Why Should I Stop Being a Villain-Novel

Chapter 153 Auction Ends

Asher was waiting for the A Rank artifacts to come out.

Amelia had already bought a C Rank combat spell-related artifact, but she still didn't know what kind of spell it was.

Damian hadn't bought anything, as he was still fine with the artifact he had received in the Dungeon with Amelia.

Asher looked forward to the last bids, as he wanted to get one artifact from them.

"The first A Rank Artifact is this Armor," Gazil said.

"We will not disclose anything about the A Rank Artifacts, so you can start the bidding in 5 seconds," Gazil told the whole crowd of students.

This was the most awaited artifact that all the Senior year students wanted, and they would pay the highest price for it.

"Why did they put this first," Raelyn frowned, as this was not favorable for them.

Normally, people would only be able to claim one A Rank artifact, as they would lose most of their GP's purchasing one by outbidding others.

But this armor was the most wanted artifact, so most people would go all out for this single piece of armor.

"We got 50,000 GP from Blake Cranston!" Gazil said, as most of the Second Year students started cheering.

Blake Cranston was the Rank 1 student among the Second Year students, and he was very famous due to the fact he came from one of the strongest Elite families in the world.

"We got 60,000 GP from Raelyn Whiteheart," Gazil said.

"I can't go more than 80K," Raelyn was hoping to get this armor, as this could greatly boost her chances of winning.

"75,000 GP from Leonard Tarvian," Gazil announced.

Leonard wanted this armor, but that was all the GP he had, and if anybody outbid him here, he would lose this armor-type artifact. And all this happened because of one person. If previously Leonard was not fully focused on Asher, after this day, bringing him down would become his main focus.

"80,000 GP from Raelyn Whiteheart," Gazil announced.

In the Second Year Rank 1 room,

"Well, I can't go above that," Blake said.

"That could have helped you a lot," The Rank 2 said.

"80,000 GP...1, 80,000 GP...2, 80,000 GP...3," Gazil counted.

"Sold to Raelyn Whiteheart!" Gazil said.

In the Student Council Special Room,

"I think I have messed this up," Raelyn said, as she spent most of the GP on her brother and herself.

"Well, it was your decision," Tyrone replied.

"Oh, come on, we can get the Artifacts in the next Auction. And it will happen before the End Term Tournaments," Zoie replied, trying to cheer Raelyn.

Kevin was a bit awkward, and so were the other three. All of them, except Kevin, had gotten D and C Rank artifacts and were not even part of the Student Council yet.

Gazil took out the second artifact, which was a ring.

"Ring-type artifact, A Rank," Gazil said, and nobody knew what the ring could do.

"The bidding will start now," Gazil said.

"20,000 GP from Blake Cranston."

"25,000 GP from Leonard Tarvian."

"30,000 GP from Blake Cranston."

"35,000 GP from Leonard Tarvian."

"40,000 GP from Blake Cranston."

"45,000 GP from Leonard Tarvian."

Both Leonard and Blake refused to give up on it, but they didn't want to spend too much on an unknown ring artifact that could become useless to them.

"50,000 GP...1, 50,000 GP...2, 50,000 GP...3," Gazil counted.

"Sold to Blake Cranston," Gazil announced.

Blake was just hoping that his investment was worth it.

The third artifact was revealed, and it was a sword again.

Leonard's eyes shined as he looked at the dark blue sword.

"The bidding will begin now," As soon as Gazil said this, Leonard dropped all of his GP.

"75,000 GP from Leonard Tarvian," Gazil said.

"75,000 GP...1, 75,000 GP...2, 75,000 GP...3," Gazil counted.

"Sold to Leonard Tarvian!!" Gazil said.

Asher only had 60K GP on him, so he couldn't outbid Leonard, who used all his GP to cut off any competition, even if there was one. So making such a high bid was his way of saying to stay away from that sword.

"This year, everyone sure is spending big," Gazil said as he introduced the fourth artifact.

Seeing that, the eyes of all mages went big, as it was a rare staff-type artifact.

"Dammit," Many cursed themselves for spending their GP previously.

Even though Elena was looking at that staff, she knew she could not buy it.

"The bidding will start now," Gazil said.

"30,000 GP from Asher Greville," Gazil announced, as everyone thought Asher Greville had taken this artifact for sure.

But they were incorrect, as another bid came in at the last moment.

"50,000 GP from Jodie Everett," Gazil said, surprising everyone.

"Wait, isn't Senior Jodie in Fourth Year?" Again, students were confused as to why a fourth-year was bidding.

"60,000 GP from Asher Greville," Asher increased his bid as he waited for Jodie.

"80,000 GP from Jodie Everett," Gazil said.

And after counting to 3, no extra bids came in.

"Sold to Jodie Everett," Gazil announced as he came to the last artifact.

"As for the last artifact," Gazil removed the cloth himself.

The crowd looked at the small finger ring armor with three black gems on it.

Asher looked at it and was determined to take this artifact this time. In his previous life, somebody else had taken this artifact and ruined its value, but he would use it this time.

"This is the last A Rank artifact, and you can bid now," Gazil said.

"10,000 GP from Asher Greville,"

"20,000 GP from Blake Cranston,"

"25,000 GP from Asher Greville,"

"25,000 GP...1, 25,000 GP...2, 25,000 GP...3," Gazil counted.

"SOLD TO ASHER GREVILLE," Gazil announced as the crowd started clapping.

Asher took the final artifact at one of the lowest prices, as no one was left to compete with him.

"Your artifacts will be delivered to you in Two Days," Gazil said.

"And there is an after-party for all people in the VIP Rooms, so you can go enjoy yourself," Gazil said, but the mood was dull in two of the most important rooms.

Raelyn and Leonard's faces could tell what they were thinking. Even though they had purchased a single A Rank artifact, most of their money was used. This meant that at the next Auction this year, there would be many with equal or a bit more GP than them.

Even Asher had not used more than 25,000 GP himself, and he made others overspend their money on items that were not worth it.

"I don't wanna go to the after-party," Amelia stood up, as she wanted to go back and train.

There was also the fact that she disliked social parties as it tired her out. And she knew that Damian and Asher disliked such parties, so she would rather go back.

"Yeah, you're going back, right?" Damian asked Asher.

"Yeah," Asher replied.

He had done all he wanted and had no interest in going to a party full of people he wanted to kill. His bloodlust had increased significantly over these days, and he wanted to return to the Ranker's Dorm quickly.

And just like him, many people chose to go back rather than go to the after-party. But many people still went, as it was the best way to socialize with others.

Kevin, Elena, Eva, and Ria were among them. Raelyn insisted that they should go and enjoy their night, as it was their first Auction. Kevin wanted to help his sister, but seeing that she could deal with it herself, he decided to go and enjoy himself with his friends.

"Should we go look for a weapon tomorrow?" Damian asked Asher.

"I have one already," Asher replied.

"But you bought a ring armor," Damian said, but Asher didn't reply.

"I will see it in the next spar anyways," Damian didn't pursue the matter any further.
