Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Chapter 124 Who Are You To Question Me?



"Yeah, we also agree with Professor Argas," some other professors also stood in unison, seeing that Argas was leading the march for them.

"This is a clear misuse of authori-" Another professor chimed in, but he got interrupted as he saw blood splatter before his eyes.

A few seconds ago,

Xander saw many professors rising against him, and due to his personality, he despised people who slandered him.

"Snake Steps," Xander said as he disappeared from his spot.

Asher looked at Xander as he saw him perform an altered version of Snake Steps that Asher used a lot in his previous life.

In a second, a shining white blade appeared out of Xander's hand, but nobody could notice the speed he was moving except a few.

Apart from Professor Argas, the one with 3-Star Authority, all the other professors had their hands cut by a clean stroke.

Xander was already back on stage as his long overcoat fluttered due to the disturbance in the air around him.

A beautiful white blade stained with blood disappeared from Xander's hand as he looked in front of him.

"AAHHHH," a cry of multiple professors was heard in unison as the first-year students also noticed the act.

"My hand, noooo!!," a professor screamed.

"W-What?" Argas looked around him, and everyone except him, who had raised their hand against Xander, had their left hand cut as blood kept flowing around.

*Snap*

Xander snapped his fingers as multiple guards appeared around him.

"Take them out," Xander said, looking at them as guards took the professors out of the Seminar Hall.

The guards Xander had just called were special hunters that were under him, and they were responsible for safety around the Floating Island and maintaining peace if any conflicts happened.

Xander saw many first-year students averting their eyes from the scene, but his voice could be heard clearly in the whole Seminar Hall.

"If this much is enough to make you lose your will, then perhaps give up on being a hunter," Xander said,

"Your past two months might have been fun and eventful," Xander looked over the crowd of students before him.

"But World Academy is not a place where you have fun. This is a harsh place where we train you to become the best hunter with the best facilities," Xander said.

"And before I answer Professor Argas's complaint, does anyone have the same question as him?" Xander looked around, but nobody raised their hands.

Xander's eyes drifted down at Argas, who trembled a bit again, but he knew that Xander would not harm him unless he provoked him further.

"For your question, the answer is pretty simple," Xander said, making the whole crowd curious about it, including the one on stage.

"Unlike everyone else, Asher Greville and Alyssa Astaria had taken on a C Rank Dungeon," Xander's words made everyone open their mouths in shock.

"What?" Even Elena could not help but speak out.

"They have given me and our Principal the proof of their kills, so I would ask you again, Professor Argas," Xander looked down as his eyes stared at Argas standing with blood all around him.

"What place will you place a student who has defeated a D-Rank monster while being E+ Rank? So, does anyone else have a problem with my decisions?" Xander looked at other professors that did not speak against him but had similar thoughts.

Most of them would have spoken if the other party was not as powerful as Xander, but right now, they could not do anything.

"What the hell? A C Rank Dungeon?" Whispers started emerging throughout the Seminar Hall, but none of them could even imagine that Asher and Alyssa had also fought a Vialmir, a C- Rank monster.

"I-I have no issues," Argas said as he sat on his seat without saying anything else.

He ignored the blood around him as he worried more about Xander's reaction.

"Anybody else?" Xander looked at the stage, but no one spoke up.

Even Elena didn't speak out. Unlike the professors, they wouldn't receive such a harsh reception from Xander, but she didn't have the confidence to challenge someone who cleared a C-Rank Dungeon so openly.

"So this is why he was injured,"

"Make sense,"

Many students talked among themselves.

Amelia was also surprised, but Damian just smiled, as he knew that Asher would not get injured in a D-Rank dungeon.

Suddenly, everything had grown so chaotic that everyone had forgotten about one person.

"Wait, then he isn't even in the Top 10? How?" Matthew was the one to speak out, but he immediately stopped as everyone's attention turned toward him.

Even Vanessa was surprised that Sam Allister was ranked lower than her. She knew she was strong, but Sam was stronger than her, so it was hard for her to think that he ranked lower than others.

"Now that the Rankers are announced," Xander interrupted everyone's thoughts about Sam as he announced.

"Our Auction will happen soon, and various items and artifacts will be present there. If you have enough GP, you can buy some artifacts for yourself," Xander said.

