My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 614: You should worry
The attacker crashed against the tunnel wall, the impact causing a tremor that resonated through the narrow passage. Dust and small rocks rained down Eren pushed himself up. He hadn't expected such a strong defense.
"Hmm? Who are you?" the man asked Eren, looking at him weirdly. He had thought that the person who attacked him was going to be someone that worked for the Primordials, or at least a person from hell.
Strangely enough, the person was none. He was an outsider, something that was noticeable right away.
"They sent a slave after me?" The man didn't know why, but he found it somewhat insulting. The person that had managed to follow him stealthily, wasn't even some strong existence from hell, but a mere human that was probably treated as a slave by people of this world?
"Does it matter who I am?" Eren patted his clothes, jumping off the rubble. His chance of taking the man out in a single attack had already gone down the drain.
He was sure that it was only a matter of time since the friends of this man would get here, to help him. At the same time, the Primordials were also going to sense a commotion if he fought now.
"Can you give me that portal stone?" he asked. "It's really important for me."
The man frowned, and was just about to speak when his watch buzzed, "What is that commotion that I heard? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. It just looks like a rat managed to follow me. I will deal with the rat fast, and get back to you," the man answered.
"Don't take too long," the woman answered, not even trying to offer help as if she had complete faith in the man's ability. If he didn't ask her for help, it made her believe that it was something that he could handle on his own.
"Yeah, yeah. Stop nagging! Even I don't want to fail the test because of a little rat," the young man answered, before he tapped his watch, making it go silent.
He shifted his attention back to Eren, and asked, "You're right. Your identity doesn't matter. If you managed to follow me, then you're probably not half bad. If I let you leave, then you might create more trouble for me."
"Hence, I will have to silence you here." He snapped his fingers, making his watch shine brightly. A barrier was enacted, with his watch at the core, surrounding upto thousands feet around them.
"If you were thinking that our battle could attract the Primordials to this place, saving your life, then you should drop that useless thought. Nothing we do here will affect things outside the barrier."
"Even if you start banging your head against the wall, nothing will change for you." The man clenched his fist. His words were issued in the form of a reminder, but it was more like a warning to make Eren drop all his hopes and fall into despair.
"Hmm? What did you say?" Instead of making Eren fall in despair, the words made his eyes light up.
Eren was even wondering if the man was really trying to threaten him? In that case, why was he delivering one good news after the other?
He had already told his friends to not come here, silencing communication. As if it was not enough, he even cast a barrier, sealing the surroundings from his own side.
"Should I thank you for that?" Eren asked, taking off his robe. He tossed the robe in his storage ring, and raised his sleeves.
He also cast a barrier of his own, sealing the surroundings even further, removing the connection from this place from the rest of the world.
If it was just one barrier, he couldn't be certain about its efficiency, but with the help of the man's barrier, things had become more certain for him.
"You're either a little too confident, or a complete fool. But it doesn't matter. No one is coming to help you this time!" The man moved, his figure completely disappeared, leaving only a small rise of dust where he was previously standing.
A gauntlet materialised in his hand, as he appeared before Eren.
"When did I say I needed someone to come help me?" Eren asked, tilting his head sideways as he grabbed the fist of the young man, only being pushed back by a few steps.
He wasn't as strong as the Primordials, but it didn't mean he was weak in this world. Moreover, he had already seen the stats of the man. Most of his stats were even lower than Estelia.
The only things that were troublesome about him were these strange tricks that weren't a part of his own strength. He relied on the artefacts that could even affect the Primordials. Fortunately, it looked like those things were mainly with the girl that was already sent away.

"You should worry about who will come to help you," Eren answered, as dragon scales materialised around his fist. Draconian Wings spread from his back, tearing off his shirt, while horns came from his forehead.

"What is taking him so long? Why isn't he back? We might miss the deadline!" In another place, two people were waiting near an altar that seemed to have been properly arranged.
"He will be back on time. Don't forget that he needs it more than us." The woman told the chubby man, who was sitting next to the altar.
"If you are that confident, then why do you seem just as nervous as me? You know that we are already running late. If we are even a single second late in returning, we might fail altogether. We will never get a second chance either."
The chubby man didn't appear to be calm in the slightest. He didn't even want to imagine a scenario where they would fail, but he couldn't help himself.
"He is always so full of himself. If he is late, I will thrash him myself!" He exclaimed, but just as he finished, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching them.
