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

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: I saw it

Before Eren could land on the first floor, many hostile gazes fell on him. It was especially the case for the Professors that were not only stunned but also upset at Eren's actions.

Mist only looked at him in silence, being the only person who did not react. It was as if she was waiting to see just what this young man was trying to do.

"Foolish child, you are a few lifetimes too early to be able to stand on the same level as us!" One of the Professors stepped forward, reaching out his hand to slap Eren away before he could even land on the first floor.

Eren also knew that he was getting himself into a dangerous situation but it was one of the situations where he didn't have time to think about anything.

He had made a choice that he believed aligned with his main goal. In any case, he didn't want to collect coffins.

Although it was dangerous, it was also the perfect opportunity to do something when everyone was looking down on him.

If he revealed his ability, then even if he didn't end up needing to use the coffin, it was going to become much harder to even get close to Mist's daughter with Mist's suspicious personality.

If he had more than a day to deal with this mess, he could have tried other methods, but with no time, this was all he could do. The reward of this option also made perfect sense for him to take this option.

With a fluid motion, he twisted his body mid-air, using the Dragon's Bloodline to take the aid of wind.

Not only did he avoid the slap, but he also jumped even higher while still in mid air. His feet lightly landed on the palm of the Professor before his other feet landed on his shoulders.

He jumped past the professor, landing gracefully on the first floor.

The Professor who had tried to slap Eren had his face turn red. Furious, he clenched his fist and started using his ability to teach Eren a lesson.

Mist's eyes narrowed slightly. She raised her hand, suppressing the Professor and stopping him from using his ability.

She was intrigued by Eren's unexpected agility and boldness.

"What is it that you want?" she asked, her voice calm but brimming with authority. "Did you know the punishment you can receive for your actions?"

"I-i came here to meet you. The entrance exam and everything else, it was all in an attempt to meet you." Eren placed his hand on his chest, slightly lowering his head like a prince greeting a princess at a Royal Banquet.

"Oh? I hope you didn't want to meet me just to waste my time? State your purpose." Mist said, completely distracted by Eren's words.

As Eren didn't go for her daughter, instead making it clear that he was here for her, she didn't expect his true intentions.

Eren took a deep breath, his eyes locking onto Mist's. "I have information that might interest you,," he said, his voice steady despite the grumblings of youngsters on the ground floor that were still in disbelief about Eren's bold actions.

Even Eldric had started paying more attention to Eren, finding him slightly interesting. There were not many people in the world who could react so calmly to Mist.

Although Eren acted subservient, it was clear that he was hiding a lot of things. Eldric had a feeling that there was going to be a good show to watch.

As Mist was at a position where no one could threaten her, there were a lot of things that she couldn't notice. Looking at her, Eldric was reminded of his own naive self of the past.

He was also the same, believing to be invincible. He was only focused on one thing, not realizing as a terrifying net had closed in on him.

Looking at Mist and Eren, he didn't know why but he saw his own glimpse in Mist.

Mist raised an eyebrow, but maintained her composure.

"Speak," she commanded. "What is it about?'

"I-it is about Lord Aster's death! I am a survivor of the slaughter of the Coastal City where it all happened..." Eren stated, his voice not being too loud but at the same time being loud enough to be heard by everyone in this silent place.

Once again, chaos ensued. Initially the youngsters looked at each other in disbelief.

"Wait a minute, did he just say Lord Aster's death? Lord Aster is dead?"

"How is that possible? How can he die?"

Not just the students and examinees but also a few professors were in shock. Many of them thought that Eren was talking nonsense. How could it be that Aster died and they didn't even know about it?

"Silence!" Mist's spoke, making the entire hall go silent again. However, even though no one spoke anything, their eyes were still revealing the shock they felt.

Mist didn't deny Eren's words. That much was enough for a lot of them to realize that there might be some truth to his words. Spatial Hero Aster had died, and it was kept hidden from everyone.

Mist looked at Eren in silence. It was true that Aster had died. Not just him but his entire team was also killed in that city.

It wasn't just the Heroes that were killed. The entire city was left as nothing more than a ghost town with rivers of blood flowing through them.

Not a single person was left alive by the time Mist arrived.

Many people only knew about the destruction of the Coastal City, thinking that it was the work of the Sea Dragons who had gone on a rampage, but they didn't know about the deaths of so many Heroes in that incident.

As no witness was left alive, no one other than her and a few of her subordinates knew about Aster's death.

The fact that Eren knew about it could only mean one thing. He was actually there when it happened.
