My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 6 - : First Time

It was even more effective since she didn't see any malice in Eren's eyes when he complimented her.

Eren noticed the subtle change in Zhang Wei's demeanor. Her flushed cheeks and the flutter in her heart revealed a vulnerability that he hadn't expected.

He still couldn't believe it. The Demoness was blushing because of a compliment? Had he discovered... her weakness?

Eren noticed a small icon appear in the corner of his eyes, which had an icon similar to a treasure chest.

Beneath that chest icon, a few numbers became visible.

[1/25]

He really wanted to press the icon, wondering if it was a storage box for him. Even the main character didn't possess something like this after all.

The Main Character only used a storage ring that he received from the system as a reward.

After thinking for some time, he decided to check it, taking advantage of the momentary distraction of Zhang Wei.

He tapped on the Treasure Box Icon.

The Icon became bigger, turning into a new screen which had twenty five slots. And only the first slot appeared to be filled, having a small scroll icon visible.

As soon as he opened the treasure box, he felt some knowledge get imprinted in his mind. These were the instructions on how to use the treasure box.

Although the knowledge was just assimilated, he felt as if he had known how to use this treasure box for an eternity.

He quickly brought the ring from the Hero Academy, placing it inside the second slot. That was the only ticking time bomb for him that he didn't want to be discovered at any cost.

After thinking about it more, he also brought out his phone and placed it in the third slot before closing the screen.

It was only after he got rid of all the incriminating evidence, that he sighed in relief. As long as those things weren't discovered, he could live longer.

He once again shifted his attention to the woman who was facing the other side.

Eren took a step back, giving Zhang Wei some space to collect herself. He really didn't know that all the acting classes he took in his early years were going to come so handy.

He had managed to convince even the Blood Asura. He didn't realize that most of it was because he wasn't really acting.

Most of these words were genuinely coming out of his mouth when he complimented her.

"I apologize if my words caught you off guard, Elder Zhang," Eren said sincerely, his voice gentle yet resolute. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. It's just that your presence has a certain effect on me."

Zhang Wei turned to face Eren, her expression a mix of curiosity and skepticism.

"What kind of effect?" she asked, her voice tinged with a hint of caution.

Eren took a moment to gather his thoughts before answering. He knew that his next words could potentially shape the course of their interaction in the future.

He knew Zhang Wei was strong. If he wanted to live longer, he had to get into her good books. In his quest for survival, she was an important piece.

"You are as beautiful as you are strong," he began, choosing his words carefully. "But beyond that, there's a certain aura around you that draws me in. It's as if there's more to you than what the world knows."

Zhang Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't interrupt.

Eren continued, his voice filled with sincerity. "I believe that getting to know you better would be a privilege."

"It's not often that I get to meet people like you. That's why I felt nervous when I found myself in your presence."

Zhang Wei remained silent for a moment, contemplating Eren's words. She had always been wary of people's intentions.

But Eren's words felt different. They resonated with her on a deeper level, touching a part of her that she seldom allowed others to see.

He wasn't scared of her. No, he was scared of her, but he didn't let his fears shape his opinions about her!

Finally, Zhang Wei spoke, her voice softer than before. "You have a way with words, Elder Ren."

"I appreciate your honesty, even if it caught me off guard. Let's put this behind us. I almost forgot what I came here for."

Eren nodded, relieved that Zhang Wei had responded positively to his words.

"Of course, Elder Zhang," he replied respectfully. "I apologize once again for any discomfort I may have caused."

With that, the tension in the room dissipated. Moreover, with the ring hidden, Eren felt more calm. In any case, he wasn't supposed to die yet, even in the novel.

The bigger problem was what was to come in the future. He had to make a lot of preparations. He had to make many changes to the story, all so he could survive the tsunami known as the main character.

As Zhang Wei regained her composure, her voice again turned colder. Or rather, this was the way she actually talked.

"The Sect Leader sent me here to remind you about tomorrow. It will be your first time after all."

"My first time?" Eren asked, wondering what she was talking about? What first time?

"Did you already forget?" Zhang Wei was stunned at the response. "How could you be so forgetful? Tomorrow is the day you'll be able to select your first disciple. It's the Entrance Ceremony."

"Entrance Ceremony?" Eren gulped heavily, realizing the meaning behind these words.

For many, it was just a normal entrance ceremony. But for him, it was the day when the Main Character was about to enter the Sect!

It was the day from where the first chapter began... The day this story began...
