Chapter 54: A little help

"Go ahead," Grey said, but he didn't open the door for them. He simply stepped aside, gesturing for the others to go first.

Elias was suspicious. He didn't think the door was as simple as Grey made it out to be. It was especially strange since he couldn't see the material composition of the door. He stayed back, letting the others test the waters.

"What's there to be scared of? It's just a door." Rey was the first to move. Even if the Professor was dangerous, he believed that he wouldn't kill him.

He was a descendant of the Esterin family. It would be different if he did something wrong and was killed during class. But if a Professor messed with him here for no reason, even the Academy would have a hard time dealing with the consequences.

He placed his hand on the door and pushed. However, the door didn't budge.

"Is it locked?" Rey frowned, using even more force to push the door, but it still wouldn't move.
