Instructor Luna calmly said, "If we were in the cursed land, all of you would be dead by now."
Everyone looked up at her in fear; none dared to argue.
She continued, "Let me make one thing clear. From this moment until you leave the academy, you will address all your teachers as 'Instructor' or 'Hex Master.' Am I clear?"
Everyone shouted in unison, "Yes, Instructor!"
She looked around the room and asked, "All those who survived the Ancient Cursed Land, stand up."
The first to stand were Samuel and Liam. Then, one after another, others followed.
Zayn also got up. With one glance, he noticed that five were from the human section, three from the elf side, one from the dwarves' side, and the last three were from other species.
Zayn frowned at this.
Xane asked him, [What happened? Did the number not match?]
Xane motioned toward Samuel. [It must be this guy, right?]
Zayn nodded.
