Soon, Meridith and another instructor arrived at the cavern, along with Henry and Art.
After Derek had gone off on his own, the two boys had hurried to find Meridith, who happened to be near the Housemaster's room at the time. She immediately informed Yami and brought another instructor with them.
Fortunately, Yami had been the first to reach the scene sooner — otherwise, Emma might have been turned into a beast as well, or far worse things could have happened. Still, Leo's death weighed heavily on him. He couldn't shake off the quiet guilt gnawing at his chest.
"Derek?!" Henry and Art cried out in panic when they saw Derek lying unconscious. They rushed to his side at once.
Meridith followed closely behind.
"He's fine," Yami said, walking toward them while dragging Peter along by the collar like a sack of trash.
"Wha—what happened to Peter?!" Meridith finally noticed him, her eyes widening at the sight of Peter's mangled, barely alive body.
