Chương 235: Finding Out

"Your tricks might fool everyone else, but you forget that I am only a half-step away from being a 6th Circle Mage. Did you think you can hide your magic from me?" 

His words made Leo's heart clench. He started thinking about how to escape. One thing he could try would be to take a hostage. But that` was still risky since it might infuriate the Head Master. Another possible escape would be to hide himself using Valkyr's Deception, but his mastery wasn't enough to fool a Peak-Stage 5th Circle Mage like the Head Master.

"You are thinking too much. Do not worry about what I will do to you. I am not your enemy, only a person who means well," Alfred said.

"What do you want from me then?" Leo said with his guard on.

"Nothing that you can give me immediately. I need the help of a 6th Circle Mage, and you aren't at that stage yet. But I think it's only a matter of time before you get there."
