I, Zed, and Valeria led the group of thirty noble and wealthy students through the swirling portal into the mid-low level dungeon gate.
The air immediately grew thick with an otherworldly pressure, and the ground beneath their feet shifted slightly, as if the dungeon itself was alive.
I scanned the surroundings, my instincts already on high alert. This wasn't going to be an easy task, but I had been through worse.
"Stay close and follow my instructions," I called out, my voice calm but firm.
"Don't wander off. We're here to clear this gate and get you all the experience you need, not to babysit anyone."
Most of the students nodded, clearly aware of the seriousness of the situation.
However, some of the nobles, used to their wealth and privilege, seemed uninterested in following orders.
They whispered among themselves, occasionally shooting glances at me as if to challenge my authority.
Stupid.
