Chapter 1247
While the ancient artifact Veil of Truth wasn’t widely known, even within the Central Academy, those who needed to know, knew of it well.
Shaped like a small set of weighing scales, the artifact carried no noble symbolism. In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a suicidal artifact.
Resembling a long, thin strip of fabric, the Veil of Truth looked like nothing more than a mana-infused cloth at first glance. Once activated, it’d twist into the form of two scales on its own.
“You can’t! The Veil of Truth?! Even if there are suspicions strong enough to hold a hearing, using that is no different from suicide!” shouted Professor Ryuda, representing the Seven Star Professors and other faculty.
“I have no other way to prove my innocence,” Mit insisted.
“Student Mit Chyde! If this goes wrong, you’ll die!”
He calmly replied, “I know. That’s why I became a 3rd Circle mage.”
“Just because you reached the 3rd Circle doesn’t mean you’ve mastered every truth that comes with it! You do understand that the Veil of Truth demands your life in exchange for lying, don’t you?”
As Professor Ryuda explained, the student council president stared at Mit in shock as well.
“And if I walk away here, do you think House Chyde has any future left?”
Professor Ryuda had nothing to say to that.
“Bring the Veil of Truth.” After a long pause, the presiding senior professor had finally given the order.
