"So, it seems you three violated school rules and caused much trouble. Now, what should I do with you?"
The principal looked at the trio in front of him with calm eyes. Out of the three, only one person looked worried: Nadia.
The principal knew about Nadia and her situation. She was from a backward village and had run away to take this academy test because her life was in danger. She was one of the brightest students this academy had ever seen.
"Now then, what shall I do with you? According to the rule book, I have no choice but to expel you all. Would that be alright with you?"
Both Rachael and Nadia reacted to this threat. They both had reasons for being here and wanted to stay in the academy.
Thankfully, the principal understood and decided to give them a second chance.
"Well, you are sorry for what happened, so I will not hold this against you. However, I cannot simply overlook this matter. Especially since it involves you, Miss Rachael."
