My Level Zero System Chapter 60 The cunning Magus

Below a sowhat damp and shabby prison cell. A skinny man was bound in chains made of hard tal.

This person was very dirty, his eyes were sunken, his pupils dilated because he had gotten used to the darkness here. Both his hands and feet were bound, making his posture look like he was squatting with his arms stretched forward.

Suddenly, a footstep sounded, breaking this silent atmosphere.

In front of the cell, at so point a tall man appeared.

Toris, Supervisor Toris.

Different from the care he gave to the contestants or the coldness he showed to the others, Toris was showing a completely different attitude towards the man who was being tied up.

Cold, angry, full of murderous intent.

For the past few days, Toris had been working hard to cover up the incident. It was only now that he had the chance to interrogate the person who had caused all this trouble.

"You know what?"

"The children you killed, so of them might beco my students."

"Even if the rest cannot overco this trial, the future will not abandon them."

"But you ruined it all."

"Tell everything you know and I will give you a less painful death. Otherwise, you will regret not being able to die by my hands."

Toris' voice was filled with nace. But the man showed nothing, literally.

Toris couldn't catch any expression on his face, not even contempt.

"Damn it!"

Toris couldn't help but curse inwardly. Anger and helplessness welled up in his heart.

This type of enemy is the most difficult to deal with.

Cannot use benefits to lure, can not use death to threaten,... they are like soulless rocks, only focusing on their purpose of existence.

This type of person is very rare to appear, but the odds of this type of person appearing as a high-class Magus are even rarer.

This made Toris shiver at the terrifying speculation in his mind.

But Toris still had to find the root of this.

For the honor of Kanzax Academy, for the lives lost, and for his heart to be at peace.

Toris opened the cell door, he slowly walked towards the man and placed the thumb on the middle of the man's forehead, while the rest of the hand cupped the man's head.

While this person still didn't understand what was about to happen, Toris' cold voice rang out.

"I don't know why soone who awakened [Mind Control] would accept being controlled by another…"

"But you're not the only one with rare skills, you damn arrogant!"

This ti, the man's expressionless eyes finally showed a hint of terrifyingness.

[Mind Perception].

An extrely difficult magic skill to obtain even for a Magus who has awakened [Spirit Magic].

And just like [Mind Control], [Mind Perception] also has an effect that is too effective. It is possible to "observe" the images and mories of another subject's mind.

However, if not controlled well, the results that Toris realized could be very random, even useless.

Furthermore, the opponent's mind can be permanently destroyed, so Toris rarely uses this magic skill.

But now, he has no other choice.

"Co on, show what you know…"

A picture gradually began to form in Toris' mind.

As the spiritual force probed and penetrated deeper and deeper, the picture beca clearer and clearer. Each scene, each line gradually beca clear.

At this point, the truth beca clear.

The man's body fell to the cold tile floor, lifeless.

Toris didn't notice the body. Because the body is just a puppet.

He was fooled.

The one behind this was not the corpse lying at his feet, but soone else. That mysterious person had controlled the skinny man like a puppet. Using the skinny man as bait to distract Toris.

Based on that, it can be inferred that the assassins died not because Toris captured the controller, but the controller only did so on purpose to deceive Toris into thinking that he had captured them.

An extrely cautious and clever enemy. Furthermore, to be able to deceive even his [Mind Sense], this Magus must have gone very deep into [Spirit Magic].

Toris could well imagine the mysterious man's satisfied look as they foolishly escorted a puppet away for interrogation.

If Toris didn't have the magic skill [Mind Perception], this scam would likely have been kept secret for a long ti.

Toris walked out of the prison area. Right at the entrance, he saw his assistant waiting anxiously.

"Supervisor Toris, that guy…"

"Dead."

Toris said bluntly, but this answer made the assistant scared.

"D... Dead? You…"

"No need to talk nonsense, we've been fooled."

Toris sighed, then began to explain to the assistant. This person did not doubt the authenticity of Toris' words, but what made the assistant feel terrified was that there appeared in this place soone with [Spirit Magic] even stronger than Toris.

"Looks like I can't return to the academy for now. When those three kids arrive on ti, please take them to the academy."

Several months ago, Kanzax Academy had vaguely learned that they were being targeted by one or more individuals using [Spirit Magic], and that they were high-class Magus. That was why a high-class Magus like Toris was sent on this student recruitnt mission.

In essence, it was to investigate who the culprit was.

Toris instructed the assistant, who was terrified upon hearing this.

"Master Toris, this... this matter you shouldn't be so hasty. Besides, that Magus…"

"What are you thinking? That Magus guy was able to fool my senses, so it can only be said that his technique is quite good. In a direct battle, I wouldn't necessarily lose. And I don't just have [Spirit Magic]."

Toris' words may sound rather arrogant, but it's the truth.

There are Magus with [Spirit Magic] that favor deception and concealnt, and there are Magus with [Spirit Magic] that favor direct attacks like Toris. So in a hand-to-hand battle, he has no fear of losing to the enemy.

"Besides... this is my responsibility, it's sothing I have to do. If I let others take on this responsibility, even a Master like could be in mortal danger."
