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

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: The what blood?

Eren lightly tapped the Alchemy Hall Manager's head.

"Get a loudspeaker and scream from the top of the mountain about it. Why stop here?"

Eren didn't want anyone to know that he was a Seventh Grade Alchemist. He hadn't expected Zia to find out about his level in Alchemy so quickly. Not only did she discover it, but she also told someone else?

And that someone else was even worse, talking about it in front of everyone else.

"Those who are here, listen clearly," he addressed the people who were present in the hall. "Forget what you heard today. If you told anyone else, then I might be tasting your blood next..."

Those who heard his threat gulped down heavily. No one wanted to become a blood bag for Eren. All of them cherished their life.

Eren was a person who could wipe every sect for a single disciple. They didn't want to experience what he might do if they touched their bottom line.

Some were even regretting being present here and hearing this secret.

Eren didn't stay behind after issuing a threat. Instead, he walked towards the room where the Phoenix was resting, but he suddenly came to a stop.

"Urgh, how could I forget such a basic solution?"

He quickly rushed back towards the Alchemy Hall Manager.

The Alchemy Hall Manager had realized that she made a mistake. Amongst all the people present here, she was the most scared.

It became even worse when she saw Eren rushing back towards her.

"E-Elder Ren, my blood doesn't taste good! No, it tastes absolutely disgusting! Please don't!"

She stepped back in fear.

"What nonsense are you spouting now?" Eren scoffed in response. "I returned for something else. The pills that erase the last one hour of memories... Get them."

"I can't trust them to keep their mouths shut. Since we have a better solution, we'll use it."

"Ah, that!" The Alchemy Hall Manager was also surprised. She couldn't believe that she hadn't thought about it.

She was so scared that she even forgot about such a thing. She even used that pill on herself on Zia's command.

She still didn't know what conversation Eren had with Zia in the room even though she was right there when it happened, all thanks to that pill.

She quickly rushed away and returned with the memory erasure pill. She handed out a pill to everyone present and watched them consume it to ensure no one cheated.

Within a few minutes, everyone in the hall lost their memories of the last hour, even the parts unrelated to Eren.

By the time they came to their senses, they were all confused. Some remembered leaving their rooms but couldn't understand how they had already arrived at the Alchemy Hall.

Once again, they saw Eren.

"Elder Ren?" a youngster who had seen Eren before called out.

"Did he say Elder Ren?"

"Huh? You mean the Demonic Elder?"

"The one who drinks blood?"

The same conversation began again. But this time, Eren wasn't as annoyed. It just meant that the pill had worked.

"Much better," Eren commented before he left.

The Alchemy Hall Manager accompanied him from behind, being extremely respectful and apologetic.

"Where is Hall Master Zia?" he asked the young girl while stopping in front of the room where his phoenix was being treated.

"She should be at home. But someone already went to inform her about your arrival. She should be getting here soon."

"Why do I feel like you're all treating me like some rare animal that everyone wants to see?" he asked as he opened the door and stepped inside the hall.

The Phoenix was sleeping on the ground, her wings completely healed. Not a single scar or trace of the wound remained.

Eren was relieved to see that she looked a lot better. This also reduced some weight from his heart.

As soon as he stepped into the room, the Phoenix sensed his presence. She opened her eyes and locked her gaze on him.

"How are you, little one?" Eren softly asked as he approached the mythical beast, gently patting her head. "Are you feeling better?"

The Phoenix screeched with joy, her happiness visible in her eyes. It was clear she was overjoyed by Eren's return.

"She missed you a lot," the Alchemy Hall Manager informed Eren from outside the room. "She even tried to escape a few times, most probably to search for you."

"Do you want to go home?" Eren asked the Phoenix, knowing that she wanted freedom from this room.

Which Mythical Beast liked being sealed in a room every day? If it wasn't for her safety and healing, even he wouldn't have left her here.

Phoenix nodded her head as if she could clearly understand his words.

"Good." Eren kept the mythical beast in his inventory for a short period to make it easier to take her out as the door openings were much smaller for her.

"H-how...?" The Alchemy Hall Manager was stunned. She didn't understand where Eren kept the Mythical Beast. Was he also a Seventh Tier Beast Master or higher?

Only they could keep something like a mythical beast in their inner world. Excluding that, the only other option was to possess a very unique treasure.

In the entire eastern continent, only Feng Yu had something like that as far as she knew. Even the Hall Master couldn't do this.

"Just... What are you?" She asked in disbelief. She could understand why Zia was so obsessed with him.

As she was thinking about Zia, a child-like figure darted past her and entered the room.

Zia quickly closed the door behind her and cast a soundproof barrier. The Alchemy Hall Manager was locked outside, unable to even hear anything.

"What are you doing?" Eren asked, confused by the Great Elder's sudden and unusual behavior. "Why did you close the door so suddenly?"

"You... Why did you have Sea Dragon's Blood?!" Zia asked, wasting no time playing with words or greetings.

"The what blood?" Eren's expression darkened slightly.
