With everything that had occurred, all of the second-year students that belonged to the Red Headband group were allowed to return. This was thanks to Amir's convincing words to Murkel.
No one quite knew what he had said that day, but he had managed to calm down the principal into making a decision. Not only that, the students were only asked very simple questions about the events that had occurred, and they weren't really probing either.
The students themselves didn't want to ask about it because it felt like they had gotten away with murder for the situation they were in.
Although it wasn't all bells and whistles for the group. The second years were to stay in the main academy. They weren't allowed to interact with any of the other students or teachers other than those that had been assigned to them in the main academy.
They also weren't allowed to leave but would still be given regular training. Rather than like students, they felt like prisoners.
