They escorted the student to the interrogation room, preparing for further questioning. Delina Reba silently followed behind Dean Bruce, her eyes betraying a complex mix of emotions.
...
Inside the interrogation room, the light was dim, and the atmosphere was oppressive.
The student was bound to a chair, his face pale, and his eyes filled with fear.
Dean Bruce sat across from him, his expression cold. "Speak. Tell us everything you know."
The student trembled as he spoke, "I... I really only know this much... They just had me pass along some messages... I don't know the specifics of their plans..."
"You better be honest with us," Dean Bruce threatened, his voice firm. "Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."
The student shook in terror. "I... I'm not lying... They just told me to report back if something happens... I really don't know anything else..."
Dean Bruce frowned. It seemed that they wouldn't get any more information from this student. He gestured for Krupp to take the student away.
"Master, what do we do now?" Prolo Hawthorne asked.
"Keep strengthening the academy's security and keep an eye on any suspicious individuals inside," Dean Bruce replied. "And Delina Reba... we need to be cautious around her too."
"You think she might be involved?" Prolo Hawthorne asked, surprised.
"We can't say for sure yet," Dean Bruce shook his head. "But her background is unclear, and her behavior is strange. We can't afford to be careless."
As they were talking, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the hallway. The principal hurried into the interrogation room.
"Dean, I heard you captured an undercover agent?" the principal asked.
"Yes, Principal," Dean Bruce nodded. "But he's just a small player. He doesn't know much."
"That's still good," the principal said. "At least we've removed one threat. How's the situation at the academy?"
"Stable for now, but we must remain vigilant," Dean Bruce replied.
"Exactly. We can't let the Black Hole Organization find any opportunities," the principal said, his expression serious. "Continue with the security upgrades, and keep me informed of any developments."
"Yes, Principal," Dean Bruce nodded.
The principal gave a few more instructions before leaving in a hurry.
Dean Bruce watched the principal's retreating figure, his mind already working on the next steps.
"Master, what should we do now?" Prolo Hawthorne asked.
"Keep strengthening security, and interrogate the undercover agent again to see if we can extract more information," Dean Bruce said. "Also, keep an eye on Delina Reba's movements. She could be a key figure."
"Understood," Prolo Hawthorne nodded.
They continued to stay busy, working diligently for the safety of the academy. Meanwhile, Delina Reba, as usual, silently followed behind Dean Bruce, her eyes betraying a subtle, enigmatic glint.
The system gave him one without hesitation.
Dean Bruce blinked in surprise. Wasn't this "Two Tigers" by Andy Lau?
Was this really a spell?
"System, are you out of your mind?" Dean Bruce grumbled.
"The system does not make mistakes. Please feel free to use it, host." The system replied mechanically.
Dean Bruce, feeling helpless, could only force himself to respond to Alice, "Alright, since you're so eager to learn, I'll teach you a simple spell. But this spell requires a specific set of movements. You'll need to focus and practice carefully."
Alice's eyes lit up, and she eagerly nodded. "Yes, Teacher, I'll make sure to learn it properly!"
Dean Bruce cleared his throat and began to chant the "spell":
"Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast, one has no eyes, one has no tail, how strange, how strange."
After finishing the chant, Dean Bruce began to demonstrate the actions. He mimicked the way a tiger runs, pretending that one of his eyes was blind and one of his tails was missing, acting out a comical, exaggerated movement.
Alice blinked in confusion, but she still followed along with Dean Bruce's instructions. Though she found it a bit odd, her trust in her teacher made her mimic each action earnestly.
Once they had finished, Dean Bruce asked, "So, Alice, did you learn it?"
Alice nodded, a little puzzled but still responding, "Yes, Teacher."
Dean Bruce smiled. "Very good. Now, I'd like you to do it on your own, and show me."
Alice began to repeat the odd movement, chanting the spell as she did: "Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast, one has no eyes, one has no tail, how strange, how strange."
When she was done, she looked at Dean Bruce, eagerly awaiting his feedback.
Dean Bruce struggled to hold back his laughter, but kept a serious expression. "Hmm, not bad, Alice. You did very well. Remember, this spell may seem simple, but it actually contains a powerful magical force. If you focus and feel it, you'll gradually start to understand its mysteries."
Alice nodded, half-understanding. "Oh, I see now, Teacher."
At that moment, Delina Reba suddenly spoke up. "Master, I'd like to learn this spell too."
Dean Bruce was taken aback. He hadn't expected Delina Reba to ask for the same thing.
But since she had already asked, he couldn't really refuse.
"Alright, Delina, you can learn it too."
Dean Bruce then began guiding Delina Reba through the strange movements, instructing her to chant the spell as well.
Though Delina Reba seemed somewhat confused, she still followed Dean Bruce's instructions seriously. It didn't take long before she had mastered both the movements and the chant.
When she finished, she looked at Dean Bruce, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Master, does this spell really have such powerful magic?"
Dean Bruce smiled and nodded. "Of course. As long as you focus and feel it, you'll discover its power. But remember, magic requires continuous practice and understanding. Don't rush to see results too quickly."
