These images and feeling were felt by the group and their emotions of alarm and shock came through the link as though they were his own feelings. Anger from the group replaced the feelings of shock as they could feel her frustration from the initial attack despite not being aware of it. Eve's own memories flooding through them showed her own guilt, and they had only one choice in their decision. As the feelings of each mage flooded through the link at the evidence they were given, one set of feelings were different. Monica had no feelings of anger or shock, but pride and love for her friend's protection. She also contained no small amount of awe as the scenes played out and each of them could see how the energies appeared to another myalomancer during the attack on Von.
Once the elders had reviewed the memories from Eve and Stephen several times, a thought was projected through the link from the tortoise mage. Unlike his slow and thoughtful spoken words, within this link, his mental voice came out deep and powerful indicating his strength of will. Von, would you allow us to access the memories of the first attack as well as your memories of this second attack?
In a panic as the system had defended against the original attack, not him, he wasn't certain what to do or say. His system came to his rescue.
Thinking his panic was due to him wondering if he had done something wrong to trigger the first attack, the ancient tortoise sent a second loud and powerful thought through the link. Do not worry. Just show us your memories starting before we arrived through the end of the first attack. Based on Eve's memories, we are all certain you did nothing to intentionally provoke her assault.
The boy could feel the affirmations coming from everyone present except Monica. From her, he felt comforting thoughts and caring about the possibility he could have been injured. Between the wizards' certainty of his innocence and Monica's feelings of caring, he relaxed. Thinking directly through the link toward Stephen, he asked, how do I open those memories for everyone else to see?
The response came back quickly from the man's mind. Think of those memories as being in a chest. Create a room in your mind containing the six of us and the chest in the center. Once we are all there, open the chest and let the memories flood out into the room for everyone to see them. Then leave the chest open and we can each see the memories and wander through them as we wish. If you only put these memories in the room, the room will act as boundaries where no one but you, me, or another myalomancer could possibly travel, and I, of course, will respect these boundaries.
Following his new mentor's instructions, he retrieved all the memories. The memories he placed within the chest started from the point where Monica, Brook, Oren and himself sat at the table while Stephen was still acquiring his results.
Once everyone was in his newly created mental room, Von opened the chest revealing his memories and feelings to the other five of them. They could each feel the hope of high scores he felt for Monica as they waited for Brook to reveal the results from her scroll and the sudden appearance of the three elder wizards. His joy at recognizing archmage Poralis again came through the memories and his feelings of the chronomancer being an incredible mentor was felt by the group causing Poralis to exhibit a feeling of embarassment through the shared link.
Following this, his thought of seeing the shimmering robe and the practically floating elven wizard revealed themselves before his memories noting her circlet and each of the bracers despite appearing to be identical each was a unique focus for her various magical abilities. Looking closely, he noted the dimensional magics from the left bracer were quite strong, while the wreath upon her head which most would suspect based on the infinity symbols and gems adorning it to be her choromancy focus was instead, a focus dedicated aiding her with her communion of plants while the right bracer had an essence of living wood associated with it. The rings upon her fingers contained minor essences of other magics, including in order from right hand to left, hydromancy, geomancy, phosphomancy, venomancy, apotropaic magic, cartomancy, and personal transformation magics.
The feeling coming from the elders upon experiencing this memory was amazement and embarassment. The other wizards were surprised to discover the elven archmage's foci were not what they had all thought, while the wizard in question felt embarassment at having had her secrets revealed by someone less than a hundredth of her age. Through the link Von was able to feel all present turn to look at the strong elven woman before their focus came back to the memories in the shared space.
The memories continued as in them he had examined the elven woman and wondered if her feet were touching the floor at all as she moved, or if it was imagined. He thought of her emerald eyes shaped like precious almonds and delicate features and wondered if Mon would grow to be this beautiful as well. Experiencing these thoughts, the elven woman gave off another feeling of deep embarrassment while Monica's thoughts turned to the appearance of the same woman and wonderment about Von's feelings for her kindled thoughts of hugging him for some unknown reason.
The group watched the memories of Von examining the other woman as she appeared before him. Her dark indigo robe didn't seem to match her hair or eyes. So, they felt his presumption the color had to do with her specialty. The group felt is dismissal of the brain-shaped pendant around her neck and his feelings that her tiara was the actual attuned focus and her specialty was mind magics. Von's memories turned to his thoughts about her eyes and how they seemed to be hiding something as they seemed as though they were trying to look through him before her eyebrow raised as she looked at him. He wondered what was going on behind her eyes as she was staring directly at him. His thoughts also roamed into thinking she must be a stern instructor based on her lack of wasted movement as she walked.
The group were able to feel his notice of the lavender probe heading toward him and extending desire to be wearing a helmet to protect against the intrusion. They saw the mental energies forming a helmet-like barrier around his head preventing the first probe from entering his mind which she followed up with three more probes, each more vivid and vibrant than the one before it. Together they witnessed the large lavender arrow-like bolt signifying an attack commonly referred to as a mental blast or mind thrust as the master myalomancer sent a shard of her mental power toward the young man in an attempt to incapacitate his mental abilities and potentially knock him out had he been unprepared.
Looking through these memories and those he had obtained from Eve, Von discovered he was able to determine how she created not only the assault, but the various probes as well. Apparently, his system agreed with his evaluation as he received a notification.
As they continued to review his memories, they felt his sudden desire to have his temporal focus in his hand and the collapse of space between his hand and the hourglass as once again, instinct took over. He then not only maintained his defense against the probes but used temporal compression to speed only himself to leap from the chair to dodge out of the way of this potentially devastating attack.
The group noted after Von dodged the impending attack, he watched in slow motion as the tendril chose to drift toward Monica instead of him now. Taking note of the intense concentration and willpower he was using to maintain his defensive helm, keep himself sped slightly out of phase and mentally place his protective helmet on Monica's head before the probe could make contact with her.
After he stopped the probes from connecting with his friend, the woman had stopped with her attempts, and Von's memories showed he felt like he was just being tested and believed it was an everyday occurrence when meeting new students and nothing more. His memories then showed his relief at passing this tough examination by the instructor in front of them.
The hatchling has no fault in this matter. Eve had attempted to probe his thoughts multiple times without him being convicted of any crime, not had he given permission. This is a violation of the ethics of this academy.
Feeling a strong hands on each shoulder, he saw the tortoise and Archmage Polaris had each placed a hand on his actual shoulder as the discussion raged mentally about what the punishment should be, and once convicted, how to see probe past her defenses to determine how many students or others she had probed without their consent.
