That would be a valid option and save him from the execution block. And it would also bring shame upon the families of the dead students due to the disgrace their children did since they would have not only ganged up on a single person for an ambush but also failed miserably doing so, all of them being swiftly deleted with no trace left of their bodies.
Still, that meant that he would also undoubtedly make many new, powerful adult enemies who wanted either him dead or ruined which was less than ideal.
He had already made more than enough noble enemies during his stay at the Griffith family mansion when he had won against all odds with not 1, but 2 separate yet massive bets.
His only other option to prevent such an outcome would have been to throw the blame of their deaths onto either Jason or Nags, he couldn't care less about them and it would save him most of his current headaches. However, that would have been an even worse option.
