Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Chapter 215 Why Would I?

?

While Arthur was set to reach SS-Rank soon, Asher was planning to start the next phase of his plans.

"Let's start with that guy," Asher had received a clue about his sword, and he didn't want to spend more time in the restricted section.

He soon left the Great Library but planned to visit it again to learn about spells the next week when he had no classes.

In the Blood Faction Building,

Many senior-year students were gathered in the room as Leonard had called all the important members of the Blood Faction for a meeting.

"I am bored. Why is a meeting being called? I still need to complete that damn assignment," a second-year student spoke, but nobody interrupted him.

"Calm down, Blake. I will tell you soon. Let everybody come," Leonard replied.

None of the First Years, including Alan and Gavin, were called as this was something that Leonard wanted to share only with the most important members first.

"Hey, do you think I have too much time," Blake said as he stared at Leonard.

Only he could exhibit such an attitude in front of Leonard as he was from the Cranston Family, one of the three strongest Elite families.

Leonard just smiled and didn't reply, but Blake understood the hidden meaning behind his smile.

It was a subtle signal not to act too rowdy around him.

Even though Blake had a status similar to Leonard's, he was not the Heir of the Cranston family.

Unlike Asher, the Heir of the Greville family, Blake was the second son of the Cranston Family.

"And where is Jack?" Blake asked, as Jack was not present at the meeting.

"He will be coming soon," Leonard replied.

And soon, the last three members, including Jack, entered the room.

"What's the meeting about?" one of the three asked.

"Settle down. I will explain it to you guys," Leonard said.

"As you know, I gave the task to you guys to ensure the majority of First Years support Blood Faction, willingly or unwillingly," Leonard said as he looked around the room.

Most people here were either from influential families or Elite families.

Their influence was so strong that Leonard had about 60% of the Second Year on his side.

But it was not the case for the Third and Fourth Years.

Most of the Fourth Year didn't follow Leonard, and even those that were close to Reece Williams, most of them were on Raelyn's side.

Even though Reece was Leonard's friend, he would not let Raelyn, his fiancée, lose her position and authority.

Reece and Leonard's partnership was only about matters outside of the World Academy, but he had already told him that inside World Academy, he would support Raelyn instead of him.

"Jack, how many people are feeling the influence," Leonard asked.

"Ah, not much, but in a couple of months, when we will give them support against other students, it will change," Jack said, but he didn't mention Gavin's rash actions.

"Tell Gavin and Alan to continue what they are doing," Leonard said, and Jack nodded.

"Why do we need their support? We just need to win at the End Year Tournament," Blake said annoyedly.

"I know, but we are in a strange spot right now," Leonard said.

"The Tournament format is still not out, and only similar-year students can go against others," Leonard said.

"Right now, only the Second Year Victory is confirmed for us," Leonard said, knowing that Blake Cranston was the Rank 1 Second Year Student.

"Of course, but you should have no problem winning the Third Year Matches, right?" Blake asked.

"Are you forgetting that our matches may not be duels," Leonard said.

While all this was happening, outside the VIP Dorms, Gavin was going to a specific place where the student he threatened had called him to give the GP he demanded.

It was late evening, and the lights were on, so everything was visible. The place where Gavin had told the student to come was the Training Facility in the Duel room.

"I should play around with him," Gavin said as he smiled and went toward the Duel rooms.

Gavin always bullied his targets to the extreme. He asked them for GP, but he didn't care about GP at all. He could buy it with money, and he did get monthly GP for being in the Top 20.

Gavin entered the Training Facility, which was currently empty as it was only used by VIP Dorms students.

And currently, nobody was present there.

"Where the hell is that guy?" Gavin was looking around, but he heard some steps, and he turned and saw Asher standing behind him.

"Hmm? Why are you here?" Gavin asked with a confused look on his face.

"Oh, did you see anyone else around here?" Gavin asked with a smile on his face.

His attitude completely changed as the person he was interacting with changed. Gavin would never talk rudely with those with enough status to stand up against him.

Asher looked around the training facility and spread his mana sense to see if anyone was around.

"I have a gift for you," Asher said as his indifferent eyes looked at Gavin.

'What does this bastard want with me?' Gavin was feeling uncomfortable around Asher.

"Oh, what is it?" Gavin asked, maintaining his innocent face.

"Check it," Asher tapped on his ID Bracelet, and Gavin received a particular video on his ID Bracelet.

He clicked on it and saw multiple videos of him bullying students and the recent one with the Class 1 student, where Jack was present with him.

"W-What? How did you get this?" Gavin glared at Asher.

He was sure that for privacy reasons, no recording devices were allowed in the World Academy except for the ones faculty had access to.

And Gavin had always chosen places where no surveillance was present. Most of the time, these were the training rooms where people sparred and trained. It was one of the few places where only your entry was recorded.

"Let's discuss it there," Asher pointed at the training room.

"Sure," Gavin had a nervous look as he followed Asher.

"Listen, I guess some guy recorded this. If you can tell me who it is-" Gavin was speaking as he entered the room, but he stopped as he felt a killing intent coming from Asher.

Asher walked closer to Gavin as his indifferent eyes stared at him.

"W-What are you doing?" Gavin managed to speak.

Asher looked at the trembling figure of Gavin, and this was the reality of who he truly was.

"Let's see if you can handle all this right," Asher grabbed Gavin by his throat and slammed him against the wall.

"ARGGGHHH," Gavin screamed as his head was smashed against the wall.

Asher grabbed his green hair and pulled his face upwards.

"This is just the start," Asher said as he smashed his face into the ground.

BAM

"Why?" Gavin said as tears started coming out of his eyes.

He didn't understand why Asher was beating him. Although he disliked Asher, he had never behaved rudely with him.

"You will understand soon," Asher grabbed Gavin's face and took out a healing potion.

Asher forcefully opened Gavin's mouth as he poured in the healing potion that made his injuries heal quickly.

Blood stopped flowing as Gavin took a few breaths, but before he could talk, Asher threw a punch straight into his gut, but he didn't use mana.

But the difference in their ranks was too much. Gavin was still at E+ Rank, and Asher was already at C- Rank.

Asher kept beating Gavin and giving him a healing potion just before his injuries worsened. This process continued for 2 minutes straight, making it the worst moment of Gavin's life.

Not once had Gavin experienced a beating even remotely similar to this.

Although he liked to bully and torture others, he had never been on the receiving end.

After the same process repeated and Gavin's blood was splattered all over the room, Asher stopped and gave Gavin another healing potion.

"Ahh, please, no, no," Gavin kept mumbling as his eyes were full of tears, and his nose was full of blood.

Seeing that Asher had stopped, Gavin immediately dropped to his knees.

"I will stop bullying others and never harm anybody else!" Gavin said, thinking that Asher was punishing him for his actions.

But he was wrong.

"Why would I want you to stop?" Asher said, and Gavin looked into the crimson-red eyes staring at him.

At that moment, Asher seemed no less than a monster to Gavin. Right now, all he wanted to do was run away.

"W-What do you mean?" Gavin asked,

Wasn't he getting punished for his actions?

Hadn't Asher beaten him to stop his acts of bullying innocent students?

"I want you to continue what you were doing, but instead of Leonard, you will listen to me from now on," Asher said.

"If you want to live peacefully," Asher's indifferent eyes stared at Gavin as his killing intent made breathing harder for him to breathe properly.
