Vindictus finally entered Tate's office and noted the group of students who came. "I hope that everyone here can answer some questions that Headmaster Tate will ask once he arrives back at the school," he said as he walked over to an empty chair next to Jacob. He deposited the petrified and confunded teenage boy in the chair (sitting upright, of course), and gave Jacob a look that said 'watch him.'

"If you're here just to see what is going to happen, then I suggest you leave or risk upsetting the Headmaster."
