let's do the meeting tomorrow, but we need to teach our juniors how to respect their seniors a bit," she said as a cold smile appeared on her face.

After the first class, there were no other classes, so the students were mostly exploring the World Academy.

It was evening, and Asher was sitting in his living room, using his computer to gather information about the outside world. After doing this for about half an hour, he got up and removed his t-shirt, exposing his well-chiseled body. He then changed into gym attire.

He walked up to the room that said "Meditation Chamber" and opened it. This room was covered with white tiles, with a black spot in the middle.

He wanted to break through to D- Rank, as he had been at the peak of E+ Rank for a week now. This was one of the reasons why he did not accept the invitation of the Student Council President today and wanted to meet them tomorrow.

He waited to break through inside the World Academy because he could see Alyssa most of the time without forcing her to meet him. Alyssa was like a cure for Asher. He was controlling his inner madness because of the fact that he could see Alyssa. He himself didn't know why he felt calm around Alyssa, neither in his previous life nor in this one.

He remembered the warning Nathan gave him regarding the Rune of Eirdin and how he would have to fight his bad memories whenever he ranked up. So, after getting inside the World Academy, Asher decided to finally break through to D- Rank. He had wasted enough time at E+ Rank, and he knew that he needed to become stronger faster than in his previous life to actually change his destiny.

He went and sat around the center and crossed his legs, sitting in a meditation pose. After a while, the mana around the room started to flow inside Asher's body. Instead of flowing inside his whole body, the mana was trying to circle around the mana core and the rings around it. This was a delicate step that needed to be performed carefully, as implications during the ring formation could greatly affect the rank up.
