Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

"What's the limit?" Asher asked, looking at the skill.

"Will it work on anything?" He queried.

Although the skill itself was good, as it allowed Asher to hide his true Rank up to two major ranks, it was a well-known fact that concealing your mana did not work on hunters of a higher rank than you.

This meant that Asher could hide his mana core rank from Damian, but he would fail in front of anyone who was C Rank and above.

The techniques that Asher knew about concealing his presence became useless if he was not using them every time he met someone higher rank than him. It was simply not feasible to do, as he could not conceal his presence at all times to hide his true rank.

Even in that case, such techniques stopped working on S Rank Hunters and higher because their mana sensitivity was way higher.

However, this skill would work even if Asher was standing in front of an SSS Rank Hunter like Nathan Greville.

[If Host is talking about Dungeon Restriction, Yes, you could enter such areas as well]

[Unless you expose your mana yourself, it will be impossible to recognize your true rank]

"So I can stay at D Rank when I reach C- Rank," Asher muttered.

Even though he was ranking up at an insanely high speed, he knew that he could go a bit faster, but doing too much could draw people's attention.

"Status : Attribute," Asher said,

Asher didn't question the system anymore as he went to take a shower. He needed to give his body a bit of rest before he decided to start the process of ranking up.

Taking a shower, Asher went and took some healing potions that were B Rank to heal any sort of injuries that might have occurred in his body during the process.

Asher went and ordered some food from his ID Bracelet as he needed to eat something before he continued training. It was late in the afternoon, and his food arrived shortly after he ordered it.

Sitting down at the table, Asher took a bite out of the meat dish in front of him. Every food that was served to the students of the Ranker's Dorm came from expensive herbs and C Rank or above monsters.

Asher finished his dish and removed the plates from in front of him. Normally, Rankers could have Staff Members serve them, and some of them used such facilities, but Asher avoided it.

He wanted to keep people away from his floor as much as possible.

After that, he went inside the room and finally opened the small case where the Mana Gem was.

He took it out and placed it in front of him.

The process of ranking up was simple, he just needed to form another ring of mana around his Mana Core, and at the same time increase the density of his mana core to the maximum amount his mana rings could handle.

It was a slow process that would take a few days as one needed to be very careful in this process.

But Asher had another problem, and it was the effects of Rune of Eirdin.

As Asher closed his eyes and started the process, the mana from the Mana Gem came out and started to revolve around Asher's body slowly.

Asher knew that his body was still a bit tired, so he was not pushing it too much right now. The initial process was something he could slow down until he felt he was ready for it.

Taking that mana inside his body, and moving it towards his mana core, Asher started the ring formation process first.

Asher began the process as he encased his body with his aura and pressured the mana to obey him. The threads of mana revolving around the Mana Core came together as they formed a circular shape around the mana core.

Unlike D Rank, going to C Rank and above required more time as the mana pool increased, and so did the amount of strength in your body. It was not only a process of increasing the rank of your mana core but also strengthening your whole body at the same time.

In C Rank and above, a harmony between the Mana and Body of the Hunter was required. It was a basic principle that was taught to everyone. And it was especially useful for Non-Mage Hunters.

Unlike the previous time when the increasing amount of mana was overwhelming his body and he felt like he was submerged in a lake.

This time he was using his Aura to strengthen his body and hold that mana inside him. This was evident as Asher was absorbing a lot of mana at that moment.

Not only was he forming a new ring, he was strengthening the existing one as well. The amount of pure mana coming from the mana gem was immensely helpful as there were no impurities in it.

Asher disconnected his senses from the outside world and started focusing on the mana that was circulating around his body.

Hours went by as Asher's body kept absorbing the mana inside the C Rank Gem.

He wasn't wasting any amount of mana, and due to the fact that his body was strengthened by his aura, he could handle this for so long. Not only was his Aura strengthening as well, but it was also helping him increase the quality of the ring formation that was taking place.

It was the morning of the next day when Asher completed forming a ring around his mana core.

Now, he moved on to the next step, which involved filling his Mana Core to its limit while strengthening his body.

[ Host's Mana Heart is strengthening..... ]

Sitting down with his eyes closed, Asher was pushing a large amount of mana inside his mana core while trying to increase its density.

The Mana Rings around his mana core started to revolve even faster as he focused on pushing his mana core to its limits.

The effects of the Rune of Eirdin were going to start soon, as Asher was nearing the completion of his Mana Rings.
