"Just wander around," Ren told them, waving dismissively. "I'll call when it's time to head back."
The guards exchanged looks but didn't argue. They nodded, watching as Ren walked toward the towering entrance of the academy.
It was a little freeing, not being flanked on all sides by security. The process of entering the academy was as tedious as ever.
