Bab 136: First Fear

"Jason, go ahead and enter the portal." Amber said and stepped back.

"No, the moment I do that, Iktomi  will try to kill you. Being alone in front of a beast like him is definitely going to kill you." Jason argued in a voice only audible to Amber.

Both of their guardians were currently out of commission so they couldn't talk to each other using telepathy.

"The same thing will happen even if I enter the portal. The only way to avoid conflict is if we both manage to enter a portal together." Amber countered.

"Wait…" Jason paused, an idea entering his mind. "What if we both touch the portal at the same time?"

"Huh?"

"Principal Albus never said that two people couldn't enter the portal at the same time." Jason pointed out.

"Uh, he did say that two people couldn't enter the same portal."

[ He did say that only a single person can enter a portal. ]
