Daniel increased his pace, but the ladies still followed. Every time he turned, they matched his direction. Since this was a mage school, where magic was taught, its guests and visitors were all mages.
With bodies strengthened beyond that of ordinary people, some were even former Enforcers from the days when the Hightower held sole power over the Curtained World. This meant these "thirsty" ladies were more than capable of chasing him, no matter how quickly he tried to escape.
