บท 162: Letting Go of a Suspicion

'The first declaration?

'Is to not investigate... one another?'

Thales revealed a puzzled and suspicious look.

"Mystic energy is the foundation of our existence. It is also the reason why we are called Mystics.

"Never ever, ever, ever ask another Mystic about his understanding of mystic energy. Also, never expose your own understanding to any Mystic," Asda looked cold as he used three continuous "ever"s to emphasize his current stance.

"This is what it means 'to not investigate one another'."

"Mystic energy? Understanding of mystic energy?" Thales raised his eyebrows upon hearing those words. "So, that is a Mystic's weakness. Once your 'foundation and fundamentals' are discovered, you will be attacked by another Mystic?"

However, Asda only kept his icy stare steadily locked on Thales.

It lasted a good few seconds.

"What's wrong?" Under his cold stare, a sense of fear rose in Thales' heart.
