Kadir felt his vision blur.
The next second.
He found himself in a dimly lit place, somewhat familiar but eerily silent.
Bookshelves were neatly arranged all around, filled with books, and some familiar lecturers and professors were reading there. Kadir's arrival seemed to go unnoticed, and everything appeared normal.
"This is the secret library on the fifth floor of the academy's main library... How did I suddenly get here?!"
Kadir was initially startled and suspicious, but then felt a chill down his spine. Such a bizarre occurrence made him shiver.
He looked up and saw a young man in a black suit and a black top hat sitting on a wooden chair in front of him, reading a book with an ivory-white cane casually leaning on the chair's edge.
"Come, sit."
The man didn't lift his head, merely pointed to an empty chair beside him.
Kadir's heart tightened.
