Qian Doudou considered for only a second before issuing a string of commands.
"Implement partial emergency measures!"
"Position Two, increase the observation intensity of the School Guardian Formation. You are authorized to forcibly breach the teaching assistants' office's anti-scrying magic and protective barrier! Report any abnormalities immediately!"
"Position Three, come knock on the door with me. Deploy the Mandarin Duck Battle Formation. If I suffer a fatal attack after the door opens, you are authorized to retreat immediately. Do not hesitate. Do you understand?"
"Captain, isn't this a bit excessive...?"
"I'll ask again. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Received!"
According to the emergency response plans prepared in advance by the various guard squads, once the target encountered an abnormal situation, the guard squad on duty had to immediately notify the other two squads, raise the School Guardian Formation's alert level, and report the matter to the Teaching Assistant Group, the School Labor Committee, and the principal's office.

Obscure protective spell-light flickered around the two wizards. Like ghosts riding the breeze, they drifted silently across the lobby, stairs, and corridors until they reached Thomas's office door.
There were no Door Gods or
