The Teaching Assistant froze, wondering if the blood loss was making him see things.
'Did I just see a few matchsticks fly past?'
Then, he looked back again.
The wall he'd been leaning against had, at some point, become a fissure in Space. A Teleportation Gate opened, and Lloyd's upper half emerged from it. He said irritably:
"Why are you all hiding in such a tiny place? I almost couldn't find you!"
The moment he saw Lloyd, the Teaching Assistant's face turned even paler.
'He's still here?'
'He was actually stupid enough to run back and save me?'
"You…"
The Teaching Assistant was about to curse him out, but Lloyd was faster. He grabbed the man's shoulder and, with a sharp tug, pulled him into the Teleportation Gate.
The other two instructors hadn't expected this to happen and seemed completely dumbfounded, forgetting to either run or make a sarcastic remark.
