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

Eren looked at the Hero who had taken the Ghost Queen from him.

While interrogating Liyone, Axxel and Ghost Queen, he had managed to gain a rough understanding of the abilities of the High Ranking Heroes of the Academy.

Amongst them, there was one person whose abilities weren't particularly useful in battles but it was quite versatile.

It was the Hero who usually wasn't paid much attention to, but knowing Mist, Eren knew that she was going to bring him here.

Although he pretended to be disgruntled, it was something that he had already expected, especially since he had researched the abilities of prominent Professors in the Academy.

Last time this person wasn't in the Examination Hall, which proved to be beneficial for him. If that hadn't been the case, Eren was sure that he would have failed without even realizing why he failed.

This time, he didn't make a plan in ignorance. Unlike before, he wasn't forced by the circumstances.

Without even realizing, the person had helped Eren, becoming a part of his plan. He couldn't take the Ghost Queen with him yet as she was a useful pawn for him.

Still, he knew that if he just let her be, the entire Academy was going to doubt him. Instead of being merciful and letting her be free, he needed someone else to save the damsel in distress.

In this situation, that seemingly forgotten Hero became the one who saved the 'innocent' hostage. From this point on, the Ghost Queen had nothing to do with him, at least in the eyes of the other people of the Academy.

"I will give you one last opportunity. Tell me where my daughter is, or else-"

"Or else what? You will kill me?" Eren asked, with a mocking gaze. "I am sure you also realize that my life is directly related to your daughter's life. If I die, you will not find her."

Although Eren didn't like blackmailing others, it didn't mean that he wasn't an expert in it.

He had already read too many novels and every novel had multiple Villains. If anything, he had read more villains than he read Heroes in every story.

"She might die of hunger, waiting for her mother who was too busy destroying the last clue she had. Or worse, if someone else found your daughter, I'm not even sure what they might do to her. Are you sure you want to take that risk?"

The more Eren spoke, the darker Mist's expressions became. For others, it was impossible for him to escape from Mist. However, they had forgotten that he had something that held the life of Mist... Her precious daughter.

Mist didn't attack Eren directly. Instead, she glanced in the direction of the Ghost Queen who was momentarily stunned. Why was this woman looking at him? Did she already know everything?

It took her a few seconds to realize that Mist wasn't looking at her but the person who had saved her.

While looking at him, Mist walked towards the table that was placed next to her. Her fingers gracefully touched the table, surprising everyone about her sudden yet strange actions.

While Mist's hands were touching the table, the man next to the Ghost Queen started using his ability, establishing a connection between the table and Eren. He planned to switch places so Eren could end up in Mist's hands without much trouble fighting.

"You are right. I can't kill you. But I can make your life worse than death," Mist told Eren. "I will make you crave death. As for finding my daughter, even if I have to rip your soul to shreds, I will find her. So you don't have to worry about it."

As she spoke, a strange spatial fluctuation surrounded the table which was barely noticeable. At the same time, a similar phenomenon took place around Eren.

The table which Mist was touching, suddenly disappeared. At the same time, Eren also disappeared. The table appeared above the table on which Eren was sitting, appearing upside down.

"Hmm?" Mist looked down, taken aback. In her hands, Eren hadn't appeared. All that appeared in her hand was a piece of stone that looked quite useless.

Even the person who used his abilities to switch Eren and the table was stunned, wondering where Eren went? How did he switch with the useless stone?

"You should have stopped while you were ahead." While he was confused, a whisper fell in his ears, making his face grow pale.

It took a moment for everyone to realize that Eren was standing behind the Hero who had saved the Ghost Queen. All of them saw his chest bleeding with a hand coming out of his chest, holding on to a heart.

Only the sound of Eren's footsteps resounded in the hall as he walked away from the corpse of the Hero who fell on the ground with a thud.

"Isn't it about time you stop using your pawns, my darling?" Eren asked as he strolled through the lab, tossing and catching the heart as if it was nothing more than a ball for him to play with.

After a few times, he kept the heart in his inventory. The ability wasn't particularly eye-catching for him.

He especially didn't want to send anything in his body that contained any inkling of the spatial element which was in conflict with his body. That was also why he didn't risk devouring Aster.

At the same time, he also didn't want to toss such a precious material away. It was the heart of a Hero and he wasn't sure when it could be useful in the future.

In this world, nothing is impossible. Even the most insignificant things of today could become a precious resource of tomorrow.

The Ghost Queen was left standing in a daze, watching Eren with great fascination. How many people in the world could be so carefree and charming when standing in front of someone like Mist?

On the other hand, Mist was furious. Her fists were clenched tightly to the point that she doesn't hold back anymore.

"Since you want that, I'll fulfill your wish!" she exclaimed while her figure disappeared. She appeared behind Eren, accompanied by the entire lab being filled with an unknown mist.
