Like with most things Raze did, he had planned for the worst-case scenario.
In his mind, he always envisioned things going sideways, just in case. It was the safest way to operate. So when he made his way into the principal's office, he'd already considered the possibility that someone might discover his presence there.
Maybe there were magical traps set up. Maybe alarms had been triggered. Maybe the academy had hidden surveillance or enchanted contraptions meant to alert faculty or summon guards in secret.
Yet… none of that had happened.
Everything had gone smoothly. Too smoothly.
Which meant Raze had gotten lucky. For now.
It was turning out to be his best-case scenario. But even then, in the event someone had appeared, he was prepared. Prepared to do what was necessary.
That meant eliminating the witness, cleanly, silently. And with his Dark Magic, he could make a body disappear without leaving so much as a fingerprint behind.
