The fox-masked man's claim that even a rank nine supreme magus couldn't see through it was, of course, a boast. However, he did not lie about the rest of it. The Mystic Lock magic array was indeed his masterpiece. It wasn't of a high rank, but its effects were outstanding. What was even rarer was that the magic array itself had considerable anti-detection capabilities. Even when it was activated, the magical fluctuations it emitted were extremely weak. In this aspect, it was even better than the anti-cheating magics that Siamos Academy had spent a lot of money to purchase. It was almost impossible for magicians below the seventh grade to perceive the existence of this magic array in advance.
This was also the reason why the fox-masked man dared to boast. However, this time, he did not expect to be slapped in the face at the speed of light so soon after he finished speaking. Even though he was thick-skinned enough, he could not help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, he had been bragging in front of Loyce for a long time about how sharp and hidden his magic array was. In the end, it was discovered in less than two minutes. Moreover, the other party clearly saw how powerful it was, but he did not have the slightest intention of retreating. Instead, he touched the edge of the magic array and began to carefully probe it. This made the fox-masked man feel provoked.
At this moment, Loyce also saw the peculiarity of the guy in the crystal ball. He did not mock the fox-masked man anymore. Instead, he worriedly said, "This … could it be that a top expert has infiltrated this year's freshmen?"
The fox-masked man shook his head. "The possibility is very small. There are some things that even Foreman does not know. There is a very powerful magic array beneath Siamos Academy. If an expert above the sixth grade appears, I will immediately receive a warning from the magic array as soon as he steps into the academy. Of course, with the rapid development of magic nowadays, there are all kinds of new gadgets emerging one after another. If someone can make a tool that can deceive the magic array, I wouldn't be too surprised. However, this guy doesn't belong to this kind of situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to use such a dangerous method to probe my magic array. He could just use brute force to break the array and destroy its base."
The female archer breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. "In other words, even if this guy is powerful, his strength is very limited. Then I can rest assured."
"No, I mean this guy is even more terrifying. What he has shown now, including perception, insight, and courage, is not what someone of his level should have. Strange, this guy shouldn't be unknown." The fox-masked man rubbed his chin, his eyes constantly darting around. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Could it be an expert secretly nurtured by the Heresy Court? Those guys in the dark have always liked to hide. Haven't we been able to find those annoying guys until now? Or it could be a spy set up by the Sorcerers Association. They're just as interested in you as the guys from the Temple of Light. It's possible that they've put up a pair of twins to attract attention, but it's also possible that they have a trump card in the dark. "
"Hmm, your conjecture makes sense, but my intuition tells me that the answer is not in it. I keep feeling like I'm missing something." The fox masked man said as he deliberately lifted the legs of the stool, leaving only a fulcrum to spin under his buttocks.
Louisa had long been accustomed to her teacher's childish behavior from time to time. Usually, at this time, the girl would directly ignore him. However, this time, because the guy in the cloak was still staggering on the side, the female archer could not help but remind him, "Hey, aren't you worried that your magic array will be broken by others?"
However, after a short period of surprise, the fox masked man quickly recovered his previous confident look. He patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, discovering a magic array and breaking it are completely different things. I'm not bragging, although the Mystic Lock is only a third-grade magic array, its complexity has long surpassed most of the known high-grade magic arrays. Let alone half a night, even if you give him three days and three nights, he still won't be able to break it."
Unfortunately, the female archer did not cooperate. "If I remember correctly, teacher, you seem to have bragged once." The fox masked man did not blush at all.
The fox masked man did not blush at all. "This time it's different. My Mystic Lock is unique. When I designed it, I didn't use Roland's set at all. In other words, this magic array can't be explained by the existing theoretical framework. Hehe, this guy is a typical example of being too clever for his own good. Relying on his little cleverness, he tried to piece together the operating rules of this magic array by relying on some of the corners he spied. As a result, he can only trap himself in a cocoon. When he feels that he has almost mastered it, he will be lost in the Mystic Lock."
Not long after the fox masked man finished speaking, Louisa saw the cloaked guy stop again. He closed his eyes and stood quietly in the same place for a full quarter of an hour, as if he was calculating something in his heart. After that, he carefully took a step toward the shore of the lake and looked around. Nothing happened. The cloaked guy was happy and took another step forward. Unfortunately, his figure was instantly engulfed by the sudden thick fog.
"Wow, it's rare for teacher to be so reliable." Although Louisa would often tear down the fox masked man's stage, she would not be stingy with her praise. Especially in her heart, she had always admired the man's knowledge and wisdom.
Louisa had been accepted as a disciple by the fox-masked man long before she entered Siames. Louisa's main goal was to nurture her ability to gather information. Today, she had long since become a first-class contact person. However, the female archer knew that compared to the person in front of her, the so-called information she possessed was not even worth mentioning.
The eyes under the mask seemed to be able to see through all the secrets in the world. However, such a person had a childish personality like that of a child. This was a very contradictory feeling. However, the man she called teacher was a collection of contradictions.
According to her understanding of a certain person, it was rare for the prophecy to be so accurate this time. The guy in front of her should have been cocky long ago. However, this time, the fox masked man only scratched his head, and there was a trace of confusion in his voice.
"Strange, based on the level he showed before, he shouldn't have fallen into it so quickly."
The female archer rolled her eyes and was a little speechless. "So teacher, do you think he should fall into it or not?"
"It's only a matter of time before he falls into the trap. After all, I created this magic array myself. Hmph, there's no one in this world who can break my Mystic Lock in such a short time, but …" Before he could finish his sentence, the fox masked man's old habit came back and he began to brag about himself. However, he did not forget to add, "But I have to admit that the guy is quite powerful. Although I don't think he can break my magic array, at least he shouldn't have died so quickly."
