\'Right on time.\'

As a screen appeared before Eren, his gaze shifted. Just as he expected, at important crossroads, options appeared before him.

This just confirmed his assumption. If he did not play his cards right, he might die here. But the rewards were also lucrative this time.

[Option One: The person in front of you is looking down on you. As a Conqueror, you can\'t let anyone look down on you. Uphold your dignity and kill the man.

Reward: A Mystery Box]

[Option Two: You know that you are in a dangerous situation. But you still haven\'t forgotten your responsibility as a man. Surrender the knife and your life, in exchange for Xiu Ying\'s safety.

Reward: Mask of Disguise]

[Option Three: A wise man is someone who knows how to handle a complicated situation without suffering any losses.

Find a way to avoid the battle with Astral while making sure that the Knife stays with you.

Reward: Cultivation Unseal Voucher x2 (Temporary)]

[Option Four: Your life is most important for you. Have Xiu Ying fight the man while you run away!

Reward: Thousand Mile Escape Talisman]

Eren went through the options and soon found one that matched with his plan. If it worked, he could receive a very special reward, without having to do anything extra.

The first option was truly foolish in his eyes. He could not kill Astral who used space. He was truly like an impossible to kill insect.

Even if he somehow achieved that goal, the other Heroes were going to attack them.

If the reward of the first option was an escape Talisman, he might have considered it.

Unfortunately, the reward of Escape Talisman came in the fourth option. For that, he had to leave Xiu Ying to die. He could not let her die for this, especially when he had another method.

Similarly, the second choice was also foolish. If he gave the knife away, there was no way they were going to be left alive.

He could not accept that he had the knife. What was he going to do with a mask of disguise if he was dead?

For him, there was only one option that made sense for him, under his current situation. It was what he was already planning.

\'I will take the third option.\' He selected an option.

[Please complete the option to be rewarded]

The screen changed before it completely disappeared.

The reward for the third option was confusing. He had a rough idea about what that reward did, but he was not sure.

He still had not forgotten the time when he checked his stats. It showed his Cultivation as sealed. There was a lot of mystery surrounding it.

He did not even know why it was sealed. Was it because the soul in the body had changed? Or was it sealed before he even came here?

He did not know the right answer, but he had a feeling that these talismans could help him understand Ren more.

In any case, it was a temporary reward.

Even if everything worked as he wanted, and he was able to remove the seal on his Cultivation, he did not know how strong it was in the first place.

If his sealed Cultivation was weak in the first place, it was a useless reward. And if it was strong, then the reward became a lot better.

Still, even then, a talisman could only remove the seal temporarily from what he understood.

"What thing? Are you referring to money? Are you robbers?" Eren innocently questioned Astral, though his tone did not reflect fear of robbers.

Instead, his eyes remained calm and composed as he locked gazes with Astral.

Astral was taken aback by Eren\'s response. Typically, people would be intimidated by him solely based on his identity.

It seemed impossible for these people to be unaware of his identity, especially since they were from the Demon Sect.

In the Hero Academy, there were portraits of all Powerhouses of the Eastern Continent, so that the Heroes could recognise them if they ever came across them.

Even as Xiu Ying\'s face was hidden by a veil, he recognised her as the Great Elder of the Demon Sect. Since the man was accompanying her, his identity was not simple either.

It was impossible for them to not recognise him from his clothes alone. So why was Eren so unfazed?

Surprised, Astral glanced down at his attire, confirming that he was indeed dressed as the vice principal of Hero Academy.

"I have already spent all my money on cakes," Eren gestured towards the empty cake boxes. "If you\'re looking to rob someone, why not try the room next door? I bet the baldy staying there is quite wealthy."

"Enough of this nonsense!" Astral exclaimed, taking a step forward with an authoritative air. "Hand over what the girl gave you!"

"I have no idea what girl you are talking about. But if you still don\'t believe me, why don\'t you check my storage ring?"

Eren brought a ring out of his pocket, that he had cleverly prepared in advance. He tossed the ring to Astral.

Astral caught the ring, thinking it was just an ordinary storage ring. But the moment he looked at the ring, his face was filled with surprise.

"This... How do you have it?"

It was not an ordinary storage ring. Almost everyone in the Hero Academy knew about these rings, as they were handed over by the Dean herself.

Astral was taken aback. Eren stepped forward and whispered in his ears. "I am undercover for the Academy. I\'m sure the ring is enough to prove my identity."

"I don\'t know what you are looking for, but I can guarantee that I don\'t have it. If I had something that could help the Academy, it would have been my honor to hand it over."

"As for the dead girl, I did see her running last night. I clashed with her, but that was all the contact I had with her."

Eren took the ring back from him and kept it back in his pocket, trying his best to make sure that no one else saw the ring from close.

Astral went silent. The ring was definitely enough to prove his identity. It also did not make sense for someone to betray Mist. That person would have to be a fool to even think about betraying that monster.

\'Was it truly a coincidence that the thread led to him? Dammit, then where is the knife?!\'

"Fine. You can leave." After a long pause, Astral stated.

As soon as Astral finished, a notification appeared before him.

[You have completed the Option]

[You have been rewarded with two Cultivation Unseal Talismans]

Eren sighed in relief, but his expressions soon turned dark.

"And where do you think you are going?"

He extended his arm, firmly placing his hand on Astral\'s chest, preventing him from taking another step forward.

"I told you that you are free to go. You are a valuable asset to the Academy. However, that woman cannot be allowed to leave. She must be eliminated, or that guy will never stop yelling in my head."
