Link received a new mission after defeating Darris. He originally intended to bring Darris straight back to the Easy Cove Higher Magic Academy. However, he decided against it after some thought.
The mission states that I am not allowed to ruin the name of the academy. It will be too impulsive if I bring Darris directly to the academy and accuse him in front of everyone, Link thought.
Darris definitely had to be brought back for investigation. However, he could not be openly accused. The implications of a Level-6 Magician and his chief disciple researching black magic together is way too devastating. While punishment had to be met, Principal Anthony definitely did not want word to get out and reflect negatively on the academy.
Anthony would prefer to quietly settle this issue with minimum damage to the academy's reputation.
