My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: The Seductress
“I heard he made quite an entrance during the Sect Entrance Exams today,” the woman sitting on the chair let out a chuckle. “He makes me want to meet him.”

“You’re not meeting him.” The Sect Master lazily stated.

“I know, I know.” The woman smiled. Unfortunately, that smile was hidden behind a thin veil that covered half her face.

Every movement from her appeared to be filled with seduction that could make any man go crazy.

She was the Great Elder of the Sect. No one knew about her true strength because she never had to fight.

Still, she was known to be a scary being who could make any man fall for her, no matter their strength.

There was once a Teacher of the Hero Academy who was sent to kill her. But instead, he fell in love with her at first sight.

In the end, all she did was give a command to the Hero Academy Teacher and he killed himself.

Ever since then, it was strictly forbidden for any man to come near her. Even in the Great Demon Sect, no man was allowed to see her.

“He seems to be decent though. His aura… It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that.” The Great Elder stood up.

“To think that there would be an aura that would even make me feel…” She didn’t finish her sentence. She simply glanced at her hands that were trembling.

“Such weird options this time,” Eren muttered after going through all the options. “Was I really wrong about the pattern? Or is the first option really the most dangerous?”

He shook his head lightly.

“That can’t be. It must be me, who thought I discovered a pattern when there wasn’t any.”

He had come here to this Library. Moreover, it wasn’t a battlefield or anything. What danger could be here?

Even if he was to be cautious and take the second option just to be safe, he couldn’t do that since the reward of the first option was very lucrative.

Ever since he received the Sword Emperor’s Aura, he had been too eye-catching. It was even worse since he couldn’t control this aura.

It was a passive skill which was always active. He stood out the most because of it. While other Elders didn’t reveal their aura unless needed, he did so every second.

He didn’t want to appear as if he was arrogant and wanted to show off. That was a shortcut of getting hated by everyone after all.

Since it was the first day, problems weren’t big, but what about the future?

He really needed a method which could allow him to turn this passive skill into an active skill that he could control.

The first option’s reward was just that. It was like the system was telling him that he shouldn’t select this option, while also telling him that he should select this option.

In the end, he decided to go with his heart and accept his greed.

“I will select the first option.”

As soon as he finished making a choice, he received the reward. The information about the method to control his aura started flooding his mind.

He felt as if this knowledge had always been a part of him. The method allowed him to control his aura to perfection.

He could make it so that not a single person could feel his aura, even if they were right next to him. Or he could make it so that specific people around him could feel him.

He could also lower the ranger of his aura or extend it. If he lowered the range, the aura became even stronger. But if he increased it, it became weaker.

He tested it right away, retracting his aura before observing the reaction of others.

Just as he expected, the method worked. He could see that the people who looked as if they were under heavy pressure, looked more natural.

“Since I have taken the reward, there’s no going back.”

He stepped inside the Ancient Library of the Great Demon Sect.

The interior of the library was just as magnificent as its exterior.

The shelves were filled with countless ancient tomes, scrolls, and manuscripts.

The Library looked smaller from outside, but on the inside, it was huge. It was as if the library contained a world within itself. The space also behaved differently here.

He was just on the ground floor, but he should still see hundreds of thousands of shelves.

Reading about this in a novel was much different than personally experiencing it. It was like a world of magic.

This was just the ground floor, yet it contained a plethora of knowledge waiting to be discovered.

The books, skills and manuals in this library had been gathered from all over the continent. Most belonged to other Sects that were destroyed by the Great Demon Sect.

At least that was the case for the ground floor.

From the second floor onwards, all the books were the ones that were created by the Great Demon Sect.

The higher the floor, the more precious the book that could be found there.

Eren looked at the fascinating sight as he made his way towards the stairs, going upstairs.
