190 Soul Arts and Celestial Fragmen (1/2)

Wallace was startled after hearing Miss Chamber speak.

'That's not fair...'

He was definitely feeling some sort of attraction towards this lady. It was a weird sensation since part of his mind was trying to deny it.

”I was told to come here. May I ask the reason why?” Wallace reigned in his thoughts as he asked the instructor.

”Are you not aware?”

”No... Uhmm... I have to get home early, Instructor. Can I leave now?” He wanted to leave as fast as possible as he sensed something was not right.

Wallace thought for a moment, the lady had called him ”5th Apprentice” just now. Since she was aware of his identity, she must be aware of her limitations.

Although he felt that this lady was powerful than him in terms of unusual method of domination, she shouldn't be thinking of harming him.

After reaching this thought, Wallace relaxed for a little.

”Not yet. Can you show me what Mana Artifacts you have with you?”

”I didn't bring any. Also, it's not allowed to bring one in the academy. We only use artifacts provided by the school if necessary.”

”Is that so? Then, how did you do it?” Miss Chamber's tone changed for a bit. Wallace noticed that she was getting more serious.

”Did what?”

”Well, someone peeked at the Special Training Room this morning. I wonder who that is?”

After Miss Chamber said these words, her iris became completely black turning into a void as if sucking Wallace's soul.

”...”

For some inexplicable reason, Wallace couldn't say his readied words of lie.

The instructor continued...

”That Special Training Room has three layers of defense against any probing related skills. Even someone who had achieved a high attainment at Soul Carnage would not be capable of doing that in a swift manner... You don't have to hide anything from me... Tell me, who did it?... Tell me everything you know...”

Miss Chamber's last words kept repeating in his head. It feels like she wasn't asking the physical Wallace but his soul. It was an absurd feeling. Unfortunately, Wallace was helpless at this.

There's nothing he can do to stop this act of interrogation. Obviously, his Fervor Timepiece was not enough to protect him this time.

It was really an accident, his Divine Sense was like an activation of a powerful radar that could cover his surroundings. Even if he focus to a certain direction, it doesn't mean that his Divine Sense was disappearing in other places, it was only weakening in some part.

What happened this morning was a mistake. He instead strengthened the intensity of his Divine Sense and it lacked some control. It normally wouldn't cause some problem to him until this unholy Soul Art users came in.

As he was about to spill everything he knew, a cold breeze brushed away the feeling of getting sucked into the void.

They immediately looked at the door's direction.

There was now another person within the room without their notice, or at least without Wallace's knowledge.

”Headmaster...” Wallace felt relieved seeing Percival. He was a kind but cunning man who was sure to help him if he followed his orders. He had given him an advice prior to TMAC and he even arranged Yumi together with two bodyguards, Max and Lucian, to accompany him at Montego.

”Miss Chamber... I thought that we already agreed on this. It's prohibited to use Soul Arts to students other than those under your curriculum...”

”Sir Percival...” Miss Chamber felt a bit embarrassed being caught by surprise. The headmaster was her superior and more than that, Percival was stronger than her. He called Wallace here at the Tier 1 Training Room since it has a stronger defense system than the Special Training Room where Wallace peeked at. This was to make sure that their conversation today would not leak out.

First, she doesn't want other trainees or students learn that a young man, a student at that, was capable of peeking at them anywhere within the academy. It would question the academy's integrity and power.

Next, it would cause panic as their privacy would be in shambles.

The idol trainees were trained to deal with the people in media, fans, supporters, and alike. In regards with this, they were taught about the consequences of being popular and one of them was having a little privacy in life as many eyes would be on them. But this act of peeking at them without their knowledge would be a huge impact in their morale.

The Soul Art wasn't just taught to them to add some charms on their performances, it was also taught to protect themselves from any probing-related magic skills.
