Still, Cordelia wasn’t satisfied, but she worried that causing a casualty would only complicate matters, so she reluctantly turned away and surveyed her surroundings.

The school had taken numerous precautions to prevent student harm, leaving not a single sharp edge in sight. She searched for a moment before finally grabbing a chair and tugging Merry along, “Let’s go.”

Any guard who dared approach got a taste of her chair, and Cordelia’s method was simple, direct, and effective.

Her strength was formidable, and after being struck, the guards were laid out cold. But there were too many of them, and escaping was proving to be a challenge.
