My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: First Loss
Eren was looking at these options and with each passing second, he was able to feel his headache getting stronger.

An even bigger problem was the way this system worked. If he selected an option, he had to complete it. If he couldn’t complete it, he couldn’t get any future options or rewards.

Last time, he was somehow able to retrieve this system by making Zia his disciple through crooked means. But this time, he didn’t want to end up in a similar situation.

“I suppose I can only take the third option just to be safe…” he muttered to himself.

Making the Spirit Queen fall for him, or conquering this place appeared impossible. And the fourth option appeared too unreliable and risky, especially with that reward.

At this moment, he was thinking less about what rewards he wanted to get and more about what option was the most suitable for him.

That made the third option safest.

Even though it was hard, he could at least achieve it one way or another. All he had to do was make it impossible for the Spirits to find him.

Unfortunately, before he could confirm his option, the third option went blank and disappeared, leaving only the other three options now.

“What? Where did it go?” Eren grew shocked to see the option disappear before he could even select it. This was the first time it had happened ever since he first started receiving these options.

For a moment, he even wondered if the system was trolling him because he fooled it last time.

“Where did what go?” A woman’s voice came from behind.

Hearing that voice, Eren facepalmed. He finally understood why the third option had disappeared. It was because he had failed that option before he could even select it.

The voice belonged to the same spirit who brought him here in the first place. Hence, he was already found by the Spirits.

The third option disappeared, but he appeared to have been compensated for that at the same time.

The timer for selecting the option had only a few minutes left on the clock. But with the disappearance of the third option, the duration in the timer increased.

He now has over twenty four hours to make his selection. That at least allowed him to gain a better understanding.

“May I ask why you kidnapped me? I don’t think I had anything to do with the Spirits or the Spirit Realm?”

Eren asked with a frustrated sigh. Because of this girl, his favorite option was gone. All that was left was to conquer this world, win the heart of Spirit Queen or go with the flow.

Even if he had more time to make his selection, he still felt a little salty.

“Hmm? You know it’s the Spirit Realm? It seems Xiu Ying told you quite a lot of things. That’s quite unexpected. With how much she hates us, I thought she wouldn’t even say a single word about us.”

“Xiu Ying?” Eren frowned while standing up.

Celeste had told him before that Xiu Ying could lead him to the Spirit Realm. It appeared to be true as the spirit also looked like she knew Xiu Ying.

There was another thing that Eren noticed. It was that even the Spirit wasn’t able to see Celeste.

At first, he had thought that Celeste was also a Spirit, which made it impossible for others to see her. But that didn’t appear to be the case. Even the Spirits couldn’t see her.

He was even more curious about Celeste’s identity.

“Xiu Ying hates you? Did you try to kidnap her as well?” Eren asked with sarcasm, implying their actions towards him.

If this was their behavior, then who wouldn’t hate these spirits.

“Kidnap? Not at all. I just did what she asked… But instead of thanking me, she started hating me after that.” The Spirit innocently said.

Eren found it quite hard to believe her words. Xiu Ying wasn’t a fool. Why would she hate someone for doing what they asked?

Just what exactly was it that she asked in the first place? And how did she even come in contact with this spirit and the Spirit Realm that wasn’t even mentioned in the novel up to the point he read?

“What did-”

Screech~

He opened his lips to ask her directly but before he could finish his sentence, he heard the voice of his phoenix.

He looked at the sky and saw his phoenix shrouded in flames falling from the sky.

“Is that your Familiar?” The Spirit asked. “To think that this unwanted guest followed you as well. No wonder I felt like I had lost more life essence than I should have…”

Eren didn’t listen to her words. He flew towards the Phoenix, trying to calm her down.

He could see that his Phoenix was even more disoriented than he had been, most probably because the spatial tunnel was even more chaotic during her fall.

In his human form, Eren was certain that he wasn’t strong enough to stop his Phoenix from having a brutal fall. He needed something else.

In his world, he had promised himself that he wasn’t going to use this skill. It was more dangerous for him to reveal this skill there as it linked him with the death of the Sea Dragon Prince.

Fortunately, this was the Spirit Realm. He could use the skills freely, even the ones that he was initially very cautious about

“Dragon Transformation!”

….

“This…”

The Spirit grew silent as she watched Eren transform into a Sea Dragon.

“He has the Sea Dragon Bloodline? But those marks… Unlike the real sea dragons, he appears to be unaffected by their curse.”

Spirits were more sensitive towards Divine Bloodlines and she could feel that Eren’s Sea Dragon Bloodline had traces of Divine Celestial Dragon Bloodline.

It appeared to be very diluted, but it was still better than what she saw with the Sea Dragons who were cursed.

“How strange…”
