Saratoga Castle.
At one of the highest spires in this ancient castle sat the Headmaster's office. Inside, Professor Whitaker and a few other faculty members stood in tense silence, grim expressions etched across their faces.
These were the only faculty members left guarding the ancient castle—just a handful of Mana Vortex Magi. The rest of them had gone to witness the Grand Magus Tournament.
And now… whether they were alive or not was unknown.
Fortunately enough, the vast majority of Saratoga's students still remained inside the safety of the castle. Whether it was by design or happenstance, the students were told to remain in the castle until after the tournament had concluded. There was supposed to be a special closing ceremony held at the castle.
Of course, the one to give that order was none other than the Headmaster himself. Now, with all that was happening in Ravenfell, the few faculty members couldn't help but feel grateful for the Headmaster's foresight.
