Flashback:

Luan 1 year and a few months ago, when Luan returned to Rivercity, and was introduced to his cousin Derick, who hadn't seen each other since he was 5, Luan seemed determined that day, he had already agreed to take part in the Awakening Test, but he didn't realize that his challenge was to convince Derick, who seemed to hate his presence, the first days of training were terrible, Derick just wanted to train alone, without Luan's presence, but Luan was determined to win his trust, he constantly tried to outdo Derick, but always ended up lagging behind, but that same week, Luan outdid him, when he challenged him to a race against him, and ended up losing, this was one of the reasons why Derick accepted Luan as his teammate in the Awakening Test, his determination when he wants something, even if at other times Luan seems to be lazy, and ends up annoying Derick, there is a much bigger reason why he accepted Luan, but that reason we will discover later.

The demon is trapped by chains in the Interrogation Room, a typical room, but with a magical barrier preventing the demons from trying anything, it's also a room monitored by cameras, so you can hear and see everything in it.

Luan returns with Derick to the DSO, while Luan agrees something for him on the way:

“Derick, this room is guarded by cameras, and they can hear us, so let's do a little theater at first, honestly that level 2 demon, wouldn't be able to break a magic block, but he has resistance, he must have some consciousness, but clearly he was controlled, and someone else was responsible for breaking the magic block, so this demon was just used as a puppet, as his resistance seems good, they must have used the same way that DSO uses to control the demons in the test, it's not total control, after all it would only be possible to control 100% using an artifact, which by the way has not been seen for thousands of years, they say that the Ring of Solomon, can guarantee the control of a magician over them, but it is not known exactly where this ring could be, the exact location, only suppositions, so I rule out that someone possesses it, we need to find out what method the DSO uses, to obtain this temporary control over the demons. ”

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

“In short, I start interrogating him, I need to show that I'm nervous, so that whoever is behind this, for a moment feels satisfied, as if I'm destabilized, I'll stop time and we'll negotiate with the demon, so no one will know that I'm aware of the trap, then I'll turn back time, remember to stay in the same place, then we'll stay seated at the table, so it doesn't look like I've used magic, then I'll conjure it and send it to my Portal, without the DSO noticing, after all there's no way they can control who goes back to the Hell Portal, only who comes out of it. ”

Derick listens attentively to what Luan says, in all honesty Luan doesn't seem to be a naive 15-year-old boy, he always has a good plan for everything, but that doesn't stop him from having unforeseen events, and that's when Derick comes into play, he also needs to be prepared to improvise, in case Luan's plan doesn't go as expected, he needs to think quickly and act and finish the plan as agreed, regardless of the means that are used.

They arrive at the DSO headquarters, as soon as they arrive they use their badges to pass through the entrance turnstiles, and go straight to the Interrogation Room, the room is very closed, the demon is in the center of the room, in the middle of a magic circle, the boys' Supervisor arrives to greet them, and already starts apologizing for the problem of the invasion at Luan's house:

“Good afternoon, Becker's, I'll start by apologizing for the break-in at your house Luan, I don't know how that could happen.”

Luan and Derick look at him, greet him politely, but Luan is very impatient, so he says:

“Uhm, don't you know how a level 2 Demon broke through the magic barrier of my house? Interesting, even I know that's not possible without someone helping you.”

Luan decides to be honest, or else they'll start to think that because he's only 15, he's some kind of fool who doesn't know what he's doing. Without much ado, the supervisor hands over a folder with a dossier, photos, and a lot of paper to fill in, the two enter the Interrogation Room, place the folder on the table, and they analyze the Demon for a few minutes.
