Chapter 303: The New Professor
Although Eren considered the possibility of
solving this problem, he knew that it was
easier said than done.
Just to complete one fourth of his Bloodline, he had to kill a Main Character. If he wanted more, he needed to kill three more Main Characters, two of whom were completely unknown to him.
He only knew one main character and that person was even more troublesome than Ye Liang, the Main Character of the
Eastern Continent, could ever hope to be.
Not only did he have the strength that was comparable to the strength one received from the Pendant of Strength, but even more troublesome was the fact that he had the Magic Nullification ability which worked passively.
That Nullification didn’t just work on magic but also on every other ability, no matter from which continent they were from.
After thinking for some time, Eren decided to give up on that thought for now. It was something that needed much longer to accomplish, leaving no room for daydreaming.
He remained seated and closed his eyes, giving his body the time to recover. It was only after half a day passed that he opened his eyes, feeling much better.
He stood up, deciding to leave the office and find the prison where his disciples were kept. However, before that, he knew that he needed to change his clothes that were torn as if he had been in a battle.
It was good enough to fool the guards but he didn’t need to bother that much with the other Professors.
He searched around the office to find the clothes that the Professor he disguised as used to wear. Fortunately, it didn’t take him long to find the clothes that were kept in a wardrobe near the corner of the office.
Eren started changing his clothes right there, noticing that Yelen had been sleeping while sitting on the Professor’s chair.
As he wore the clothes, his eyes weren’t taken off from the young woman. He didn’t know what she did when she wasn’t with him but it was clear that she hadn’t gotten proper sleep either.
Even though she was a Spirit, she also
needed rest. He did not trouble her,
deciding to let her sleep while he took a walk outside. In any case, no one could see her even if someone was to accidentally enter the office.
If she woke up, she could easily come to him as well.
Eren carefully opened the door, trying to make as little noise as possible. Soon, he was out of the room. He closed the door behind him and chose a random direction.
He walked through the long corridors and observed his surroundings, noticing many students with a variety of abilities.
With his Identification Skill, he was able to
find quite a few useful abilities in the students that hadn’t reached their true threshold yet.
Along the way, he walked past many halls
where other Professors were taking classes with hundreds of heroes patiently listening
to them.
This was a place which was impossible to access otherwise.
Previously, he had thought that he was
only going to come here to steal the
artifact from Mist, never expecting that he would have to come here for an entirely
different reason.
“Professor Liyone, you are back!”
While Eren was observing the class, he
heard a voice coming from behind him.
Curious, he turned around and saw a young girl standing in the distance, wearing a senior student’s attire. Eren did not recognise the woman but it was clear that she was also a student.
“I was told that you left the academy for a
mission. I was just about to go and inform the class that it will be canceled today as well. Now that you are back, it seems there is no need for that.”
Without any fear, the girl held Eren’s hand
and started taking him with her. Eren couldn’t counter as he didn’t entirely understand the situation.
He had interrogated Liyone before killing
him. With that, he learned the important things about the academy, especially the location of the prison and the way to reach there.
The only thing he didn’t ask was about the
academy life of Liyone as that person died before he could reach those insignificant parts of his life.
The girl led Eren for around thirty minutes, taking him through another portal which made Eren even sicker but he didn’t reveal
it.
If anything, he was more shocked when he
found himself standing in front of another class which was even bigger than what he had seen before.
Many young heroes were sitting on their seats, as if waiting for a professor. However, no professor was here to teach
them.
“Tsk, the Professor is back. And here I
thought we would get another day off!” A disappointed voice came from the back while the students stood up at the sight of Eren in the distance.
“Welcome back professor!” The Students
said in unison, at least the majority of
them.
There were many students who didn’t even
bother standing up or reacting. One of
those students caught Eren’s eyes the most
as it was a young man sitting in the last seat, seemingly bored.
As the memories of most of the students
were erased, no one knew the identity of the young man. However, for Eren it was impossible to forget him. It was the Main Character of the Southern Continent and the reincarnation of the first hero.
By now, Eren understood everything. This was his class. Normally, it was supposed to
be canceled. However, now that he had returned, the class was not canceled. It was even worse as a student found him walking around and led him here. Suddenly, he had become the teacher of
hundreds of students with superpowers.
“Oh? Professor Liyone is back as well?” Eren was standing outside the hall, still distracted when he heard another voice. This time, the voice was not friendly, making it clear that it was someone hostile to him. He looked back and noticed another S Rank Professor who was walking in front of his own class..
