Return of the Class 8 Mage
144.

“Please enter.”

10 High-level mages have entered the Assembly room of the Ivory Tower. ‘Albert,’ one of the young witches, read out. The first item on the council's agenda was the trial of ‘Hailey Greenriver’, the imperial princess, who was trained illegally in witchcraft.

“This way.”

The Ivory Tower was not an institution to process imperial legal matters. There were no interrogations, confinements, or even any complicated processes. There was only the revelation of truth or falsehood through the cooperative inquisition magic of high-level magicians.

“Please sit in the middle seat, Your Majesty, and all of you relevant in this case can take your seat in the back.”

Following the instructions of Albert, Hailey's daughter Kevin, a palace mage, who illegally trains her in magic, and the princess' servant girls who are like her friends, have all taken their designated seats.

“Good. Now...”

“Wait.”

Ian cut Albert off as he stood up from his seat. Then he walked towards Kevin and the servant girls and sat down between them. Ian spoke in a dry voice as no one understood Ian's intentions.

“I am also relevant in the accusations against the princess. I should not be allowed to participate in the trial process. I will ask Sir Ronan and Sir Deckard to preside over the trial in my place.”

It was a sudden confession by Ian.

Ronan, a high-level mage, asked.

“What, What do you mean?”

“I was also guilty of teaching magic to the princess.”

The faces of the high-level mages became even darker after hearing such a thing all of a sudden. Although the whole story had to be heard, the fact that they heard the confession itself, was a confusing situation. Simply put, the situation will be put in the following context.

‘He wants us to judge the Ruler of Ivory Tower?’

It would be quite difficult even for an ordinary Tower Lord of the Ivory Tower.

Worse, he wants us to bring Ian Page to justice?

After all, he has reached the magic level, which makes us all wonder, if he is even human, he even traveled with the white dragon.

Put such an entity before us and do a test run?

Can a verdict be competently reached?

The interrogation magic won't even work.

It was because Ian would easily neutralize such magic.

‘Does he say it knowing this or not?’

The high-ranking mages only wanted to know if this young Tower Master from the Ivory Tower, who was standing in front of them, said such a thing because he really did not know any better or not. By only assessing the situation based on its age, the first case will be very likely, but then based on all the actions witnessed, the last case seems more likely to occur.

“Ehem!”

After observing the dynamics of the high-level witches, Deckard, the most senior member of the Ivory Tower, cleared his throat and spoke in his old voice. He thought that it was time for him to take control of this kind of situation.

“Tuanku. As you know, the Ivory Tower trial is entirely dependent on the cooperative interrogation magic of high-level magicians.

“Yes, I know it like that.”

“However, My Lord, your case is different. Although I did not know it for sure in my old age, I can guess that you will be able to neutralize the interrogation magic quite easily. Of course, I'm not insinuating that you did it on purpose. ”

It was not necessarily because he was not afraid because of his old age. After all, it was Ian Page, not the usual ruler of the Ivory Tower tower, whom he had to face?

But he got up to continue. Deckard did not age or spend his long life in vain.

“I understand what you mean. I haven't thought that far. As a distant junior member, I will remember it as a well-learned lesson.”

Ian politely replied. Whether it was in his past or in his present life, Deckard had always been a model witch. Although he was not the greatest of all characters, he was an elder who was of course highly respected.

“I believe that I can definitely neutralize the cooperative interrogation magic that you are talking about. Although I have no such intention, I also have no way to prove it. Hmm, how it should be handled ...”

Ian fell into deep thought as he massaged his chin.

Perhaps, he was just pretending to show that he was in trouble.

“Well, it makes no sense to hear the whole story first?”

Ronan, a high-level mage, spoke at that moment.
