Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Chapter 86 Class 1 Professor

Every student who was entering the classroom was avoiding sitting anywhere near Alyssa. They did not wanted their name to be associated with her in any way. Around 60 percent of the students at this academy came from a common background, while others were from either a rich family or were part of elite families.

Students with a common background saw studying at World Academy as a chance to not only improve their strengths but to also make connections with rich and influential people. This was the reason there were many small factions among students inside the World Academy.

It was almost time for class to start when Asher entered the classroom. Seeing him, all the students stopped talking. Asher's reputation was not that good in the World Academy either. His duel with Elena and his way of eliminating students in the tournament was criticized by many people.

But what could they do to Asher other than avoid him at all times? Asher looked at the front two rows on the leftmost side of the classroom where Alyssa and Venessa were sitting together.

Asher frowned in his mind seeing Venessa sitting with Alyssa. He walked up to Alyssa and sat a row behind her. Alyssa also didn't react much to his presence either. She saw Asher as an opportunity and a person who was helping her on his whims. Although she appreciated his help, that was it. Alyssa had long forgotten how to trust others.

She was not a person who could now be friendly with others. She was very much like Asher, but her hatred was mostly centered around her enemies, unlike Asher. Asher's inner madness made him unstable and hate almost everything around him. It was a wonder how he was able to communicate with others like a normal person.

This was one of his biggest problems in his previous life, which led to him avoiding interacting with others. But now he did not see it as a problem or weakness. He had long embraced his madness as a part of himself, or maybe without realizing it, his madness had already taken over him.

Seeing Asher sit quietly, the other students started to talk quietly among themselves. Asher himself sat near the window, ignoring everyone in the class.

"He looks so handsome," some girls started talking among themselves.

Other girls were also stealing glances at Asher from time to time, making some boys jealous. Those boys could only look at Asher with envy.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman came in through the door. She was wearing an overcoat with an insignia of the World Academy. Seeing her, all the students stopped talking and looked in front.

She walked up to the table in the middle and sat on the seat, and looked at the students.

"First of all, congratulations on making it to the World Academy," her voice was warm, and it made some students have a good impression of her.

"My name is Elsa Robles, and I am in charge of Class 1," Elsa introduced herself.

Hearing her name, many students got surprised. She was one of the SS Rank Hunters in the world.

She had orange-colored hair with black eyes, and despite her calm personality, she looked like a person with a high temper.

"Some of you might know me, but for those that don't, I am one of the SS Rank hunters in the world," Elsa spoke as she produced a ball of flame in her hands.

"And I specialize in fire magic," she spoke, and the flame in her hand kept changing colors from orange to yellow to blue to green.

Students kept looking at the flame with curiosity. Fire magic was one of the easiest magic to learn, but controlling it gets harder and harder as the complexity of the spell increased. So, seeing Elsa's control over the spell surprised many students.

"For today's class, I will be explaining to you some rules and other things that you need to know about the World Academy," she spoke as the flame died down in her hand.

"As you know, there are five classes for the first years, and right now, all of you are unranked," she said. The big white screen behind her showed a circle divided into five parts.

"This is the first-year building. We have five blocks for each class," she pointed towards the screen.

"And we are in Block 1 right now. You all have received the bracelets in your dorm rooms, right? Click on the green light that is present on the bracelet," she spoke.

Listening to her everyone in the class clicked, and information about them was presented in front of them.

"This bracelet is your ID card, which will be used in almost everything inside the World Academy," Elsa spoke.

"Your schedule is also present there if anybody wants to check it."

"Now the main part: Inside World Academy, aside from some compulsory subjects, each student is required to choose at least 3 subjects from the list in front of you," Elsa said as the students saw many subjects.

"Each year, all five classes have 3 common subjects: Mana Manipulation, Beast Theory, and the Duel class," she said.

"Aside from them, you need to choose other subjects on your own depending on the path you want to take," she explained.

World Academy does not force students to take a certain path. Each student can decide the path they want to walk on.

