Chapter 72：Expelled?! (2/2)

”The lurker informed me.”

”Who's the lurker?” Gary asked.

”You students have learned too many secrets for one day. Once we pass the red doors, not a word to anyone. Even with my position, there is only so much I can do.”

We carried on walking until we eventually reached the giant iron door. Sir K stopped again.

”Which one of you opened this door?”

Before the others could answer, I quickly said

”It was open when we got here.” I looked at the others and they quickly understood that I wanted to keep this a secret.

Sir k then told us to wait on the other side of the doors. We weren't able to see what he was doing, but the giant iron doors started to close. He briskly ran through the doors before they shut, locking and resetting until they appeared like we had first encountered.

As we began to walk off, I heard a soft gentle voice.

”Come back when you are stronger.”

Judging by everyone's reaction, I was the only one who had heard the voice. I carried on walking to not raise any suspicion. The voice was a familiar one. It was the same one as I had heard in my dream.

After heading back up the spiral stairway, we finally reached the red door. There were still no guards like when we had first arrived. Sir K put a new lock on the door so it looked like we had never broken in. He then handed Jasmine over to us and instructed us to take her to the hospital. He also recommended the rest of us get checked up at the hospital as well.

Before Sir K could leave, Gary had one last thing to ask.

”Do you think we could perhaps have the minotaur's beast crystal?”

Sir K had extracted the beast crystal as soon as he had defeated the beast. I was hoping the system would have obtained the crystal, but luck wasn't on my side today.

”This is my prize. I didn't get injured just for you little twerps.”

After that, Sir K was enveloped by shadows and disappeared from our sight.

We did as Sir K instructed and went straight to the hospital to get checked up. Jasmine was still unconscious and we were told she would have to stay there for a few days. Gary had to wear a cast while waiting for his arm to heal. Monk had been hurt the least out of all of us, getting away with a few burn marks here and there.

I, on the other hand, had a peculiar experience at the hospital. Originally when I checked in at the hospital, they said that I needed to stay a few days similar to Jasmine. Although I didn't have any serious superficial wounds, they said there were many internal injuries they needed to be taken care of. After a few hours had passed, the doctors ran a few more tests and were baffled by the results: no internal injuries. They just chalked it up to faulty medical supplies used during the initial inspection and after a day or two, I was free to go.
