My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Impossible Selection
“Huh?”
Eren withdrew his hand as a system screen materialized before him. The sudden appearance of the screen completely diverted his attention away from Zia.
Oblivious to the anger that had covered her face, Eren failed to notice her clenched fist. However, before Zia could take any action, Xiu Ying swiftly appeared between her and Eren.
“Step out of my way!” Zia’s thoughts reverberated, seething with fury. “I will annihilate this insolent child!”
“You can’t blame him! It is your fault for hiding your identity!” Xiu Ying responded.
“I didn’t tell him my identity because I wanted to see his character as I heard so much about him! But this insolent child! I will break all his bones!”
“If you kill him, you will have to face the anger of the Sect Master. She is the one who brought him to the sect, don’t forget!”
“It’s fine! I have a lot of healing pills! I will heal him after shattering every single bone in his body for this disrespect!”
“I will repeat the same thing again. How can he disrespect you when he doesn’t even know you?! In his eyes, you were a disciple and I was a Great Elder. He did nothing wrong!”
“You!”
A lot of words were being exchanged between Xiu Ying and Great Elder Zia. However, none of those words were said out loud. Only the two of them could hear each other’s words.
On the other hand, Eren was immersed in the contents of the screen, completely unaware of the things happening behind him.
[Option 1: Take the person you touched as your disciple.
Reward: Grade 7 Alchemy Master’s Knowledge]
‘Take her as my disciple? Is there something special about her?’
Eren felt a headache coming. He already had two disciples and he hadn’t taught anything to even one of them. And now he was being asked to take another one?
Unfortunately, the reward was too good to pass. If he could become a Grade 7 Alchemy Master, he could earn quite a lot of wealth.
[Option 2: Become the disciple of the person you touched.
Reward: Grade 3 Blacksmith Knowledge]
‘Huh?’
If the first option gave him a headache, then the second option gave him confusion.
What were these options? One was telling him to take her as a disciple and the other was telling him to become her disciple?
‘What dignity would I have left in the sect if I accepted a child as my master? This option is out. The reward isn’t as good enough as the first one either.’
Eren moved over to the third option.
[Option 3: Do nothing.
Reward: Grade 1 Beastmaster Knowledge]
[Option 4: Start praising Great Elder Zia loudly.
Reward: Grade 4 Alchemy Master’s Knowledge]
Both the third and fourth options seemed relatively easy to accomplish, but the rewards they offered were significantly underwhelming.
‘I will take the first option.’
ϺѴⅬΕƜⱣႸƦ.ƇОМ
He made a choice and the screen finally disappeared.
Although the third and the fourth option were easy to complete, the first option wasn’t hard either. Which disciple would say no to a master with a reputation like him?
He was new to the sect, but his reputation had already covered the entire sect, especially after his performance at the entrance ceremony.
He just had to ask and everyone would agree to become his disciple, so what was this girl?
He turned around and faced the little girl.
“Huh, when did you get here?”
He hadn’t even noticed when Xiu Ying appeared behind him. And why was she facing the little girl instead of facing him.
“I… Actually I need to tell you something.”
“Can it wait a little? I would just finish something real quick.”
Eren walked past Xiu Ying and went down on a knee so he was on the same eye level as Zia.
He wanted to find Great Elder Zia, but first he wanted to complete the option. Only after completing one option could he receive any other option in the future.
The faster he finished one, the more beneficial it was for him. didn’t want to miss another trigger opportunity because of not having completed the prior selection.
Great Elder Zia was already controlling her anger. Only after great effort did Xiu Ying manage to calm her down.
“What do you want now?” she rolled her eyes, not paying even the slightest of respect to Eren. She didn’t even try to keep up the act anymore.
Eren was a little taken aback. This little girl was truly disrespectful. First she was calling the Sect Master by her name, and then she was behaving like this.
He took a deep breath and kept his eyes on the prize.
“As you already know, I am an Elder of the Sect. I see that you have a decent level of talent. So… Would you be willing to become my disciple?”
This was the second time Xiu Ying’s expressions were distorted. She was still doing better than Great Elder Zia, who couldn’t even believe her eyes.
Decent level of talent? Become his disciple? These words kept echoing in her mind.
“It seems I am hearing things.” She rubbed her ears.
“I know you are so excited that you can’t believe it. So I will ask again. Will you become my disciple?” Eren asked again.
This time, the girl heard it even clearly. This man was actually asking her to take him as her master?
Every day, many Elders came to her, pleading for her help. And here, a mere elder who had just joined the sect was saying that she had a ‘decent’ level?
She clenched her teeth, but this time, she could not control her anger.
“You moth-”
She reached out her hand to grab Eren’s throat in anger. However, Xiu Ying reached fast and grabbed her wrist, pushing her back.
“This time, I will really drill some manners in the head of this child!” Great Elder Zia pushed Xiu Ying back, a powerful aura rose from within her body.
“Huh?” Eren was stunned.
Just the sheer aura of this woman was powerful enough to make him feel like he was suffocating. How could a disciple have an aura like this?
To relieve himself of some of this suffocating aura, he released his own Sword Emperor’s Aura.
