My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Astral
“Did you know how she died?”

Eren found it hard to believe that someone related to the Hero Academy could die so easily.

Everyone who was recruited by the Hero Academy was the best amongst the best. How was it possible for them to die in such a manner?

If they were fighting someone for their life, the commotion should have been enough to alert the entire city.

“There were no signs of battle. So she might have been assassinated by someone of her kind.”

“So a power user killed her. This would make things a little problematic. Is the city already sealed?”

Eren did not have to think too much to guess the actions of these people. Someone important to them had died. The first thing they were going to do was seal the entire city and search everyone.

He did not want to be investigated, especially since his identity was a little sensitive.

“A power user has sealed the City,” Xiu Ying nodded.

“Can you charm him to open the seal for us?” Eren thought of a possibility.

Even if there was a seal, they could still find a way to leave this place. They had to enter the Ocean to search for the Sea Dragon after all.

“It would have been possible, if I was able to find him. But I don’t know where that person is. Even if I can find him, he would be under high security. It should be much easier to just break the barrier with brute force.

Eren scratched the back of his head. She was right. It couldn’t be easy to find the Hero who created this barrier. The Hero Academy would have to be a fool to keep such an important person without security

They could indeed break the barrier with force, but that was no different than alerting everyone in the city. All the Heroes present in the city were going to come after them.

It was fine if these were only the Heroes he had seen, but if the Dean of the Hero Academy came herself, then it could only be described as a disaster.

Eren looked out the window, his mind racing to find a solution. The hotel was the first place that was going to be searched. He could already see the Heroes gathering outside, looking in this direction.

“Hmm?”

He noticed another group of Heroes. The ones were different from the ones he saw before.

These Heroes had a gray cloak with the Hero Academy Insignia. Their identity was not weak either. From their attire, it was evident that they were all S Rank Heroes.

“To think that this small incident was able to draw them out. Just what was the identity of that woman?”

The S Rank Heroes stopped in front of Eren’s hotel. Out of all the places, they stopped right here.

Eren had a bad feeling about this. Was it just a coincidence that they stopped here?

One of the Heroes waved his hand, opening a Spatial Portal.

“A person with Spatial Ability?”

The moment Eren saw that ability, his expressions darkened.

He did not know much about the Mythical Hero Academy.

They weren’t mentioned enough, upto the point he read the novel. But there were a few people from the Hero Academy that were mentioned when talking about the history of this world.

One of them was said to be a Hero who was the Vice Principal of the Mythical Hero Academy. He was said to be a user of spatial abilities.

He could not only bend space according to his will, but also create portals from one place to another.

The Hero with the Devouring ability was killed by the four Overlords. But the person responsible for finding him and bringing the Overlords to him was the Vice Principal of the Mythical Hero Academy.

“Please tell me he isn’t Astral?”

He really hoped that his assumptions were wrong. Astral was not only the Vice Principal of the Mythical Hero Academy, but he was also the second strongest person in this continent!

Even if his personal strength was to be ignored, his abilities to create portals was dangerous enough.

If he connected to the Hero Academy and brought the Dean of Academy, Mist, then it was all but game over.

“What is he doing here?” Even Xiu Ying appeared surprised to find him here. The last time she went out to check, he wasn’t here.

“Don’t tell me the person who died was Mist?” Eren asked Xiu Ying.

To bring such firepower here, who else but the Dean of the Academy was supposed to be dead? It did not make sense for anyone else.

“It was not Mist. I saw her before. The one who died was different.”

Even Xiu Ying did not find Astral’s presence here normal. Usually, only when it was the matter of life and death of the Continent, people like Astral or Mist made a move.

Astral opened a portal. A woman’s body was flown out of the portal, and placed on the ground.

“She is the one who died yesterday.” Xiu Ying recognised the body.

“That woman…”

Eren grew silent at the sight of the woman. She hadn’t seen her face last night, but looking at her clothes, it was clear that she was the person who collided with him last night.

Another Hero stepped forward. He placed his hand on the woman’s forehead, activating his abilities.

A thin and illusory golden thread appeared. One end of the thread connected to the woman, and the other end flew straight towards the hotel ahead.

The other end of the thread came straight for Eren. Eren tried to avoid it, but the thread passed through the closed window and attached to his wrist.

“I was right. The person who last came in contact with her should be right there.” The hooded figure stood up.

“I see. If she did not have that thing, she must have given it to someone else. That person should be the last person who came in contact with her.”

Astral gazed at the second floor window of the hotel. On the other side of the window, Eren was looking back.
