My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Great Elder’s wrath
“What is a mere elder doing here?”

Eren was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts as he heard an arrogant voice. He didn’t have to think much about who that voice was directed towards as soon after an aura descended on him.

If he was an ordinary person, that aura would have been enough to internally injure him in the least. Fortunately, he hadn’t removed the layer of the Sword Emperor’s Aura that was surrounding his body.

His aura was enough to counter any suppressive aura. As long as he wasn’t directly attacked, it was useless on him.

He turned towards the source of the voice, seemingly upset. Even if it was a Great Elder, how could they be so foolish? Were they trying to kill him just because they thought that he didn’t belong here?

Not far from him, he saw an old man standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Eren as if he was going to devour him whole.

The old man wasn’t alone, but there were a few other Great Elders behind him as well.

Hearing the commotion, more and more great elders had stepped into the wide passage.

“Heh, old Liang. It seems that age has started taking a toll on you. Even a mere elder can resist your aura?” A mocking voice came, but the target of the voice appeared to be the elder who had scolded Eren.

The old man could hear a few snickers behind him. The other people were laughing at him, which made him even more angry at Eren.

“How dare you resist?!” He strengthened his aura even more. Now, he truly didn’t care if his aura killed Eren from suppression.

If previously his suppression was only enough to injure an ordinary Elder, then now it was enough to kill them by making them bleed through all their orifices.

To his surprise, Eren still stood perfectly calm. He didn’t even fall on his knees, appearing as if he couldn’t even feel that weak aura.

“You!” The Great Elder fumed. How was it possible for an ordinary Elder to resist his aura?

“That’s right! It must be a defensive treasure! That must be the case!” The old man said, trying to justify the strange phenomenon. It wasn’t him who was weak but this shameless young man who was using a treasure to cheat.

“Should I kill him?” Yelen asked Eren, her eyes narrowing. As his guardian, it was her responsibility to protect him.

‘It’s fine. It’s just a narrow minded old man. It would be annoying to kill him here.’ Eren replied with his thoughts.

He was less concerned about the old man as he couldn’t harm him. He had Yelen, who was a powerful spirit. Even if she couldn’t resist an overlord, an ordinary Elder could easily be handled by her.

He also had his own treasures. He had more than one way to kill a Great Elder.

Lastly, he also had a hidden card that could even make him go against an Overlord Level being. It was the Unsealing Talisman which allowed him to use the sealed cultivation.

He had so many cards that he didn’t even feel like wasting any on a great elder level character.

He was more concerned about the secondary options which had a timer running out. He could select an option or he could let all four options go by letting the timer run out.

There was no difference between selecting an open and falling or not selecting an option at all. Both resulted in the disappearance of the second branch.

He could easily play safe by letting the timer run out, but he had a feeling that it was going to be the worst choice. It was better to select one and fail than to fail without even trying.

With the disappearance of Feng Yu, the only option that was relatively safer to him was to gain control over the place which didn’t have an Overlord.

It was also because the reward was a question voucher and a meeting with the author. Although he didn’t know how he was going to achieve it, it was better to try.

With the timer constantly running towards the end, he made a selection.

[Congratulations on selecting the first option]

[You have been rewarded with a hint for selected option]

[You can check the hint present in the inventory]

‘A hint? Is that a free reward? Why is the system so kind suddenly? Or is it just the second branch that’s kind? The first branch had never been this helpful.’

Every time Options from the first branch came, he never received any guidance or even the rules. But this time, he received everything he could have asked for.

At this point, Eren wondered why the second branch wasn’t the primary branch instead. However, he soon shook his head, realizing that it was a bad idea.

If it was the first branch, then he would have lost the system in the first batch of options itself. The options were a bit too hard to complete.

Even though he had selected the safest amongst them, even that felt almost impossible to complete.

….

Even though Great Elder Liang ‘exposed’ that Eren had a protective treasure, he could still hear people snickering behind him.

So what if a mere elder had a treasure? It couldn’t be a high grade treasure. It sounded more like an excuse to hide his weakness.

“You! Not only did you come where you don’t belong but you also used a treasure against me to try to embarass me?!” Great Elder Liang said with clenched teeth. “Good! Very good! The young generation will definitely surpass the old!”

“Let me see how well that treasure can protect you then!” Great Elder Liang was embarrassed which made him even more angry. And the target of this anger became none other than Eren.

The great elder rushed forward, in the blink of an eye appearing before Eren. He pushed out his palm that was brimming with strength that could destroy an entire mountain.
