.He’ll never take the ‘direct path’ again!

"Ah?" Seui stared with slight surprise. They already arrived? Since this shallow pond couldn't be their laboratory in any way , the stairs should be leading to the lab?

At this moment he was suddenly brought back to earth by a poke in his arm. Seui turned to see Yew urgently signalling him to follow along , while half of the students were already climbing the stairs after Mr. Fou.

Seui following along thoughtfully while pondering on the current situation. Wasn't the stairs supposed to be rarely used in this era? So why was the so called direct path to the Research Laboratory still a staircase?

They climbed for two minutes, which then became five minutes and gradually ten minutes, but all they could see were endless stairs, with the so called Laboratory nowhere in sight. Most of the students were already sweating profusely while trying hard to drag their feet, even Seui was slightly panting with every step he took.
