141: Private Lesson- Part 2

Victor led him out of the house and toward the academy, but instead of taking the usual route, he veered off toward an area Liam had never been to before. 

The academy grounds were vast, filled with hidden pathways and off-limits sections. The place Victor was leading him now felt… forgotten.

Liam felt every muscle in his body tense.

"Where exactly are we going?" 

Liam asked, his tone casual despite his growing wariness.

Victor chuckled. 

"Somewhere private. Wouldn't want any distractions, would we?"

That didn't ease Liam's concerns at all.

Still, he followed.

They walked for a few more minutes before arriving at what appeared to be an old training hall. It was far from the bustling areas of the academy, tucked away in an isolated corner. 

The air inside was thick with dust, and the faint scent of old parchment and aged wood filled the room.

Victor stepped inside first, turning back to gesture for Liam to follow.
