The moment Nina finished speaking, the room went silent—then broke into chaos.
A few students stood up in a panic, knocking over chairs, their voices rising in frantic whispers.
Some headed for the door, only to stop short, unsure of where to go or what to believe.
"Dungeon? Here?"
One student gasped.
"That's impossible!"
Another shouted, eyes wide in fear.
The fear spread like fire, fast and uncontained. But before the panic could spiral any further, the teacher clapped his hands sharply.
"Alright, everyone, enough!"
The room stilled.
He stepped forward, his expression calm but stern, and gestured for everyone to sit.
"There is no dungeon. Nothing is going to happen."
Nina narrowed her eyes, lips pressing into a tight line.
The teacher turned to her next, his voice more gentle but no less firm.
