To keep the other party from lying when answering the questions, Manus had added a few little Enchantment School tricks to the test.
They hardly even counted as magic, so there was naturally nothing to break.
Avoiding these little tricks was simple: all he had to do was not take the test. But since he had taken the initiative to approach Manus through an intermediary, he clearly could not refuse to complete this one test.
If he tampered with the test or simply had someone else take it, those actions alone would reveal that he had an ulterior motive.

Hector breathed a sigh of relief and left with the test.
In truth, he did not want to wade into the murky waters between the Death Eaters and the Wizard Sage Party either, but the request this time really did not sound unreasonable... The Wizard Sage Party had never explicitly forbidden Death Eaters from joining, had it?
Hector and Regulus were relatively close among the pure-bloods, so he had found it difficult to refuse.

But the Wizard Sage Party really should not,
