The moment the tragedy came to light, the students present almost immediately turned all of their suspicion toward Aurek.
In their eyes, there was no one else who could possibly use such blood-drenched, merciless methods to kill. The corpses that had been displayed within the palace halls all bore horrendous, unspeakably gruesome death scars.
Because of this, the students were almost certain in an instant—everything that had happened had to be Aurek's doing.
Of course, there were still a few who suspected something else was at play.
For example, Jike, the president of the Hyrule War Academy Student Council, felt that this entire affair was dripping with strangeness.
If Aurek truly wished to target the students, why would he only kill a few of them? With his reputation for brutality and cruelty, he could have slaughtered every last student in a single sweep.
If he had done so, he would have actually saved himself a great deal of trouble afterward.