"The Artifacts brought from the Dungeon are the only ones students are allowed to use, so make sure those who want Artifacts or other things have enough GP to buy them at the Auction," he continued.

"And now the clubs and other activities will finally be opening, and the Senior Year Students will interact with you guys more and more from now on," Xander explained.

"From now on, the World Academy will officially begin, and one of the SSS Rank Artifacts, and one of the most famous ones as well, will soon be activated," his words excited the first years.

They had heard about this one Artifact that was under Farnus Calmort's possession, and it had a very simple but effective function.

The moment the Artifact was activated for the next 10 months, it would increase the mana quality of the whole floating Island on which the World Academy was built.

"And behind me are the names of all the Top 50," Xander said as names started to appear on the screen.

"Another list will be displayed that shows the top three scorers of each test," Xander said as he turned.

"And congratulations, you all are now Rankers, and I hope you all will not slack off and improve your abilities using all the resources you get," Xander said as the crowd clapped for the Rankers.

Matthew was still looking at Sam Allister, who was in the 11th position; below him was Ria Adler and some other person. Gavin Neville, who was in the 14th position. And Alan Astaria, who was in the 21st position.

Sam noticed Matthew looking at him, but he turned his head, whistling and pretending not to notice him.

A Month ago, before the theory tests began,

"What do you mean?" Sam asked the young man standing in front of him.

"Don't you want to kill your father?" The young man asked.

Sam nervously gulped as the cold gaze of the crimson-red eyes looked at him.

"Why would I destroy my family, Asher Greville?" Sam pretended that he didn't care about Asher's offer.

"And you are good, but destroying Elite families isn't that easy, you know, right?" Sam scoffed at Asher's offer, but his next word made Sam even more cautious of the man before him.

"So you don't want to save your mother?" Asher asked, making Sam frown.

"My mother is fine why would she even need my help?!" He replied, but Asher brought a picture of a lady with various devices wrapped around her hands and appeared quite sick.

"It's a fair trade, Sam Allister. Just work for me, and you will get your real mother out of your father's clutches," Asher said as he indifferently looked at Sam.

"How did you get this information?" Sam asked Asher with a nervous look on his face.

"Just perform a bit worse on your theory tests and the Dungeon Exploration to get somewhere around 7th or 8th position. Not too tough, right?" Asher said.

"And in return, I will give you a position in my faction. And not the childish ones in the World Academy. You will be part of my own group of people," Asher tossed a badge with a special design engraved on it.

Sam understood what Asher was trying to say, but he was not ready to take such a risk.

"Will you help me get my mother, despite making enemies with all three Halcyon Elite families?" Sam asked with a serious look on his face.

Asher tapped his fingers on the table and stared at Sam.

"Just do what I tell you, don't ask so many questions," Asher said, while his killing intent leaked a bit, making Sam tremble a bit.

"Okay," Sam stood up and went back to the VIP Dorms.

'Should I really believe him so easily?' Sam asked, but it was not a bad deal.

He was aiming to get a lower rank as well, so it was perfect. But Sam didn't even know what kind of faction Asher had made him join until five months later.

Asher looked at Sam, who left his room and the Ranker's Dorm.

Asher smirked as he looked at Sam, who had believed him so quickly.

"Why would I ever let you kill your father," Asher muttered.

"I wonder how many stats I would be able to get from an SS Rank Hunter in the future," Asher muttered as he thought of his plans.

"Now, how should I handle those Professors..." Asher spoke out as his eyes went cold.

********************

Xander walked off the stage and looked at the staff member, who was panicking a bit.

"Call the Faculty Council meeting immediately," Xander said as he took out his phone and looked at a certain piece of information he had gotten a month ago.

"Time to deal with some pests," he muttered to himself.

In another part of the Seminar Hall, a long-bearded man laughed as he knew Xander would have only injured the Professors, not cut their arms, but if he did so, he had a proper reason behind it.

*Ping*

The old man got a notification about the faculty meeting that required every single professor under 3 stars to be present and all the free 3-star professors as well.

"Hoh, sounds like a fun meeting," Professor Neyman laughed as he disappeared from the Seminar Hall.
