Why Should I Stop Being a Villain-Novel



"Are you done with him?" Jack, standing beside Gavin, asked.

"Aww, you disturbed my flow," Gavin turned and pouted at Jack.

'This bastard is even more sadistic than me,' Jack thought, looking at the green-haired boy.

For now, Jack ensured that no one came near this area.

'Leon didn't tell you to do all this,' Jack was growing impatient with Gavin and his habits.

Leonard had only told them to ensure that most First Years, especially those around Rank 500-600, were under their control.

Most of their targets were students from weak families.

Leonard aimed to ensure that most first-year students fell under his control.

But he made sure to only use people like Jack, Gavin, and Alan for such work. It was to ensure that none of the students even thought of rebelling against them.

They chose their targets carefully, and most of those students were those without a powerful or influential background.

Most of these students were trying to form social connections and gain power, so they never reported the bullying as it hadn't gone too far until now.

But currently, Gavin's habit of hurting others was making things a bit problematic for Jack.

"It's enough; stop now," Jack grabbed Gavin's hand as he looked at the first-year student.

"And you, if you want a good life in and outside of World Academy, do what you're told," Jack flared his mana to pressure him.

"A-Alright," the student immediately replied.

"Wait, one more thing, I almost forgot," Gavin turned, crouched, and smiled at the first-year boy.

"W-What?" The first year stuttered, scared that Gavin would harm him again.

"Tell your friends to spread rumors about a certain person," Gavin whispered.

"Asher Greville bullies people in your class," he remembered that this guy was in Class 1.

"B-But,"

"What? Did you not understand what I'm saying?" Gavin asked with a sad look on his face.

"Sigh, should I re-educate you again?" Gavin gave him a worried look.

"NO! I will do it, yeah, I will do it," the first-year student reassured Gavin.

A bit far from there, Asher was standing, and using his mana sense, he could see Gavin and Jack with another student in an area hidden from plain sight.

"Hey, don't take things too far. It will be troublesome for us..." Jack continued speaking as they left the secluded area.

Asher, standing in another sector, sensed them leave.

"Only this much," Asher muttered as he turned back.

Asher remembered Gavin Neville, who would become a major supporter of the Blood Faction.

Even outside the World Academy, the Neville family was allied with the Allisters and Osbert Tarvian. So it was no surprise that Gavin had become a supporter of Leonard.

He remembered that Gavin had an even more twisted personality than he currently displayed, but he never showed it to others.

Knowing that he came from an elite family, Gavin always ensured he never left evidence that could taint his image.

What Gavin was doing right now could be considered bullying, but he was not breaking any rules inside the World Academy.

Gavin never used mana to hurt others. Instead, he threatened them so they wouldn't use their mana to protect themselves.

And none of the students could prove that Gavin had bullied them, as he always isolated the targets he bullied.

The first-year student got up and kicked the ground.

He was the same student who had called out Alyssa on the first day of class and was humiliated in front of everyone.

"Should I really do this?" He was uncertain whether to follow the orders he had been given or not.

Messing with an elite family was tantamount to declaring to the world that you didn't want to live anymore.

As Asher returned to class, he could hear other students talking about him. His senses had increased, so he could hear them whispering about the rumors circulating about him.

Something similar happened in his previous life, but during the Dungeon invasion incident.

This time, rumors were still mild as nothing major had happened, and most people assumed that Asher didn't have a great personality due to his cold demeanor.

But people were still talking about him.

Many such people in the World Academy engaged in similar activities like bullying. Still, unlike them, Asher was a renowned personality who was Rank 1 and was already known as the greatest talent of his generation.

The more influential or famous someone was, the more their demise and downfall were anticipated.

Although Leonard had seen enough to guess that Asher was not one to be affected by such things, he wanted to see if it truly was the case or not.

But even in his previous and current life, Asher didn't care about what others thought about him.

'Keep your attention on me,' Asher said as he arrived in the Space Element Class.

He sat down in one corner of the class, arriving early.

Asher kept tapping the desk in front of him.

The next big event was the Kalvas Gala, which was meant to happen soon.

The place where all the Elite Families gathered, and some of the SSS Rank Hunters would attend as well.

But Asher's actions had caused a delay, and the Kalvas Gala would be postponed until the Seven Heads fixed another date.

Time passed as the Space Element Class was about to begin.

The first one to enter the class was Alyssa, who was using her wheelchair.

She entered the class, and her eyes landed on Asher.

But she didn't stare at him for too long. Instead, she took a seat far from Asher.

Nobody could guess that they were acquainted with each other from how they acted.

Asher's indifferent eyes drifted toward Alyssa for a moment, but he soon removed his gaze as he saw a few other students entering the class.

All the students took their seats and avoided both Alyssa and Asher for two different reasons.

Soon, a professor entered the room, and with him, the Security Team of World Academy also entered the class.

"Hello, I am Adam Rivas, and I will be your Professor for the Space Element," The Professor introduced himself as his eyes quickly scanned the students in the class.

"Oh, and these here are the special hunters that work for the World Academy," Adam spoke with a wide smile on his face.

Asher looked at Adam Rivas, meeting him for the first time.

"They will be present here for the whole lecture," Adam said with a smile.

His words convinced the other students, but some, including Asher, knew the real reason.

"And if you can't guess why they are here, I can say you aren't meant to learn about the Space Element," Adam's face turned serious immediately.

Those Hunters were not here to observe the class but to handle Adam in case he went mad or got out of control during his lecture.

His change in emotion made the security team a bit wary. All of them were S Rank Hunters, so they could react easily if Adam tried anything unusual.
