My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: What was this person?
….

….

….

“Urgh…”

Eren felt a terrifying headache. It was even worse than the time he woke up in this world for the first time. Even the worst hangover was not comparable.

He could feel that he was lying on something soft. The sweet scent of flowers was all around him.

Slowly opening his eyes, he realized he was lying on a bed of soft grass.

“Ying!” The moment he came to his senses, his eyes snapped open. He sat straight and looked around him, having a bad feeling.

“Are you up?”

A melodious voice came in response, which made Eren somewhat calmer.

He looked towards the source of the voice and saw Xiu Ying, who was taking a bath in the pond.

“Are you alright?” Eren stood up, only to fall the moment he tried taking a step forward. His body felt even weaker.

Xiu Ying came out of a pond, covering herself with clothes as she rushed over to Eren.

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that question?” Xiu Ying helped him sit straight. “You slept for so long.”

“I had a terrible nightmare.” Eren rubbed his forehead, still feeling as if the nightmare had been too real. “I saw that we entered the Coastal City, and then the Heroes came, and so many things happened.”

“In that nightmare, I think I even hurt-”

Eren tried telling Xiu Ying everything he saw in that strange nightmare. However, his words came to a sudden stop when he saw a mark around Xiu Ying’s throat.

Xiu Ying was very strong. If someone was able to leave such marks, it only went on to show how dangerous that situation was.

“That was not a nightmare, was it?” he asked directly, his voice turning serious.

This place was similar to where they spent there last night before they entered Coastal City. When he woke up here, he thought he had always been here, and everything else was nothing more than a nightmare.

Unfortunately, the signs were all present for him to see.

In that state of mind, he was not able to control himself. Everything felt too hazy, as if it was truly a dream where he was just a spectator and nothing more.

In that dream, he saw killing every hero. He almost killed Xiu Ying as well. He did not know what happened after that, but he could make a guess.

When he killed the other heroes, the time of Unseal was already close to reaching zero. The effect of the Unseal Talisman probably ran out, which made him pass out.

“I am sorry.”

That was the one thing he could tell Xiu Ying while caressing her cheeks. He had almost killed her, but she did not hold any grudge. She did not try to attack him, even when he almost killed her.

Xiu Ying placed her hand over Eren’s hand, revealing a beautiful smile without any grief. Instead, she looked relieved that he was awake.

“I don’t know what happened to you there, but I am glad that you are back.”

Eren could say nothing in response. He even felt that this girl in front of him was too good for him. She had come on such a long journey, without hesitation, all to help him. She even ended up almost dying.

Even then, she was still so innocent. He could thank her, but he did not want to do that. They weren’t strangers to thank each other now. If anything, she was his family.

“I will make it up to you.” He only said a single sentence in response.

“You already made it up to me,” Xiu Ying replied.

“I did? How?” Eren asked, appearing confused.

“By saving my life,” Xiu Ying stated. “I don’t know what you did, but I know it hurt you a lot.”

She could still hear his painful cries, as if they belonged to someone begging for help. She did not know what Eren did, but she thought it was some forbidden skill.

To save her life, he did not hesitate in hurting himself. In the first place, he could have left safely if he had allowed her to die.

Astral had already told him that he could leave. But he was caught in this mess because he tried to save her. It was all because of her, but he still did everything he could to save her.

How could she not love a person like that? How could she not cherish him? In her eyes, he was even more special.

He put his life at risk to save her. So was it really a favor if she did the same? No. Did he need to repay her? No. She did not believe he needed to do anything. He had already done enough.

Eren lowered his head. For quite some time, there was only silence between the two. But this silence also held a meaning inside.

“Why do you still care about me? Did you not hear him call me a pawn?” After a long time, Eren asked.

Even if he did not want to believe it, he knew that she had realized his identity. There was only one reason someone like Astral would call him a pawn of the Academy. It was because he was a spy.

“I won’t ask anything about that. Because I don’t believe you mean any harm to the sect.” Xiu Ying did not deny his question, but she did not ask anything about it either.

“That is true. I mean no harm to the Sect.” Eren nodded, but even he did not know how to explain it.

“Unfortunately, even I can’t tell you everything yet. So I can only ask you to believe in me.”

He did not know why Ren became a spy for the Academy. He didn’t even know how he managed to become an Elder in the sect, without being exposed.

There were a lot of questions in his mind about Ren, and those questions only increased in number with the recent fiasco.

He had only removed the seal for two minutes, and his entire world had fallen apart. He had always thought that Ren used to be very weak, but he was proved wrong.

He could not understand just what this person was?
