Damien hurried down the stairs toward the ground floor, as all the elevators were occupied.
He tried calling Ken along the way, but despite the phone ringing repeatedly, there was no answer.
"Dammit!" Damien cursed under his breath.
With a thought, a sword materialized in his right hand. He had no idea what was happening outside, and with the city in such a state of chaos, he wasn't going to take any unnecessary risks. If something dangerous happened or someone attacked him, he wanted to be ready to defend himself.
He soon reached the third floor, but just as he stepped into the corridor, he noticed someone approaching from the opposite direction.
Without wasting a moment, Damien turned around and hurried back up the stairs.
Instructor Brandon was walking through the corridor, checking whether all the students had been evacuated from that floor.
"Is anyone still here?" she asked.