"But be careful while choosing subjects to take. Once you choose a subject, you have to attend that class for at least a week. Each student can change their chosen subject at most 3 times."

"So think carefully before choosing those subjects."

"You will have to study a total of 6 subjects, and if you wish to take more, you can. But remember that your performance in those extra subjects will also affect your ranks at the end of your first year," Elsa said, looking at all the students.

"Coming to the ranks, but before I explain about it, who can tell me about grade points?" Elsa asked, seeing a few hands raised.

She pointed to a girl in one of the middle rows.

The girl stood up and spoke, "It is the points that we can use for various facilities in the World Academy. We use it as a currency instead of using AUR," she explained, making Elsa smile as she gestured for her to sit down.

"Correct, grade points, also known as GP, will be the money you will earn inside the World Academy. GP can be earned in a class test, during a duel, or by trading with others."

"There are many ways to earn GP, but the most effective is by having a good rank."

"As you know, we have a different dormitory for the top 10 rankers, and currently, your year representatives are living there," Elsa pointed in Alyssa and Asher's direction. This invoked jealousy and envy among many students, which was what Elsa wanted.

"Only the top 10 among the 1,000 first years will get the privilege of living here," she pointed at the screen, which showed the dormitory that Asher and Alyssa saw yesterday.

"Wow!"

"So cool!!"

Everybody was surprised seeing the building, but Elsa brought their attention back.

"But only the top 10 can live here. However, this is not the only reason for having a good rank," Elsa said, confusing many students who were still looking at the beautiful building in front of them, imagining what living there would feel like.

"Depending on your rank, starting from Rank 1-10, you get 1000 GP monthly. And 11-100 will get 500 GP, and 101-500 will get 250 GP, and the rest will only get 100 GP each month."

"You use these GP not only to buy your food but also for everything. There is a certain amount of GP needed to be paid." Many students got nervous because that meant if they did not score a good rank, their life would become even more difficult.

"Any questions?" Elsa asked.

"What if we have 0 GP?" a boy asked.

"Good question. If any of you ever hit 0 GP, you can ask your friends for a loan. This is why you can trade GP at the trading center," Elsa spoke.

"Some seniors even post some quests for the juniors or their peers for a certain amount of GP," she said, making the nervous expressions of the students relax a bit.

Asher knew about this very well because he was also one of the people who used this function to make others do his tasks in his previous life.

Alyssa kept listening carefully, but she was now glad as she looked at 1000 GP in her account. She was quite sure nobody would have loaned her any amount of GP, making her life hell inside the World Academy.

"One of the things where you can spend your GP is the Duel Arena by challenging others for a certain amount of GP," Elsa said, making some of the boys excited at the thought of fighting others for money.

"Even reading books at the Library requires GP, and some of the sections are restricted depending on the year you belong to. But if you are in the top 10, i.e., if you are a ranker, you can access them," she added.

"Any other questions?" Elsa asked.

"Depending on the subject, will we attend lectures with other classes?" a boy asked Elsa.

"Yeah, although you all are in different classes, you will still attend those classes together," Elsa replied.

"And if you are wondering what the point is of having five different classes, let me tell you that each class will have a different ranking. It is formed in such a way that all five classes will have similar strengths," she said.

"After the assessment test, you will work towards the end-term examination. Depending on your class ranking, you will receive certain benefits," her words made many students excited.

"Wait, we will never lose if both of those monsters are in our class," a boy whispered to his deskmate, pointing towards Alyssa and Asher.

Other students also had similar thoughts in their minds, but Asher, on the other hand, was not even interested in such talks, and Alyssa was the same.

"Well, I will give you a day to think about your subject choices. Tomorrow, you need to tell me your elected subjects," Elsa said as she concluded the class.

"This is all for today, you guys can explore and look around the World Academy for today, and Asher Greville, Alyssa Astaria, both of you follow me to my office," Elsa said as she turned to leave the classroom.
