Why Should I Stop Being a Villain-Novel

337 First Day Ends

"Why are people cheering for him more than for my brother?" Lucas asked Damian.

The crowd of students were cheering for Kevin Whiteheart, and his popularity in all other years was also evident.

"Eh? That's a bit..." Damian scratched the back of his head.

He couldn't outright say that Asher was one of the most hated people in World Academy, especially among First Year students.

Those who followed Raelyn Whiteheart, the Student Council President, also hated Asher because he was disrespectful to her. The same went for those who supported Leonard Tarvian, except Leonard didn't let others know that there were rifts between him and the heir of the Greville Family.

"If you call everyone useless on the first day at World Academy, this is what happens," Amelia, who had just entered the room, said.

Livia looked back and smiled at Amelia because she had also won easily; her match was with someone in Rank 41.

"It's just that he is too strong, so people get jealous," Damian tried to sugarcoat Amelia's words.

Lucas looked at Damian and then at the stage. He didn't like Kevin, Elena, and Eva due to their behavior at the party that happened a year ago. For Lucas, Asher was someone who changed his life and saved his sister whom he tried so hard to save.

Amelia just shook her head, looking at Damian, who was trying to save Asher's image.

Though the main reason was their personality, there were other reasons as well why people tried to connect more with Kevin than with Asher.

Kevin was friends with both the Rothschild Family and the Williams Family, which made people think of making connections with the Whiteheart Family that was still rising because they became an Elite Family more than a decade ago.

Greville were the strongest, and not many people were able to get close with them due to their personalities and the way Greville handled things.

At the Main Spectator Area,

'He doesn't look too bad,' Alfred judged Kevin by his stance and demeanor.

'If not for Asher, he would have been the strongest of this generation,' Alfred admitted just by looking at the way Kevin was handling his mana.

Due to the fact he possessed the lightning element, one of the strongest offensive elements and from the looks of it, his affinity with that element was high as well.

Even Silvus shared the same opinions, while Farnus's expression didn't change.

He wasn't showing any reaction to Kevin, as he simply observed the match.

Kevin's match was the Rank 26th Student, and the match started with the student rushing at Kevin to close in the distance.

But Kevin didn't react to the student and he stood on his place, and as the distance between them got smaller, he stepped to sides, as he rotated his spear and connected the edge of it on the Student's stomach.

"Arghh," The student groaned in pain but stood on his knees.

Without giving him anymore time, Kevin rushed to the side of the Student making him raise his sword to his right, but at moment Kevin used his spear to shift his weight to left surprising the student as appeared right in front of him.

Kevin tilted his body backwards as he raised his right leg, and kicked the student standing him flying out of the stage.

"The Winner is Kevin Whiteheart!" The Commentator announced as the Referee stopped the match.

Kevin turned as he left the stage smiling.

But that smile soon changed as he entered the waiting room, and was not visible to the Crowd in the Arena.

Kevin was not going to be happy with just this much, and his goal was the first place and he knew how hard it was to get Rank 1.

Defeating Asher, was not possible until unless he reached C- Rank as well, and even then Kevin still didn't had a good counter to Asher's swordsmanship.

Asher's style of wielding sword was very weird and his movement was unpredictable as well.

"Not too bad for the first day," Alfred said,

"But I am waiting for the next three days, when the 'real' matches will start," Alfred said.

Silvus agreed to his words as well.

Right now, none of the top students were going against each other, and the pressure on these students was going to increase as on the later days many people from the Elite Families, and the Seat Holders would be here at this Arena witnessing these matches.

After 3 hours more, and the last match was finished, the First Day of the End Year Tournament was done.

After the match was done, a magical veil appeared in front of Alfred and Silvus as their portals were opened.

"It was a interesting day so far," Silvus told Farnus with a smile.

"Same for me," Alfred replied.

"I am glad both of you liked it," Farnus replied.

Both the Greville Twins and Grandus Twins were going to stay in the place that was made for them, but Greville Twins were allowed to stay in the Rankers Dorm.

There were already rumours of the Grandus Twins and the sighting of some kids with Amelia Greville was going around, and all of this was going to be cleared on the Fourth Day when Farnus was going to announce two important things.

Exchanging a few more words, Alfred and Silvus soon left leaving Farnus alone.

Instantly Arman appeared behind Farnus as the black mist gathered behind him.

"Are preparations done?" Farnus asked.

"If we conduct the matches tomorrow the same way, there would be enough time for that to take place," Arman replied.

"Then, keep it the same way," Farnus replied.

"But would the other Seat Holders agree?" Arman asked.

Even though Farnus was going ahead planning all this, he had many restrictions on him that stopped him from doing whatever he wanted.

"Don't worry, human greed and ambitions are much bigger than you think," Farnus replied with a small laugh.

"When you have lived long enough like me, you would understand such things more clearly," Farnus said.

Arman nodded his head as learned from Farnus, but he was still a bit doubtful whether things were going to go as planned.

But he could only look forward to the Fourth Day when everything was going to be announced.

There were many things that students were looking forward to in this tournament.

Getting new and better ranks, the reward for the Top 5 Rankers of the First Year that was the Trial's Ground.

The decision of the battle between the Student Council and the Blood Faction.

And Farnus was going to add something in the midst of that was going to be shocking for everyone.

But Arman and other Professors that knew about this could only follow Farnus's orders.

'Well this day was going to come soon,' Arman said to himself as stopped thinking about it.

Although it was a bit rushed, it was going happen soon and Arman had somewhat predicted it.

At the Ranker's Dorm,

Asher was sitting his room as got a notification from his ID Bracelet about confirming the entry of 4 people.

Asher gave the confirmation, and the door opened revealing the Highest Floor, and the lavish rooms that were given to the Rank 1 Student.

"It's so big," Livia looked around as they entered the Tenth Floor.

Due to the fact the day had ended, Amelia decided to show the twins Rankers Dorm for now.

And she asked for Asher to allow them to visit his floor as well which he did.

Asher who in his room closed the computer and different documents he was looking at before going out.

He had left early, and it was because Tom had some new information that he wanted Asher to look at. And he was looking around that until Amelia's message came.

"When you see his training room, you will even more amazed," Damian said as he noticed Asher coming out.

"There so much mana," Lucas said as he felt the mana around the World Academy.

"It's because of a special artifact that makes the mana richer on this flying island," Amelia told Lucas.

"And also his room has the most mana out of all rooms below," She added.

This was the benefits of the Rank 1, and something that even Damian and Amelia were envious of.

"I wonder what they will do for you guys though," Damian said as he looked at twin.

Amelia had informed him that it wasn't only Lucas and Livia, but the Grandus twins as well that were enrolling here.

"Because we compete to get these facilities but you guys will have a special class so wonder how they will arrange all that," Damian said thinking out loud.

"Putting that aside, let's show them you training and sparring room," Damian said excitedly.

Amelia looked at Damian, who was more excited to enter Asher's training and sparring room than the twins themselves.

'This guy,' Amelia shook her head, as Damian blatantly used the situation to his advantage.

"Go ahead," Asher told them as opened the access to all rooms for them.

<Need for Confirmation is Removed>

The robotic voice said as all the room were opened, and now anybody without Asher's permission could enter them.

The twins looked amazed by all that as Damian guided them to the rooms of 'his' choice.

Amelia noticed that Asher was going back to his room, and she didn't say much knowing he didn't like staying with others much.

'Maybe he's not that bad,' Amelia thought as she went after the twins.

As Asher noticed them going inside, he went to his room.

Ping!

He received a voice message from Tom, and he opened it.

"Boss, what should we do about those guys?" Tom asked waiting for Asher's answer.
