In the end, only six were left to go to the dining hall with Zane. Nate, Matt, John, Precious Snow, Olive and Jet. To Zane's surprise, even Jet had joined them though he had been oddly quiet for some reason. Their class was up a hill so they had to descend to get down.
Nate had shown them the staircase at the back of the forest that led to one of the dining halls of the Department of Combat. According to Nate, his elder brother took the Advanced Combat Sniping course last year and claimed this was a well-kept secret in the classroom.
The stairs were long and spiral, they had crackings all over and they could not even see the end. Zane was not sure it was stable so he tried to check with his feet.
"If his staircase ends up leading us to the middle of an undiscovered ruin. I will kill you." John sneered.
Nate was not in the slightest bit afraid of John who had gotten the lowest score in the class so he laughed.
