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

....

"Why are there so many people from the Hero Academy in our city?"

"Is something big going on?"

"Idiot, did you not hear the rumor? A High Ranking Hero from the Hero Academy was killed here. They are probably here to investigate."

"To investigate one death, was there really a need for so many people?"

"The person who died wasn't an ordinary Hero after all. He was an S Rank Professor at the Academy. It's no surprise that they sent so many people."

In a crowded bar, many drunk men were talking about the recent happenings in the city, especially with the arrival of so many outsiders, wearing the crest of the Hero Academy.

At the same time, in the central area of the city, a house was surrounded completely.

The Heroes that belonged to the National were stationed outside. Meanwhile, the Hero Academy's team had entered the house, escorted by the Prime Minister of the Nation.

"This is definitely his work." A man with a Hero Academy's badge looked at the corpse in the middle of the hall. "Devourer was here."

"What an annoying man. He is targeting people with important abilities."

"Should we inform the Dean?"

"There is no point in informing her as we aren't even sure if that person is still in the city. Moreover, she has long since left the continent."

"She left the continent? Wasn't she searching for Devourer? Why did she suddenly leave?"

"Probably only she knows. However, I can only be sure that it has something to do with Devourer."

The Prime Minister silently listened to their conversation, not intervening as it was not his place. Still, he was slightly taken aback as he heard the name of Devourer.

"Take care of the body and search the entire city." The S Rank Hero turned around. While walking away, he placed his hand on the Prime Minister's shoulder.

As soon as he touched the Prime Minister, the man's eyes started shining in a hazel light. His expressions went blank.

A few seconds later, his eyes returned to normal and he looked confused.

He watched a body being burned in front of him and the people of the Hero Academy turning to leave.

"Huh? When did we enter the house? Why don't I remember anything?"

Confused, he followed the team of the Hero Academy, forgetting everything that happened from the movement he entered this house. He even forgot the fact that he heard Devourer's name.

The entire city was surrounded by an unbreakable dome. It was impossible to leave the city as one could only enter the dome but not leave.

"Apparently that man also has the ability to disguise. Even if we search the entire city, can we find him?"

"You don't have to find him. You just have to confirm that he is in the city," the silver haired man declared, only letting his team members hear his words. "As long as there's even the slightest of suspicion, there's no need to work too hard. We will burn this entire city down. It's better to be safe than sorry,"

He was Liyon, leader of the team, and also the most Senior Professor amongst all the ones that were sent here.

His ability allowed him to take care of all the aftermath through mental manipulation. Not only could he erase the memories of an entire city at the same time but he could also do much more.

Normally, he was not sent out of the Academy. However, this time he was sent out to take care of exactly this kind of mess.

In the absence of Mist, the orders were being given by someone else and that person didn't care about the means that had to be used.

As long as he could take care of this mess, he could have an opportunity of becoming the Vice Dean.

"Hmm?" As soon as Liyone finished giving commands, his footsteps halted, feeling as if someone was watching him.

With his abilities, he was more sensitive towards such things. If it was just an ordinary person watching him, he wouldn't have registered it. It only meant someone significant was secretly observing him.

"It seems that he is still inside the city," he thought, the corner of his lips crept up. "Is he trying to hunt me this time?"

Instead of feeling scared, he was gleeful. He just didn't reveal it on the surface. The reason he came here wasn't just to solve this case but also to capture Devourer.

He was not just the hunter but also the bait that was supposed to lure Devourer out, his abilities being something that he was sure Devourer couldn't ignore.

The only problem was that he couldn't pinpoint the exact location.

"Since he is here, then it makes things a lot easier." He brought out ten crystals, giving one to each of his men.

"Go and plant these gems at the ten outer points of the city. We might as well cut off all his escape routes, even the ones with spatial escape."

Ten Heroes immediately dispersed while the remaining followed Liyone.

At the same time, sitting on a roof, there was a man playing with a small box.

The box was something that all those who had seen Devourer previously would have recognised as this was what he took from Mist.

One of the seals was already removed, leaving only three more seals. Amongst the three seals, the seal of Feng Yu was easier to remove. He could do that any time he wanted as she trusted him.

Only the seal of the Holy Priestess and the Necromancer Tower Master was different. Still, he didn't care about that for now. For now, he only wanted to focus on gaining abilities and leveling up.

This place was his hunting ground as well as the treasure chest. Even he hadn't expected someone so useful to arrive which had surprised him when he used Identification on the man.

"With this, all the missing pieces should start fitting the puzzle," he said while playing with the small box like it was a toy.
