Just then, Kaelen slowly raised his hand from behind, looking a bit confused.
"Yes, Kaelen?"
"So all those tasks you gave I mean telling them to make funny faces, You did that just to bring their confidence back? You mean there is no actual illusion in this wall at all?"
"Hmm, you are half right," Lucian replied with a faint smile.
"There is illusion magic in this wall, though it only activates the exact moment your confidence breaks — even just a little bit. If you want to shatter that illusion, you simply have to do something that completely diverts your mind. Like making a stupid face. Once your fear is distracted, your natural confidence automatically returns."
Just then, Elira's face grew a bit smug as Lucian finished explaining,
"Hmph..."
A clear, proud shine was visible on her face, as if she was internally boasting:
Yeah, that is my beloved husband. Look at him, you people from other academies... see how much of a genius he is.
