"The offenders are in custody already," professor Stark stated, "they will be held accountable for their actions. Being expelled from the academy will be the least of their worries."
Expulsion!? Michael's eyes widened at the revelation.
Though the more he thought about it, the more natural it sounded. Attempted murder was not something that would be taken lightly—even if the offenders were only teenagers.
Judging by the expressions of the headmaster and professor in front of them, it appeared that they would not be giving the boys any leeway, regardless of their noble families status. A fact that Michael was thankful for.
It seems that the headmaster is a just man, he commented inwardly, feeling pleased.
"That brings me peace of mind," Michael admitted, nodding his head—his relief evident.
