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

Eren watched Yelen speak, but his expressions only became darker with each passing second.

It was not because of what she was saying, but because he couldn\'t even understand what she was saying.

Yelen\'s words kept breaking apart, as if the world around Eren itself had started glitching the moment she started speaking.

It felt as if something or someone was trying to stop her. And only one person came to Eren\'s mind who was capable of doing something like that.

"The damn author..."

Eren opened his inventory and brought out an empty notebook with a pen. He tossed the two things at Yelen.

"That\'s enough. I can\'t hear a single thing that you are saying. It\'s better for you to write instead."

Yelen looked at the notebook near her before looking up at Eren.

"I think you should stop. I am under an oath. Even if I tell you everything, the oath itself will stop anyone from knowing about it."

"Even if I am to write about it, nothing will change." She opened a notebook and wrote something about it.

As she finished, she handed the notebook back to Eren.

Eren opened the notebook and read what was written within. However, the same thing happened again.

The words in the notebook were unreadable. It was as if Yelen had written in some nonsensical language.

Eren wasn\'t sure if this was actually because of an oath or if Yelen was acting and making an excuse.

"Fine. If you can\'t tell me or write it, then just answer in gestures." Eren kept the notebook back, not planning to give up.

"Did we meet before today?" he asked.

After a brief period of silence, Yelen nodded.

"The person who made you take this oath... Was it the author?" Eren asked. "I mean, a man whose face is blurry and..."

He tried describing the author of this world that he had met. Even though the man said he wasn\'t one, for Eren, he was definitely the author.

Eren expected Yelen to nod. Who else but the creator of this system could have made Yelen take an oath like this? No one else was capable of bringing a dead spirit back to life.

Unfortunately, to his surprise, Yelen shook her head.

"It wasn\'t him?" Eren found it hard to believe. If it wasn\'t the author, then who was it?

In this world, was there truly someone who was as capable as the author, able to bring a dead spirit back to life?

It would still be understandable if the dead spirit was an ordinary spirit. But the spirit in question was the original spirit and the first spirit queen.

"No, wait. Maybe he changed his looks when he met her? That would explain why he doesn\'t match the description I gave her," Eren thought out loud.

Nothing else made sense. This was the only possibility. Just because she didn\'t recognise him doesn\'t mean it wasn\'t that person.

Although he was convinced about the identity of that person, there was also an absurd thought in his mind. He didn\'t even take that thought seriously, but it kept annoying him.

In the end, just for his peace of mind, he asked, "The person who made you take that oath... Was it me?"

Yelen went absolutely silent. She didn\'t react anymore. She simply watched Eren blankly.

"I will ask it again. Was the person who made you take the oath me?!" he asked again, a bad feeling rising in his heart as he saw her hesitation. He didn\'t want to believe it, but was it really true?

A sudden pain rose in Yelen\'s heart as lightning flickered around Eren\'s contracted mark.

Yelen clenched her fist as she nodded, her face growing pale from the pain.

"Another question... For you to be so sure that you met me before... Is your basis for that my current look?" Eren asked, changing his question.

His current look was fake. It was just an illusion caused by the ring of disguise that Devourer had given him.

If her basis was his looks, then it could only mean that she was talking about someone other than Ren, as Ren didn\'t look like his current disguise.

Yelen shook her head in response.

"Your illusion doesn\'t work on me. I can see who you are behind that illusion..."

This time, Eren went silent. So she could see through the real looks of Eren from the moment she came out. That meant she was indeed talking about Ren Necroline and no other person.

"The person who brought you back to life... Was that person also... me?" Eren asked, as he tossed his head back, looking at the ceiling.

At this point, he was able to guess what she was going to answer.

Ren Necroline... The person who had made this entire world his enemy was a more special existence than he could ever have expected.

"You can leave. I want to be alone for some time."

Eren didn\'t even wait for her answer, telling her to leave. For now, he had a lot to think about. The information he had gathered was already too much and caused him a headache.

Yelen stood up and turned around after glancing at Eren one last time.

She left the hall and returned to the second island, where the battle had just ended. She appeared back where the remnants of the Jar were lying.

She carefully picked up the broken pieces of the Jar, her thoughts impossible to understand.

....

Eren sat in the grand hall, looking at the decorated ceiling. However, he wasn\'t in any mood to appreciate the art on the ceiling.

His fingers kept tapping on the armrest of the throne as he kept thinking about what he had just found out.

"Ren Necroline... Just what kind of existence were you? Why does it feel like you expected and prepared for my arrival?"

In the absolute silence of the throne room, only his words echoed in the silence. Unfortunately, no one was there to answer him now.
