Why Should I Stop Being a Villain-Novel

Chapter 342 End of the Third Day

342 End of the Third Day

If he could, Alexander wanted to kill Alyssa right now for humiliating his son in front of everyone.

But he couldn't do anything to her, and he immediately calmed himself down because there were a lot of eyes on him.

"I TOLD YOU!" The woman sitting beside Alexander was even more angry.

"We should have killed her." She was speaking, but midway, Alexander raised his hand, signaling for her to stop.

But what stopped her was not Alexander's signal, but his glare.

But she couldn't sit back and see her son humiliated in such a manner in front of everyone.

"His wrists are all broken," the medic who was examining Alan said.

"Let's take him to the ward first." The professor in charge there spoke, and they immediately moved.

Everyone missed it, but Alyssa broke both of Alan's wrists while she was slamming the huge ice pillar on him.

And there were multiple wounds all over Alan's body that were caused by her chains rather than the Ice Pillar itself.

Nobody noticed it because Alyssa didn't manipulate her mana to move the chains; it was done with the help of gravity magic that was all around Alan.

She masked her attack while slamming that ice pillar on Alan's body.

But Alyssa's eyes were still emotionless.

"Sorry, I went overboard," Alyssa muttered while her eyes remained unchanged.

Asher didn't reply as she didn't showcase all of her strength, and just like he said, she used more gravity magic than anything else.

Almost all of the matches of the first year were done, and only the rankers and a few in the top 15 were left.

Asher and Kevin were placed in the higher bracket, and more rankers needed to fight to challenge them because both of them held the Rank 1 and Rank 2 positions.

"The next duel is from Rank 7 Amelia Von Greville vs. Rank 12 Ria Adler," The Commentator announced.

The crowd cheered up again after being quiet, and the mood changed.

Livia was the most excited to see Amelia fight, but there were many people cheering for both Amelia and Ria.

Amelia walked up the stage as she looked at Ria, who was walking out confidently.

Even if not from the main family, Ria was connected with the Rothschild family.

After they were positioned, the referee started the countdown, and the duel began.

And it started with Amelia charging ahead first with the dagger in her hand.

Despite being a mage, Amelia had been trained to use daggers efficiently.

*Clang*

Ria's sword clashed with Amelia's dagger, but it was obvious that Ria had more strength than Amelia as she used her aura.

Amelia smiled as fire emerged where Ria was standing, and she immediately stepped backwards.

The way Amelia was fighting wasn't something other mages could do.

Only because she was an Augmenter could she fight this way. With all the augmented spells she could use on herself, for a brief moment, Amelia could go on par with a weapon master.

Ria already knew that Amelia was a tough opponent, and that's why she decided to go all out in front of her.

It was known how good the Greville were at controlling mana, and she knew dragging the fight would do her no favor.

Tilting her body, she dashed towards Amelia, who expected something like this.

*BAM*

A mana barrier emerged in front of Amelia as Ria's sword clashed with it, and sparks were coming off.

Ria squinted her eyes as the Mana Barrier started to crack, but she didn't expect it to crack this easily.

She widened her eyes as she realized what was happening, but she didn't have the time to react as Amelia made chains of fire emerge behind Amelia's back.

"Persule Varese," Amelia chanted another spell, and the chains that were wrapping around Ria exploded.

Ria, who got baited by Amelia, couldn't react to the augmented spell that Amelia used, which was much more powerful than its original version.

"The winner is Amelia Von Greville," The Commentator announced.

"Quite a clever trick," Silvus commented.

Alfred smiled as he also saw how Amelia made a weak mana barrier to chant another spell at the same time, as she knew that Ria wasn't powerful enough to break her mana barrier in a single attack.

"She won!!" Livia said, looking at Lucas, and he smiled at her.

She was happy to see Amelia win, and Sylvie and Arthur were smiling as well.

But the next match started immediately after, and it was between Sam Allister and Gavin Neville.

