There is no doubt that Magic Power is now at a crossroads, having to decide whether to submit to the persuasion of the man before him or to continue to keep secrets at great risk.
However, the trickery of words lies in making the other person feel that they have the opportunity to choose and should choose between two answers.
Reality is not a game, there are not two obligatory options, all actions are utterly free, and when you hesitate between two answers to choose from, you often fall into the trap of the questioner.
As an excellent student, Magic Power is not foolish, although initially indeed frightened, but as time goes by, reason slowly returns.
The other party did not reveal their identity, and he cannot guarantee that once he speaks up, the other party will keep his secret. Speaking out now will not only gain no advantage but will instead confirm his own actions.
