My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Is everyone in your world this lazy?
[Thirty minutes ago]
Astral stood before a lifeless body. Next to him, there was a man from Mythical Hero Academy, who was giving him a brief.
After hearing the brief, Astral silently walked away, lost in thoughts. He looked a little tired, as if he just wanted to return and sleep instead.
He stopped under a tree, far away from others. Leaning against the tree trunk, he closed his eyes, almost dozing off.
“Are you seriously sleeping now?” As soon as his eyes closed, a sharp voice appeared in his head.
“Do I really have to be here for this? Can’t they handle it?” Astral lazily asked.
“Is everyone in your world this lazy?” The voice appeared again. “Don’t forget why we came here! We must find that knife!”
“If we fail and it is used on Mist, you would lose a lot. If something happens to her, the next target would be you.”
The voice appeared in Astral’s head again.
Astral looked to his left. For many, there was no one standing next to him. But for him, there was one person that only he could see and hear.
If others were able to see that person, they would have been shocked. The person looked no different than Astral.
“You are the spirit of real Astral. Can’t you find her soul and ask her where she hid the knife?”
“That’s not how things work, you fool!” The Spirit snapped in response.
He could not believe that he was stuck with such a lazy and carefree person.
It had been a few weeks since he died suddenly. Even he did not know why he died. The only thing he knew was that he became a spirit after his death and discovered that another soul was possessing his body.
No matter how much he tried, he wasn’t able to recover the body. The body that previously belonged to him, was now rejecting him.
That person was also the only one in this world who could see and hear him.
At first, he had thought that the soul who possessed his body was the reason for it. But that person looked just as confused, talking about some novel.
Not only was he confused, but he was also scared the moment he saw a spirit next to him. Only the real Astral knew how he calmed this guy at that time.
Astral was convinced that it was impossible for him to return to his body. But still, his loyalty towards the Hero Academy did not allow him to give up.
Even if he wasn’t inside this body, he knew that the Academy needed an Astral. Hence, he started training the person on how to use his abilities.
“What is the point of struggling so hard when I am just going to die?” The fake Astral replied.
In the corner of his vision, he could see a timer. And that timer was showing only one thing.

[Time until death: 11 Months 2 Days 16 Hours]
“Did you never learn the basic principle of life? One should never give up, no matter what the circumstances,” the spirit proudly stated.
“Easy for a dead person to say. But whatever, I’ll help you again. Anything is better than your constant nagging. So tell me, what should I do to find the knife?”
“That’s easy. There is a Hero who can help you find the last person she came in contact with. If we follow the lead, we should find the knife.”

[Present time]
‘I know! I heard you! Stop yelling in my head!’
He appeared a little angry, but his anger was not entirely directed towards Eren.
The Mythical Hero Academy, and the Great Demon Sect had been enemies for a long time. Even though there were no large scale wars, that enmity hadn’t weakened.
It was rare for one of them to step in the domain of the other. The higher their strength and ranking, the harder it was for them to step on another continent.
Xiu Ying might not be the strongest of the Great Elders, but she was one of the most dangerous.
She had killed countless people from the Southern Continent, including a Professor at the Academy, who was also a S-Rank Hero.
It wasn’t wrong to say that she was a wanted person in the Heroes’ Continent. Now that she was here, she could not be allowed to leave.
“It is only a matter of time before there is a war between two continents. If she is allowed to return, she would definitely become a big threat in a large-scale war. Kill her while you still have the opportunity!”
The person who possessed his body did not care about the enmity. But Astral’s Spirit had not forgotten.
His loyalty towards the academy was unbreakable, and his hatred towards the Eastern Continent was even stronger.
After Astral confirmed that the ring was real, the transmigrator allowed Eren to leave. But with Astral’s constant bickering, he had already made up his mind that he needed to kill Xiu Ying.
“Where do you think you are going?” Eren stopped Astral when he started stepping towards Xiu Ying.
“I told you that you are free to go. You are a valuable asset to the Academy. However, that woman cannot be allowed to leave. She must be eliminated, or that guy would never stop yelling in my head.”
“Please don’t even try this. I can’t let you hurt her.”
Eren really hoped that things would not come to this point. If he stepped back, he could leave safely. However, he did not want to leave Xiu Ying to die. Even if it meant taking drastic steps.
“Don’t you think you are crossing the boundary? You know that she is our enemy. But you still want to protect her? Should I take it as your betrayal?”
Astral’s sharp gaze landed on Eren. He grabbed Eren’s wrist. “I am tired, so I will give you one last opportunity. Step back, and let me deal with her.”
