My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Be a man
After the initial shock, a wave of happiness engulfed him.

The new information he received, provided him with a rough estimation of where he stood in the timeline of the story after transmigrating.

The novel commenced with the Main Character’s arrival at the Sect for the Entrance Exam.

Throughout the exams, the Main Character demonstrated exceptional skills, surprising those who had underestimated him.

It was also the day when the Main Character had a conflict with Elder Ren.

Since Elder Ren had no disciple, he had made up his mind to take the Main Character under his wing.

Unfortunately, the Main Character secured the top position, granting him the freedom to choose his own master.

Despite Elder Ren’s desire, the Main Character did not select him. Instead, he chose the person standing right before him: Zhang Wei.

Yes, Zhang Wei was the chosen master of the Main Character. Even if she wanted to refuse, she had no choice.

According to the rules, the First Place Candidate of the Exam had the privilege to select any Elder as their master.

“Wait a minute. If the Entrance Exam hasn’t started yet, it means I have the opportunity to alter the future,” Eren thought to himself.

Although he hadn’t figured out how to return to his own world, he had discovered a means to survive longer in this new world.

All he needed to do was avoid catching the Main Character’s attention and keep his true identity concealed.

Zhang Wei observed Eren’s constantly shifting expressions, unable to comprehend what was going through his mind. Sometimes he appeared depressed, while other times he seemed happy.

“Thank you for the information.”

Eren came to his senses and realized that now wasn’t the time to think about anything else. Zhang Wei was still before him.

“I will definitely attend the Entrance Exam and select a disciple. Please tell the Sect Master to not worry.”

Zhang Wei nodded.

Since she had finished delivering the message, she turned to leave.

Eren watched her leaving. He let out a sigh of relief. He had survived the first interaction with the Blood Asura. But how long he could do that, he wasn’t sure.

When Zhang Wei disappeared from his view, he dropped on the mattress, exhausted. His entire body was covered in sweat.

He didn’t even have the courage to move anymore. He simply looked at the plain ceiling.

“In just one night, my entire world changed. It doesn’t make sense at all. Just what was that website? What was this novel? How could it drag me inside?”

He was talking to himself when a screen with certain options appeared again.

[Option One: You have been sent to an unfamiliar world. You decided that it’s better to die than to live in this scary world. Jump off the cliff. Don’t take the help of the Phoenix.

Reward: Strength +1]

[Option Two: Life is hard. Be a man and go with the flow.

Reward: Luck +1]

[Option Three: Contact the Mythical Hero Academy and tell them that you are quitting.

Reward: A beautiful black coffin (Rare Tier)]

[Option Four: Tell the Sect Master that you aren’t Elder Ren. Ask her if she knows of any method that can send you back to your real world.

Reward: A beautiful white coffin (Rare Tier)]

“Jump off the cliff? You motherf-” Eren cursed out loud, seeing the first option.

“Are you trying to be funny? Jump off the cliff? You freakin bastard, just let me see you once and I’ll make you experience what jumping off a cliff feels like!”

Seeing the options, Eren couldn’t control his anger.

The first option was basically telling him to die if he didn’t want to live in this world. If he jumped off the cliff, the only thing waiting for him was certain death.

What was he going to do with one point of increase in strength after dying? What kind of stupid suggestion was this?

As for the third and fourth option, they didn’t make sense either. It wasn’t as if he didn’t know about the strength of the Mythical Hero Academy.

If he told them that he was quitting, it was only a matter of time before he was killed. And the worst part was that he wasn’t even going to see his death coming.

If he went with the flow of the story, he could at least avoid some mistakes. He knew about the future after all.

But if he changed things drastically, even he couldn’t predict what might happen in the future.

In the story, Elder Ren died in the fiftieth chapter. But if he was to tell the Hero Academy that he was quitting before the story even began, it wasn’t impossible for him to die within the first ten chapters!

As for telling the Sect Master about his transmigration, she would have to be crazy to believe him. She might even kill him directly, saying he had gone crazy.

“And coffins as a reward? Was that supposed to be funny? Are you some cheap troll?” Eren asked out loud. “You’re having revenge for the bad review, aren’t you? I was right! You really are a child!”

….

The beautiful Phoenix circled around the mountain, occasionally hearing its master shouting. Fortunately, there was no one else to hear Eren’s words.

No one was allowed to approach the Mountain except the Elders.

After cursing the Author for a long time, Eren finally calmed down. He could only curse but there was nothing else he could do. He didn’t even know why he was inside a novel. Was it all because of a mere review?

What kind of site could pull someone to a different world? Just what kind of being was the person who wrote this novel? And why him? Just because of criticism?

Although he wanted to believe his theory, he felt that something was amiss.

“Ah, that’s right. My phone…” He sat up remembering his phone that had arrived into this world with him.

He opened his System Storage and pulled out the phone which still had a fifty percent charge.

“What the heck? It is still getting a signal?’
