Why Should I Stop Being a Villainchapter 151: leonard's offer

"Wait, if you are buying this for me, there is no need--" Damian was saying something as Gazil announced the successive two bids.

"600 GP from Raelyn Whiteheart,"

"800 GP from Leonard Tarvian," Gazil said, looking at the screen before him.

"I am not buying it," Asher said as he tapped on the screen before him.

"1500 GP from Asher Greville," Gazil announced.

"2000 GP from Leonard Tarvian," Gazil said.

"Wait, are they targeting Asher Greville?" One of the students in the crowd said.

"Whoa, it's a bidding war," another student cheered.

It was not their money, so they didn't care who was spending and who was getting bullied. It was a free show for the audience sitting here to see the battle of the Senior Year students.

In Blood Faction's Room,

'Yeah, now what, Asher Greville,' Alan clenched his fist as he saw Leonard, who was bidding casually while taking a sip from his drink.

He was now glad that he had chosen to join the Blood faction.

"Leon, don't bully the first year too much." A guy said while laughing.

His words made Alan smirk a little as he realized that Asher Greville was not as invincible as he had thought him to be.

Meanwhile, in the Student Council's room,

"I thought Leon was helping this guy?" Raelyn smirked as she realized Leonard Tarvian's true intention.

"I heard the rumors he was joining Blood Faction, too," Ria spoke, and Elena nodded with her.

"Well, I guess that's what arrogance leads you to," Raelyn spoke.

"2500 GP from Asher Greville," Gazil said.

"3000 GP from Leonard Tarvian," Gazil immediately saw the bid increase.

"What? 3000 GP for a mere D Rank Artifact?" The crowd of students couldn't believe it.

"Any more bids!?" Gazil asked.

"3000 GP...1, 3000 GP...2, 3000 GP...3," Gazil counted.

"Sold to Leonard Tarvian!!" Gazil said, and the crowd loudly cheered.

But Leonard was not smiling in his mind.

'He didn't bid anymore, huh,' Leonard was confused, as Asher was known as a hefty spender in the auctions.

Some of the first years were cheering for Leonard as they were fed up with Asher's actions. His extraordinary talent also invited envy from others, but they could not confront him themselves, so they took satisfaction in seeing him lose at someone else's hands.

But there were certain students in the crowd that were booing for this kind of behavior. They were the students of Class 1, and most thought of Asher as their leader or something. Moreover, it allowed them to act arrogant, as Class 1 was placed as the strongest class due to Asher and Alyssa alone.

"Let's go; the next D Rank Artifact is a Bow," Gazil said.

"It has the effect of enhancing the arrow's damage by some amount." It was a vague explanation, but this was the limit of the Runemaster who studied these artifacts.

Only top-level Runemasters who spent days on one artifact could explain more about these artifacts, but the World Academy didn't want to do that.

This produced a risk of getting a useless artifact with a limitation that disadvantaged you.

"No.178 bids 300 GP," Gazil said.

"No.187 bids 310 GP,"

....

"Sold to No.178 for 410 GP," Gazil said as the crowd clapped for the winner.

"Next is a D Rank Sword," Gazil removed the cloth revealing a sword with a black blade.

"This is a weapon artifact that increases sharpness more than other swords of its rank," Gazil explained the description, but it didn't sound too appealing to others.

"200 GP from Sam Allister," Gazil said.

Sam's name surprised others, but the bid kept increasing slowly.

"Still not bidding," Leonard muttered.

But he was ready to trap Asher as he would be forced to bid sooner or later.

Sitting in Ranker's room, Jack didn't care either that Sam was bidding.

"Sold to Sam Allister for 370 GP!" Gazil said.

"Next is a Locket Type Artifact," Gazil announced.

"This is said to increase mana gathering speed in your body," His words made all the mages happy as they got ready to bid on it.

"Do you want this?" Raelyn asked Elena, who nodded back at her.

