It took me two tries of meandering around the endless streets of Fortune Academy until I dumbly realized that the paths branched out from the epicenter which was the Central Hall, followed by circular streets that repeated in alternate patterns. Once I found the familiar path that had the Freshman Dormitories followed by the shifter tree forts and finally the dark mage onyx spires, I took the last path in a long arc that took me to a series of small golden buildings.

Bingo.

I placed my hand up to the pad and let myself in. A few other students eyed me nervously and I figured I must be in the right place.

My people... the duds. Dante would be so proud.

I looked at the sign on the wall with names and office numbers. Miss Williams was on the second floor so I found the stairs and made my way up. Half of the lost looking souls in the lobby followed me.

“Dud duty?” a sheepish girl asked.

I gave her a nod. “Yep.”

She let out a sigh of relief and clutched onto the rail as she climbed the steps beside me. “I thought I was the only one at first, but looks like there are quite a few of us.” She glanced back at the crowd of students who seemed engrossed in watching their feet as they followed us. “We’ve been gathering for a few days now.

So if established groups of supernaturals who thought they were the best thing since sliced bread were bad news, maybe I should go for the opposite. Being a dud didn’t mean I was mortal and neither did it mean anyone else here was weak. I knew I was strong, but my powers were probably affected by whatever Kaito had done to me. What if someone like Olivia also had binds on her? Maybe it was a stretch, but I’d rather look for allies I could count on.

I felt more confident marching around with my army of duds, as ridiculous a notion as that was. Having the small comfort of others counting on me made me feel like I wasn’t so worthless.

I found Miss William’s door and knocked. She opened it and her eyes widened at the crowd behind me. “Are you all duds?” she asked bluntly, holding up a coffee mug and
