Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Chapter 393 Meeting of the Twins



Chapter 393 Meeting of the Twins

"I heard you are a mage," Jennifer stated.

Livia was confused by the unfolding events, but Lucas stayed calm.

"For your information, I will be the best Mage in the world," Jennifer proudly declared.

"Ok," Lucas replied, altering Jennifer's expression.

"Huh?" Jennifer's expression shifted to confusion.

"What do you mean 'ok'?" Jennifer questioned, frowning.

"Jen, let's not fight-," Jacob attempted to intercede,

"Shut up," Jennifer glared at Jacob, causing him to take two steps back.

"I am not fighting!" Jennifer asserted, turning towards Lucas.

As the classroom door opened, in walked Serena Wright, her stature immediately commanding attention. Standing tall at 6 feet, her long dark brown hair cascaded gracefully over the shoulders of her neatly-tailored overcoat, bearing the prestigious insignia of World Academy.

Her long, dark brown hair framed a face that exuded strictness, with sharp black eyes that seemed to pierce through the room, leaving an impression of unwavering discipline.

The glasses she wore did not soften her look but rather added to her severe appearance, and the red bracelets on her arms seemed less decorative and more like silent symbols of strength.

"Now, now, everyone take your seats," she instructed, as all four of them turned and noticed her.

"I am Serena Wright, and I will be in charge of this Special Class," she announced.

"But, I am not done," Jennifer addressed Serena, still upset by Lucas's nonchalant response.

"Young Lady, this is my class, and now you are a student at World Academy," Serena stated.

"Your status, your privilege, none of it will help you here," Serena declared, taking her seat.

Jennifer was about to respond but recalled Silvus's warning not to cause trouble for the professors at World Academy, or she would risk losing her opportunity to study there.

"Ok," Jennifer acquiesced, and Jacob followed suit.

Livia and Lucas took their seats near where they were standing, while Jacob and Jennifer returned to their seats from when they first noticed Lucas and Livia entering the room.

"Now, let's start with the introductions," Serena began, turning to Lucas.

"Lucas Von Greville," he introduced himself, standing and then sitting back down.

"Umm, not just your name, Lucas. Share something about yourself," Serena encouraged, as Lucas tilted his head.

"It can be anything, like what you enjoy doing or what you aspire to do in the future," Serena elaborated.

Despite her intimidating appearance, Serena was surprisingly calm, which startled Jacob, who had felt intimidated by her looks.

"I want to become powerful like my big brother," Lucas said as he stood up again and then sat back down.

Serena had an awkward look on her face, but she turned her gaze towards Livia, who looked the most excited among the four children sitting there.

"Hello! I am Livia Von Greville," Livia introduced herself.

"I like cute things and my greatsword, and I want to become strong as well,"

"So that I can protect Lucas from scary things,"

"And I want to be like my Big Sister,"

"I like your energy," Serena said as Livia smiled and sat back down.

Her energetic response was in stark contrast to Lucas's.

'Umm, Amelia Greville is a fine role model, but for that boy...' Serena thought.

"Now," Serena turned her head towards the Grandus Twins.

"H-Hello, I am Jacob Grandus, and I am here to explore and learn from World Academy," Jacob said timidly and quickly sat back down.

"That's a good way of thinking, Jacob. And the last one?" Serena asked.

"I am Jennifer Grandus, and I will be the best mage in the World," Jennifer declared.

She glanced at Lucas and then turned her head.

'This will be a bit difficult,' Serena thought.

"Ok, with the introductions done, let me tell you what we will be doing in this class," Serena said.

"First of all, don't try to force the mana inside your core," she continued.

"I am sure you all were taught the consequences of what happens when an underdeveloped body absorbs mana, but can anyone tell me what those are?" Serena asked.

Jennifer instantly raised her hand.

"Yes, Jennifer?"

"It will cause mana poisoning. That's why all first-year students inside World Academy are around 15 years old," Jennifer answered.

"Correct, and I hope all of you understand that you are different from the rest of the students," Serena said.

"Why do you think everyone starts around 15 years old, and nobody can skip grades in World Academy?" she asked.

In the history of World Academy, there had never been a case of someone skipping grades.

"And you might even wonder why your education about mana was highly restricted, even though you had access to it?" Serena posed another question.

Livia nodded her head as this was the question she most wanted an answer to.

Most of the instructors, even Nathan, stopped teaching her at a certain point, telling her she would learn those things slowly over time.

At first, Livia thought she wasn't good enough, but Sylvie told her it was the same for Amelia as well.

"It's simple, the world you see and the world I see are very different," Serena explained.

"Increasing your rank isn't just about getting stronger,"

"When your mana core becomes denser, it affects your entire body, including your brain and nerves,"

Serena conjured a ball of fire, hovering it just below the room's ceiling, spreading and controlling it.

"For me, creating that ball of fire and spreading it across is far easier than lifting my finger,"

"In my eyes, the mana inside me has become a part of my body, and my mana heart has perfect control over it,"

"In simple terms, the way you sense mana and perceive things around you gets stronger each time your rank increases,"

"So we will only understand certain things when we get strong enough, and without that strength, we can't learn new things?" Livia asked.

"Correct. If I go into the details, it would be too much for the first day, but you're here to learn," Serena said.

That feeling that Serena was describing couldn't be taught and each person needed to explore it themselves.

That's why some people even with unlimited amount of resources could never break through a certain ranks because it wasn't a simple process.

"I have only taught third-year students, so this is the first time I will be teaching the very basics. Don't shy away if you get confused,"

"And one more thing, I hope there is no conflict in my class," Serena said, looking at all of them.

Suddenly, the air around Serena changed; her calmness remained, but her presence became more formidable.

"There is no system of GP, or ranks for the four of you, so there should be no need for any fights,"

"Unlike other students, who are forced to compete with each other, I want the four of you to focus on your own growth for now,"

"Is that clear?"

"Yes, Professor!" Livia answered excitedly.

"And the other three?" Serena inquired.

"Ok,"

"Y-Yes, Professor,"

"I don't pick fights with others,"

The responses were different, but Serena didn't want to intimidate them too much, so she let it pass for now.

'It might get difficult; I should be a bit more lenient with them,' Serena thought.

Although Serena seemed patient and calm, she was one of the strictest professors at World Academy.

Because how weak four of them were, Serena needed to be careful while teaching them.

"Ok, today, I will tell you what other classes and Professors will teach you for your First Year in World Academy..."

After the Class, Serena told the Grandus Twins to leave first as she wanted to explain a few more things to Lucas and Livia.

On the way to their Dorm,

"Jen, why did you argue with them?" Jacob asked.

"I didn't argue!" Jennifer shouted looking at Jacob.

"I just wanted to know if he really was as great as the Elders were making him to be," Jennifer told with a pout on her face.

"Don't worry Jen, even Grandpa praised you when you learned all those spells so quickly, he even taught you about his silver mana," Jacob spoke with a hushed voice.

But even when Jacob praised her, Jennifer wasn't convinced.

"They all said that a mage born in the Greville Family would be very strong," Jennifer muttered making Jacob look at her.

"Hmph, I will become the best mage in the World no matter what," Jennifer claimed as she kept walking with her head held high.
