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

Chapter 15: I select...

Eren scratched the back of his head as the realization struck him.

He had thought that the unique grade reward was going to be special that could help him get stronger, but at the end of it all, it turned out to be just a bluff skill.

What was he going to do with a bluff skill? Toss it at the Demon Sect Master's face when she came to kill him?

"You're so kind, my dear system," he sarcastically stated.

Although he was disappointed, he knew he had to do the best with what he received.

Although the Sword Emperor's Aura couldn't help him in an actual battle, but from the reaction of the other Elders, he could see that the bluff effect wasn't bad.

He thought that maybe he could actually survive if he bluffed his way out of problems.

He wanted to test his theory. He couldn't feel his own aura, so he wanted to see if it was enough to intimidate the other Elders.

Although it was risky, he tried it.

"Are you telling me what I should be doing?" he asked, his eyes coldly staring at Elder Li on the ground.

Elder Li didn't know how strong this guy actually was. He was selected by the Sect Master who had assigned him the position of an Elder. But from his aura, he felt that this guy could be dangerous.

Although Elder Li didn't know if Eren was strong enough to defeat him, but he didn't want to test it.

If they fought amongst each other, the Sect Master was going to get involved. Elder Li was scared the most of the Sect Master of Demon Sect. The last thing he wanted was to have her come here.

"I certainly can't tell you what to do," Elder Li replied, folding his arms around his chest. "If you want to stay there, it's your wish."

Eren nodded. "In that case, we can begin."

He was slightly pleased to know that the effect of his passive bluff skill was quite good. In fact, it was better than his expectations.

As long as he didn't expose his weakness, he might change the future and survive.

....

The Sect Entrance Exam was the most important event for the youngsters who wanted to join the Demon Sect.

The test was personally witnessed by three Elders of the Sect. Every year, the three Elders responsible for the exams were different.

No one knew which three Elders were going to be selected next year. But even though three Elders were the observers, it didn't mean only they could be selected by the disciples.

It just meant that the three Elders were the judges who gave scores to the disciples. And on the basis of that score, the participants were ranked.

Once the ranking was completed, all the disciples who received more than ten percent in the Elders' Scores were selected as the new Outer Disciples of the Sect.

Those who received more than thirty percent as their score were selected as the new Inner Sect Disciple. As for the ones who received more than fifty percent... There were none.

From the beginning of time, no one had received more than fifty percent in the Trial Score.

The top five scorers had an additional privilege. They were selected by the Elders of the Sect!

Only after the ranking was completed, the scores of the top five were sent to all the Elders in the sect, along with the recordings of their exam performance.

Based on those scores and the recordings, all the Elders could decide who they wanted as their disciple.

An elder could only select one disciple as their choice. And if that disciple was selected by more than one Elder, it was the disciple's choice which of those Elders he wanted as his master.

The top ranker had an additional advantage. Irrespective of the Elders who selected him or not, he could select any one Elder as his Master.

That was why many people hoped to take the top rank in the exam, so they could study under the strongest Elders.

Once all three Elders were here, it was time for the Sect Entrance Trials to begin.

The Trials had two parts. The first part was where the disciples showed their skills in actual battles.

All the disciples were divided in groups of two. And each group had to fight another group they were paired with.

The group that lost wasn't eliminated, but their performance in the battle did affect their scores.

This way, there were over a hundred battles. And each participant recieved an opportunity to show their fighting prowess.

Eren didn't pay much attention to these battles as he had already read the results of the main battles in the book.

The best performing team in the exams was the team in which the Main Character and the Six Star Talent were paired together.

Most people had thought that the main character was lucky to be paired with the girl who was a six star talent. They thought he was going to win without even having to fight.

But at the end of it, the Main Character surprised everyone with his performance. He didn't fall behind the six star talent. If anything, he defeated his opponent before the Six Star talent did.

His performance shocked quite a few people. Even Elder Zhang Wei and Elder Li paid quite a lot of attention to him.

"Of course he wins." Eren rolled his eyes, seeing the battle finish.

Although he didn't like the main character because this guy was going to kill him in the future, it was still fascinating to see the battle he had only read in words actually become reality.

Once the first stage of the battle was complete, the teams were broken again.

Soon began the next stage. A stage in which the disciples had to actually fight an Elder that they selected.

Amongst the three who were present here, they could select anyone.

Of course it was impossible for the youngsters to win, but it was just a way to have them show their battle skills when facing an enemy that they had no chance of winning.

This way, the Elders could judge them better. It was also a way for the Elders to humble the youngsters and make them realize that they had a long journey ahead.

It was also an opportunity for the youngsters to directly interact with the Elders who they wanted to impress.

Eren knew that this was a stage in which Elder Ren wasn't selected. So he was quite relaxed.

From what he had read in the story, everyone selected Elder Zhang or Elder Li. They were the famous Elders that everyone wanted to impress after all.

For Eren, that was the best thing to happen. He didn't want to have to fight a youngster and have his bluff called out.

The second trial began, and continued just as Eren had expected.

The Six Star Talent chose Elder Zhang Wei as an opponent to fight. She couldn't even get close to Zhang Wei, but her performance wasn't bad.

Even though she passed out, she gave it her all.

Over an hour passed and youngsters kept challenging Elder Li or Elder Zhang.

Soon, it was finally the turn of the Main Character.

Eren paid attention to this battle as the main character had chosen Elder Li in the book.

It was also the first time the main character was brutally thrashed. However, he also received the best score out of everyone, eventually taking the top rank in the Exams.

"Who do you want to challenge?" Zhang Wei asked Ye Liang.

"Is there even a need to ask? He's selecting Elder Li." Eren thought, but didn't say out loud.

However, as he heard Ye Liang's response, his expressions darkened.

"I select Elder Ren," Ye Liang said.

"You motherf-" Eren almost cursed out loud.
