When Theo began to work, the two guys started screaming.
Victoria thought that these two guys were tough, but they were actually screaming, crying, and even begging for mercy not long after Theo began.
Everything happened in just a span of ten minutes.
Out of respect, Victoria stepped aside and just leaned on the wall, not far from the cell. However, she remained here as if she had to ensure that she didn’t miss out the information.
But even after all that torture, they didn’t say anything about the information as though Theo never had the intention to extract information from them. He just wanted to torture them because they hurt his daughter.
Still, she believed in Theo. He might only do it for a while, and he would soon interrogate them.
Yet the longer she waited, the more anxious she got. After thirty minutes, the sounds of these two began to change.
"!!!" Alarmed, Victoria hurriedly came to the cell to stop Theo. "Teacher Theo! Wha—!"
Her jaws dropped to the floor as she witnessed what happened to these two guys.
80% of their bodies had turned black. It looked like they had been burned with fire, but Theo was simply standing between them while closing his eyes.
Still, those black colors didn’t come solely from fire. She could see several wounds, such as lightning spark and even getting beaten up.
Yes, the lightning spark produced so much heat that it turned their skins into molten lava and gradually cooled down. The beaten area looked a bit clearer. She didn’t know how much they needed to hit somebody for the skin to turn red, blue, purple, and black.
Their eyes were still in the sockets, but they were bleeding all over.
It was then that she noticed yet another stripe of black skin that appeared out of nowhere, covering another 5% of their body.
Victoria didn’t know what Theo was actually doing. It was clear that he was using his illusion to achieve this, but she didn’t know what kind of illusion would produce this effect.
The only thing that looked similar was the same illusion that hit Baold in the past. Yes, the illusion that actually caused Baold’s muscles and skin to remember that there was a palm wound on his chest, which couldn’t be healed.
Looking at these two guys, they must have lost their minds after all this. In addition, because it happened inside the illusion, these two guys wouldn’t die for real until Theo allowed them to. Or at least, until these wounds that had been registered by their muscles and skin became too much.
Mia was indeed Theo’s soft spot. She couldn’t imagine what would happen if Mia actually died. All hell might break loose.
If Theo became a weapon pointed at the world and the academy, she couldn’t imagine the casualties and cruelty that she would face. More importantly, Theo was a schemer, so it would be hard to capture him. It was proven when he revealed all this after leaving the Demon Realm.
"…" Victoria clenched her fists. Theo should know that she would see this and consider the possibility of her disposing of him because of how dangerous he was. Despite that, he still used it and allowed her to witness what happened to them. He must believe that she wouldn’t do anything to him.
Victoria bit her lips. She was calculating in her mind for her next decision. If she wanted to kill Theo, she would have to do it now since Theo was extremely vulnerable when he used that power.
However, the result was the same. Theo wouldn’t have done all this if she hadn’t failed to protect Mia. It could be said that it was her fault.
If she killed him because of this, she also had to kill herself for her hypocrisy. Then again, someone that hypocritical wouldn’t think much about their action.
Victoria pinched the bridge of her nose before letting out a long sigh. In the end, she leaned on the wall once again.
By the time she had sorted out her thoughts, Theo had finished with these two criminals.

He gradually opened his eyes while saying, "It seems that you have made your decision."
As expected, Theo had calculated it, Victoria thought. She said, "Are you done? Don’t you think it’s a bit too excessive? We can’t get any information from them."
"If it’s information, I’ve extracted it from them."
"So, the confession is inside your illusion." Victoria took a deep breath. "Looking at your expression, it seems that the targets are people you can kill right now. In that case, I will go with you. I’m to blame for your daughter’s injury."
"No. I’ll go alone." Theo shook his head. "If you want to help me, you should control what people will see after this incident."
"…" Victoria turned grim. "You should know what I’m going to say, right?"
"I know. That’s why I’ll tell you this. My wife and my daughter are my everything. If they are gone, I don’t need the world."
Victoria let out a long sigh. "People said that smoking could calm my nerve… Maybe I should try it after this."
Theo chuckled. "I’m not going to stop you if you decide to do that, but I’d recommend not thinking much about it. Overthinking is the one stressing you out after all."
Victoria closed her eyes. "Will I have to fight you in the future?"
"I wish no. But there is a certain person out there who might make it happen. And I also believe there are other people who don’t wish to see it as well. I’m doing my best to go to a route where we don’t need to fight, but I can’t guarantee."
"Is that so?" Victoria smiled. "Why does it sound like precognition?"
"Foreshadowing might be a more suitable word." Theo walked away. "Anyway, the second reason why you need to stay at the school is to protect my daughter while I’m gone. I’ll see my daughter first, so see you later."
"Foreshadowing?" Victoria tilted her head in confusion. "That’s a rather unique word to use… or maybe not?"
Victoria fell into deep thought as if she felt something from his message.
