"Alright, everyone! You need to start heading back. Your schedule will be updated, and we will inform you about it soon."
Teachers quickly arrived to escort the excited students back to their guardians. Only a few students remained behind as the crowd dispersed.
Liam was looking forward to sneaking out when he felt a hand land on his shoulder. The familiar energy that passed through his system told Liam all he needed to know.
"Young man, why don't we have a talk on the side? You see, I'm really curious to know what you think about the demon attack."
Victor smiled as he spoke. He was addressing Liam in front of everyone, ensuring that Liam wouldn't have an excuse to refuse him.
"I—I don't know what you're talking about. Ahh, now that I think about it, I really need to head out—"
Liam's shoulder was caught before he could make a move. One glance behind him was enough to tell him that he wasn't going to escape so easily.
