My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 276: Chapter 276: God Tier Artefact; Can’t hide
“Did he just say Eldric?” A young man asked in disbelief.
“Am I hearing things?” Another young man rubbed his ears, wondering if something was wrong with his ears.
Many people were in disbelief but just as many people were furious.
“Absurd! How dare he steal his name?!”
“Just because he is lucky enough to be born with these abilities, he thinks he can disrespect the First Hero?!”
In an instant, the entire place was in commotion. There was not a single person in the Southern Continent who didn’t know and respect that name as it was the name of the First Hero.
No one named their children Eldric as they all knew that the name came with a heavy burden. If someone took this name, it was disrespectful to the First Hero.
It was the same with Mist’s name. In the entire Southern Continent, there was only one person called Mist. Those who were named Mist changed their own names, not wanting to attract any wrath.
‘These fools… They are really blaming him because he used his own name?’ Eren watched the spectacle with amusement without intervening.
His entire purpose in coming here was to give enough reason for Mist to be distracted for at least a week. He didn’t care who brought that reason to him.
If anything, he was grateful if it could happen thanks to Eldric as he wouldn’t have to take the risk himself in that case.
Unfortunately, other than the commotion caused by the students of the Hero Academy and the examinees, nothing else happened.
The students weren’t foolish enough to attack the person that was said to have SSS Rank abilities. At the same time, the Professors didn’t react.
“Silence,” Mist softly said, making the entire place go silent again. All those who were raising the issue closed their lips abruptly.
“Do you know whose name it is?” Mist asked the man as he passed through the glass as if no physical restrictions existed for her.
For the first time, Eren was able to see Mist who appeared to be walking in the air. With each step, she came closer to Eldric.
Soon, she landed in front of Eldric with only a few meters of distance between them. Her eyes had a questioning gaze as if she was trying to see through the young man, still not realizing who he actually was.
“It is the name of the First Hero,” Eldric answered, mentioning himself in third person.
Eren had thought that he was going to expose his identity and attack Mist, but to his surprise, the man was surprisingly calm.
‘Is it because he thinks he isn’t strong enough?’
Eren wasn’t sure of his reason. The man already knew how to use his skills which gave him immense physical strength.
For him, it was the same as restarting his life at the same starting point where it ended before. So why wasn’t he doing anything? Was it because Mist had grown even stronger in this time?
Was it because she had become an Overlord, bringing her strength to a new realm? Or was it because his body wasn’t fully grown so the strength he could utilize was still limited? Ꮇ∀ᏞƎƜƤ¥Ꭱ.ƇОᎷ
Although Eren didn’t know the reason, he knew that Eldric was a ticking time bomb that was waiting to explode. He just needed to give it a little nudge which he was a master at.
“You know it is his name but you will used it? Do you think you can carry the burden this name comes with?” Mist asked as if she cared about the First Hero.
Although Eren couldn’t see Eldric from behind, he was sure that the young man was quite good at acting as Mist still didn’t appear to notice anything out of place.
At the same time, he also felt that Mist was also good at acting. He couldn’t see even the slightest hint of falsehood in her words as if she actually did care about the First Hero.
It even made him wonder if his initial assumption was actually true or not. Was Eldric actually betrayed by Mist for power or did he read the situation wrong?
Eldric’s fists were clenched even more tightly behind her back, making it clear that he was disgusted by her words. The actions of both sides made Eren see a different picture and he didn’t know which was the real picture.
“I believe I will bring this name to an even greater height,” Eldric said calmly without a hint of arrogance in his words. It was as if he actually believed his words.
Mist’s eyes narrowed for a moment before her expressions returned to normal.
“Not just your abilities but even your arrogance is just like him.” She turned around and returned to the first floor, not saying anything further.
For a moment, she even appeared disappointed as she left.
The other students were still glaring at Eldric, disgusted by his arrogance.
“He really claimed that he will bring that name to greater heights? He thinks he can achieve more than the First Hero did?”
“Truly a frog at the bottom of the well. At first I looked up to him because of his abilities but I see that he’s just a person with a rotten personality!”
“So what if he had a powerful ability? With that disgusting arrogant personality, he can’t go far in life.”
Many youngsters expressed their opinions, keeping their voice down so that Eldric could hear them but not the ones on the first floor.
“You can begin.” Mist gracefully landed on the first floor, giving instructions for the test to begin.
As soon as her words fell, the exit doors were closed. No one was allowed to leave the arena for as long as the test lasted.
Even Eren found himself amongst the group, taken as a test participant.
“The first test will be to rank your abilities!” A Professor landed in the middle of the hall.
He raised his hand, making the ground in the middle split in two. A table came out of the ground, carrying a black crystal sphere.
“I’m sure most of you already know, but this is a Legend Rank Artefact, also known as the God’s Artifact.”
“You can’t hide anything from it. It will measure and rank your strongest bloodline ability as soon as you place your hand on it!”
