Grima (2/5)

While the students were busy panicking, Grima and his men strolled casually up the stairs through the eighth and ninth floors, they didn't even bother checking the rooms on the ninth floor, as they already knew their captives had already packaged themselves on the highest floor, which was the tenth one.

On the staircase there, they could already hear the noisy, incessant chattering and the hurried footsteps; the sounds of doors shutting and the repetitive noise of students banging on doors could also be clearly heard.

The clamor made the three of them smile in satisfaction.

They finally arrived.

The hallway fell immediately silent as a stare contest kick-started between both parties.

"I thought there was a magical portal up here to whisk you away from me," Grima broke the silence.

"Haha, look at them, they seem so feeble, how were they even expecting to survive boarded up in this place?" One of his men laughed.
