As soon as she finished speaking, she strode into the magic door.
Ripples like water spread across the door, completely swallowing her enormous body.
But before the students could grow nervous, Professor Nini had already emerged from the other side of the door. She walked around the doorframe to the front, made a gesture, and flashed a broad smile. "Safe."
Professor Nini still took the lead, and the students behind her carefully stepped through.
Once there was a first, there came a second. Even the more timid students successfully crossed through the door under the guidance of the group's collective will.
Dark entered with the crowd and immediately spotted the magic marker in the middle of the "reception hall."
It was a mermaid-like sculpture floating above an altar.
His thoughts stirred, and he took the [Magic Needle] from the backpack Gatomon was carrying before walking toward the mermaid statue glowing with an eerie blue light.
Surprisingly, quite a few students approached the mermaid statue at the same time as him.
After a brief look, he found that most of these students were from the Magister House. There were students from other academies as well, but not many.
More than ten of them exchanged smiles, then gathered around the mermaid statue and began collecting its magic power.
Emma from the Knight Academy and Sara Swati from the Magister House were among them.
"Eh?" Professor Nini watched Dark and the others' actions. Her not-so-sharp mind turned for quite a while before she suddenly realized that she had never taught this part.
She hurriedly rummaged through the little backpack behind her, but naturally failed to find the [Magic Needle] that did not actually exist there.
Perhaps because she had never gotten lost in the Dungeon, Professor Nini had never used a [Magic Needle].
