Tommy was not held in the interrogation room, nor was he made to tread the treadmill in prison.
Instead, he was very carefully detained in a secret chamber beneath the Supervisory Bureau in the Red Queen District.
His hands were shackled in glowing irons, and a shimmering silver-white seal was branded onto his naked back. He wore only a pair of shorts without pockets, nothing else.
The Upper-Level Demon Tommy had contracted with was chopped off by the Guardian within ten minutes. After he was detained, he was also searched to confirm there were no accessories or materials on him—not even his mouth was spared a thorough inspection for any hidden false teeth.
As a Demon Scholar, he should have been disarmed... but even so, he was still firmly sealed by the Legal Mages, rendering the mana within him immobile. The same light attribute mana that could heal others and dispel darkness in the hands of a Priest, became a tool for binding and sealing in the hands of Legal Mages.
