Jareth was messing with Mark on purpose, but Mark misunderstood that he was trying to teach him about the way of being a real wizard.
Mark nodded his head and said,
"I will keep it in mind!"
Jareth nodded his head and said,
"Well, you still technically tanked the attack, so you win…"
As Jareth said those words, a staircase appeared nearby.
Mark was surprised by Jareth's words; he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Jareth had already declared that he had passed, which means he had to leave now. It would be rude to stay here anymore.
Mark nodded his head and climbed the stairs to leave.
After a few minutes of climbing the stairs, he found himself standing in the main garden of the university.
'Oh~ so there was a hidden staircase here? It must have been hidden with magic detection, nullifying artifacts…'
