Why Should I Stop Being a Villain-Novel

"It was a new day at World Academy, and every person was either saying or hearing Asher's name being mentioned again and again.

"Woah, the first Student Council President, now a professor," a third-year guy said to his friends as they were walking to their classes.

"Well, when do you think they will activate the effect of that artifact?" another guy asked, clearly not interested in the gossip.

"I don't know, maybe after the assessment test of the first years. I am near my breakthrough, and I don't want to spend my GP on those meditation rooms," a guy sighed.

"You are speaking like you will be able to beat any of the rankers," his friend laughed.

"They are just people with more resources. Look at the Student Council President; she couldn't even control a first-year," he replied with an annoyed look.

"Well, most of the influential students are joining the Blood Faction, but still, I would prefer it if Student Council wins the bet," he said.

Similar talks were happening, and inside the Student Council room, Raelyn was sitting on her seat while Tyrone was also present there.

"Did you ask Kevin what really happened there?" Tyrone asked as he was curious about yesterday's events.

"He doesn't know, and Vice Principal Xander had closed the mouths of other students as well," Raelyn replied with a frown on her face.

She had not expected Kevin to lose to Asher so many times, and what surprised her even more was that Asher won against more than 20 students.

"Don't you think we should treat him carefully?" Tyrone suggested, but Raelyn glared back at him.

"Do you want me to cooperate with that bastard?" Her words made Tyrone sigh.

He had heard about the incident that happened at Asher's birthday party with Elena, but it was Elena's fault for challenging Asher.

"Only if Reece were here, we could have more support among the fourth-years," Raelyn said with a defeated look on her face.

But hearing Reece's name made Tyrone's expression change a bit, though it came back to normal pretty quickly.

"Raelyn, even Williams will not help you against Greville," Tyrone said.

"Leave Williams. No sane person would go against Greville openly. All the Elite families stay away from Somaria because of that reason," Tyrone said with a serious look.

"And considering your family-" Tyrone stopped as he thought he was going too far.

Judging by Raelyn's expression, he was right. Hearing that her family was not capable of standing against someone was not the most pleasant thing for Raelyn. In fact, she hated being looked down upon.

Just because Whiteheart was the newest addition to the Elite families, she didn't receive the same respect as other Elite family children. Raelyn worked hard and became the top of the third-year with her efforts, even claiming the Student Council President's seat for herself.

She took pride in her efforts and her family, but listening to Tyrone, she thought if only her fiance Reece Williams were here, things would have been much smoother.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Come in," Raelyn said, but as she saw the person, her frown deepened.

"Don't greet me like this," Leonard said as he sat down on one of the sofas.

"What's the reason for your visit?" Tyrone came and sat in front of Leonard.

"Woah, I am also a member of Student Council, aren't I?" Leonard chuckled.

"Leon, no need for jokes. What's the reason behind your visit?" Tyrone's face was completely serious.

"Tsk, I wanted to see how the big sister was doing because her little brother isn't doing well at all," Leonard's words made Raelyn flare her mana, but she didn't move from her seat.

"You also want to get rid of the heir of the Greville family, right?" Leonard smiled, but Tyrone spoke out.

"Are you afraid he will stand with us?" A sudden thought came to Tyrone's mind, so he decided to gamble it.

"Didn't he fight with our Student Council President here?" Leonard shrugged his shoulders.

'Did this bastard catch on to my plan?' Leonard thought in his mind.

"Well, I don't know, we don't have any issues here," Tyrone spoke, which made Leonard a bit frustrated, but he didn't show it on his face.

"We clearly have some issues, but not major ones, and should the son of the World Association's Chairman be saying such words?" Tyrone replied, and Leonard stood up.

"I wanted to help you guys, but never mind. I look forward to the Year End Tournament," With a smirk on his face, Leonard left the room.

"Why did you stop me?" Raelyn asked finally now that Leonard Tarvian had left the room.

Previously, Tyrone had signaled Raelyn not to speak anything when he was moving to sit in front of Leon, so Raelyn didn't reply to anything Leon said until now.