And in the Blood Faction Room,

"You were a mage, right Gavin?" Leonard asked.

"Yeah," Gavin replied with a smile on his face.

"I will gift you this artifact if Raelyn gives up on it," Leonard didn't promise, but knowing him, Gavin was assured he would get the D Rank Artifact.

"No.1057 bids 500 GP,"

"Another bid from Leonard Tarvian for 1000 GP,"

"1500 GP from Raelyn Whiteheart," Gavin was announcing the bids quickly.

"10,000 GP from Asher Greville!!!" Gavin announced.

"What? That's too much," Amelia told Asher, who turned his face.

"Are you increasing the bids?" Damian asked.

"But they will do the same when you bid seriously," Amelia said.

But seeing that Asher was calm, Amelia got silent. Then, finally, she decided to observe Asher. She knew that Asher was always called a genius at business, and even Sylvie, who was quite strict with her work, praised him a lot since he was young.

"11,000 GP from Raelyn Whiteheart," Gazin said.

"Raelyn, we will overspend if we go like this," Tyrone said, but Raelyn raised her hand.

"Don't worry, we have enough GP to teach this guy a lesson," Raelyn said.

"15,000 GP from Leonard Tarvian," Gazil said.

"20,000 GP from Asher Greville!" Gazil said.

"Whoa, how much GP does he have?" The students started to predict.

Suddenly the Auction had become a bidding war at the start of the D Rank artifacts, and it was not supposed to happen until later bids.

"25,000 GP from Raelyn Whiteheart," Gazil said as the name changed on the big screen above him.

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

"Sold to Raelyn Whiteheart for 25,000 GP!" Gazil announced, but the crowd was silent now.

25,000 for a D Rank artifact was too much. And only some C Rank Artifacts and very few B Rank artifacts were sold at that price.

Anyone could see that it was a loss, and previously those who were mocking Asher about losing a bid were now silent. Of course, they knew that he had the money and even more than them, but it didn't matter now that two people who probably had the most GP here were targeting him.

After half an hour, all the D Rank Artifacts were sold, and there were only a few times that Asher had bid on something. Each of those times, either Raelyn or Leonard had taken the artifacts.

Gazil was presenting C Rank Artifacts when another Sword Artifact came out.

"C Rank Sword Type Artifact," Gazil said as a beautiful white blade could be spotted by the whole crowd.

"It increases the strength of your Aura and the power behind your strikes," Gazil said as most Second Year sword users looked at the sword with their eyes wide open.

"This Artifact has a minimum bid of 1000 GP," Gazil said as he started the bid for the sword.

"40,000 GP from Asher Greville!!!" Gazil said, and the amount was enough to shake even the Second Year students.

"Got you," Leonard smiled as he picked up the device that was used to call others.

"41,000 GP from Leonard Tarvian," Gazil said.

In Asher's VIP Room,

"You have 40K GP?" Amelia almost stood up from her seat.

"45,000 GP from Asher Greville," Gazil said.

Asher saw a hologram request and allowed it.

"Oh, it seems a discussion is going on in the VIP Rooms," Gazil said as he paused the bid.

"We will wait for 30 seconds before we resume the bid," Gazil said as everyone looked upward, but all they could see were lavish rooms.

A hologram appeared on Asher's table, and all three of them could see Leonard, who was sitting with a smile on his face.

"It seems you want that sword," Leonard said, knowing it was worth 35k-40k GP.

An Aura-enhancing sword was a rare and expensive item. It had been at least 2 years since such a weapon had appeared at the Auction. Normally, if they appeared, they would be around E or D Rank, which didn't help people much when ranked up, but for Asher, it would last him two years.

"What if I do?" Asher said with an indifferent look on his face.

Leonard didn't know why, but Asher's indifferent expression irritated him, although his smile didn't disappear from his face.

"I have an offer for you," Leonard said.

"And what would that be?" Asher asked.