It was obvious that both of them were close to each other's rank, but Gavin was careful, as he knew that Sam Allister was a cunning guy.

The match started, and Gavin was expecting a tough duel, but he was confused as he saw Sam Allister coming close to him in a matter of seconds.

Immediately, Gavin created a wind wall to stop Sam, who, in response, made Shackles of Earth appear around Gavin's feet.

"What the hell?" Gavin was surprised, and he almost lost his footing, but he used his mana to destroy those shackles.

Sam smiled as he purposefully made those weak enough for Gavin to break.

After all, he wanted this match to look as close as possible so as not to stand out too much.

When Sam was closing towards Gavin, he saw him summon blades of wind, which he dodged, stopping himself from using his spear.

It was easy for Sam to stop them, but Gavin was a bit startled by Sam's speed.

'Wasn't he only a few ranks above me?' Gavin questioned.

But he didn't have much time to think, so he used the Ring Artifact to summon a blob of water above his head that started to get bigger, and Sam noticed it.

"I wonder what that does," Sam muttered as he ignored the ball of water and dashed towards Gavin.

If Gavin was knocked out of the stage, it was a win for him, and he didn't need to wait for whatever that artifact was capable of doing.

"You are so stupid." Gavin smiled as Sam noticed a barrage of bullets made of water coming his way.

Gavin summoned a fireball and threw it on the ground around Sam, and when the water met the hot ground, mist started appearing.

Sam could have dashed at Gavin and ended this match, but he would have exposed his strength, so he decided to dodge the bullets.

Due to the constant fireballs from Gavin, steam started covering the stage, and Gavin made multiple wind blades and sent them towards Sam, who was unaware of the attack.

One of them hit Sam, who was sidestepping, and a wound appeared on his shoulder.

Gavin was smiling as he was chanting another spell, but suddenly, through mist, he saw an object getting bigger, and he immediately summoned a mana barrier.

But Sam was quicker, as before the mana barrier could cover everything, Sam slammed his leg on the ground, and a vine appeared below Gavin, covering him up.

Due to him being disrupted, the Mana Barrier broke, and Sam arrived close to Gavin, and he swung his spear to knock Gavin out of the stage.

"The winner is Sam Allister!"

Everyone started cheering for Sam, and he even impressed a few people with his performance.

Gavin grunted his teeth as he glared at Sam, and as the medics approached him to heal him, he stood up on his own.

He took the healing potion and left with a sour mood.

Matches were going on as Sam, who was back in his room, watched the screen, and on the stage were Venessa and Elena.

"She is doing good against her," Sam muttered.

He knew Venessa was a bit weaker than him, but she was a good match against Elena Rothschild, and she had a chance to win.

"But she can't win," Sam muttered.

Although Venessa was quite good, there was a main difference between her and someone like Elena.

The artifacts that Elena was carrying were more powerful, and Venessa was an equal match to Elena Rothschild.

But he didn't know that Venessa could have fought Elena equally if she used her bloodline ability, but she didn't.

And the match result was obvious: after dueling for 5 minutes, Venessa was forced out of the stage, and she didn't regret it as she looked at Elena Rothschild, who had three cuts that were still bleeding.

"The winner is Elena Rothschild."

The crowd was a bit shocked by Venessa's aggressive fighting style, which didn't involve much defensive technique.

"She managed to push Elena Rothschild that much!"

"I didn't think she was that powerful."

Students in the arena were chatting, and the recruiters immediately noticed that Venessa Baker was not from a big family.

"Contact her after this tournament ends." Most of the recruiters, including the top 5, were saying similar things.

"It seems there are a few rough gems this year," Alfred commented.

Elena, on the other hand, couldn't believe she got pushed so far against someone like Venessa, who she didn't think was much of a challenge.

After all, even in the midterm examination, it was Asher and Alyssa that gave them trouble, not others.

But with this match, Sam, Amelia, and Elena were in the next bracket, and only one match was left.

It was between Damian and Eva, and the winner of that match would then fight with one of the top 5.