"Trust me, Raelyn, just ignore the first years for now," Tyrone always believed in his gut feelings, and something inside him was telling him not to go against Asher.

"Do you have enough GP for the next auction, though?" Tyrone changed the topic.

"I don't, but I can access Reece's funds, so I have enough to bid on the last artifacts," Raelyn replied.

But as Tyrone was speaking, he suddenly got a notification in his ID Bracelet. He opened the hologram and saw a message from a certain person.

He quickly closed the hologram, so Raelyn thought it was some useless message.

"I will go practice for a while," Tyrone told Raelyn, and Raelyn waved her hand, thinking everything was normal.

The next month went by, and World Academy was peaceful, not exactly peaceful, but nothing major happened after the Erwin incident.

There were some changes to the First Year subject, such as the Duel Class being shifted from a common class to a normal subject.

The Sword Arts class was taken over by Xander for now. Until they choose a new Professor for it, Xander was personally handling that class. This made many Second Year Students jealous as only the first years could enjoy learning from Xander, who was a famous swordsman amongst the SS Rank Hunters.

"So your Assessment Test is scheduled next month, so start preparing for it," Elsa told her class.

"Professor, can you tell us about the structure of the test?" a girl asked Elsa.

Class 1 had gotten pretty comfortable with each other, and it was the most peaceful class amongst all five classes. At least that's what all the students from a normal background felt.

For influential students, this class felt like jail. There were some students who had thoughts about standing up to Asher, but when they heard about Asher's duel with 20 students, nobody even dared to step up to him to say anything.

Power and a strong background were everything in this world, and Asher was born with both.

"For the written test, everything basic that you are taught and could learn from the library could be asked in the test," Elsa said, but her words made some students even more anxious.

"So better start reading some books if you don't want to fail," Elsa shrugged her shoulders.

"For the practical test, it will be physical test scores and clearing a dungeon with the random teams we make for you guys," Elsa said, but she noticed a hand from one of the students.

"Can't we make our own teams?" a boy asked. Getting into a dungeon with random students was not entirely favorable.

"You can, but we will up the dungeon rank to make it fair. And if you step out of the dungeon without achieving enough points, it will be your own fault," Elsa's words made the boy sit down.

Nobody was dumb enough to up the dungeon rank and gamble points which would affect their rankings.

"It will be an E Rank Dungeon, but if you want to make your own team, you will have to challenge a D Rank Dungeon," Elsa said.

"So, anyone with any intentions of teaming up with others, do tell me. Increasing the challenge means more points to your names," Elsa explained.

"Each team will consist of three people at most. But if you want to team up with your friends, each team will have two people only."

"This is an assessment test. So after it, in all dungeon explorations, you can make your own teams." Her words made others relaxed as they could still be together with their friends after the test.

"Your experience after the assessment test would change completely," Elsa said with a smile on her face.

And Asher also knew exactly what she was talking about. These starting months were merely a chance for students with normal backgrounds to try and catch up to people like Asher, but only a few could handle such burdens.

"So this month, you will have various Beast Theory classes. And you could also enroll in the temporary class for those who have never ventured into the dungeon," Elsa finished her lecture.

The same discussion was happening in other classes as well. But each class had a different reaction to this news.

In the faculty block, a meeting was happening among the faculty council.

"So, what team should we put this girl on?" A profile of Alyssa was on the hologram.

"What if she teams up with someone?" a professor raised a question.

"Who would team up with her? But even if they did, hunting a D Rank boss is near impossible for the current level of students. And even if she performs well, we can just reduce her rating, can't we?" The professor replied.

"Are you suggesting tampering with student records?" a female professor frowned.

"No, I am just saying judging her on the same level is being unfair to other students," the professor replied.

"Her space element is like poison. And if somebody is gaining strength through suicidal methods, will you give them the same grades, Professor Dahlia?" the man asked with a smirk on his face.

"Well, it seems nobody is against my decision," the man said, and the meeting was concluded.

Their plan was simple. Even if somehow they could not send Alyssa to a bad team, they could just tamper with the result. And she would have no choice but to step down from the student council.
