As commander Hood said those words, Timi who was calm before and was sure that he couldn't be found out, was now having his heart beating fast. The words Sunny had told him the other day, that he should be careful of the Hood family, especially the man called Hood himself.
Even as he was careful of the family, Blake was still on his neck, but he still don't think there will be any occasion where he and the man called Hood will be having a face to face discussion. And due to this, he had completely forgotten that the man called Hood is in the room with him this whole time, until now that he said those words.
Although, the man had said a few words here and there while they were being interrogated, none of it caught Timi attention. Commander Hood brought out his communicating crystal and moved out, none of the other commanders said anything, and a minute later he entered and sat back on his seat.
"Like Commander Shaw had said earlier, you have answered us to the best of your knowledge, as for the answers you gave us; I can't say it's all genuine also and I can't say it's all lies. So, to get answers that will satisfy me from you, there's one more process you need to go through." Commander Hood said.
The other commanders understood what Hood is trying to say and they all think it's necessary, because these students are their main suspect; but Commander Shaw is having a different thought from others.
'Isn't he going too far, this is more like an accusation and no more a suspect case, trying to force answer out of them.' Shaw thought.
'Damn, now I understand why Sunny said this man is dangerous, is he trying to use truth spell on us, how can I escape this now.' Timi was more nervous than before. If his guess was right, then he knew he can't escape it, they will surely get the answer from him.
A truth spell can be used on anybody as long as they are conscious, when the spell is being used, it will force answer out of its victim, any question asked will be answered truthfully, but when the spell is canceled, the victim won't be aware of the answer they have given, it will be as if they haven't answer at all.

A few minutes later, two figure entered the room, a round belly man with white spiky beard and blonde hair, his eyes were round and lively with small round nose, he looks more like a kind of lively and healthy pig than human.
The person next to him was a slender woman with black straight hair and pointy nose, they are both wearing white robe.
They exchanged a few greetings with the five commanders before they started conversing silently that Timi and his friends couldn't hear.
After five minutes of their silent conversation, the two mages moved towards the four students and gestured for them to sit.
"You guys should stay calm, we aren't biting you." The round belly man said and with that he placed his hands on Idan and Temmy while the woman placed her hands on Timi and Diana.
'What to do, what to do, I need to think.'
He didn't have any skill in his arsenal to counter the truth spell and he knew once the spell is activated, he would be left stranded with no resistance against it and thus, his secret would be delivered to them.
'Huh wait?'
White glow started forming around the round belly man's palm and as it did, it reflected on Idan and Temmy's eye devouring any hint of black away from their eye ball, only a white glow could be seen. The same thing was happening to Timi and Diana as the woman's palm glow.
After the white glow has completely enveloped each of their eyes, the two mages stepped back and signal for the commanders to ask whatever they wanted.
Commander Hood was the one who stepped forward as the request was his'.
Looking at the four kids, he smile as he turned back facing the other four Commanders.
"Hope none of you is against the fact that I took the interrogating position without asking for your opinions."
He asked which they all nodded in response, except Commander Shaw who tried to say something but was ignored as Hood smile again and turned back to face the four motionless students.
"We'll find which one of you is using stupid trick on us."
Idan was the first on the roll, Temmy beside him while Timi is on the last with Diana besides him, they're all still, not moving. Facing the motionless Idan, Commander Hood asked with cold chilling voice and a threatening expression.
"Idan Kidan, do you have the level 8 Gorgon's core with you?"
Idan shook his head negatively with no hint of lifelines in him.
Not surprised, Commander Hood asked another question.
"Did you sell it yesterday?"
Idan did the same thing, nodding his head negatively.
Hood moved onto the next student which was Temmy asking her the same question.
"Temmy Krane, do you have the level 8 Gorgon's core with you?"
"Did you sell it yesterday?"
Temmy answered the same way Idan did and which Diana and Timi also gave the same answer. Frustrated, Commander Hood changed his question asking them in a different way.
"Are you the criminal who manipulated a man named Jone with a fake Gorgon core?"
"Do you know the person who did it?"
"Which one of you has the Gorgon's core?"
All his attempts to twist questions for them hoping to get a valid answer were all futile. With no valid answer from the four students, Commander Hood hid his frustrated face under the mask of calm expression, he told the mage to cancel the spell, released the students and left withou saying anything to the other commanders.
