The guy who had just phased through Adrian didn't even glance back. Instead, he let out a low, amused laugh, his lips curling into a smirk as he strode toward the entrance of the Great Hall. The students watching the scene remained tense, murmuring among themselves.
Adrian, still visibly disturbed, turned to Aiden and Sevan.
"Tell me you guys saw that."
They both nodded.
"We saw it," Aiden muttered. "I just don't know what we saw."
"He didn't use shadow magic or a teleportation spell. He actually passed through you, Adrian."
Adrian shuddered, rubbing his arms. "Yeah, thanks for the reminder."
The guy reached the entrance of the Great Hall, rolling his shoulders as if preparing for something. Then, with an air of complete nonchalance, he stepped forward.
And at that exact moment...
The sound of trumpets exploded through the air.
