Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

49 Twins Awakening



Arthur was occupied with establishing a new camp in the Lost Lands. The camp consisted of several buildings that facilitated the daily lives of hunters. The Abyss Guild’s camp alone was worth billions of AUR, but the abundance of resources in the Lost Lands made the investment worth it.

Nathan was already battling the monsters that had emerged from the dungeon break. The high level of mana in the environment attracted many beasts to the outer region, but Nathan’s goal was to defeat the Boss Monster. SS Rank Monsters had the potential to destroy cities, and while the other hunters focused on eliminating the rest of the monsters, Nathan took on the Boss Monster.

Sylvie had left Arthur because it was the day the Twins were going to undergo their awakening. Unlike Asher, they would use a Rank A mana gem for the process. S Rank mana gems were highly valuable, and even A Rank mana gems were a luxury only the wealthiest people could afford. Most of the elite families used Rank B mana gems for the awakening.

It was early in the morning and Livia and Lucas were in the mana training room where Asher usually practiced his mana manipulation. Amelia was also present, as this was a significant day for the Twins. Livia was a bit nervous, but Lucas was calm. Asher was there out of curiosity to see how long it would take for Lucas to complete his awakening.

Sylvie asked the Twins, “Do you remember how I taught you to manipulate the mana?”

“Yes!” Livia exclaimed, and Lucas nodded in agreement. The Twins were comfortable with Sylvie as she treated them kindly. Without any parental figure, they were not used to relying on others.

“Okay, Emmy, you help Livia, and I’ll help Lucas,” Sylvie instructed. Sylvie and Emmy would only control the flow of mana until the Twins could handle it on their own. The Twins sat down wearing gym clothes, with Sylvie and Emmy standing behind them.

Only Emmy and other family members were present in the mana training room. They had already arranged the Rank A mana gems, which were bright yellow and had intense mana within them. These gems could aid Rank B and Rank A hunters in their progress, but only the purity of the mana mattered in awakening. Most of the mana would be used to create a mana heart, while the rest would be used gradually over time during the awakening.

Emmy and Sylvie’s role was to regulate the supply of mana so that the Twins’ mana veins were not overloaded, which could cause permanent injury.

“We will begin now. Focus on feeling the flow of mana inside your body,” Sylvie told the Twins, who immediately followed her instructions.

Asher watched as they absorbed the mana from the gem. He was surprised to see that Livia was keeping pace with Lucas’s speed in creating a mana heart. Although Asher’s time for creating a mana heart was even less, as he was already familiar with the process.

“It seems I can take both of them in the dungeon if it goes like this,” Asher thought to himself. He had expected only Lucas to perform well, but seeing Livia’s progress, he realized that he could bring her along as well.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I can still go all out in front of them,” Asher considered. He knew that the Twins were unfamiliar with many things, so they would find Asher’s use of his bloodline strange. His only concern was that if someone experienced like Emmy followed him, it could cause some difficulties, but that would change in the near future.

Asher wasn’t going to sit around and hide his powers. He knew that doing so would only create more problems in his future plans. The people he wanted to destroy were not weak, and he was only hesitant because he couldn’t control his inner mind after his regression. However, the recent boost in his stats had relieved his problem to some extent.

“World Academy, huh…” Asher thought about his plans for the World Academy.

The academy was located on a floating island above Soran, and entry and exit from it was strictly controlled. However, Asher knew a way around it. Students were not allowed to leave the island freely after enrolling in the World Academy, unless they were given a mission or there was a special event. Most of their time would be spent on the island.

This often created diplomatic issues, as various powers in Somaria could target the children of other powerful families outside Somaria. However, knowing who owned the World Academy eliminated any such thoughts. Not only was the principal powerful, but the teachers and staff were also influential figures.

Meanwhile in Rothschild Estate in Desmar:

“How the hell can’t you control a child?” James was shouting at Louis, and Elena was standing beside him with her head low.

“I told you one thing only, DON’T MAKE A MESS THERE!”

“And what I hear now? Not only did you make a mess at the party in front of all those people, but Elena also lost badly to that Greville bastard!!!” James was angry at the loss of reputation for the Rothschild family, as well as her daughter getting badly beaten by Asher.

“I will take responsiblity and ukgh-“Louis was saying something, but James immediately used his SS Rank pressure on him, causing him to get on his knees.

“AND DO WHAT? CREATE A BIGGER MESS?” James’ eyes were glaring at Louis.

“Do you see this seal right here? I’ve been looking at this for a whole week.” James threw a letter on Louis’s face, and he saw the black envelope with a golden crow’s sigil on it.

“Forget Nathaniel Greville, we would also make enemies with the Raven as well!!” James shouted at him.

“But Dad, I was only trying to-” Elena tried to step in to calm her father, but,

“Shut up, go in your room, and you are not allowed out of your room until I change my mind.” James was controlling himself a lot.

“Okay” Elena had slight tears in the corner of her eyes, but she didn’t want to argue with her angry father, so she decided to leave for now.

“And Louis, don’t make another mess for now, just stay low or go help with the Guild work. You are not allowed to leave Desmar until you take my permission.” Listening to James, Louis quietly walked out of James’s office room.

James was frustrated from the moment he heard this news two weeks ago. He immediately ordered Louis to bring Elena back to Desmar. The last thing he wanted was Elena creating another mess in Soran. This event was a huge blow to the reputation of the Rothschild family.

“Greville…..” James muttered to himself as he sat back in his seat.

“Hurting my daughter in public, this time you made the wrong enemy, Arthur Greville.” James’ killing intent filled his room.

James would not sit around and do nothing against the Greville. Although the influence Rothschild had in Somaria was not even close to what Greville had, but in Desmar, it was different.

“I was skeptical of holding hands with the Whiteheart family, but it seems we were meant to be enemies anyway….” A flame appeared in his hands, burning down the letter that came in the black envelope in his hands. This was the “warning” letter Alfred Raven had sent to him.

Although James knew that it was mostly Elena’s fault, but after hearing how brutally Asher had injured her, he was not able to ignore it.

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

Livia and Lucas were still going at the 3hr 50-minute mark, but Livia stopped there. Amelia was surprised to see that Livia performed so well. Her body was red, and most of the baby fat in her face was gone, making her face look sharp. Lucas, on the other hand, was still going on. Most of their impurities had left their bodies, and Lucas was focusing on cleaning his mana veins.

Amelia was happy to see that Livia was also a talented genius and quietly congratulated her as they waited for Lucas to complete his awakening. Lucas’s whole body was red, and he was focusing on controlling the flow of his mana as he continued to consume the Rank A mana gem. Seeing that he was able to control the mana so well, Amelia also stepped back and let him continue his work.

At 4 hours and 9 minutes, Lucas stopped as well. He had surpassed Kevin’s record, who was considered a prodigy of this generation. Sylvie and Amelia were happy to see that the twins were so talented, and this would help them make their own name in the future.

“Congratulations, Lucas and Livia!” Sylvie hugged the twins, and they also hugged her in return.

“Can I train with a sword now?” Lucas’s eyes shone as he asked this question. Sylvie looked a bit troubled, but she needed to tell him now before his hopes grew bigger.
