As Belma covered her mouth with her hands, silence settled in this small space.
The two n standing behind her exchanged wary glances, trying to gauge each other's reactions.
They probably didn’t expect a situation like this to arise. After all, nothing significant had happened during all the similar incidents before.
Now, they must be thinking about how to justify themselves, but with this short amount of ti, there’s no way they could co up with a proper response. At best, they might just try to pressure Belma.
“Belma! What on earth are you saying?!”
Seeing the administrative professor shout abruptly, I tapped my fingers on the desk.
Hmm. Watching the elder ponder beside seems to have improved my skills too. The situation is unfolding as I anticipated.
‘What should I do?’
It’s not that difficult to put pressure on these two. Being within the academy, there are limits to the safety they enjoy.
The academy only protects them from the nobles’ tyranny. If their faults are clear, they won’t even have to fight against the nobles. Especially if the person in question holds considerable status.
In short, if I report these two, their academy life would co to an end. Not only that, but they would also have to pay the price for touching a noble.
I don’t know for sure, but the level of punishnt would likely be severe. Since a commoner touching a noble, they’d treat it as an example to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
The problem is that if I do that, Belma will get caught up in it too. After all, she’s involved in this as well.
As a character I frequently see, I’ve grown attached to her. I don’t want to drag her down with unnecessarily.
Ah, I just realized there’s another problem.
If these two are dealt with half-heartedly, the commoner group will show even more hostility toward , possibly more than they do now. While not threatening, it will certainly be botherso.
‘Huh?’
I was hoping for advice because thinking is a hassle, but getting such a response is troubling. I tried to throw a little tantrum, but the elder was adamant.
