Mole
After the lecture, Eliana walked in the lobby, headed to Stefan's office. What happened to Ceriyan Strowale? It seems he has changed. I can't believe this; he is equal to me in the ranking of today's test. Eliana said in his mind.
As Eliana walks, she sees Alina Rosvel leaving the Stefan office. She calls her name. 'Alina, oh, Eliana, you are here. I came to you to discuss which club you intend to join,' Alina says to Eliana as soon as she sees her.
Ooh, I am thinking of joining the history research club. Eliana said Alina is making a weird face. What happened? Alina Eliana asked
No one has joined the history research club for 2 years now. I am afraid to say that club has fallen; no one has interest in that club. Alina said in a tense voice.
Eliana smiled and said, 'Oh, come on, if we joined the history research club, we'd have so much fun searching about history and its unsolved mysteries.' Eliana continued and said
For example, there is a club in our academy that does research about relics. There is a large number of students who are not interested in research about relics, so does that mean the club has fallen? No, you must do things you have an interest in, as Eliana said to Alina.
A man clashes with her. And both Eliana and that man fall to the floor. As he gets up, he says to Eliana, 'Ooh, sorry, my lady. I made a mistake. I don't intend to harm you.' Light brown eyes and light black hair, wearing a coat and white glasses, looking at him, he is currently in his mid-30s.
Eliana recognised him and said, 'Sir Hadrian, don't mind it.'
Hadrian, librarian in Blackell Academy
Inside Stefan's office
'What is this noise coming from?' he said in his mind as he got up and saw Eliana and Alina and asked, 'What are you doing here causing noise?' Stefan said, 'Ooh, Professor, we were just leaving.' Alina said, 'So leave immediately,' Stefan said.
Wait, who is this man? Stefan saw Librarian Hadrian and said in his mind, and remembered something; a flashback popped up. In his head conversation with Leveon, it is possible, Leveon, that the Church of the Broken Saint sent a spy into the Academy. I don't think that would be the case, Stefan, but it is not impossible.
He seems suspicious as Stefan approaches librarian Hadrian and says, 'Ooh, gentleman, who are you? Is there any business you have in the academy? May I help you?' Stefan said politely to Hadrian,
Ooh, you must be the star-class star instructor, Stefan, wellmate. I am Hadrian. I am a librarian here. Stefan, in his mind, is thinking, 'So he is a librarian here, but he didn't seem like one. His eyes are like an experienced killer's; his glasses are like a tool to hide his real eyes.'
And his body language seems to be that of an experienced spy or mole. I need to confirm it.
It's nice to meet you, Sir Hadrian. I am enrolled this year as a star instructor. This is my first year here and yours. 'I was here during fall last year,' Hadrian said as Stefan offered his hand. They both shook hands with each other.
If Stefan is thinking he's wearing a fake skin in his hand here during fall last year, then he must be a mole. I got you this skill; mine is very useful as usual.
A normal person couldn't tell the difference between real skin and fake just by looking at it like Sylara Frostwil, but I am not normal. I change my hand, face, and leg skin so many times that now I don't want it, but I can tell the difference between fake and real skin.
Stefan smiles and says, Ooh, Sir Hadrian, do you have a book related to the history of the empire in the library? 'I have', Hadrian said, 'so let's talk in my office. I have so many books I need; I can tell you the list.' Hadrian seems a bit anxious, but he agrees.
Inside Stefan's office
What books did you want? Professor Hadrian asked about the book related to the journey of a mole who infiltrates the Blackell Magic Academy. I didn't get it. 'What do you mean by that?' Professor Hadrian said in a tense voice.
Stefan stood up from his seat and said coldly, The Church of the Broken Saint sent you to tell me who is going to attack in the Magusveil magic tournament.
I already cast the sound termination spell within the area, so no one heard your screams. Hadrian trembled in fear as Stefan tied him with the mana chains and said, 'Answer my question. Open your mouth.'
A symbol of Presit appeared in the Hadrian tongue, so he cast a seal. Stefan said coldly as blood spilt from Hadrian's mouth. Stefan, with a different aura, said in a slow voice, 'Mana void,' as silence swallowed the room. The air collapsed.
The lights died, all mana vanished, and the Hadrian seal cracked as it struggled to survive; veins grew faintly.
Stefan's eyes turned into silver.
Inside the mana void
'Now speak,' Stefan said coldly to Hadrian. 'They are going to send the three priests.' 'One of the five sage priests,' Hadrian said trembling. 'Name?' Stefan said coldly to Hadrian. As Hadrian said, the blood spilling from his mouth made Stefan think so he set a boundary by using authority.
Authority
A high-level technique which allows a mage to set a certain boundary on the movements of an individual; for example, he cast a seal in Hadrian's mouth, then I broke the seal using mana void, but he also used authority on him to set a certain boundary on his mouth.
I guess I cannot get any information. Stefan calls the headmaster and explains skipping the whole interrogation to Hadrian, and then the academy hands over Hadrian to imperial mage cops.
Inside Stefan's office
Someone's knocks came in. Stefan said it is none other than Professor Alina. We decided to join the history research club. This is the list of members, Stefan thought.
Eliana Falric Alina Rosvel, Ceriyan Strowale and Eldric Wynterfell of the History Research Club – this rings a bell here. Stefan said
The Magusveil magic tournament finally starts next week. I need to prepare very well, Stefan said in his mind.
